His Excellency Governor Clinton has been
pleased to iffae h's proclamation, offering a re
ward of One Thouftnd Dollars for app, ehenuing
and bringing to ju(bee certain incenJuries, who
have lately attempted to fee fire to the city ; also
the like reward, and a full pardon to any accom
plice in this nefarious bufineb, who will difeover
the Principal or Principals.
A gentleman who favours the public with h’s
remarks on the means of promoting loederai sen
timents in the United States, makes this ap
peal :
“ Every part of this federa' empire was gained
by the sword, by ilirefs, and fl ughre,——.ne
land, from Georgia, to New Hamph'rc, has
drank American b lOOd— he bio id m<u us
of the western foreds have tern many bares irnn
the mother’s breast, many wives from the arm oi
husbands, scalped a J burned them in Dueling
fires. Want American cm without norror, in
dignation and g : 'ief, reflect that a fatal diu iion
may basely throw under <ore ga dominion, the
plains of Saratoga, York-Town, or
the Cowiens. Here methinks I lee every
sordid wr tch hide nis bead, and every braVc
American clap his hand to his sword,
AND SWEAR BY THE ASHES OF ALL THEIR
fellow soldiers, a id by their own noble hearts,
IT SHALL NOT BE.”
Extract of a letter from Charlfm, dated Aagufi 22 .
“ A tew days ago, a negro man (who had a
wife and children in town) was let up for faL ;
but not liking the man w 10 appeared the molt
anxious to have iiim, and who was a countryman,
he made an objection to him, and declared he
would not go in the country from his wife and
children.— They paid no attention to his objec
tions, but soon fold him to the countryman, who
immediately sent him on board of a boat
boon after, they left the wharf, when the negro
p'unged overboard, and endeavoured to get under
the boat, but was prevented, though with great
difficulty, by thole on board, and brought into
the boat again; bur before they could tie him,
he leaped over the second time, and would have
loon buried himfelf in the watery element, had
not a boat from shore prevented him. When he
was taken on board again, and tied, he Hill per
fided in his determined resolution of putting an
end to his life, the firft opportunity; and proba
bly ’ere this, he has fought that relief in death,
which li ee, when feparatedfrom all be held dear.
Could not afford him. due i are the vruenies,
among innumerable others, th it Afric’s ions ex

make barbarity herfolf recoil to hear related.

and at the fame time illy adapted to the raising of

either to New-York or Philadelphia, or to m< io dis

of small importance, especially as there are few mill
