^) AN away from the subscribers in Trenton in
the night of the 12th inst. two indented Irish
servants, one named William Graham, a labourer,
about 20 years of age, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high,
much marked with the small-pox on the nose: Had
on when he went away an old short drab-coloured
coat much patched, one pair old cloth breeches, and
cloth jacket; also took with him a blue coat, cordu
roy jacket, and a red and white striped Holland
jacket. The other named James M'Coy, about 20
years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, short light
brown hair, marked with the small-pox a little in the
face, clumfey built: Had on and took with him when
he went away, one old brown coat and jacket, one
pair of green ribbed Bergen breeches, one old black
pair of plufli do. one ruffled shirt, two plain shirts, and
one felt hat. It is likely they have changed their
clothes and forged pafl'es—and it is thought they are
gone to the Nine Partners in New-York state, or
New-England. Whoever takes up said servants and
secures them in any gaol, so as their matters may
have them again, shall have the above reward, and
all reasonable charges paid by

The following ANECDOTE, relating to Mr. Whifton,
is an instance of primitive plainness of speech, and
integrity of heart, seldom found in Courts.
WHISTON was a pensioner to Queen Caroline,
who sometimes admitted him to the honour of
her conversation, and paid the pension with her own
hands. One day the said to him, Mr. Whifton, I un
derstand you are a free speaker, and honestly tell peo
ple of their faults; no one is without faults, and I
with you would tell me of mine ; and the pressed him
to do so. He was hill upon the reserve, and the pres
sed him the more. Well, said he, since your Majesty
insists upon it, I must obey you. There are abun
dance of people who come out of the country every
fpfing to London, and they all naturally desire to fee
the King and Queen, and have not any opportunity
of feeing your Majesties so conveniently as at the cha
pel-royal; but these country folks, who are not used
to such things, when they fee your Majesty talking
with the King, almost all the time of divine service,
are perfectly astonished, and depart with strange im
pressions into their respective countries, and make their
reports there (let me tell you) not at all to your Ma
jesty's honour. lam sorry for it, replied the Queen ;
I believe there may be too much truth in what you
fay: But pray, Mr. Whifton, tell me of another fault.
No, Madam, said he, let me fee you mend this, be
fore I tell you of another.
