A TALK.—We perceive by our New Orleans papers, that on Friday the 5th of September, 1805, the Grand Chief of the Caddo nation, accompanied by twelve or fifteen of his warriors, arrived at Natchitoches, and on the following day governor Claiborne, in the presence of the officers of the army, and many respectable citizens, made to the chief an Address, of which the following is a copy:
Grand chief of the Caddo nation, Friend and Brother,
THAT great and good man, the president of the United States, esteems you and your people. Like the rising sun that gives light and comfort to the world, expands the ears of the American chief, and his desire is to promote the happiness of all mankind. He is particularly solicitous to better the condition of his red children; he wishes them to know war no more; to live in peace with all their neighbors; to pursue the deer in safety; to cultivate their little fields of corn without fear, and that no enemy should disturb their sleep at night.
Such, brother, are the sentiments of the grand American chief—you have before heard his words from the mouth of his agent (Dr. Sibley) and I hope you have not forgotten them.
Brother! There are some men whose tongues are like the tongues of snakes; they talk much, and often speak that which is not true. Distrust the man who would tell you, that the president of the United States is not your friend; the man who would say so has a forked tongue and tells lies.
Brother! Let your people continue to hold the Americans by the hand, and with sincerity and in friendship, and the chain of peace will be bright and strong; our children will smoke together, and the pipe will never be colored with blood.
Brother! The president of the United States was the friend of peace, but he fears not war! The time was many years past when a mighty king, who lives beyond the big water, made war upon the Americans, and sent his warriors to conquer our country; many battles were fought, and much blood was spilled; the Americans were then few in number, but fought with bravery, and the warriors of that great king were forced to return to their own land. We were then a young people, but have now grown up to manhood, and could strike an enemy with a heavier hand and a stronger arm.
Brother! The president of the United States is just to all nations; but if a nation is unjust to his people, his own warriors can fight his battles. You have seen but a small number of these warriors, they are spread over an immense tract of country; some live where snow seldom falls, and others where armies can cross rivers upon the ice.
Brother! We have some dispute about the limits of Louisiana; the Americans suppose that the limits extend far towards the setting sun, but our neighbors, the Spaniards, tell us, that a little dry bayou, which you passed yesterday, is the line.
Brother! You know we got the country from the French, and that the Americans now claim all the land which the French formerly possessed.
You are an older man, brother, than I am, you must know something of the matter. You have seen places where the French built forts and cultivated corn; your fathers knew well the French, and when you was a little boy, you have, I am sure, often visited them.
Brother! The talk (at this time) is not straight between the United States and Spain; but I hope no mischief will ensue, for a council fire is now burning, and the beloved men of the two nations are endeavoring to settle the dispute. But if it should so happen that the Americans must bid their swords to leap from the scabbard, we wish not your tomahawk to rise. When white people enter into disputes let the red men keep quiet, and join neither side.
Brother! These are my words; I speak in the face of day. And tell what you have heard to the traveller and to the hunter, so that the good talk may pass from mouth to mouth, and from nation to nation, to the very place where the sun sets!
To which address (after the usual solemnity of smoking the pipe) the chief returned the following answer:
"I AM highly gratified at meeting to-day with your excellency and so respectable a number of American officers, and shall forever remember the words you have spoken.
"I have heard, before, the words of the president, though not from his own mouth:
his words are always the same; but what I have this day heard will cause me to sleep more in peace.
"Your words resemble the words my forefathers have told me they used to receive from the French in ancient times. My ancestors from chief to chief were always well pleased with the French; they were well received and well treated by them when they met to hold talks together, and we can now say the same of you, our new friends.
"If your nation has purchased what the French formerly possessed, you have purchased the country that we occupy, and we regard you in the same light as we did them.
"You request that our wars in future may be against the deer only. That is what we ourselves desire, and happen what will, our hands shall never be stained with white men's blood.
"Your words which I have this day heard shall be imprinted on my heart—They shall never be forgotten; but shall be communicated from one another, till they shall reach the setting sun: It shall be remembered that Americans are friends to the Red people.
"My Father was a chief: I did not succeed him till I was a man in years: I am now in his place and will endeavor to do my duty, and see that not only my own nation, but other nations over whom I have influence, shall properly conduct themselves.
"I think I have now but one enemy (the Osages) but I believe that will be an eternal one, for it is my belief that it has pleased God to give me that enemy, as it may be between you and Spain.
The other day when I saw the Spaniards one side of me, and your people on the other, I was embarrassed; I did not know on which foot to tread: but I am now satisfied, your words have removed my suspense: some other nations felt the same, but they shall hear of your words: they shall go from nation to nation.
"I shall now return home with my people, and pursue our hunting with much more satisfaction, from what I heard from you: although the color of my skin is red my heart is white, and whenever your people come into our town, they shall be treated by us with all the friendship and kindness in our power to bestow, for although I am poor, I am always well treated whenever I come amongst them.
"I have nothing further to add, only to assure you, that your speech to me is as well recorded in my heart, as what I have said to you is by your pen."
(Orleans Gazette.)
From the PEOPLE'S FRIEND.
ANTICIPATION.
Of a Message now preparing at the seat of government.
FELLOW CITIZENS,
IT is with heartfelt satisfaction I have again the pleasure of meeting the representatives of the American people, for the purpose of deliberating upon such measures as may tend to promote the happiness and secure the tranquility of a free and independent nation, and who, coming from all parts of our widely extended country, bring with them the sense of the people on our "extrinsic" relations and domestic "concernments."
And here let me congratulate you on our cities having escaped through the blessing of Providence and the salutary applications of a vigilant police from the dreadful ravages of the malady which had so long threatened to desolate the "fairest portion of America."
The sword is again unhappily unsheathed on the European continent, and those who might well have calculated on the repose of the world, and that the arteries of human blood had been taken up by wholesale and pacific compacts, find the stream again ordered to flow, and their well grounded expectations frustrated by the occurrence of circumstances which they could neither have calculated on nor foreseen.
Nor have these "occasions of disorder" confined themselves to their legitimate "locality," but by an unjustifiable diffusion, have unfortunately extended themselves to our peaceful country. Our merchants have been plundered, and certain portions of our coasts blockaded by those who could have had no inducement to their violence, but such as might be derived from a consciousness of our inability to repel it. Our citizens have been destroyed when in the peaceable discharge of their lawful avocations. To prevent these outrages I issued my proclamation requiring the apprehension of such of those violators of our pacific system, as could be effected
by the ordinary means of arrestation, and to bring them before the constituted authorities for condemnation. This order, however, was not effectively attended to; but I have the pleasure to state, that they have retired of their own accord, and a negotiation for the termination of those differences which may have led to these incursions, is in the progress of amicable adjustment.
Nor have these outrages been those only of which we have a well grounded complaint. In consequence of a proclamation which I had issued to resist by force, any attempt which might be made to occupy a part of the territory ceded to us by the convention of 1803, until an amicable negotiation should identify those boundaries which had become the subject of uncertainty, one of the foreign nations who had supposed its interests to be implicated, has ordered out an army of 7000 men, which has entrenched itself in the very spot from whence one of their detachments had been before expelled. In order, however, to avert any calamity, I have directed the commanding officer on our station not to enforce for the present, the terms of my proclamation, but to endeavor to prevail on the adverse party to wait until the meeting of congress, when such measures would be pursued, as would be most proper as to them, and most agreeable as to myself. If, however, their impatience for a premature decision has occasioned a contrary appeal, I have ordered col. Cushing to hold himself in readiness with five hundred men under his command, to repel any unjustifiable aggressions.
If this force should be deemed insufficient it will be assisted by all the New Orleans militia, and as there are 1600 inhabitants in that place it may be reasonably concluded that it could furnish not less than 150 effective and perhaps well disposed men.
With respect to our negotiation on the subject of the Floridas, I am sorry to state that some obstacles have prevented its completion, it will be with the wisdom of the national legislature to say, whether these obstacles can consistently with sound policy be removed, or whether they should be referred to a less amicable and perhaps equally expensive appeal. As I suppose the subject will be confidentially discussed my secretary will furnish you with such documents as may be necessary to its illustration. And I could wish that the mode of deliberation here suggested might meet your assent, as it would perhaps be improper to endanger a liability to misapprehension on the part of those who most probably may not have an opportunity of being informed of the data which were made the basis of the negotiation.
And here I will take the occasion to remark that it has been said the power alluded to has so unhappily mistaken its own interest as to continue a diplomatic functionary whose very extraneous officiousness has created a disposition on the part of the administration to have his functions exercised by some other agent. His letters of credence however, is a matter of surmise only, as no audience has taken place, and his letters on the subject remain unopened in the post office at Washington. The sagacity of congress will readily perceive the prudence and policy of this proceeding.
With respect to another power, to whose magnanimity and forbearance so much credit was not given by some respectable but unreflecting citizens among us, it is to be hoped, that alarms so unnecessarily entertained, will now be dispensed with as the present aspect of affairs on the European continent would not warrant their continuance. If however we should be unhappily constrained which would be entirely contrary to our wishes and our hopes, of engaging in an unprofitable and inhuman contest, it is with congress to consider whether the existing establishments are or are not equal to any supposable exigence of a future crisis; whether the Atlantic fortifications should be strengthened—whether the number of gun boats should be increased, and whether the army under col. Cushing may not be sufficient for the protection of the interior.
Keeping however always in view the relative magnitude of the injuries which would be sustained, admitting the legitimacy of the apprehension alluded to compared with those which might be expected to proceed from an attempt to prevent them—examining whether the assumption of a frowning and offensive attitude might not be productive of a more unpleasant result, than patiently submitting to the transfer of those who are supposed to be possessed of anti-revolutionary tendencies, and whether the appearance of severity towards those who have always treated us honorably, may not be a better
means of securing their moderation and good will.
Our force at New York already consists of nearly 100 men, besides officers, and two officers and 6 men, to one officer and upwards of 20 men. The other seaports have also been guarded in a ratio corresponding with their relative importance and exposure.
No advices have been received from Tunis, but I am of opinion that the disposition of that regency is not hostile. It is the close of the last session, which as interposing fact would authorize a departure from. But the wisdom of congress will not be at loss to justify the expression of this alarm, as it was the salutary means of keeping open the Mediterranean fund, which could be employed to the satisfaction of adventitious contingencies, without increasing the amount of specific appropriations, or particularizing, destinations of the public monies which might be deemed unliq. by those who, not having a full view of the subject, cannot be supposed to be so well apprized of the propriety of their application.
The amount of unlocated land in the territory of Louisiana has not been so great as some among us had expected; the valuable parts have generally been anticipated by foreign locations, and those which remain to our benefit are for the most part flooded with water, so as to defeat the contemplations of agricultural settlement. But this inconvenience might perhaps be superseded by cutting a canal through the country from the Pacific ocean to the Mississippi, which would answer the double purpose of drawing off the occasion of this impediment, and of diverting the fur trade from the borders of Russia to the American markets on the Mississippi.
These subjects, fellow citizens, together with the propriety of preserving the liberty of the press by confining its expansions within a more justifiable limit than it has unfortunately extended to, and of supplying any deficiencies in this respect to which you may think our penal code subjected, and all that the executive section of our government is at present prepared to submit to your deliberation. I shall always be pleased to co-operate in any measure which, having an economical foundation, may also have a salutary effect in promoting our mutual advantage, and I pray you citizen representatives, to accept my salutations, and the cordial assurances of my high respect.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
KINGSTON, (J.m.) Oct. 3.
His majesty's brig Ferret, of 18 guns, the honorable captain Cadogan, came into Port Royal late on Wednesday evening. We are concerned to state that during her cruise off Laguia, the crew mutinied, rose upon the officers, and endeavored to obtain possession of the vessel while they were below, but, by the gallant and intrepid conduct of captain Cadogan, who fortunately succeeded in getting upon deck, instantly followed by his officers, and aided by the whole of the marines soon compelled the mutineers to lay down their arms, who it seems made but little resistance on being commanded to do so by the captain, when he and the officers had got upon deck. No lives were lost, nor a single person wounded. The bosun, and twelve of the crew, who were the principal ringleaders, were immediately put in irons. It was the intention of the mutineers, had they succeeded in carrying their infamous purposes into execution, to have taken the Ferret into Laguia.
Captain Lidlie, of the Columbian army, who returned in the Ferret, was put on board the Galatea one of Miranda's vessels, at Aruba. The general still continued at that island with his force, but had little hope, it appears, of succeeding in his enterprise: the general we fear was too sanguine: his means of attaining the laudable object he had in view were altogether insignificant, which must have disheartened those who had flattered him with their immediate aid and support, and, from the want of whose assistance all his hopes and expectations of succeeding must have been at once frustrated.
September 29.
Late accounts from a neighboring colony state that the insurgents there had recently an engagement with general Ferrand, in which they received a very severe repulse, from four to five thousand of their men having been killed and wounded during the contest. Dispatches are likewise said to have arrived there from France, expressing the most ardent wish of the emperor Napoleon to have good order and tranquility re-established, for which purpose

It was stated, that every succor with troops should be afforded them, and that one of the branches of the imperial family was to be nominated to the government of the colony. This it was generally supposed would be "Notre frere Jerome," an appointment no doubt more consonant and agreeable to his feelings, and where he runs less risk of either his life or being made a prisoner, than that of his recent "hair breadth escape" while on board a French man of war.
September 30. We understand vice admiral Dacres has received a letter from sir Richard J. Strachan, which was put on board the American schooner Four Sisters arrived yesterday, dated on board the Cesar, September 1, off Bermuda, which states that his squadron had encountered a very severe hurricane, on the 19th August, off Haba-gada, that dispersed the whole of them, and the only ship in company with him then was the Triumph of 74 guns, she had lost her mainmast and sprung her foremast; the Terrible of 74 guns was totally dismasted, and left in charge of the Decade frigate. In regard to the fate of the rest of the squadron, sir Richard is said to have been totally ignorant.
October 4. His majesty's ship Veteran of 64 guns, captain A. F. Evans, which sailed on the 28th July, as convoy to the homeward bound fleet, to a certain latitude, and afterwards to call at Bermuda, arrived yesterday at Port Royal.
By the Veteran we have obtained a very disastrous account of the July fleet. It appears that on the 21st August, lat. 29 50, long. 78 31, a tremendous hurricane commenced, and continued with unremitted violence until the morning of the 22d, at which time 11 of the fleet were perceived making signals of distress; every assistance was immediately rendered them, by manning the boats, when they fortunately succeeded in saving the crews of the brigs Concord and Ann of London, and ship Achilles of Glasgow, which vessels we lament to say, with the ships Pallax, Herculean, Forty Second, Rashleigh, African, Erin, James (of Liverpool) and Coverdale, immediately after went down, and it is feared every soul on board of them perished. On the 23d the weather moderated, when only 22 sail were collected, and proceeded under protection of the Penguin brig of 18 guns, captain Smith. Twenty four sail were then missing, supposed to have separated during the hurricane. On the 30th the Veteran fell in with the Franchise frigate, one of the convoy, under jury masts, intending to proceed home. The Magicienne frigate, captain Mackenzie, the commander of the convoy, was forced to put into Bermuda, in a very damaged state, but had sailed again for England previous to the Veteran's leaving that place. The Barbara sutter was dispatched from Bermuda by captain Evans, to apprise the lords of the admiralty of the melancholy fate of the fleet.
NEW YORK, November 2. By the Melpomene, captain Daubeny, from Amsterdam, we have received a Dutch paper of the 6th September, containing the following important article.
SCHIEDAM, September 6. The prices of gin in this city were to day fixed on change as follows: Gin. London proof £14 3 4 Do. Amsterdam proof £15 8 9 Intelligence received from Berlin mentions the following particulars: "At length peace with Sweden is restored. Our troops in Pomerania have another destination. It is said that the king of Sweden has even made us an offer of his army, on which lieutenant colonel Krusemark was dispatched to him. Every thing here has assumed the face of war. Our whole army is in motion. A large number of horses for the artillery is put in requisition, and are arrived here from the country. We have four grand armies, viz. two in Silesia, one near Sagau and one near Bunzlau; two others are near Landsberg on the Var, and one near Halle, the latter of which is 7000 men strong. The citadel of Magdeburg is putting in the best possible state of defence. The depots battalions are completing. Recruits are daily arriving. As to the sentiments of Russia, various reports are in circulation. The reigning duke of Brunswick is here; and prince Hohenlohe Ingelssinger, general of the infantry, is expected here momentarily, to receive his instructions. All the grenadier battalions are to hold themselves in marching readiness; and if found necessary, there will be a levy en masse. The garrisons of this city and Potsdam are ordered to hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's notice."
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4. The ship Wooddrop Sims, arrived in the Delaware, from Lymington (Eng.) which she left on the 17th of Sept. brings intelligence from London to the 15th. Her letters and papers have not reached the city—but verbal information positively states the Mr. Fox was dead.
NORFOLK, October 29. Yesterday arrived here from Cadiz, the schooner Eliza Anne, Herbert. Captain H. has favored us with a Gibraltar paper of the 6th of September, but it contains nothing worthy of notice. Left Cadiz the 16th September. In the Eliza Ann came several French gentlemen, who were put on board the Cambrian frigate; these gentlemen report that the following vessels have been captured by the Cambrian and Bellona, between the 22d and 26th of October:
By the Cambrian—Ship Enterprise, Patterson, from Bordeaux, sent to Halifax; ship Messenger, Ledet, of New York, from Guadalupe; schooner Aspasia, from Cayenne to Boston. By the Bellona; ship Polly, of New York from Guadalupe.
DUEL—On Tuesday morning a duel took place near Gosport, between Messrs. Otley and Connell, first and second lieutenants of his Britannic majesty's ship Chichester, now repairing at said place; when the former was shot through the head and expired on the spot. Mr. Connell and the seconds have decamped.
Something remarkable.—The passengers impressed from on board the Charles Carter, by the Cambrian frigate, were next day liberated, and put with some French prisoners, on board the schr. Eliza Ann, capt. Herbert arrived here on Thursday from Cadiz.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6.
Extract of a letter from New York to a gentleman in this Town, dated the 3d of Nov 1806. "We just have accounts by mail from Boston, bringing London dates to the 15th of September, stating the death of Mr. Fox on the 14th, and also Lord Shelburne. The capture of Buenos Ayres is confirmed.—170,000 of Dollars had been sent home in the frigate.—Lord Lauderdale still at Paris, and no peace made!"
The honorable DAVID M. ERSKINE, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majesty to the United States, was on Monday received by the Secretary of State, and by him presented to the President of the United States.
On the same day, ANTHONY MERRY, Esq. late Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the same court, took leave of the President. (Nat. Int.)
A gentleman just arrived from Washington, whose veracity and correctness may be relied on, reports, that a letter had been received at that place, by a Mr. Henderson, employed in the navy yard, from his brother, resident in Kentucky, stating that, in consequence of a commotion of the people, who had declared that country independent, he was about to remove his family to Culpepper in Virginia.
The serious nature of this report forbids us to repeat the names of the persons implicated as leaders, until the authenticity of the report is fully ascertained. It is by no means improbable that the following rumour is connected with this important intelligence, the substance of which we are told had occupied the executive of the United States, convened in council, during four days of the last week. (Phil. Reg.)
It appears by the Jamaica papers per the Philanthropist, that General Miranda had been re-inforced by La Seine frigate, on board of which vessel he had embarked, & had sailed with his armament from Aruba for Curacoa, and thence to Barbadoes, in hopes of obtaining more adherents, to attempt, once more, his meditated scheme.

Extract of a letter from Tangier, August 22, 1806.
"On the 20th instant the schooner Mediator of Baltimore, James Hollis, master, of six carriage guns and seventeen men, bound from that port for Malta, with a cargo of West India produce, was anchored in this bay by two Gibraltar privateers. Off Sarrah they had an action in which captain Hollis and two seamen were wounded. On board the privateer five men were
wounded. They proceeded yesterday for Gibraltar."
H. W. Bentinck, lieutenant governor of Essequibo, Demerara, &c. has given notice, under date of the 10th August last, that a Beacon is about to be erected on the east coast of the colony, to leeward of Mahaica, to prevent vessels sailing to leeward of the river—and that merchant ships or vessels arriving in said colonies, from and after the first day in December next, shall pay to the receiver of the colony chest, a rate of six stivers, for each ton of their burthen, for the purpose of keeping this Beacon or permanent land mark in repair.
The London Star, of September 12, contains the following:
A work, highly interesting to the public, is now in the press and will appear shortly, entitled "Negotiations with America," containing a collection of important tracts on the Navigation and Colonial System of Great-Britain, which will include the two reports of the board of trade in 1784, and 1901, on the intercourse between America and the British West-India Islands, &c. The proceedings of the society of ship owners of Great-Britain, and several other valuable papers on the present state of the navigation of the country, and the greater depression of the British shipping, &c.—Also in the press, and will be published at the same time, uniformly with the above, the Debates in Parliament since one thousand seven hundred eighty two, on the navigation and colonial system of G. Britain on the temporary and permanent bills relating to the trade of America with the British dominions, and in particular the debates on the West-India intercourse bills of last session, which will be given more in detail than in any other publication—with an Appendix, containing all the official papers on the subject, the memorials from the British colonies in America, &c. and an introduction.
These volumes are brought forward at this most critical juncture, in order that the public attention may be directed to the imperative necessity of maintaining, in future, inviolably, the colonial system of Great-Britain, and which has become of infinitely higher importance to the nation, from the mischievous and ruinous consequences which have resulted from the impolitic concessions already made to neutrals of all denominations, but especially to those of the United States of America.
From the United States Gazette. COMMUNICATION.
The Aurora of this morning contains an elaborate essay respecting the extent and boundaries of Louisiana. Whether this essay is the production of a military character on the western waters, as it is supposed, or from the pen of a diplomatic one on the banks of the Potomack, is of very little amount. What is of real interest to the country is to possess a thorough knowledge of the question. However flattering may be to the national pride, the brilliant display of so glowing a picture, there is a consideration of the utmost weight, and worthy of the particular regard of a virtuous government, and of a virtuous people. This consideration is that immediately arising from the pure principles of justice. If it is intended that the public should be acquainted with the basis of our pretensions, and the motives of our dissatisfaction with Spain, the accounts upon this head should not be partial but complete. They should exhibit the answers of Spain to the demands of our government. Why are they so carefully concealed? Why is not the correspondence between Mr. Monroe and the government of Spain brought to light? The principles of justice are too familiar in this country to induce any one to form any decision on an ex-parte evidence. Let the whole of the communications between our American negotiators at Madrid and the Spanish secretary of state, be laid before the public; then, and not till then, we shall be able to form a correct opinion respecting the true extent and the true boundaries of Louisiana. On the perusal of the essay published in the Aurora, a legal and wise maxim occurred to my mind, and folding up the paper I said to myself—Audi alteram partem. Oct. 23.
THOMAS JEFFERSON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
To all whom it may concern: WHEREAS, Mr. Anthony Morales received from me as consul of the Batavian Republic to the United States, to reside at Charleston in South Carolina, an Exequatur bearing date the third day of May last, and it being no longer expedient that the said Anthony Morales should be permitted to continue in the exercise and enjoyment of the functions, powers and privileges authorised by the said exequatur: These are to declare that I no longer recognize the said Anthony Morales as consul as aforesaid, in any part of the United
States, nor permit him to enjoy any of the said functions, powers or privileges, and that I hereby wholly revoke and annul the said exequatur heretofore given, and declare the same absolutely null from this day forward.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents, at the city of Washington, the 1st day of November, 1806, and of the independence of the United States the 31st.
Signed, (Seal) By the president. Signed, JAMES MADISON, Secretary of State.

Fifty Dollars Reward.
ON the night of Tuesday the 14th instant, a negro man, named BEN, the property of the subscriber, broke the jail of Prince George's county, where he had been put for security, and made his escape; in his escape he was accompanied by a white man of the name of EARL, who had been committed for robbery. Earl said he was a sea-faring man, a native of Philadelphia, that his father had been sailing master of the United States ship Congress, whilst under the command of Captain Decatur, and is now commodore of the gun boats stationed off New Orleans. He is about 5 feet 10 inches high, slender made, about 24 or 25 years old, and has light brown or sandy colored hair. I think it is probable he may carry Ben with him and pass him as his slave until he has an opportunity of selling him. Whilst in jail Earl's clothing was a blue India cotton seaman's jacket, and trousers of the same. Ben is a shoemaker and gardener by trade, he is also a tanner, and can be a very expert house servant—he is about 30 years of age, and from 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 8 inches high, stout and square built, has very woolly hair, red eyes, flat nose, and a black complexion—he is a fellow of considerable address and great plausibility, disposed to be rather pettish and impudent, especially when intoxicated, but is easily reduced to submission. I will give a reward of Thirty Dollars to any person who will secure him in any jail so that I may get him again, or to any person who will apprehend him and bring him to me I will give a reward as follows: if taken 100 miles or upwards from home I will give 50 dollars, if taken from 40 to 100 miles from home I will give 40 dollars, or if taken within 40 miles of this place I will give 30 dollars, besides defraying reasonable expenses in bringing him home.
All masters of vessels and others are hereby forewarned from harboring, employing or carrying off said Negroes, as I will prosecute whoever shall do so with the utmost rigor of law.

Ten Dollars Reward.
ON Tuesday morning the 21st inst. cloped from the plantation of the subscriber, JAMES, a likely young negro fellow; about five feet six or eight inches high; of dark complexion; frowning countenance; and has on his left temple a scar from a burn about the size and shape of a spot in the suit of spades. He has very little clothing with him but what he has on, which is a dark colored surcoat, with some inferior under clothing, much worn. James was purchased out of Bullet's estate, where he had several connexions, bond and free—His mother Nelly, a free woman, resides in Dumfries; his brother, a free man, at Stafford court-house, as ostler; and I am told that in Alexandria he has several free brothers, who occasionally go by water. It is most likely that if he is not lurking about Mr. Stephen French's, of this county, where he has a wife, he will try to get to Alexandria with his free brothers and pass for a free man too. I therefore strictly forewarn all persons whatsoever from harboring or taking off said fellow at their peril. I would particularly thank all constables and patrollers under whose notice this advertisement comes, to be very strict in examining all negroes who are going about without notes or passes from their masters, and whoever will apprehend JAMES & bring him home, or secure him in any jail, and forward notice so that I get him again, shall receive, if in the county or neighborhood, 2 dollars, or the above reward if taken in Alexandria, or out of the state.
