STATEMENT
Of the principal causes which lost the battle of Austerlitz to the allies, extracted from a detailed narrative of that important battle, published in one of our latest London papers:
IT will not have escaped military men, that the following are the principle causes which lost the battle to the allies: the inaccurate notions which they held with regard to the French army; the bad plan of attack which they pursued, supposing that army to be entrenched in a position which it did not occupy; the movement executed on the evening before the battle, and in sight of the enemy, to advance upon the right of the French; the great distance between the columns when they quitted the heights of Pratzen, and their want of mutual communication, these were the first misfortunes of the Austro-Russian army. But in spite of these great faults there might have been a mode of restoring the chances in favor of the allies, if the second and third columns had been less anxious about their own dispositions, and more about those of the enemy, who by a bold movement absolutely overthrew the basis on which the plan of attack had been calculated; and if in short, the first column, instead of retiring by way of Aujest, had marched to the aid of the second and third, and with them, or least with their remains, had advanced against the heights which the French only occupied precariously, as long as the left of the allies was not in a state of rout, and while the extremity of their right, which only made public demonstrations, was at Posorzitz.
We do not speak here of the losses of the two armies at the battle of Austerlitz. It is impossible even for persons in the field of battle to compute exactly the number of killed and wounded on both sides.
The battle of the second of December was very bloody. The few Austrians who still remained, were not united in any one point, but conducted themselves on all points with well supported valor, only the 6 battalions of the regiments of Wurmbrand and of Reuss Gratz were in a state of rout, when the fourth column was beaten. The Russians at the commencement fought with intrepidity; the guards and Halban above all were distinguished for their courage.
The French infantry manoeuvred with coolness and precision, fought with audacity, and executed their bold movements with great concert. After useless efforts, vacillation was introduced into the Russian battalions; disorder and rout followed the imprudence of the second and third columns. The fourth column abandoned a part of their artillery; the first, second, and third columns lost all theirs, the corps of General Kienmayer excepted, which saved its artillery. The cannon stuck fast in the mire; and the Russian horses, more adapted for the chase than for draught, could not drag them from the clayey soil into which they sank.
The number of Russian prisoners may be computed at 15,000; that of the killed and wounded must have been considerable. There must also, as in the case of similar misfortunes, have been many of the soldiers of the allies dispersed. The loss of the French must likewise have been great; the fire at the commencement of the action was too severe not to have destroyed a number of men; but still this diminution of the French forces was not to be compared to that of the allies. The Generals killed, wounded, or taken prisoners, are known.
The 3d and 4th of December.
The Austro-Russian army had such difficulty of subsisting upon the line of operation which it had taken up since its offensive movements, that it was compelled to abandon that line in its retreat, and direct its march towards Hungary. The allies quitted, after midnight, the position of Hoditz, and marched for Cheitsch, where they arrived in the morning of the third of December. The column of Doctorow arrived on its route to Hungary, at Niskowitz, where it found General Kienmayer then forming the rear guard of the allies.
This Russian column continued its march to rejoin the army at Czetsch; but during the night it was deprived of great numbers, who lost themselves in the woods and villages. The Austrian cavalry who had protected the retreat of this wreck of the left of the combined army, and who formed part of the corps of Kienmayer, halted at Niskowitz. Prince Bagration was a league behind that Austrian corps, occupying the heights of Urschutz. Between Niskowitz and Urschutz, there was an extensive wood, by which the French
could turn and surround the corps of Kienmayer, which was pushed too far in advance. He therefore halted in that position only the necessary time to give the stragglers of the army, as well as some equipments, an opportunity to file upon Urschutz, and to watch the movements of the French. When those who in the morning had entered Austerlitz marched forward, general Kienmayer fell back upon Prince Bagration, and formed in front of Samschitz the support of that corps. A detachment of light horse of O'Reilly, with some Cossacks were sent to Stanitz to watch that route. The corps of M. de Meerfeldt had received orders to retire from Lundenburg towards Goeding, to observe the left and chiefly the two routes of Auspitz and Nickolsburg.
On the 3d of December, the French army advanced in the following manner: The cavalry of Prince Murat had pushed its detachments to Rausnitz and Wischau: it followed that route, made an immense booty, advanced beyond Prosnitz, and then directed large detachments to Krem-sin.
Marshal Lannes followed the same route, and then took to his right to bear upon the right of the allies by Butchowitz and Stantz. Marshals Soult and Bernadotte, the imperial guards, and the reserve of the grenadiers, after the emperor Napoleon had been informed of the line of march of the allies, were placed on the route to Hungary, but only advanced slowly: probably to give to the extremity of the right of the army time to gain ground upon the left of the allies.
Marshal Davoust marched upon the left flank of the Austro-Russian army, by the route of Nickolsburg, where was the division of Gudin, and by the route of Auspitz, where was the remainder of that corps; the two routes united at the distance of half a league from Goeding.
Prince Bagration had placed some posts forward in the wood of Urschutz. About two in the afternoon the French reconnoitred it, made themselves masters of the wood, and established themselves as far as its limits. A skirmish then took place, which lasted for two hours, in which General Bagration maintained his position; but he quitted it in the evening, retired towards Czetsch, and Kienmayer placed himself in advance, upon the heights of Nasadowitz, pushing his advanced posts to Urschutz.
On the 4th of December, the allied army passed the March, and was at Hollitsch, where it arrived greatly diminished in strength, and with very few soldiers to place in line, particularly when compared with the opposing army. The emperor Alexander lodged at the castle of Hollitsch; the emperor of Germany remained at Oczersich, to be in readiness for the approaching interview with the emperor of the French.
There was to be an armistice from the break of day of the 5th. The prince of Lichtenstein had returned the evening before from the head quarters of the emperor Napoleon with this news; but the advanced guard, probably, not having received orders to that effect, made an attack, early in the morning, on the posts of Kienmayer, who remained upon the heights of Nasadowitz. Prince Bagration then retired behind Czetsch. However, this misunderstanding and the fire soon ceased; a suspension of hostilities took place, and a space of about half a league was left between the advanced posts of the two armies. The French had advanced towards, and taken a position, in several lines, between Damberschutz and Samschitz, in front of Urschutz.
The two emperors Francis II and Napoleon, then held, at a little distance from the village of Nasadowitz, near a mill, by the side of the great road, and in the open air, the famous interview which established peace between the two empires. The conversation of these two sovereigns lasted a considerable time: the emperor of Germany afterwards returned to Czetsch, where he arrived in the evening, and informed his ally of the result of that interview. An Austrian general was to set out immediately for that purpose to Hollitsch; and general Savary, first aid-de-camp to the emperor Napoleon, was appointed by his sovereign to follow the emperor Francis, and then to continue his course with the general who was commissioned to go to Hollitsch. General Savary was to stop the march of Davoust's division, provided the Russian emperor agreed to the conditions of the armistice; and the Austrian general was then to accompany Savary, in order to apprize the corps of Meerfeldt of the armistice. General Stutterheim was chosen by his sovereign for this commission. These generals arrived at Hollitsch about midnight, when they were introduced to the emperor Alexander, who received them with kindness, and did not oppose the armistice. They immediately set out for the corps of Meerfeldt, and to stop that of Davoust, the former of which they met, at two in the morning, in retreat to Goeding. M. de Meerfeldt was to protect the left of the Russian army, but he had under his orders only about 4000 infantry and 600 horse, it was therefore impossible for him to arrest
the march of the right of the French army. The two generals found Davoust at Josephdorf, about four o'clock in the morning. The advanced guard of general Gudin was at Nasdorf. In consequence of what had been agreed upon between the emperors Francis and Napoleon, all the troops remained on the spot where they had received orders to cease hostilities. On the morrow the prince of Lichtenstein returned to Austerlitz, to settle a line of demarcation during the armistice which preceded the peace between Austria and France.
On the same 4th of December on which the suspension of hostilities took place, the archduke Ferdinand, who could not have advanced and watch the Bavarians posted at Ingolstadt, after the departure of Bernadotte, in order to keep general Wrede in check, attacked them with some troops of his corps, and drove them from Ingolstadt, which he occupied.
The archduke Charles, obliged to retreat after the incredible catastrophe of the army of Germany, after having at Caldiero deprived the French army of Italy of the power of annoying him, arrived in Hungary with his army wholly preserved.
The Austrian troops fought well, whenever their commanders chose that they should combat, but it would be equally false as rash, to impute to them the misfortunes of the war of 1805. Then, as on all other occasions, that army was distinguished for its courage, its devotion, its constancy in bearing unheard of privations, and its blind obedience. It was at Ulm that these troops, the victims of Mack, underwent the heart-rending fate which destroyed the army of Germany. At Ulm, many regiments, who had not drawn a trigger, were obliged to surrender, in consequence of the operations and by the command of Mack, who chose to bury himself in Ulm, who ought to die every where else, and who yet lives.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, November 14.
Latest Foreign Intelligence.
By the ship Richard, captain Rogers, from Nantes, we have completed our file of Paris papers to the 23d of September inclusive. They breathe throughout a spirit of hostility, being occupied principally with the "divine note of preparation" over the whole of the European continent for a recommencement of war.
In the translation we have made for the Mercantile Advertiser (which, with the following brief abstract, comprise the most prominent features of the intelligence) we have given a preference to the celebrated treaty between France and Russia, which the emperor Alexander refused to ratify. Other articles, of minor consequence, are on hand, and shall appear hereafter.
When the treaty of d'Oubril was received at St. Petersburg, the emperor removed a council of state, expressly for the purpose of submitting to their judgment this act of pacification. The treaty being compared with the instructions, it appeared to the council that M. d'Oubril had not only deviated from his orders, but that he acted in direct opposition to the letter & spirit of the mission with which he had been charged. The imperial council, inspired by a common sentiment for the honor of their country, agreed with his majesty that this act ought not to obtain the supreme ratification. Notice thereof was immediately sent by the emperor to the French government, at the same time expressing a disposition to renew the negotiations upon other bases.
The consequence has been that France, Holland, Russia, Prussia, Sweden and the confederation of the Rhine are actively employed in measures for a renewal of hostilities with a vigor perhaps unprecedented even in the annals of modern warfare.
Nor is Austria an idle looker on. The force she maintains, of which the archduke Charles is generalissimo, is composed of 8 field marshals, 31 generals of cavalry, 117 lieutenant generals, 272 major generals, 64 regiments of infantry of the line, 56 other regiments of different descriptions, besides corps of bombardiers, miners, &c.
All the corps of the national army of Holland have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march to the camp at Zeist at a moment's notice.
Recruiting is vigorously carrying on in all the provinces of Bavaria.
The camp at Mendon had not broke up on the 25th of September. Such a measure was expected to take place daily; and it is given, as a report, in one of our Paris papers, that the soldiers who compose this camp received on the 17th leave of absence for the last time previous to their marching towards Germany. The regiments of foot composing the emperor's body guard had left Paris in light waggons for the Rhine, where an immense army was assembling, and it was expected would reach that river in a few days. Their post at the palace of

the Thuilleries was filled by the dragoons of the empress.
Intelligence from St. Petersburg announces the expected speedy departure of several armed vessels and frigates for Corfu.
The English, it is said, have debarked between Terracina and Gaeta about 500 men, all of whom were entirely destroyed.
Letters from Madrid of the 8th of August, mention that the king had given orders for an army of 40,000 men to hold themselves in readiness to march. It is thought this order was in consequence of the entrance of the English into the Tagus.
A gentleman who came passenger in the Richard is the bearer of dispatches from the American minister at Paris to the secretary of state.
Lord Lauderdale was at Paris on the 25th of Sept.
Paris, 18th Sept.
The courier Basilio arrived here from London the day before yesterday. Negotiations are still going on. Indisposition has for the last few days confined Lord Lauderdale to his house.
23d September.
We are assured that his eminence cardinal Maury, who has been admitted among the number of French cardinals, is appointed first almoner to his imperial highness prince Jerome Bonaparte.
24th September.
This day the conservative assise has held an extraordinary sitting. It is believed that the object of his majesty's message has been to make known to the senate the marriage concluded between his imperial highness prince Jerome and a princess royal of Wittenberg. It is added that at the end of the message two letters were read; one to the prince primate of the confederation of the Rhine, making known to him the emperor's intention to support the confederation with all the forces of France; the other to the king of Bavaria, announcing that, notwithstanding many court intrigues, his majesty hopes still to preserve peace with Prussia; but that, should that power not return a prompt and categorical answer to the explanations which have been demanded, he will be ready to enter Germany with 300,000.
They write from Toulon that an order has been received in that city to construct twelve sail of the line. The funds have arrived, and a part of the vessels is already in the stocks.

Petersburgh, 20th August.
Government has inserted the following official articles in a supplement to the Court Gazette, published yesterday.
"The counsellor of state, Pierre d'Oubril, departing early in the month of May for Paris, to succor the Russian prisoners, received at the same time instructions for the occasion which might present itself to effect a reconciliation between France and Russia. He has returned hither with extraordinary diligence, bearing a treaty of peace which he had concluded and signed on the 20th July with general Clarke, plenipotentiary of the French government.
"As much as that event would have been agreeable to his imperial majesty, if this treaty had been suitable to his majesty's dignity, to his engagements with his allies, to the safety of his subjects, and to the general repose of Europe; so much the more has it been disagreeable to him to see that in no respect have his just and benevolent intentions been answered.
"This treaty is of the following tenor: "Art. 1. From the date hereof there shall be perpetual peace and good friendship between his majesty the emperor of Russia and his majesty the emperor of the French, king of Italy, their heirs and successors, estates, and subjects.
"2. In execution of the first article, hostilities both by land and sea shall immediately cease between the two nations. The necessary orders to this effect shall in consequence be forwarded in twenty-four hours from the signing of this treaty. All ships of war and other vessels belonging to either power, or to their subjects, may be taken in any part of the world by the subjects of the other, shall be restored to the right owners.
"3. The Russian troops shall give up to the French the country known by the name of the mouths of the Cattaro, which, being a dependence on Dalmatia, apper-
tains to his majesty the emperor of the French, in his quality of king of Italy, agreeably to the 4th article of the treaty of Presburgh. There shall be furnished to the Russian troops every possible facility for their departure from both the mouths of Cattaro and the Ragusan territory, the country of the Montenegrins and from Dalmatia, wherever the circumstances of the war may have placed them. Immediately after the treaty shall be made known, the military and naval commandants of both nations shall make in concert the necessary dispositions both for the retreat of the troops and for the surrender of the territory.
"4. His majesty the emperor of the French, king of Italy, desirous of giving a proof of his conciliatory disposition, consents, 1. That the republic of Ragusa shall be restored to its former independence, on condition that it shall be as heretofore under the direction of the Ottoman Porte; 2d, that no act of hostility shall take place, from the day of the date of the present treaty, against the Montenegrins whilst they remain peaceable subjects of the Ottoman Porte. They shall be obliged to return immediately to their own firesides; and the emperor Napoleon promises not to disquiet them, and that no enquiry shall be made respecting the part they have taken in the hostilities against Ragusa, her dependencies, and the adjacent country.
"The independence of the republic of the Seven Isles is acknowledged by the two powers. The Russian troops who may be at present in the Mediterranean shall form a junction at the Ionian Isles. His majesty the emperor of Russia, to give a proof of his pacific intentions, shall not maintain more than 4000 men of his troops, which however shall, depart from thence as soon as his imperial majesty shall deem it expedient.
"6. It is promised on both sides that nothing shall be done to injure the independence of the Ottoman Porte; and the two high contracting parties reciprocally engage to maintain that power in the integrity of its possessions.
"7. Immediately after in conformity to the present convention of peace, the order for the evacuation of the mouths of the Cattaro by the Russian troops shall have been given, the French troops shall retire from Germany. His majesty the emperor Napoleon declares that in less than 3 months after the signing of the present treaty the French troops shall have all re-entered France.
"8. The two courts promise to interpose their good offices for procuring peace between Prussia and Sweden.
"9. The two high contracting parties, desirous of accelerating as far as depends on them the return of Maritime peace, his majesty the Emperor of the French for this purpose accepts the good offices of his Russian majesty.
"10. The commercial relations between the subjects of the two powers shall be established on the same footing on which they stood before the commencement of hostilities.
"11. Immediately after the exchange of ratifications the prisoners of both nations shall be restored without exception to the respective agents of their nation.
"12. The diplomatic relations and the etiquette between the two courts shall be the same as before the war.
"13. The ratifications of the present convention shall be exchanged at Petersburg, within the space of twenty five days between two plenipotentiaries charged by their respective courts with full powers for that purpose."
Concluded and signed at Paris the 8th, (20th) July, 1805.
Signed,
PIERRE OUBRIL, and CLARKE.
PHILADELPHIA, November 15.
The brig Eliza, captain Wilson, sailed from New Orleans the 21st Oct.; at that time news had reached the city that an arrangement had taken place between the Spaniards and general Wilkinson, in consequence of which the militia of the territory of Orleans and Mississippi, who had volunteered their services to the number of six hundred men, and had marched to join General Wilkinson, were on their return to their respective districts. No official intelligence had been received on this subject from the general, but concurring advices from different quarters respecting the militia, render it almost certain that arrangements had taken place; and it is said to be agreed that neither the United States nor Spain, shall occupy the contested country, between the old boundary and the river Sabine, until final arrangements are made between the two governments respecting limits.
General Wilkinson, notwithstanding his small force and very unprovided state of his little band, had advanced beyond the Grand Bayou, and had taken a position with 300 men at the junction of the roads to Addies and Bayou Pierre, at which latter place Col. Herrera, with about fifteen or eighteen hundred men chiefly cavalry was.
Colonel Cordero, governor of St. Antonio, with a reinforcement, the number of which was unknown, lay encamped about 25 miles in the rear of Herrera's force, and although the superior officer had not joined nor taken the command when the last accounts reached Orleans, a detachment of artillery from the little garrison of Orleans, had marched on the 12th October, to join the general at Natchitoches, and were to be followed on the 22d or 23d by another detachment which would proceed in two gun boats by way of the Mississippi and Red river to the same place; this reinforcement would add 100 more brave followers to his forces.
Governor Grand Pre, of Baton Rouge, alarmed at the report of the approaching departure of the gun-boats, had given out that he would oppose their passage up the river, but it was believed he would not attempt hostilities, although he had assembled his militia in his district, and had taken every possible measure to assemble a force more than adequate to the object.
The militia of the city of New Orleans were called together on the 17th October, and unanimously offered their services to defend the territory, and particularly the city. They were accepted by the governor, and a bandbill was published on the occasion, which amply refutes the calumnies of those who have endeavored to persuade the government that the people of Louisiana were not attached to its cause.

Extract of a letter, dated
New-York, Nov. 12.
By the ship Richard, arrived here yesterday, 42 days from Nantz, I have received letters from my partners there [Delanoche and Co.] to the 1st Oct. which mentions that all hopes of peace were at an end, and that the French armies were marching towards Prussia. Lord Lauderdale, on the 30th September, was still in Paris, detained by sickness. The consequence of all this has been a rise in the prices of colonial produce, which were getting scarce and in demand.
"Green coffee sold for $1. a lb. equal to 41 c. your money, short price—Carraccas cocoa, 3f. 30c.—Bengal indigo 14 to 17 1/2—Pepper scarce, 1f. 17 1/2c.—Havana sugar, white, 14 1/2f. per 100lbs—brown ditto, and Muscovado 9 1/2f. Georgia upland cotton, 21f.—sea-Island 310f.
"Wishing these prices may induce you to make a trial of our market, I remain, etc.
It has been our custom, occasion-announces the progress of the inland navigation of the Potomac; and we have Alex. much pleasure in stating from the best authority, that the canal and locks near Harper's ferry, are either actually completed, or in such a state as to be certainly completed within a few days.
For several miles from the junction of the Shenandoah with the Potomac, nature had opposed very formidable obstructions to navigation, which this canal and these locks remove. The whole product of the fine country on the Shenandoah, almost as high up as Staunton, can now be water borne to the district of Columbia; and if only a part should find this cheap and easy conveyance to market, so early as the ensuing spring, it will be occasioned by the west of a sufficient number of boats for the transportation of the whole, and not for want of good navigation.
When this great enterprise, the Potomac navigation, on which has been expended more than half a million of dollars, was first commenced under the auspices of gen. Washington, now upwards of 20 years ago, it was the opinion of that accurate observer, that the tolls on the produce from the Shenandoah alone, would pay more than interest on the whole capital to be employed in the work: that at the time the country on the Shenandoah did not send annually to market less than the amount of 300,000 barrels of flour, in wheat and flour. Since that time the country has greatly increased both in population and cultivation.
Of the whole distance of inland navigation west of the city of Washington, computed at 800 miles, including the main branch of Potomac, and such of its tributary streams as are susceptible of improvement by navigation, we may now count upon as completed, at least partially completed, about 360 miles, to wit:
The main branch of Potomac, from the tide to New creek, 17 miles above Cumberland, 230 miles The Shenandoah, from its junction with Potomac, 100 miles The Monocacy, 30 miles
We say partially completed, because there are still obstructions between Harper's Ferry and New creek, which forbid the use of that part of the river more than 2 or 3 months in ordinary years; but from Harper's Ferry to the tide, and for about 75 miles of the Shenandoah and 20 of the Monocacy, we may safely calculate on tolerable navigation for 4 to 6 months in the year; and if we could reduce the barbs to draw only 12 inches water loaded, which surely might be done, we should have the use of the best part of the river for 9 months in the year, and of the whole from four to six.

Valuable Family Medicines.
Just received direct from the Patentee, and FOR SALE BY JAMES KENNEDY, JUN. DRUGGIST;
The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS N. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for removing weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent fevers and agues, long Autumnal fevers, dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other agents in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Bilious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholic, Costiveness, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, Jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious Pills, or Family Phyf.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, diziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, droplets, &c. and a liberal use of my anti-bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste.
For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth. This paste is much in use, and highly esteemed by all those who value the preservation of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is neatly put up in powder boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Worm Powders.
A medicine which for efficacy and safety in its operation stands unrivalled. The most authenticated proofs and respectable authorities of its astonishing virtues, and surprising effects, in extreme and alarming cases of worms, may be seen at the place of sale. Price 50 cents a packet.
Dr. Cooley's Vegetable Elixir; Or Cough Drops.
For Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, spitting of blood and all diseases of the lungs. Its merits stand unrivalled. Price 50 cents a bottle.
Dr. Cooley's Rheumatic Pills. Price 50 cents a box.

Ten Dollars Reward.
ON Tuesday morning the 21st inst. eloped 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 Dunafries; 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 patrolers 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.
