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 slim, and had many scars on his back, occasioned 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 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 seven years, is very sensible and pollaverling, 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 bay, 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.

ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO GRAND FLEETS, Which met on the 30th instant, in Old Palace Yard, Westminster.
THE two fleets came in sight of each other about 5 P. M. on the 30th instant; and the Congreve , Capt. Sheridan , having stretched ahead, in order to get to windward of the Royalist , Capt. Dundas , a smart firing commenced near Habeas Corpus shore. In this conflict, Capt. Fox of the Thunderer , seeing the advantage visible on the side of the Royalist , bore down to second the Congreve . This drew the Solicitor , Capt. Scott , out of the line, and she bore down so hard to second the Royalist , that the Thunderer thought it necessary to lie along side of her, and they fought yard arm to yard arm for a few minutes, when the Invincible , Admiral Pitt , bearing down and pouring a broad side into the Thunderer , that ship found it necessary to haul her wind and get out of the line, in which example she was followed by the Congreve , and in a short time the two fleets re-assumed their former stations.
The enemy, in the retreat, fired her stern chase guns at the Royalist and Invincible , but were at too great a distance to do any execution—Admiral Pitt now seeing a favorable opportunity, threw out a signal for a general engagement, and the Sir Edward , Capt. Knatchbull , seconded by the Orator , Capt. Canning , being on the van, commenced the action. The Negro's Friend , Capt. Wilberforce , lately captured by the enemy, and the County of York , Capt. Duncomb , another of the British Constitutional line, taken at the same time, engaged the Orator and Sir Edward ; the conflict was well maintained on both sides, until Capt. Windham , in the Constitution , pouring a broadside into the Negro's Friend , the latter crowded all the sail she could, being much crippled in her masts and rigging.
The engagement by this time had become pretty general, and the vast superiority of the British Constitutional fleet, enabling them to gain the victory at very little hazard, the Invincible , with the whole of the van, broke through the enemy's centre, and throwing them into confusion, they endeavored to make good their retreat by various manoeuvres, while the Thunderer attempted to cover them by lying along side the Invincible ; but the metal of the Invincible being too powerful and well pointed, and several broadsides having damaged the Thunderer's upper decks, she made her escape into Brooke's harbour, under cover of the night, and the rest of the fleet being dispersed, many of them run aground and were totally lost.
During the action, the rear division of our fleet, commanded by Admiral Grenville , in the Conqueror , fell in with the rear division of the enemy's fleet, under the command of Admiral Lauderdale , in the Malagrida , when a smart action commenced, in which one of the enemy's ships, the Fury , Capt. Lauderdale , was dismasted by a broadside from the Conqueror , and obliged to be towed into harbor. The Conqueror , on this occasion, performed wonders; she progressively attacked the enemy's line, ship by ship, and being seconded by the Briton , Capt. Spencer , to whose courage and skill too much praise cannot be given, the enemy found it necessary to crowd all the sail they could, and endeavor to make good their retreat. This, by the assistance of the night, they effected, but not without considerable damage, the Thunder-and-Lightning frigate, Capt. Stanhope , having struck
against the Constitutional Rocks , and foundered, and the Bedford , Capt. Russel , having lost her main mast and rudder.
The complete triumph of the British Constitutional fleets, in these memorable engagements, it is hoped, will make this sessional campaign a victorious one throughout. Indeed the enemy are so weak, and our fleet so strong, that it is impossible they can ever make a motion on the seas, with the most distant hope of success, as we are in the point of numbers, above four to one against them, our fleets making 353 sail, whilst they can only count 86.
DUBLIN, February 27.
With reluctance we announce the report of a misfortune as sudden and unexpected as ever agitated the public mind—no less than the premature recall of the most popular chief governor of this country was ever favored with, and the consequent removal of the men who possessed and deserved the confidence of the people. This measure so calculated to depress the spirit of the nation, it is difficult to account for! Lately there was to hope, that the hitherto ill-fated inhabitants of this country would be shortly relieved from the grievances they laboured under. The government proposed most salutary measures, and Parliament seemed inclined to adopt them; in the interim a vote is passed for an enormous sum of money to carry on the war. That being obtained, measures, it is said, were proposed to his excellency, which excited his indignation, and, of course, his resignation.
This business has caused a general alarm and despondency; so great was the public expectation on the happy effects of his lordship's wise and well intentioned government, supported by men whose time tried and patriotic energy has long gained them the confidence of the country.
*Earl Fitzwilliams.
From the AURORA.
The following is some account of the new mode of TANNING.
The new method of tanning is founded on an accurate knowledge of the nature of skins, and of the materials which tan them. It consists in letting the skins lie several days in a solution of bark deprived of its tan, and slightly acidulated with sulphurous acid; that substance which causes the hair to adhere to the skin is thus burnt up, and the hair therefore comes off easily; the skins softened and swollen in this preparation, are then taken out, and afterwards suspended in solutions more or less impregnated with tan. In a few days, and in about fifteen days for the strongest skins, this substance penetrates in layers into the centre of the skins, combines itself with the animal substance, and gives it by saturation, that character which results putrefaction, and, at the same time, sufficient solidity to make it fit to make shoes. This method of Seguin's has a triple advantage; first, it is the most expeditious mode of tanning, secondly less expensive, and lastly, more complete than any other method, as it gives the highest degree of solidity to leather which the tan can communicate; and on comparison, hides thus tanned have been found to exceed the dressed skins of any other country whatsoever.
The quickness of this method is such, that by taking the proper precautions, calf skins may be tanned in two days, and the strongest ox hides in ten or fifteen days. This new method has also the advantage of rendering in the process, the use of barley wholly unnecessary, of which all tanners have hitherto consumed a very great quantity. A large capital is also unnecessary; and remote forests may be turned to advantage, by
barking and separating from the bark that matter which is the principle of tan, upon the very spot; thus reducing the necessary part of the bark to a very small weight, and consequently much diminishing the expence of the carriage. The simplicity of the whole operation is such, that any private man may tan hides for his own consumption, with more facility than a common professed tan-ner.
Lexington, June 20.
The information published in our last, of the Indians having taken three prisoners from Mrs. Hite's plantation in Jefferson county, we are happy in having it in our power to contradict. It arose from a negro girl being missing, who had left herself in the woods, which gave an alarm, and our informant who was at Doct. Warfield's when an express came there for men to pursue the Indians, who it was supposed had taken the girl, and he said that three (instead of one ) was taken.—The girl was since brought in by some surveyors.
FELLOW CITIZENS,
COMPELLED by the most weighty considerations which could influence a human creature, to lay a few observations before you, at a time when to appearance I have not an equal and fair chance, but to the dispassionate and feeling part of mankind, I need only observe, that my life and character, are the all important objects before my countrymen. I have surrendered myself prisoner to Maj. William Campbell and Mr. William M. Bledsoe, to answer every charge that may be brought against me; and in particular the charge at the court of Oyer. These gentlemen, I hope, have honor enough not to receive any reward on the delivery of my person.
At a time like this public opinion, and clamour, will have its weight with fame, but of all things for equity, and no more; and if nothing but my life will satisfy the public mind, or laws of my country, I must die; for leave, or fly my country, I never will.
I think it my duty to offer my reasons for standing out as long as I have, against the laws and dignity of this State. The length of time from my confinement to the court, and my not being bailed; and the loathsomeness of the jail, were my reasons for breaking: And withall I thought by not being precipitated into trial the truth of the charge would be more fully matured. The situation of the court since in not having any attorney to appear for the Commonwealth, or appointed at too short a period would probably be offered to put off the business, and so I should have to be confined from court to court in that filthy and loathsome place.
These are and were, in short, my reasons. And as to those worthy gentlemen of Madison and Lincoln county, who so uniformly pursued me; if the thanks of one in my situation could confer honors for their firmness, for the execution of the laws of this State; I would give them my most grateful acknowledgements; and if I am hurried from the land of the living, I hope it will remain a monument of their honor and honesty.
Deeply sensible of my own situation, I come forward, to confess what is truth, in my charges; and to my expiring moments deny what is false, and hope and beg of my country, a fair and impartial trial.
And to God who rules all things I submit the event of my case.
I am, fellow citizens, With real attachment, Your prisoner. THOMAS KENNEDY.
June 12, 1795.
N. B. As I am to be confined in jail until the next sitting of the court of Oyer, I hope this will be taken as notice to prepare for trial by the State's attorney.

LEXINGTON, June 17, 1795.

INNIS B. BRENT, P. G.

And the said Kelly (as I have understood) having since died, and his representatives or those in possession of said bond being unknown to me; I do hereby request any person holding the said bond and entitled to receive a conveyance of the land therein expressed, to produce the same and receive a conveyance, which I now am, and for a long time have been ready and desirous to make.

Lexington, May 4.
PUBLIC NOTICE,
THAT on the 11th day of August 1793, I, in partnership with ROBERT JOHNSON, located the quantity of ten thousand six hundred sixty two and an half acres of land in the county of Mason on the waters of Ohio, beginning at a creek about one mile from the mouth, where said creek is eight or ten yards wide at the mouth, being the first creek of that size below a tree on the bank of Ohio marked IS and IT, and 1732, there are 400 poles, and from the beginning north 80 West 120 poles, thence to extend Southwardly at right angles for quantity. Which said creek is Lawrence's creek emptying in about six miles below the mouth of Limestone. And whereas, on the 27th of January 1789, I caused a survey to be made on said entry, and have since obtained a patent therefor, and have purchased of said Johnson his proportion thereof; and whereas the tellinchy respecting the said marked tree, (and the lines) depend on persons now living—in order to perpetuate their testimony, I procured from the county court of Mason at their last term, an order appointing commissioners to examine and take the depositions of such persons as I might judge proper, by virtue of an act of the last session of assembly, entitled "An act to ascertain the boundaries of lands and for other purposes."—All whom it may concern are therefore desired to
TAKEN NOTICE,

NOTICE is hereby given, THAT I forewarn all persons from taking an assignment of a bond which I gave to George Taylor, Richard Malterson and Richard Shores, for the amount of 2251. payable the first of next June, and dated the 16th of October, 1793. For I am determined not to pay said bond until they comply with their contract with me.

NOTICE , is hereby given, To all persons whom it may concern,
THAT having legally purchased of Holt Richardson, two Military entries, of one thousand acres each—one lying in the fork of the first fork of Licking; the other lying in the first of the middle fork of Licking. That receipts are in my possession for the purchase money, and Mr. Richardson's bond, in the penalty of one thousand pounds, conditioned for the conveyance of said lands together with a lawful power of attorney to Maj. John Cook of Campbell county, vesting him with power to convey said lands. And whereas by a publication in Mr. Bradford's paper of the 6th of April last, a certain Thomas Carneal Esq. of Fayette county assumes a power of acting under an authority derived from said Richardson, and has undertaken to declare that the powers vested in Maj. Cooke were fraudulently obtained. I therefore forewarn all persons from purchasing any part of said land, as the power vested in Mr. Carneal, was, it is to be feared, sought after and accepted by him with a fraudulent intention, he having a knowledge of the purchase made by me prior to his leaving Kentucky last year.
