" No left than twenty seven Runa
way Husbands were advertised by
"vame lad week at Birmingham, by
the Clerk of the Vtftry; twenty-five
of them at one guinea each reward,
the two others at double that fum^—:
These gentlemen arc so kind as to
abscond, and leave the care of their
families to the overseers of the poor.—
All well meaning persons are request
ed to apprehend and fend these delin
quents to their lawful homes; but if

absenting-themselves."

Congress have come to no further
decisions on the fu^eCt of the Secre
tary's Report. The affamption of
State Debts was further di(cuffed this
day. Mr. Sedgwick advocated the
speech—he h lmuch thought on the
fubjeCt, and did great justice to it —
and from the aparent difpofitioa of
the Hofue, I anticipated a very cor
dial adoption of the Resolution ; But
Mr. Madison, after expressing in the
fulleft terms his approbation of the
idea as contained in the Secretary's
Report, proposed an amendment to
the Resolution, by adding a clanfe to
this effed—'-Provided, That the

beach tree, to his surprise, found the
cavity in the tree nearly filled with
the common barn fwallowa of this
country, in quantity (by his eftima.
-ten) nearly two barrels. They were
in a torpid state ; but carrying some
of those which were not injured by
the fall of the tree, near a fire, they
were presently reanimated by the
warmth, and took the wing with their

A number of writers, in the Jamai
ca papers, have stepped forward to
oppose the proceedings in England
for the annihilation of the SLAVE ±
TRADE. One of them, in an ad
dress to the Legislature of the Island
of J maica, makes use of the follow,
ing bold language—a language strik
ingly similar to that of our own coup
trymen, in 1775. Speaking of the
refolution# of the English Parliament,
he fays, " From these proceedings!
theßritilh nation fams to have acquir.
ed a new character; that of Tender,
nefs and Humanity. Jamaica was
fettled and the slave-trade eftablilhcu
under the faith of charters, and the
most eo'emn ads of government, how
then can one of our most essential
rights, and without the exercise of
which &e dwindle into infignificance,
be invaded at this time, without dis
solving the original compact? Any
force wll |bh deemed appreffive and
unjnft, which shall attempt, to inter,
rupt the Jamaica slave- trade, and the
King ofJamaica ought to be told so in
plain terms, that he may at once re
linquish his claims over us rather*than
punish ns without offence, and ruin
us with his ideas of Justice and huma

Mr. Avert, Representative from

his Britannick Majesty's Province of

did it, that he expected it would breed
a quarrel.

The Convention of this deluded

of Ma, next—then to meet at Newport
—And this too, after an acknowledg
ment on the part of Opposition of the
necessity of an adoption of the Conlti- -
tution of the U. States, and the dan.
ger to be dreaded from a rejection of
it. The question of an adjournment
to May was carried by a Majority of
Forty —and all the proceedings were
agreed upon in Nodurnal Conclaves
of the anti-members some evenings be„
fore the decision. This strange deri
ledion from ever, principle of honour
and interest, cannot fail to draw on
the majority of that Little State, the
execrations of every patriot and friend
to his country. • Nor can the strong
Arm of the Union fdffer its interest
to be hurt, by so insignificant a diftriX

" A veffela fails tomorrow morn

opportunity of announcing a decided
viftory, gained by the Patriots of

over an army of SOOO Imperialills,un

lit troops being kjlled 01 the spot,
the commander in chief, with the
general and field officers, were made
prisoners of war.
" This intelligence arrived since
dinner, by a Currier Extraordinary—
feveral letters have been received 10
the fame port, and it is confirmed by
the Bulletin of Breda, which is in the
neighbourhood. The regular Post
from Paris, will arrive to-morrow ;
and Ihould any accident delay the de
parture of the ship until the even
ing, I shall forward the particulars.
" From a printed detail of previ
ous hostilities, it appears that after
the affair at Turnhout, Major-Gene*
ral Schroeder, with 2500 men, war
reinforced by Gen. d'Arberg, with a
detachment of 4.000; and as Gen.
Dalton had reached the Imperial
Camp before this action, it is reason
able to suppose their numbers mull
have amounted to 8000 men— The
force of the Patriotic Party could not
have been lets than 12,000, of which
4. or 5,000 are said to be deferien ftom
the regular arm, of this country.
" The Patriotick General M. Van
Meerfen, has effectually secured the
independence of his country, by this
signal and unexpected victory. The
fuecefs of the Imperial arms, in the
East, had already begun to operate
on the minds of the firmeft Patriots
of Brabant— Without a hope of assist
ance from Pruffia —of refuge in Hol
land —or of Mercy at home—disunion
must have inevitably resulted from a
moment's reflection or delay; but
when a battle was unavoidable, des
peration in the Patriots fapplied the
place of jdifcipline (in which alone
their enemies could be supposed to
excel) and gave them freedom and
victory—when they only fought for'
life and fafety I
'' A report prevails, that the King
of Prussia has declared War against
Rullia—the pretext is to prevent the
expullion of the Turks out of Europe
and by the consequent acquisition of
political weight to the two Empires,
the unavoidable deftruCtion of the
prefect balance, which the fOrender
of Belgrade, and the fubfequeat pro
gress of the allied armies seem to
threaten—but of this hereafter. The
Poles are quiet ; but the calm cannot
exist in their present fate of resent
ment and pqwer." -
Mr. Russell,
YOU are requested to infer! the
following sentiments of a Sol
dier—they are not dressed in the lan
guage of an experienced writer ; it is
fimpie, and contains the situation of
him who wrote it, as well as the prin
cipal part of those who served in the
army.
No one can feel the weight of the
arguments for and against the diferi
mination,fo long debated in Congress
as those who are interred. Every
one knows the situation of the army
at the time it was disbanded —they
were without friends—and but one to
five hundred had parents or connexi
ons they could return to that would
support them, while the, could put
themselves in some kind of employ
ment. What, then mug be the al
ceraative ? They must dispose of
their ideal pay, or they must go hun
gry. What was the encouragement
when they offered their paper for sale?
That government would never be a
ble to pay it, and that it was not
worth more than zf. for zof.— This
was the language of all the purchas
ers. Law is on one fide of the questi
on, Humanity and Justice on the
other.
Now which had ought to influence?
The answer is easy, and the candid
may judge. It is grievous, that the
ver f ,CTM§ who were the inftru
rgents in railing the United States
from a fate of livery, to that of in
dependence and refpe&ability, Should
be the firft to be enslaved; and slaves
to th## Who in the whole Gourfe pf
From tbe CENTINEL,
the war, lived in case and Mluenc e
who knew not an hour's fafikkiag of
a soldier; who could retire to his bed
without anxiety, or dread of an alarm
—To those we have to pay 20s. taxes,
for that which cost only 2s.— It is no
torious that we fee the poor, emaciat
ed soldier, hungry and naked; in
many instances, (got from any mis,
conduct of their own, but mere mif
fortune) now wandering from one ex
treme part of the Continent to the
other— friendlefs and helpless; like
the jews; though not merited like
them, flattered to assemble no more,
until that trumpet founds that as
sembles nations, unfortunate men !
^hy fixation in life is deplorable^—
and thou art the only fuffeieh, by
that which ought to have been to th,
advantage—and thy being had ought
to have been that of envy, rather than
ridicule. But, thank God ! there
lives a Madison to propose justice ;
a Jackson to advocate ; -and ft
WASHINGTON to approve—The,
are thy friends, and thy profpe&s may
be more bright in future.
