ROHRHT BALLARD.
\ HEREAS a repoit has been propa
gut-ed, much to the pl'c'jlldlce Os
cnpt. Robert Ballurd, that he lms made
usc Of the suldicrs money under his cum
mand, and is indebted to them for their
Wagcs, to the amount of 6 or 7ool. I
take this method to insorm the publick,
that such reports are entirely false and
groundlcss, as it appears, upon examina
tion, that capt. Ballard has pundsitually
paid his suldicrs, and now has theirreceipts
in full, with a balance in his ssizvour, and
that they are well satisfied in every parti
cular with him.
