TWO LIKELY NEGRO MEN RUN AWAY FROM THE SUB- SCRIBER,
Living in Mecklenburg county, Vir- ginia:—
ONE of them named PETER, went off about five years ago; he is very black, tall and slim, and had many scars on his back, occa- sioned by whipping for running away before I had him—he could work a little at the shoe, basket, and collar-making business: has very crooked shins, and if alive is now about 35 years old. The o- ther went off the 14th of Decem- ber last, and took with him my horse, saddle, bridle and great coat—he is of a yellow complex- ion, middle sized, has a limp in his gait and walks with his toes turn- ed inward—he has been my miller for several years, is very sensible and pollaverling, and can read tol- erably well—he was born near Williamsburg, and it is expected, he will make his way thither, or further to the northward, or, pro- bably, over the mountains to the westward—his name is DAVY, but it is expected he will change it to BOB, or to MICAJAH FENDLY, having as some suppose, stolen said Fendly's freedom pass, which is re- corded in Mecklenburg county court.
The horse he took is a likely bay, about four feet eleven inches high, about nine years old, has the mark of some galls on his should- ers, steps very stately, holds his head high, especially when out of the bridle, his mane hangs on the wrong side. The saddle is coun- try made and much worn. An old half-curb bridle. The great coat of drab colour, good even with an old fashioned cape and a tippet on the right side. He had on a good black velvet waistcoat and breeches, and other clothes of good Virginia cloth.
Whoever secures the above de- scribed men and goods or either of them, so that I get them again, shall receive a liberal reward. Henry Speed. Mecklenburg county, Virginia, 15th January 1795.
P. S. If either of the above Negroes should be taken up and delivered to me near Danville, I will pay the reward. James Speed. Mercer, Kentucky, 20th May, 1795. 14t
TAKEN up by the subscriber, living on the Hanging Fork of Dick's river, Lincoln county, a sorrel HORSE, fourteen hands three inches high, about fifteen years old, branded on the near side of the jaw S, has a star and snip, both hind feet white, and has sev- eral saddle spots, a natural trotter; appraised to 81. John Crawford. January 3.
SAMUEL AYRES. RESPECTFULLY informs his friends and the public in ge- neral that he has removed his shop higher up on Main street, next door above Mr. Moore's, and nearly op- posite the Free Mason's lodge, where he still continues to make and repair all kinds of Gold and Silver work and repair watches in the neatest and best manner. All those who please to favor him with their custom, may depend on ha- ving their work done as expediti- ous as the time and nature of the business will admit. Lexington, February 28.
LONDON, February 27. Letters from Hanover state that the military requisitions at Hano- ver were never carried to such an extent as at present.—Every indi- vidual able to bear arms is sum- moned to appear.
A fresh dismemberment of Po- land is talked of in Prussia. Ru- ssia, they say is to have all Lithua- nia; Austria, Lublia, and part of the Woywodship of Sandomir; and Prussia, all those districts which it conquered. The rest of Poland is to remain in the Republic, but that only during the life of the king.
The accounts from Poland are most shocking. Such have been the devastations of the Russian and Prussian arms, that the miserable remnants of the Peasantry, after endeavoring to protract life by mixing bark with their scanty pit- tance of meal, are dying in their cottages, by the road sides, and in their fields for want of food.
In Germany beyond the Rhine, provisions are so scarce that the Peasants are unable to procure a sufficiency of black bread. Gen. Clairfayt has been obliged, for want of subsistence, to make a con- siderable part of the troops under his command fall back from the Rhine. Such are the miseries of war—pity they are not as severe- ly felt in the cabinet as in the cot- tage.
BOSTON, April 23.
FRENCH FLEET in the WEST INDIES.
Capt. Bacon arrived here yester- day, in a short passage from Martin- ique, and brings intelligence, that before he left that island, a French fleet of six sail of the line, and five frigates, had arrived at Guada- loupe. He farther informs, that he afterwards spoke a vessel from Antigua, the captain of which as- sured him that the same intelli- gence was received and credited at that port.
AN AMERICAN CAPTIVE. Who, for ten years past, has been confined in durand ville at Algiers, arrived yesterday afternoon in the brig Minerva, from Cadiz. He was the mate of a schooner, be-
longing to Mr. William Foster, of this town; and was ransomed by his friends, at the price of 3000 dollars. We cordially congratu- late him on his safe return to his native country; and sincerely hope that his recent companions in mis- ery will speedily participate his happy emancipation.
FROM SPAIN. Capt. Hart, in 40 days from Ca- diz, informs us, that a serious riot took place at Madrid, the capital of Spain, on the 24th of February last; which was, however, quelled by government. Fourteen of the mob were killed, and 400 confin- ed in prison. The object of the rioters was not mentioned. He adds, that before he sailed, infor- mation was received at Cadiz, of the French having taken Figueras and Roses, that Gironne, Barcelo- na and Villercho were besieged, and expected to fall a sacrifice ev- ery day; after which the capital Madrid, would be the next in the routine of conquest.
FROM ST. LUCIA, we learn, that the planters of that island have all fled, and left their property at the disposal of the French. Several of these distress- ed exiles came passengers in the schooner Hannah, bound to Ken- nebunk—(vide marine news.)
NEW-YORK, April 29. Captain M'Intire, of the sloop Delia, which arrived yesterday from St. Martins, and left there the 11th inst. informs, that St. Martins was taken possession of by the French and Dutch Patriots, on Sunday the 3d inst. the French flag flying at Marygatt, and the Dutch and French at Great Bay.
Information, had been received at St. Martins, that a British 64 and three frigates had anchored in Statia road, and demanded the Is- land in the name of the ci-devant Stadtholder; which was refused by the governor, who declared the island should be delivered up to no nation, whatever until he had re- ceived official information from Holland.
While the abovementioned squa- dron were lying before Statia, in- formation was received of the French having made a descent up- on Tortula, and were in possession of the whole island except one fort. In consequence of which the three frigates were sent off for its relief. Capt. M'Intire, was also at St. Bar- tholomews, where an American vessel arrived direct from Martin- ico, which gave information of the arrival of a British fleet of five sail of the line, with near 6000 troops on board.
The French at St. Bartholomews, informed Captain M'Intire, that the islands of St. Lucia, and St. Vincent's were in possession of the French, & wished him to proceed to either of those islands, with his cargo, with the positive assurance of a good price & prompt payment.

We hear that several hundred cases, packages, &c. have been landed in this city, the property of our late minister plenipotentiary at Paris, brought by the last vessels from Havre-de-Grace. From this circumstance, it is conjectured that, like the avant resident from a sister republic to the United States, he has done something for himself. If similar attentions have been paid to the common interests of our country, there can be no doubt but great things have likewise been achieved for the benefit of the community in general.
PHILADELPHIA, April 18. Extract of a letter received per capt. Green from a gentleman in St. Eustatia, dated April 1.
The English have declared war against the Dutch, and have granted letters of marque and reprisals; one who has already produced her commission at St. Kitts. The Dutch have acknowledged the sovereignty of the French, granted one and a half million sterling to prosecute the war, to supply large quantities of clothing for the army, and to fit out thirty two sail of the line, and nine frigates.
The negroes have retaken St. Lucia, except the fort of Morne Forcune, taken Grenada, except Richmond hill and town, have risen in a body at St. Vincents, and are fighting here in a dreadful manner; and in neither of the English or Dutch islands do the inhabitants go to bed without the fear of death before morning. Such is the present situation of these colonies, & you must be persuaded the prospect is not very tempting to risk property at present. All those who had goods here last week, removed to St. Thomas and St. Bartholomews, fearing the attack of the French, and this week we are expecting the attack of the English. Yesterday an English frigate was here, and it was supposed she came to demand the island.
May 2. The following is the statement of the ships of war now building, and of the whole French navy:
At L'Orient a ship of 80 guns, two of 74, and four frigates.
At Rochfort, a three decker, one of 80, one of 74, and some frigates.
Total, 11 vessels of the line. Which being joined to the 35 now at sea, will form a naval force of 46 ships of the line, and the number of frigates is reckoned at 75.
Toulon will have 21 vessels of the line.
Total general, 67 sail of the line.
In the Brest fleet failed the 31st December, the Rouex , a 74, arrived from Rochfort, replaced the Republican. Admiral Vantable, who commanded the navy at Ostend, and conveyed last year the fleet from America, commands a division.
On the 9th of February, 1795, died at Madrid, William Carmichael Esquire , late Charge des Affairs, and one of the Commissioners Plenipotentiary from the United States of America to the court of Spain.
Lexington, May 30.
Reply of the French Ambassador, To the speech addressed to his excellency Mr. Barthelemy, Ambassador of the French Republic in Switzerland, by Chancellor Ochs, in presence of the Secret Council, and in the name of the State of Bale, January 22, 1795. [Inserted in our last.]
MAGNIFICENT LORDS, I receive with so much the more gratitude and sensibility, the expressions of sentiments you please to bestow upon me, as I have already the knowledge of your affectionate friendship in my behalf,
the same as I hope you have, that of my desire of serving you and my constant solicitude for your concerns. It will be still more animated, Magnificent Lords, thro' my stay in your town. The nearer I am to you, the more I will endeavor to draw upon you the attention of the French Republic.
Since I lived in your country, circumstances singularly difficult have circumvented the laudable Helvetic Body; but the profound wisdom which has characterised all its steps, has made them hitherto surmount those very difficulties: and certainly, by persevering in these principles, it will continue to enjoy the calm of peace, until the happy period, which will restore it to the universe: and they will attain it under the blessings of the worthy people they govern, with the confidence and due consideration of the French nation, and of all Europe; and with the certainty that posterity will admire the behaviour they held in these critical times, and while so many means have been employed to make the Cantons depart from the maxims which they inherited from their ancestors, the prudence of which is confirmed by the experience of ages.
Your state will have so much the more right to share in the triumphs as it has not only shared with its co-allies all the dangers of the present epoch, but that it has, moreover, been exposed to private uneasiness. It ought to be well assured of having acquired with them indelible claims to the continuance of the friendship of the French Republic. I esteem myself happy, Magnificent Lords, in being at this moment its organ with you, and in being able to transmit to the committee of public welfare of the National Convention, the expressions of your confederated attachment, and the wishes you utter for the prosperity of the French people, who will always be your most faithful ally.
THE HOSTAGES. Prince Philip, the 2nd, son of the prince of Hesse Flammberg, & the prince Weid, were both taken prisoners at Slayce, in Dutch Flanders. They removed to Paris, and are confined in the palace of the Luxemburg, where they are to remain as hostages for French General Buononville, and the three National Deputies, whom Dumourier formerly delivered up to the Austrians.
BRITISH ARMY. Erfaburg, Feb. 13.
Our head-quarters are now at this place, and it is the earnest wish of every one, that we may now have a little rest. The sufferings and loss of our army have been dreadful. When we began our retreat the number of British only, was upwards of 13 000, but now the whole return of effective men do not amount to half that number. In the march from Amersfort alone, upwards of 3000 soldiers were frozen to death, besides women and children. In one of our marches during the night over a large frozen morass, where an accident obliged me to remain behind the army for near an hour, my only direction, when the dawn came, to point out the route the army had taken, was the miserable victims that were lying every where, dead or dying in the road the army had marched.
In short, no defeat could have had more disastrous consequences than this unfortunate retreat was attended with. Had our distresses proceeded from the enemy, they would have been more sufferable, but we owe them to the cowardice of our allies, and to other causes which it is unnecessary to enter into at present. The officers have suffered but little compared with the men, for famine and cold were the forms in which death attacked
us, and these the officers could in some measure guard against.
At the moment I am writing this letter, no certain accounts have been received where the brigade, commanded by lord Cathcart is, or what route it has taken.
Our loss in stores is beyond all credibility: would to God that were our only loss! The quantity of every description destroyed at Helvoetsluys, Rotterdam, Dordrecht and Deventer, exceed all calculation. At the latter place, only during the two days the guards were there, 12,000 stand of arms were destroyed, intrenching tools innumerable, about 50,000 cwt. of powder, some millions of muskets and ammunition, and two gun carriages, besides a number of guns, which were spiked and left behind. At Dordrecht, it is thought about twenty times the quantity were destroyed.
INDIAN NEWS.
On Monday last, the Indians fired on the Ohio Packet Boat, near the three islands, and wounded 4 men out of 5 that were on board, two of whom, we learn have since died of their wounds. The day following they fired on a family boat, shot twelve balls into the side of the boat, and killed a horse on board.
Yesterday, Daniel Boyd was executed in this town for murder, agreeably to the sentence of the court of Oyer and Terminer at their last session.
On MODERN HEROES. OUR rights with ease we may defend,
Whilst heroes are so plenty; ; For if ye dare my lads offend, A challenge straight is sent ye. To push and Par them is your lot, A sport they much delight in; Or through the body to be shot, Their modish way of fighting. If this be courage, let me hun The martial road to fame; And never through the guts be run, To 'mor-talize my name.

RUN AWAY FROM THE SUBSCRIBER, On Wednesday night, the 8th inst.
A Mulatto Man Slave, named JAMES, and sometimes calls himself JAMES MEALS, has a comely countenance, a soft voice and speaks fluently, a very sensible fellow and can read and write; he is about five feet eight or nine inches high, well proportioned, & when he walks or stands his toes turn out. He carried with him as well as I can ascertain, the following clothes: one short jacket and breeches of fustian linsy, dyed brown, pretty much worn; two coarse shirts, two or three white shirts, two of which are ruined at the bosom, one blue cloth coat, one pair jeans breeches of an olive colour, one pair of white yarn stockings, one pair of old buck-skin overalls, one pair of shoes, and one pair of new deer-skin moccasins, he has taken other clothes that I cannot describe. James is fond of playing on the fiddle, and generally when playing inclines his head to one side. His transgressions had caused him a severe whipping ten days preceding his elopement, the scars of which will be evident upon examination; it is probable a small sore or scar may be discovered on the point of his left elbow, as he not long since received a stroke thereon in an affray. A reward of Ten Dollars will be given for the above described slave, if secured in any jail so that I can get him; Twenty-five if taken within the state and brought to my house on North Elkhorn, in Woodford county, about four miles from Frankfort, or Fifty Dollars if taken out of the state and delivered to Harry Innes.

BY YESTERDAY'S MAIL. LONDON, March 11.
The last letters from Switzerland state, that all the French emigrants, residing in that country, have been ordered to remove to the distance of fifteen leagues from the frontiers of France.
An event, we understand, has occurred, which every person must have been prepared to expect—the King Prussia has, it is said, actually concluded a treaty of peace with the French Republic—The glory and happiness of fighting for morality, religion, justice, humanity, good government and civilized society, have thus developed upon Great Britain and the emperor or Germany.
A droll requisition was made in Holland, for—2000 cats to be put into the corn stores to prevent the havock made by rats and mice.
March 13.
The accounts in the German papers mention the march of 20,000 Prussians, under the command of Marshal Mollendorff, from the Upper Rhine towards Westphalia to join the Hanoverian army under General Walmoden. This however ought not to be considered as a contradiction of the fact we have already stated, of peace having been concluded between France and Prussia; for these were ordered as cautionary movements, in case of a failure in the negotiation, that, be the result what it might, his Prussian majesty might be ready to act according to circumstances. Be not surprised, therefore, ye sticklers for Prussian honor, if you should soon hear of the troops who were so lately fed and paid by a British subsidy, having joined the French to attack Hanover.
We have stated that the king of Prussia had actually concluded a peace with the French Republic. Private letters received by the mail yesterday from Germany say, that it was expected to be publicly announced on the 15th inst.
