ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD. RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 29th of October last, a negro man slave named BOB , about 20 years of age, five feet nine inches high straight limbed and well formed; said slave hath an impediment in his speech which prevents his readily replying to a question. He commonly wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of good cloathing, a description of which is unneces- sary, as it is probable he has changed them. He has been frequently seen about town since he ab- sconded, and in all probability is now secreted by his mother, Winney Brown , formerly the slave of Mr. John Muir , late of this town, but now said to be free. The above reward will be paid for securing said Negro BOB , in any goal, and a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the dis- covery of those who have been accessory to his concealment.

A letter received here states, that, the the British brig Experiment , which sailed from this port last December, has arrived at Barbadoes, and left there the 27th Janu- ary, for some other Island, that market being glutted.

A letter from Nassau, (N. P.) dated January 29th received by a commercial house in New-York says, "Every man here, capable of bearing arms, is put in a state of requisition to repel the meditated attack of the fugitive French from St. Do- mingo. An embargo is laid on all Spanish and British vessels. The noted Captain George Johnson has sent in 14 prize ves- sels, three of them Americans and several British, recaptured from the French—Pork is 22 dollars per barrel, beef 16 do. corn 12 shillings per bushel, and butter 4s. per pound.
"We have long said that the union of the democratic leaders is a union in which virtue has no part. Witness their infernal ravings a- gainst their own Vice President. The man whom they have exalted to the second place in the government is by themselves declared a scoun- drel and a traitor! A guillotine would not have been too bad three years ago for the federalists who should have dared to hold this language.— But let us take their own account of the matter —let us allow in compliance to their own earnest vocalizations that their own vice president is a base and detestable villain, and what does it prove—exactly what we have always said, that this republicanism is a mask under which knaves mount into office. If their charges against their vice president be true, let no man have confi- dence again in the candidates whom the chief jugglers present for his support. If on the other hand they are false, let every honest man with- draw his countenance from those bloodhounds of character. Again if these charges against their own Vice President are true. If in him they have been thus woefully deceived, will they dare to say that in their president himself they have not been cheated? Surely it is not impossible that those who declare themselves deluded in one instance, may be so in another. How then is it that these men have the face to instruct a free people. Men who in the perfection of their own stupid malice are crying their own disgrace through the land; are declaring often and aloud that they have been the dupes of Mr. Burr's in- trigue. Are these the men to whose sagacity we shall trust? What these dupes of Mr. Burr? For shame let us not be moved like puppets by the fl. acknowledged, felt proclaimed dupes of Aaron Burr. The next time these keeneyed dragons are duped, the ruin of our liberties may be the first warning we shall have. (Usher Gaz.)
From the New-York Morning Chronicle.
COMMUNICATION. "Good lord! to see the various ways of dress- ing a calves head!" TO THE BEAUX OF NEW-YORK. Gentlemen, Being one of those who are friends to style and fashion, I presume, I have a right to oppose any unwarrantable encroachments on the present ton . An at- tempt is made to introduce again, a custom long since exploded as too barbarous for this enlightened age; I mean powdered heads and large queues ; a custom established con- trary to reason, and which, I am bold to say, has no foundation in nature. Who could have attempted to introduce so quiz- zical a fashion, but some old, would-be- beau, who is determined to hide his grey hairs under a load of pomatum and powder? Can any man of taste compare the beauty and convenience of a brutus crop, to the stiffness and formality of a powdered pate? and a queu too! of all things in the world the most ungraceful! If men are deter- mined to assimilate themselves to a certain contemptible animal , by wearing this dange- ling appendage, I shall think, they deserve the stigma long since fixed on the beaux of the old school by impertinent naturalists; "that they are but one link in the chain of animal creation, above the monkey tribe." If men of style will wear tails , I think, with my cousin Tim Switch , that they should be sewed in the rear, to the bottom of their spencers . Should this detestable mode, in spite of all reason, be adopted, it is to be hoped that our belles, as a counterpart, will re- vive all the horrors of the ancient mode: the huge unshapen hoop; the formal stays; the horse shoe roll; and the unsightly ca- lash. Besides, gentlemen, although I like to be in the tippy , I honestly confess, that I wish to be so, at as cheap a rate as possi- ble. In our present mode of crops , what
trouble or expence have we? No barber's fees, no disbursements for powder, poma- tum, &c. not even the expense of a comb! Nothing is necessary but to sleep without a night cap, to tumble the hair a little with our fingers, when lo! is produced that beautiful disorder , that regular irregularity , which is the pride and glory of the pre- sent ton ! For these, and a thousand other reasons, I hope, the enlightened order of beaux, will oppose this attempt to revolu- tionize the fashionable world. I have the honor to me, gentlemen, one of You,
BOB CROP.
EXTEMPORE, On a Review of the Charter TRANSMUTA- TION Controversy.
The ancient Charter Our rights did batter, To make it better They ground its matter In Federal Mill; And Demos wicked Is dust e'en licked, And bled it, till Mars feign'd to kill With leaden pill, When bis did glide On Mars's side; 'Twas 1, 2, 3 Law clinch'd a fee. Says Mars to Jow Thou'st a cais-pau , Thy brain tick, ticks, Like hen and chicks! Says Jow to Mars The charge is false, Thou'st got a knack To quack, quack, quack! When lo! a knave Politely gave Some 4, 5, 6, Slight blows and kicks; Mars in a pet Did turn the bet; 'Twas 3, 2, 1. 'Twould end in fun, And sure enough 'Twas all a puff; The whole is brought To 0, 0, 0!
QUID.
Congress of the United States. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, March 5.
Dr. Mitchell from the committee of Com- merce and Manufactures, made a report on the seamen of the United States, who in some ports and harbours at home, are excluded in certain cases, although sick, from the benefit of hospi- tal money. The committee have taken an exten- sive view of a subject, in which the interests of our mariners are deeply concerned.
The house resumed the consideration of the report of the committee of elections on the peti- tion of Andrew Moore respecting the seat held by Thomas Lewis.
Mr. R. Griswold moved a postponement of the further consideration of the report till the 11 Monday in November, that in the mean time opportunity should be given to ascertain facts.
Mr. Dawson opposed the postponement.
Mr. J. Clay also opposed the postponement; and declared, for reasons assigned by him, that he should vote in favor of the first part of the re- port, declaring that Thomas Lewis does not ap- pear to be entitled to a seat, and against the se- cond part, declaring Andrew Moore to be en- titled to a seat, that a new election might be held.
A debate ensued on the motion to postpone, which continued the whole day, when the ques- tion was taken, and the motion lost. Ayes 36. The question was then taken by yeas and nays on the first member of the report, viz. That Thomas Lewis, not being duly elected, is not entitled to a seat in this House, and carried in the affirmative. Yeas 68—Nays 39.
The question was then taken by yeas and nays on the remainder of the report, viz. That An- drew Moore, having the greatest number of qua- lified votes, independent of the bad votes above mentioned, is entitled to a seat in the House; and likewise carried in the affirmative. Yeas 64—Nays 41.
Andrew Moore, thereupon appeared, was qua- lified, and took his seat. Mr. Nicholson presented a petition from A. Addison praying leave to erect a bridge over the the Eastern Branch, Referred.
Tuesday, March 6.
General Varnum reported a bill supplementary to the militia law of Columbia. Referred to a committee of the whole to mor- row.
Mr. Leib stated that there appeared to be some inaccuracies in the report of the select com- mittee appointed to enquire into the expenditures made for the support of the marine corps. He therefore moved the recommencement of the report for the purpose of correction.
Agreed to. General Varnum moved a resolution for the appointment of a committee to consider if any,
and what alterations are necessary in the military peace establishment.
Agreed to. Mr. Varnum founded this resolution on the ex- pediency of increasing the number of surgeons mates, rendered necessary by the increased garri- sons arising out of the possession of Louisiana, and on an opinion entertained of the propriety of substituting malt, in the room of spirituous liquors.
Mr. Thompson, from the committee appointed on the message of the President respecting the state of the public buildings in Washington, made a report, stating the objects on which the sum appropriated the last session was expended, expressing their opinion that two annual appro- priations of fifty thousand dollars ought to be made, and will be sufficient to finish the south wing of the Capitol in a commodious manner, and recommending an immediate appropriation of fi- fty thousand dollars.
Referred to a committee of the whole.
Mr. Nicholson said he was instructed by the managers in the case of impeachment of John Pickering to report a statement of their proceed- ings. He said that as it had been hastily drawn up at his table, it might be, in some respects, in- correct, and might not embrace a full view of all that had occurred; but he believed that it stated all that it was necessary for the house to be pos- sessed of.
After stating, in detail, the proceedings of the Managers, the report concludes with the declara- tion, that the Managers will not feel themselves bound or authorised to appear before the Se- nate until called upon by them to proceed with the trial, or until directed to appear by the House.
A motion was made by Mr. Smilie approbato- ry of the conduct of the Managers, on which no decision was made when the House adjourned — In the remarks, made on this motion (which shall appear in our next) no disapprobation of the con- duct of the Managers was expressed; the only difference of opinion that arose was on the pro- priety of expressing any opinion whatever in the present instance of the conduct of the Ma- nagers.

ELEGANT EDITION of The HOLY BIBLE. PROPOSALS For Printing by Subscription, (in four handsome octavo volumes) THE HOLY BIBLE, CONTAINING The Old and New Testaments.
CONDITIONS. It shall be printed on a superfine wove paper, with an elegant new type. The price to subscribers will be Two Dollars per vol. in boards, or Two Dollars and Fifty Cents , handsomely bound and lettered. To those who subscribe for several copies, a discount will be made, proportioned to the number subscribed for. The advantage of having this invaluable Book printed on a large type, and at the same time, in portable and convenient volumes, appears so evident, that the encouragement necessary to warrant an undertaking of such magnitude, is confidently expected; a portable volume would often be taken up, in a moment of leisure, when the size of a large, unwieldy folio, would operate as an apology for leaving it unopened; in this way, small portions of time would be profitably employed, which might otherwise be totally lost. In large families a Bible in volumes, affording an opportunity for several to read at once, may sometimes be peculiarly convenient: it seems superfluous to add much on this subject—suffice it to say, that no reasonable expense or pains shall be spared, to render this edition of the Holy Scriptures both correct and elegant. The above work is in press, and will be finished about the end of the present year.
Subscriptions received by R. and J. Gray, King Street, where a specimen of the paper and printing may be seen.
Public Sale. On the first day of May ensuing, will be sold, a moiety in fee simple, of The 3 story Brick Dwelling House situate in Prince Street, at present in the occupancy of Mr. A. S. Swoope. Also, a moiety of THREE TENEMENTS, situate in King Street, tenanted to Philip Conn and others. The terms will be made known on the day of sale, by J. B. Swoope, Administrator of E. B.

An indisputable title will be given for either, and terms made known by applying to the subscriber, living near said mill seat. William Carlin. Feb. 22. 1w 3f
