TWO LIKELY
NEGRO MEN
RUN AWAY FROM THE SUB-SCRIBER,
Living in Mecklenburg county, Virginia:—
ONE of them named PETER, went off about five years ago; he is very black, tall and thin, and had many scars on his back, occasioned by whipping for running away before I had him—he could work a little at the hoe, basket, and collar-making bunnets: has very crooked limbs, and if alive is now about 35 years old. The other went off the 14th of December last, and took with him my horse, saddle, bridle and great coat—he is of a yellow complexion, middle sized, has a limp in his gait and walks with his toes turned inward—he has been my miller for several years, is very sensible and pollavering, and can read tolerably well—he was born near Williamsburg, and it is expected, he will make his way thither, or further to the northward, or, probably, 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 recorded in Mecklenburg county court.
The horse he took is a likely lay, about four feet eleven inches high, about nine years old, has the mark of some galls on his shoulders, steps very stately, holds his head high, especially when out of the bridle, his mane hangs on the wrong side. The saddle is country made and much worn. An old half-curb bridle. The great coat of drab colour, good cloth, with an old fashioned cape and a rent 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 described 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.

This will inform all those whom it may concern, and those who have any interest, claim or demand, in, or against the preemption right of Alexander M'Mund, located on the head of the South fork of Clear creek, in the county of Shelby; that I shall proceed to take the depositions of Capt. John Bailey and others at the said M'Mund's spring and improvement, where he now lives, on the second Friday in August next, in order to perpetuate testimony. 3t

MOATE , County of Westmeath, April 12.
On Monday last a mob, to the amount of two thousand persons, assembled at Fearbane, in this county, to oppose a ballot for Militia; a riot ensued, in which 6 of the rioters were killed, and a number wounded by the gentlemen of the county, who had assembled to support the laws—And on Thursday last (being the day appointed by the governors of the county, to ballot for the augmentation of the militia) a most daring mob assembled to oppose the ballot. Mr. Clibborn, a neighbouring magistrate, collected about seventy well armed men, and proceeded to support the governors. The mob demanded the ballot bag in order to burn it; Mr. Clibborn used every expostulation in vain to these deluded people, who cried, "No Tythes! No Militia!" and immediately fired a few shot, and threw a volley of stones. Capt. Drought received a wound in the face. Mr. Clibborn's party immediately fired (the distance about twenty yards) four were instantly killed, and many others are supposed to be sincerely wounded, from the tracks of blood which marked their flight, in the course of which they were met by three troops of Light Horse and two companies of the Donegal Militia, who killed six and wounded several. There twenty-five prisoners taken, several of whom are in a deplorable situation.
EXETER , April 4.
Early yesterday morning a large, and seemingly a well planned mob, assembled in the neighbourhood of Chudleigh, and scoured the country for several miles around, during which time they totally demolished two mills, and were constantly crying out, "We cannot starve!"—From the great number of peticosats, it is generally supposed that several men were dressed in female attire. It was near four o'clock in the afternoon, before the least symptom of separation appeared, and then it was through the appearance of the High Sheriff, some gentleman of the neighbourhood, and a small party of the Cornwall Militia, under the command of a subaltern, who was much abused by the mob. The Sheriff succeeded in securing one man, who appeared rather active on the occasion: a rescue was often threatened.
At the same time a mob assembled at Crediton, a few miles from hence, which, from its immediate rising, seemed likely to turn out more serious, as it was constantly increasing, and some threatening language was made use of. So much so, that an express arrived here from the above place, and a troop of the Devonshire Fencible Cavalry under the command of Sir Stafford Northcote, and a detachment from the 25th Light Dragoons, immediately set out, and happily arrived time enough to prevent mischief. The troops returned late last night with two women and one man, as prisoners; the whole regiment has been out the whole day, in readiness to march at the shortest notice. The whole country is in a state of ferment, and general murmurings seem much to prevail, entirely owing to the scarcity of provisions.
The Exeter Volunteers assembled yesterday, for the purpose of being ready to march on the shortest notice.
PORTSMOUTH , April 13.
The magistrates have taken measures for preventing further depredations by the mob which assembled on Saturday last; but it is feared that nothing short of a reduction in the high price of provisions will so far satisfy them as to make them perfectly quiet.
April 14.
Yesterday evening an immense concourse of people, to the amount of several thousands, assembled in the town of Portsea, and began to carry their design of demanding provisions at a reduced price into execution. The military beat to arms, and remained so in the barracks till near twelve o'clock at night. Three hundred constables who had been made in the day, for the occasion, entered amongst the people, and after receiving some opposition, the crowd were prevailed upon to disperse; but it was not until a late hour that the town was restored to tranquility. We are apprehensive that it is not over. Several towns in this neighbourhood are in the same agitated situation. And though the people might be quieted for a season, nothing short of a very considerable reduction in the price of provisions can pacify them.
BELFAST , April 17.
On Monday afternoon last a very unfortunate affair took place at Caledon, of which the following is the true substance:
As a party of the Cork Militia were conveying a prisoner from Ballyshannon to Lifford gaol, a scuffle ensued between them and the people assembled at the fair which is annually held on that day in Cattlelin; and a stone having been thrown at the militia by some unthinking boy, they instantly began a running fire on the unsuspecting multitude, who fled in all directions, when one young woman, sitting at a window upstairs, and a young man in the street, were shot dead, three were mortally wounded, and fourteen or fifteen others wounded in different degrees.
DUBLIN , April 9.
A most numerous and respectable meeting of the Catholics of Dublin was this day held at Francis-street chapel, to receive the report of their delegates, and discuss other business relative to the entire emancipation of the Catholics of Ireland.
The scholars &c. of our university waited on Mr. Grattan with an address, expressive of the approbation of his firm and decided endeavours in the cause of Irish independence.
It must give infinite pleasure to every Irishman to observe, that not a single corporate body, grand jury, or county in the kingdom, the corporation of Dublin excepted, has been yet seduced into any resolution or declaration against the administration of earl Fitzwilliams and the uniting the people in one common bond of interest, neither threats, promises nor bribes (all of which have been already practised) have been able to procure this act of degradation among Irishmen, now happily (thanks to Mr. Pitt and the British cabinet) a nation of Irishmen united.
