*6 T 7HEREAS since the return of the fubferiber from New.-
VV York and Amboy, he is informed that some ill
difpofed malicious persons, in his absence, with a view to in
jure his character, have reported he had made his escape
from Philadelphia, in order, as well to evade being brought
to open and condign punishment, and to avoid the public
resentment on account of the escape made by a certain Moses
Kirkland from the New-Jail of this city and county some
time pad, as to avoid being impeached by a certain Arthur
Thomas, who was lately confined in the said jail. These are
therefore to inform those slanderers that he is now returned
to Philadelphia, from whence he went on business in virtue
of a pass or permit from the proper officer ; and, injustice to
his character, calls in this public manner on those persons
and their abettors to make good their malicious charges, if
any cause they have, ingenuously assuring such scoundrels,
and every of them, that as soon as he shall be able to trace
the report so as to fix it, with any justice on any re.
porter or reporters thereof, or their abettors, he will admi
nister to him and them that tffeful remedy, the just demerit
of malicious dander, the discipline of the whip in ample
portion.THOMAS DEWEES.
