A Negro Man, named WILL; Aged about 30 years, dark complexion, has a long chin, when he talks or laughs shews his teeth, is 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, well made, is an artful, cunning fellow—Had on, when he went away, a grey coat much worn, brown waistcoat, and a drab-colored striped pair of short breeches, a dark grey pair of stockings, old shoes and hat.
I purchased him from Mr. Charles Bennet, senior, of Loudoun county, and it is probable he may change his name—He has lived in Alex- andria, is well acquainted about the town, and I do not doubt but he will be harbored by some of his acquaintances. If the said Negro is taken within the district of Columbia, or in Fairfax county, I will give TEN DOLLARS; if 30 miles from home, FIFTEEN DOLLARS; if 60 miles, TWENTY DOLLARS; and, if tak- en up in Pennsylvania, FORTY DOLLARS.— Whoever takes up the said Negro and confines him in any jail, shall receive the above reward.

RESIDENTS of Fairfax County in particular, and the PUBLIC in general.
[Concluded.]
Contrast. George Summers, in answer to one application for the payment of the above tobacco, writes,
Sir—Inclosed I send you a copy of Col. Mason's account; for it is by no means convenient for me to go there at present; for my embarrassments will not admit of my paying all my creditors at this present time, therefore must pay such merciless creditors that neither have patience nor friendship to wait with debtors that is in indigent circumstances.
In another subsequent letter he says— I have a light hhd. of tobacco of 746 lbs. which is to be reprized against Friday, and if you can refer going down to-morrow I will go on Friday with you, if agreeable. As Col. Mason owes you, you can discount my balance and receive my hhd. and give me credit for the balance, after paying him. Please let me know whether you go to-morrow or Friday, &c.
I did go on Friday, and received the hhd. referred to. He then owed me other monies (no tobacco due George Summers, heard of) nor was I from November, '86, to this day, ever indebted to him one cent, or pound of tobacco, except to give him credit at times; but at his second request I credited the whole of the hhd. above alluded to, in cash, at the price, and left the tobacco due Col. Mason's estate still unsettled—George Summers promising to pay shortly after, and subsequent to 1778, he hath acknowledged again, after the answer aforesaid, that he had not paid me, and gave me from under his hand to pay it on demand, and which I have now in my possession.
4th. Your orator further sheweth to your worships, that on or about the 4th day of November, 1606, your orator paid to the defendant, in a settlement that day made between them, the amount of an execution, which your orator had received from Thomas Simmonds, and which was due Samuel Baily, which was to be immediately settled with said Baily by the defendant, as he then alleged that Baily owed the money to him. In May, 1791, your orator was called on by said Baily for said execution money, and informed your orator that the defendant had not paid him a farthing of it, at which time, in a settlement between your orator and said Baily, your orator paid 23s. 9d. in part of said debt. Your orator called on the defendant and enquired why he had not paid said Baily, who made some excuse, but again promised to settle the balance. Whether he has done so yet, or not, your orator doth not know. If he has not, your orator conceives and prays that he may be deemed to pay the same to him. As your orator is liable to said Baily, and hath not received a discharge therefrom.
Answer. This defendant denies the plaintiff hath made him any satisfaction for Baily's execution or any part thereof as is alleged by the plaintiff.
Question by plaintiff. What conversation have you had with, or passed between you and the defendant on the subject of the execution money, which was due you from Thomas Simmonds, as executor of Wm. Baily deceased, particularly subsequent to the 15th of September one thousand seven hundred and ninety three?
Answer. That subsequent to the 15th of September one thousand seven hundred and ninety three, on which date I wrote to the plaintiff requesting payment of the amount of said execution against Thomas Simmonds, the plaintiff and defendant both came to Colchester, when the defendant informed this deponent, that he would call on him and settle the said execution and also a claim or charge which he had against this deponent for sheriff's fees.
Question by defendant. Do you know that the plaintiff ever made the defendant satisfaction for the amount of the execution aforesaid?
Answer. I do not know that he did.
Question by defendant. Did you not consider the defendant your debtor for the execution aforesaid in consequence of the promise made by the defendant, until the plaintiff paid you?
Answer. Yes he did.
Question by defendant. At what time did the plaintiff pay the execution aforesaid?
Answer. On the the 6th day of August, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six.
Question the 4th by defendant. What was the reason you did not call on either
plaintiff or defendant for the execution aforesaid from Sept. 1793?
Answer. Because the defendant claimed of this deponent, a sheriff's fee, which is as yet unsettled, and this deponent expected to settle the execution aforesaid with the defendant, until the plaintiff came and paid the amount to this deponent &c.—The reason why I paid Mr. Baily 6th of August, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six was, because the defendant had previously swore to his answer above stated, denying having received it, and I then tho't it high time, Mr. Baily had his money; as a further confirmation of the justness of this debt, George Summers hath subsequent to his answer, and the above deposition given me his obligation to pay it on demand and which is now in my possession. The foregoing will serve as a sample, of the manner and way, in which George Summers hath conducted himself, as respects those parts of the bill and answers. I have before observed that my father had granted George Summers all his interest in the sheriff's office in 1786, on certain conditions, one of which was, that George Summers should collect his balances then due, & wind up his public account &c. No settlement of which took place between them though often requested, by my father, until the 8th of June, one thousand seven hundred and ninety two, on which day it appears from George Summers's own certificate wrote in my father's books, that a full settlement of all their accounts and transactions had at that time been made, acknowledging himself in debt to my father 31. 14s. 11 1-2d. and 323 lbs. tobacco at which time the said George Summers delivered to my father a list of balances said to be still due him, of money, tobacco, and certificates, which were of value upwards of 100l. and informed the said John Ratcliffe that he must take out warrants, and he, Geo. Summers, would appear to them on trial. It further appears that at the aforesaid settlement, George Summers obtained from the said John Ratcliffe a certificate stating their accounts all to have been then settled; and that in some short time after, Geo. Summers called on John Ratcliffe, and after seeing a list of warrants which John Ratcliffe was about to get signed, in order to proceed to recover some of the aforesaid balances returned by George Summers to him uncollected, that George Summers asked for said list and on some consideration, spoke of some mistake—and that he then took back the list and ultimately did refuse either to account with the said John Ratcliffe, therefor, or return the list again, and proceeded to collect and appropriate those balances to his own private use. The said George Summers hath to many I believe, reported that I had taken advantage of him, by procuring a deed of gift from my father, for all his property and thereby depriving his wife of her dividend of his estate: to prove that in this instance, as in all the others, and many erroneous tales of his, he had stated untruths—I state the following as facts relative to that circumstance, viz. that some time previous to February one thousand seven hundred and ninety six, my father informed me of several debts he owed, and wished paid, but that he had it not in his power to pay them without selling property, and which he meant to do, unless I could raise as much money as would answer the purpose with convenience, and was willing to do so. That if I would, he would secure the repayment by making a deed of gift for all he owned, on condition that I would execute a bond to him, that at his death I or my heirs, should call on three disinterested men, who should value his property, from which amount I was then and not till then, to deduct what should be due me, and the balance to be divided into three equal parts, to which proposition I agreed and went on to discharge the debts aforesaid to a considerable amount. Some time after this transaction my father again, as I was informed, applied to George Summers for the aforesaid list of balances, but without any satisfaction.—In consequence of which my father wrote to me on the 31st July, one thousand seven hundred and ninety six, to come to his house with the writing between us, for he was determined to have it altered, I was determined I would not call on my father for the purpose, as I cared but little about it. He spoke to me frequently on the subject, when I put him off. On the fourteenth day of May 1797 he again wrote me in a most positive manner, that the writing should be altered, and that George Summers should never enjoy another farthing more than he had got of him. After sending the last letter to me he was so determined on the subject, that he followed the letter, and came to my house on the next
day, and on the sixteenth of May 1797, insisted on and had another writing drawn before which I observed to him, that instead of having it done, as he had said, it would be better to charge Mrs. Summers's 3d part with the 100l. which he stated Geo. Summers had so unjustly withheld from him, on which he agreed it might be so wrote, & accordingly it was. This was the last visit I ever received from my father, for he died the month following. Subsequent to the death of my father, and after the suits between George Summers and myself had been dismissed on understanding from Geo. Summers, that the balances due my father aforesaid, was not worth 100l. I informed him if he would come forward, and shew what had been by him received, that we would decide the amount, as also any uncollected balance when received, and he should be charged with no more than he had collected. He appeared satisfied, and promised to do so. I waited some time for the promised information. Not hearing from him, I on the day of wrote him to furnish the promised information, he gave for answer (as I have it stated on a copy of my letter by the bearer) that he would come forward in a few days and give me the information required. I again waited, and a second time wrote him on the subject, as I then wished to make the proper arrangements, as respected my father's property, & to state the accounts with the representatives. He then gave for answer with apparent warmth, I might do as I pleased, he should furnish no accounts &c.
On receiving which information, I then debited Mrs. Summers's account with the 100l. aforesaid received by her husband, and contrary to the writing, did credit her said account with £33 6 8 as her one third of the debt, in order to an equal distribution. I then did credit the account of my other sister for £66 13 4 giving her my one third; determining I would have no part thereof. On charging Mrs. Summers's account with the £66 13 4 with the amount of notes due from George Summers to me, and the costs of suits, &c. the account overruns her dividend of my father's property, after debts paid; all of which can be made appear by reference to the papers mentioned on this subject, to the sale, appraisement and accounts; all of which are in my possession. As before observed, notwithstanding the treatment from, and the conduct of the said George Summers, (which I flatter myself is without a precedent) on account of the family connexion, I was desirous the knowledge of his acts might die away: But understanding, upwards of two years ago, that he had been pursuing his former vices, and feeling irritated, I then said in the presence of some acquaintances, that he was a bad man, and that it was in my power from documents in my possession, to prove he had not sworn to the truth, or had sworn what was not true, in answer to my bill, (of this he was soon after informed) I heard no thing more about the charge aforesaid, for near two years. About a week or two before our last April election, I was called on by Mr. Samuel Farr, at Mr. Violet's tavern, in presence of several others; when a reference was made to my before-mentioned declaration, and asked if I could not prove the same, or to that amount. I then gave for answer, I had wished the business to die away; but on being rather interrogated, I then stated that, in my suit against George Summers, I had charged him with having received two certain sums of money for my use, that as George Summers, in his answer on oath, had denied it; but that I had by two depositions proved my charge—at which time I further said, I had the charity to hope, that when George Summers made those answers, he did not wilfully commit the error, or to that amount; and this I then said for the purpose of moderating the charge, &c. On the day of election, after the poll was opened, Colonel F. Peyton came to me and requested to speak with me: I followed him out of the court house, when he delivered to me the following note from George Summers, viz.
"Sir" I have for some time past flattered myself, that your name would be in oblivion as respects myself; but your false and malicious conduct towards me, in attempting to traduce my private character, is calculated to sharpen the resentment, and rouse the feelings of any man, much less an injured person: You will, therefore, state your charges against me, or make satisfactory explanations for your assertions."
After seeing the contents, and discovering that no charge was stated to have been made, (pursuant to my previous determination relative to said election &c.) I observed to col. Peyton that I should not, or had no charges to make against George Summers, at which time I stated the conversation before alluded to, at Mr. Violet's tavern, observing that Mr. William Moss, was present, when Mr. Farr spoke to me on the subject, and that I presumed the present report arose from Mr. Farr's declarations, and not from mine. I then also stated to him the aforesaid charge, answer, depositions, and that I had the charity to hope George Summers did not wilfully err: his answer was "that you have no charge to make against captain Summers." I replied none: I then went into the court house again, and continued where the votes were taking. After being there some time, some person informed
me that col. Peyton wished to speak to me: I then went to where he was in the court house, between the bar and doors. On asking him his business, he presented a paper which was by one of us laid on the window sill, while I got my spectacles in order to see the contents. On looking over, not more than two lines, finding there, by it was purporting to lead to a statement of what had previously passed between us out of doors. I read no further, and instantly told him if any writing was to be made or referred to, I must write for myself, and that when more at leisure, general T. Mason being near. I then again repeated as before what I had to colonel Peyton out of the court house, perhaps with the addition that George Summers married my sister, for which reason I should make no charges against him &c. If any thing further was said to me I did not hear it. I left them and returned to where I had twice been called from. On my return George Summers had just finished a speech or address to the people, no part of which I understood. He having stopped, I momentarily asked Captain Powell, who stood very near me, whether George Summers, in his speech, mentioned my name? He answered me no. At that moment I felt a pity for his situation, supposing he had been speaking to the people on the subject of the report. I then spoke to the people present, and stated that I supposed George Summers had spoke on the aforesaid subject; and also presumed, it was respecting the charges in my bill, answer, &c. and that although the depositions I had taken were contradictory, or were at war with his answer, yet I had the charity to hope, he did not wilfully make the answer aforesaid, but was under a mistake, or words to that amount; and perhaps mentioned, as before stated, that I had no charge to make against him. Having considered that probably it might die away, and his not having stated any charge that I had made against him, I did not consider myself under any obligations (not having been called on by any person as to the correctness, or incorrectness of the aforesaid charge) to state any charge against him at that time; which were the reasons for my then conduct. But, as I am now addressing the public, in which I hold myself bound to be governed by truth, I must declare, that when I used the words "I had a charitable hope," in the instances before recited, I did it from motives of tenderness and desire that the subject might die away, and not because it was my belief, or opinion; for I have ever considered, that George Summers well knew what he swore, but that he did not calculate on detection; nor can I suppose any man of candor will think me uncharitable in entertaining such an opinion, after the experience and proof I have had of his conduct. I should have made some additional statements to the foregoing, having materials for the purpose; but inasmuch as there now exists cross actions, and an appeal hath been made to our country to judge between us, they must be deferred until we appear on trial.
To you, fellow-citizens, I have thus, in a very prolix manner, endeavored to state the facts promised; and to you I hold myself responsible for the truth of every matter (in substance) alluded to, and shall constantly be prepared and ready to produce, when required, (at my house) all or any of the documents referred to; and where all who wish to ascertain the truth, or have doubts, are requested to call on me.

ST. ROCH, March 7. CAMP BEFORE GIBRALTAR.
In pursuance of orders issued by the commandant general, the battalion of Barastre, with the company of carabiniers and artillery, proceeded yesterday to the camp; and the regiments of Geronia, of Canabre, & that of the cavalry kept themselves in readiness to march on the shortest notice. On the arrival of the troops, 50 carabiniers took post before the tower of Monjuich, from the strand on the east side to the opposite side; 120 men, armed with pikes and other warlike implements, sallied from Fort St. Philip; 80 of those were commanded by Don Valdes, and the remainder by Don Certates. The latter, at the head of his small party, conducted to the stone piles which are situated at the foot of the Mount on the north side, and Don Valdes marched directly against the English guard of the Devil's Tower, which he surprised. The English post was inclosed at the moment that resistance was attempted; the officer charged with the defence of this post was undressed in bed, and sleeping soundly. Two of the English were killed. The centinel's musket missed fire; and the remainder of the guard fled to the citadel, and alarmed the garrison; on this both the Spanish detachments returned to their lines, taking with them the English officer and three soldiers, one of whom was mortally wounded. The Spanish fire ships had gone out of the river; but the night being too clear, they could undertake nothing.
NORFOLK, May 29.
Captain Drummond, of the brig Fame, in 16 days from Dominica, states that a frigate belonging to sir John Orde's squadron, had been dispatched and arrived at Barbados, with the news of the Toulon fleet of 19 sail having arrived at Cadiz—That sir J. O. had put into Gibraltar. The frigate had 17 days passage.
By the arrival of the brig Fair American, from Grenada, a gentleman in this town received a paper of the 10th ultimo, which he has obligingly permitted us to peruse: From which we extract an article under the Barbados head, confirming the above report. We are now certain that the Toulon fleet has entered the Atlantic; of course its destination was a secret to the English admiral.
If the Toulon fleet consisted of ten sail of the line, and should be augmented by 10 sail more from Cadiz, we are not disposed to join in the opinion of the West India writer that its present object is the reduction of the islands. Twenty sail of the line, proceeding directly to Brest, uniting with the fleet in that port, would give us a very agreeable surprise to admiral Gardner, whose fleet cannot consist of more than twenty or twenty-one sail of the line. It will be remembered that Bonaparte has lately ordered all the troops constituting the army of England, to return to their former encampments on the coast; has made a new appointment of officers, Massena to command in England, Angereau in Ireland, and Marmont in Scotland. These circumstances, together with the active movements lately observed in the flotilla at Boulogne, do not indicate any relinquishment of the favorite scheme of invasion; and it may very easily be conceived that a fleet of forty or fifty sail of the line would make a very powerful diversion in favor of that enterprise. Our opinion is that whatever may be its subsequent movements, the first object of this fleet will be to relieve Brest. It is probable that before this is attempted it will be joined by the Ferrol squadron.

From the Barbadoes Mercury. May 4.
Dispatches were yesterday received here, brought by his Majesty's ship Mercury, captain the hon. D. P. Bouverie, from Vice Admiral Sir John Orde, dated, "His Majesty's ship Glory, at Sea, April 10th, 1805," communicating the important intelligence of the sudden appearance off Cadiz, of the Toulon fleet consisting of from 20 to 24 sail, eleven or twelve of them of the line, and the rest heavy frigates.
This fleet, it appears, was on the evening of the 9th, close off Cadiz, harbour, where one French ship of the line, and six or seven Spanish, were then ready to join them, and three or four more would be in about 24 hours.
Whether any troops were on board these ships was not known, nor had the destination of this force after its conjunction been ascertained, but it was judged to be to the westward; and it was reported that the Spanish ships were bound to the Havanna.
From this intelligence, it is very evident that the safety of the West Indies is again threatened, and we ought not to be lulled into inactivity.
The enemy's object, it has been already experienced, is predatory warfare; and that they can effect this with impunity, the escape of Messieurs sufficiently evinces.
According to the latest accounts, this enterprising hero, after having landed the remainder of Lagrange's troops at St. Domingo, and carried his system of destruction and pillage into further effect, has sailed from thence, and proceeded, as is confidently said, to Newfoundland, where we can look for nothing short of his late wantonness, well corresponding with his valiant prototype Richery who formerly robbed the fisherman there, and burnt their boats.
The Mercury, after the despatches were delivered immediately proceeded to sea, and stood to the westward. Sir John Orde, we understand, had also sent advices of the enemy's appearance off Cadiz, to England, and to Lord Nelson, up the Mediterranean. His Majesty's ship Cyrane, captain the hon. G. Cadogan, arrived on Wednesday with the prize privateer Spanish schooner La Justicia, of 7 guns and 80 men, from Cumana, out eight days, and taken in the latitude of Desseada.

TOULON FLEET.—It is ascertained, that this fleet about the beginning of April, escaped from the port where they have been long blockaded by admiral Nelson; passed Gibraltar on the 9th of April, and appeared off Cadiz on the 14th. It is composed of 4 ships of 80 guns, and 7 of 74, under the command of admiral Villeneuve; and had on board 8000 troops under the French Emperor's favorite general Lauriston.
On the appearance of the fleet off Cadiz, the small British squadron withdrew, and sailed for England. Cutters had been despatched to Gibraltar, Lisbon, &c. to the fleet before Brest, that off the Texel, and to England, with intelligence that the French squadron had passed the straits. (Bost. Pal.)
The following which is an extract of a letter to the editor, written by a respectable gentleman of this city, now at Portsmouth, leaves no doubt of the French Toulon fleet being at sea; and must consequently excite much curiosity to ascertain their ultimate destination.
"PORTSMOUTH, (N. H.) May 23. "The ship Hampden and Sidney, captain Trefethen, arrived here last evening from Marseilles. On the 8th April, off Gibraltar they fell in with the Toulon fleet, of 11 ships of the line, 6 frigates and 2 brigs, and continued with them till the 9th, when they parted the fleet steering west. They were boarded by a frigate from the fleet, who informed they had on board 7000 troops. A frigate came out of Gibraltar, and dogged the French fleet. The admiral of the fleet was Villeneuve, and it
was said that Admiral Nelson was off Genua. (Phil. Gaz.)
Captain Burroughs, arrived at Boston was in Morlaix at the time the Brest fleet put to sea. He informs that the fleet consisted of 21 sail of the line, that they had a large number of troops on board and were destined for some expedition. That the English squadron, commanded by sir Joseph Orde, consisting of 15 sail only, gave chase; that the French fleet put about, but were pursued by the English, who were within half an hour of cutting off their return, and did actually give them several shot. He further states that it was a subject of great rejoicing on shore, that the fleet had escaped an engagement, as their object was not to fight, but to proceed to some other quarter.
Captain Borroughs saw the English squadron on their usual cruising ground, augmented to twenty five sail.
The anecdote mentioned under our foreign department, requires a little explanation, before our readers, unacquainted with the French language, can comprehend both the point of this very serious pun and the caution with which it was conveyed.
The orange peel, cut so as to be reunited, and resemble an entire orange was thrown upon the stage. It contained a Louis, or French guinea, and a paper on which was written
Jetez l'corse—prenez votre Louis. which is simply
Throw away the peel—take your Guinea. This, addressed to the actor who picked up the orange, was all well enough; but mark the carambole , as the French call it. The very same sounds likewise mean
Reject the Corsican—receive your Louis. And this was addressed to every Frenchman. A thunderbolt to Bonaparte, sure enough. [Boston Repertory.]
From the SALEM REGISTER.
By the last accounts from the interior, the Indians of the Wabash have become jealous of the Osages, who have lately opened a communication with our states. It is presumed from the pacific principles of our president, and the great care he has taken to prevent any unfriendly intercourse between the citizens of the United States and the natives, that he will not be wanting in his endeavors to prevent any contests among the natives, by which the love of war will be maintained, and great troubles necessarily arise to the citizens of the United States. It is said by Pratz, who was informed of the manners of the Indians, especially of Louisiana and the Mississippi, that the manner of making war is uniformly the same among all the nations. So much of the history of Des Cortes as appears entitled to serious belief, leads us to the same opinion. In the time of Montezuma, the councils were as well known, as in the present age. This council, says Pratz, consists of the oldest and bravest warriors. The cause of declaring war is announced to them by the war chief. Then the old men debate in the presence of the war chief and sovereign, who are witnesses of the debate, and the opinion of the old men is decisive. If peace is wished after any hostilities, and the pipe of peace is sent by a brave warrior, and if war is not intended by the offending power, a present is made to the ambassador and his retinue. If war is determined, then numerous ceremonies are observed, all of which indicate their determination to oppose the enemy. They feast, drink together, and represent the enemy by some sign, and all perform some open act of violence to that which is represented as their enemy.
The late traveller, Mackenzie, says of the Kistineaux, who live on the waters he visited, that they preserve their love of war. That the elders convene the people to know the general opinion. If the public mind be for war, he notifies them of the time appointed to smoke in the sacred stem, to which solemnity, "mediation and fasting are required as preparatory ceremonies. When thus assembled, the chief enlarges on the cause of the war, and then he invites such as approve of war to smoke with him, and each one leaves some token of his warlike intention. To the Chepe-wau Indians, he assigns less national power and a more dependent situation. But submissive as they are to their more powerful neighbors, they make war without mercy on the Eskimaux, who cannot resist them. We might be led to reflect on the savage state of man, as always furnishing the temper and the causes of war. But we have not such a happy view of the manners of civilized man as to admit a comparison with which humanity can be pleased. In this part of the history of man, little can be found to flatter the self love we might fondly indulge in the approbation of
any portion of the human race. Greece and Rome were not strangers to war. And the most enlightened nations of Europe do not boast of long periods of peace. When the Christian world is in peace, we may find objects for our piety in the distant wilds of America.
His Danish Majesty's charge d'affairs, and consul near the United States, gives this public notice to the merchants and traders whom it may concern.
That it has been agreed between his majesty the King of Denmark and the powers bordering on the Baltic; that for the future no merchant vessel coming from the North Sea and destined to a port in the Baltic, shall be there admitted, unless the captain can produce a certificate from the custom house, by which it is legally proved, that on entering the said Sea, whether by the sound, straight, or by the Great or Small Belt, the vessel has come to at Helsingør, Nyborg or Fredericia, and there taken its clearance, and consequently the Health office which is established at each of these passages, has, after the usual examination, granted permission to pursue its voyage.
In consequence of this arrangement, should any captain, bound up the Baltic, omit, as formerly, coming to, and taking a clearance at one of the places above mentioned, he will be refused admittance into every other port and seat immediately back to submit to the examinations and proofs which the said health officer may deem necessary.
