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 clothing, a description of which is unnecessary, as it is probable he has changed them. He has been frequently seen about town since he absconded, 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 discovery of those who have been accessory to his concealment.
Captain's of vessels, &c. are forewarned at their peril, not to take him away.

For the Alexandria Daily Advertiser. FRIENDSHIP. Tho' chilling as the wintry wind, A weight of woes depress the mind, To depths below the tomb; Soft Friendship's voice pure from the soul, Would warm beneath the northern pole, And dissipate the gloom. The soul reviving balm it bears, Would chase a hydra troop of cares, From the perturbed heart; The happy few, who prove it's pow'r, Well know it cheers the gloomiest hour Affliction can impart. Unlike to Love's despotic reign, Who binds with servile, bar'rous chain, The instant when he smiles; Whose joys would ne'er repay, for sighs, For tear bedew'd, bedimed eyes, Of those who've prov'd his wiles. 'Tis not to age, nor sex confin'd, Or dwells it in the vicious mind, For vice can never know, The bliss supreme which doth attend, When virtuous hearts united blend, Weeping each other's woe. Yet, Julius says 'twould not be found, Tho' we should search the world around, He holds deception's mart; But sure in characters of gold, It is engrav'd on ev'ry fold, Of his Maria's heart! Tho' bless'd with him her heart reveres, Her couch is oft suffus'd with tears, For sorrows not her own; While he lies wrapt in balmy sleep, She wakes at midnight, wakes to weep, And heave the heavy groan. The paltry world, the common guide, She nobly dares to spurn aside, While true to friendship's call; And passes by the splendid dome, Pursues pale misery to its home, To share its cup of gall. Forgets the bliss she left behind, Anxious to raise the drooping mind, And bind the broken heart, So eager pledges deep the cup, Ready to drink the mixture up, Nor leave the wretch a part. Here Friendship makes a second claim— 'Tis not a less ennobled name, Say Julius what he may! Nought else could stand the test of years, E'en pity sheds but transient tears, Which dries as dew away! When Lucius hears another's fame Reproach'd, and covered o'er with shame, His soften'd features shew, That pity fills his manly mind, But soon alas, too soon we find, 'Twas but a transient glow. Then Julius come, that mist dispel! Tho' some have said, it does not dwell, But in equality— I'll prove, tho' you should still resist, Without the pale it can exist, By the reality. And well as Julius knows the heart, He sure mistakes his own in part, For Friendship triumphs there, The mould that form'd Maria's mind, Form'd his as gen'rous good and kind, And Friendship claims the pair.

Late Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, November 16. By the Dublin Mail of this morning, which has brought papers and letters of the 11th inst. we learn that a report was cur- rent the same day throughout that city of the appearance, off Cork, of a small division of the Brest fleet, consisting of two sail of the line and three frigates. This rumour originated from the source to which we raced it yesterday, and is not entitled to credit. It was caused by the arrival of the Diamond frigate at Cork, from the Chan- nel fleet; but had any of the Brest squadron made their escape, there can be no doubt but that Admiral Cornwallis would have dispatched some small vessel to the nearest port, with intelligence of a circumstance certainly of importance in the present con- jecture of public affairs. Letters have been received in town from on board the Diamond, dated the 7th inst. then steering for Cork, which make no mention of the event. She was charged, we understand, with some private commu- nication from Admiral Cornwallis to Ad- miral Lord Gardner, probably containing an account of his observations on the ene- my's strength in Brest, and of their proba- ble intentions, should they succeed in slip- ping out unobserved by the blockading
CHARLESTON, January, 7. It is now upwards of two years since it was ob- served that an unusual disease had made its ap-
pearance among the pine trees in the northern and eastern parts of this state. The year before the last, many trees died; but the last the destruc- tion was so great, as to give uneasiness to the owners of land—In many places there are thou- sand of acres where nine tenths of the best trees are killed. The cause of the evil has been care- fully sought after, and found to proceed from a small black winged bug, resembling the weevil, but something larger. A great number of these bugs have been observed, in the spring of the year, and early in the summer, flying near the root of each tree; they pierce the bark just above the ground, and lay their eggs between the bark and the wood; in a few weeks after these eggs hatch, and a worm appears, which, at its full growth is about an inch long; they imme- diately begin feeding on the sap of the tree, and do not leave effecting until the whole of it is destroyed. It is believed that no attempt has yet been made to remedy the evil, which, if it continues, threatens to destroy the most valu- able timber this country possesses.
A gentleman lately from the country asserts, that on a tract of 2000 acres of pine land which he owns on the Sampit river near George town, at least ninety trees, in every hundred have been destroyed by this pernicious insect, and the ad- joining lands and many tracts near Lenud's ferry, on the Santee, and on Black river, are in the same situation.
Congress of the United States. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, Jan. 24, 1804.
A letter was received from the Secretary of the Treasury, in obedience to a resolution of the house of the last session, on a more equal imposi- tion of duties on imported articles. A message was received from the Senate, sta- ting that they had elected John Brown, President pro tempore, in the absence of the Vice President. The house went into a committee of the whole —Mr. Dawson in the chair—on the bill making the provision for the application of the monies appropriated for making public roads to the Ohio. Mr. Smilie moved the rising of the committee, with a view to the postponement of the bill to the next session.
This motion was supported on the ground that the application of the money was premature, there being about 800 dollars in the treasury, and that the designation of the route would occasion much discussion, which would interfere with the trans- action of important business before the house.
It was opposed by Messrs. Jackson, S. L. Mitchell, Holland and Lyon, who contended that considerable time would elapse before the necess- ary arrangements could be made for making the roads; previously to which upon a calculation made on a report of the secretary of the treasury, 20,000 dollars would be accumulated, and an annual sum accrue thereafter of about 10,000 dollars; and that the present was as eligible a period as could occur for designating the points of the road to be laid out.
The committee rose—Ayes 70. When the question being for giving leave to the committee to sit again.
Mr. R. Griswold said he should vote for it,— He was of opinion that sufficient information did not exist to designate the points of the route, and that it could not be had without authorising the appointment of commissioners to explore the ground; for the purpose of modifying the bill, to effect this object alone, he should vote for leave being given to the committee to sit again.
This motion was supported by Messrs. R. Griswold, Davis, Lyon and Holland, and oppo- sed by Mr. Smilie; and carried—Ayes 71— Nays 55.
Mr. J. Randolph, from the committee of ways and means, reported a recommendation that the House should agree to some, and disagree to o- thers, of the amendments of the Senate to the bill giving effect to the laws of the United States in Louisiana.
Mr. J. Randolph from the same committee, reported a recommendation to disagree to the Amendments of the Senate on the bill making military appropriations.
A message was received from the President, en- closing a very interesting letter for Governor Claiborne, stating the tranquility of the province of Louisiana, and the satisfaction and confidence of the inhabitants in the American government.

A person who has been a sufferer from having his slaves harboured, requires the attention of a particular description of persons to the following section of an act passed by the legislature of Virginia entitled— An Act to amend the Act, entitled an Act to reduce into one, the several acts concerning slaves, &c. &c.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That all free persons who shall be convicted before any magistrate of a county or corporation court, of harbouring or entertaining any slave without the consent of his or her master, mistress or overseer, shall forfeit and pay immediately the sum of ten dollars to the use of the informer, and in case of failure to make payment thereof, to be required by the magistrate before whom such person shall be brought, to give bond and approved security for his or her appearance at the next court to be held for the said county or corporation, and in the mean time to be of good behaviour, or stand committed until the same shall be performed. And in case the person so offending shall be a free negro or mulatto, and shall be unable to pay the said sum, then to receive such corporal chastisement, not exceeding thirty nine lashes, as the magistrate shall determine upon.

Should Mr. Jefferson unwisely plunge us into a war with Great Britain, his conduct cannot fail to remain a monument of weakness, ignorance and rashness to the latest posterity. The article which we yesterday presented to our readers, (see the remarks under the London head, relative to the third article of the British treaty) bears the broad stamp of a ministerial pen, and we consider it no less official than we did the first intimations in the London press, of the misunderstanding between Bonaparte and Lord Whitworth; and there can be no doubt but it is as much meant to prepare the public mind of England for some material change in their foreign relations. We do not know, but should be glad to learn, what threat Mr. Monroe has thrown out to the British government, and we should wish also to understand, what provocation could have induced him to make use of any. Our present opinion is that the treaty, as it stood before, would be cheerfully acquiesced in now, and renewed by Great Britain, without the necessity of any expostulating language whatever. Experience has shown, contrary to all the rant and roar of the democrats when Jay's treaty was received, that under the influence of that very instrument, which one of Mr. Jefferson's officers, B. M'Clengan, voted should "be kicked to hell," our commerce has increased with a rapidity exceeding anything which the annals of history can exhibit. Why Mr. Monroe should stick out for more and attempt to bully the British nation into compliance, we cannot account for on no other ground, than his great predilection for France, to whom he long ago wished to make us and now actually has made us tributary.
The ratification of the 12th article, limiting our intercourse with their West India islands to vessels not exceeding 70 tons, the ministry of Great Britain will not, cannot at this day, attempt to insist upon. They well know we are in possession of Louisiana, and that, holding it, we are independent of all their tropical islands. The dispute cannot, therefore, be upon this only really obnoxious article. There are other articles, those upon contraband especially, which we would wish to see a good deal modified; but so long as they agree to pay us 10 per cent upon the collected charges of the principal articles included therein, if intercepted in going to an enemy's port we should risk nothing, much less our peace, or the liberal intercourse they allow us with their East India possessions, for any alteration of this part of the treaty.
We published an address to the British minister, Mr. Merry, a few days back, signed by 15 or 20 British captains on the hardships which they suffer in the ports of Virginia. Adhering to the spirit of the swindling laws of Virginia, Jefferson's party have always loudly clamored against those articles of the British treaty which enforced the payment of just debts due to British merchants, or which contracted for the delivery up of pirates and the arresting runaway sailors belonging to either party.—We all remember the alarm into which the ghost of Jonathan Robbins, the pirate, threw the whole nation. We should not be suppressed, since the Witch of Endor, Ned Livingston, has bewitched the nation out of
100,000 dollars, & with it taken a trip to Elysium in search of his friend Jonathan the same ghost, or something equally substantial, should be the cause of all the warmth of Monroe, and the ground work of a war between the two nations. Which the Lord in his mercy forbid and all the people will say, Amen. Balt. Fed. Gaz.
A letter from New Orleans, under date of the 27th of December, says—"We are now dismissed from patrolling and standing guard as formerly. Business, which has been in a state of stagnation, begins to revive, and to assume vigor. The day on which this place was transferred to our government was a day of general rejoicing—63 guns were fired at the fort, 21 in honor of the United States, 21 to the French Republic, and 21 to the King of Spain. We augur from the cession of this valuable territory the happiest consequences to the commercial and political interests of our country." Mer. Adv.
Extract of a letter from Murfrees Borough, (N. C.) dated Dec. 29.
I have opened my letter to relate an accident that happened about 20 miles from this place on the 12th inst. During the time captain Smith's vessel lay in the river, a tornado came on which lasted about five minutes, and upset the vessel—the mate and the seamen in the cabin at the time.—Mr. Bradly's house was carried some distance, his desk and other furniture dispersed nearly 400 yards from the house, and his cash and goods strewed in various directions—a horse and bull carried some distance, the former killed, as well as all his poultry, hogs, &c.—the trees adjoining tore up by the roots—bricks, &c. flew about, some nearly a quarter of a mile, and many others unfortunate disasters took place. The vessel was righted again yesterday, and three of the men were found dead, linked together in the cabin."

SITTING BEFORE JUDGE RADCLIFFE, January 16th, 1804. HART vs. HOSACK.
This was an action of assumpsit, for the return of a sum of money paid, as alleged by the plaintiff, without any consideration for the same.
The facts which appeared in evidence were briefly these:—Some years ago a son of the plaintiff, aged about 14 years, went as a student of medicine on trial, with the defendant. After remaining in his shop between four and five months, the young man took a fancy to complete his education abroad; and accordingly embarked for London. A few days before his departure the defendant sent to the plaintiff requesting his note at 60 days, for 375 dollars, for which he promised to "account" with him. The note was given without hesitation, and some time afterwards the defendant sent the plaintiff his account, charging him with the above sum as a fee—and crediting him with the account of the note paid.—The plaintiff insisted that this note was a loan, and accordingly commenced a suit for so much, as the court and jury might think it reasonable to allow, after deducting a suitable allowance for the time his son remained a student with the defendant.—The cause as once before tried, when a verdict was found for the defendant, tho' against the opinion of the court. The verdict was set aside and a new trial ordered. On this trial it was urged by the counsel for the plaintiff.
1. That this was to be considered merely as a loan. 2. That as there was no contract between the parties to this suit, and as the son had no authority to bind the father by any bargain he might make, the plaintiff could not in law be liable for an apprentice fee, and of course was entitled to a repayment of the sum paid on his note. 3. That at all events the defendant was only entitled to a reasonable compensation, to a quantum meruit, for the time, the plaintiff's son had actually spent in the study of physic with defendant.
On the part of the defendant it was replied, that the son with the knowledge of the father, had engaged in the study of medicine with Dr. Hosack. Having come on trial, and having had sufficient time to make up his mind, and having resolved to pursue the profession, of medicine, although abroad, rather than at home—the defendant was justly entitled to his usual apprentice fee. That it would be a dangerous precedent to set to young men, if they had engaged in a profession or line of business, they were at liberty to change their instructors at pleasure.
The counsel then offered in evidence Dr H's book of daily entries, to shew that this fee was regularly charged, as in other cases.
To this the counsel for the plaintiff objected. They contended that by the settled rule of law no person could give in evi-
dence his own book of accounts in his own hand writing. That in all cases the law required some other and stronger proof.
It was admitted, in reply, that a book of daily entries in the party's own hand writing, would not be good evidence to support a direct claim, but was received in proof of a collateral fact. The Court rejected the evidence, observing, that a fact, though apparently collateral, often determined the event of a cause.
After the counsel on each side had finished their summing up of the evidence, the judge delivered a clear and full charge to the jury, in favor of the plaintiff's demand. The jury retired and soon after returned with a verdict for the defendant.

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 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 an apology for leaving it unopened; in this way, small portions of time would be profitably employed, which otherwise would be totally lost. In large families a Bible volume, affording an opportunity for several to read 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.
The Executors
Of Mr. William Triplett, deceased, have an account with the Court as soon as possible, they hereby give notice to the legatees, and others having unliquidated accounts, that they bring them forward for settlement, on or before the 15th instant. The legatees are requested particularly to attend to this notice, as the executors cannot proceed to make the dividend of such part or parts of the estate, as have come to their hands, until full accounts are given in, adjusted and settled.
They will Sell,
for ready money, at Mr. Goff's tavern, on Saturday the 28th inst. three BANK SHARES of the augmented Stock of the Alexandria Bank, and on Monday the 30th inst. on the premises.
They will Sell
the T 43 of LAND called MARBLE HILL, on which Mr. William Triplett now lives; the number of acres will be ascertained by actual survey previous to the sale. This land is fertile and considerably improved; on it is a good farm house, (on a most elegant situation) a kitchen, meat house, corn house, stable, garden and orchard of good Fruit trees. This land lies about two miles from Colchester, one and an half from the Occoquan Mills, where there are high prices given for every kind of country produce. The terms of sale for the land will be the same as heretofore made known on the sale of the other tracts. On the same day, and at the same place.
