No. 1.
Napoleon by the grace of God and the constitution of the state, emperor of the French and king of Italy, to all present and to come, Greeting:
Art. XIV. Of the acts of the constitutions of the 28th Floreal year 12, states that we shall establish by statutes to which our successors shall be bound to confirm, the duties of the individuals of both sexes, members of the imperial house towards the emperor. To acquit ourselves of this important obligation, we have considered in its object and consequences the disposition in question, and we have weighed the principles on which must repose the constitutional state which will form the law of our family.
The state of the princes called on to reign over this vast empire and to fortify it by alliances cannot absolutely be the same as that of other Frenchmen.
Their births, marriages and deaths, and the adoptions they make interest the whole nation, and have a greater or less influence over its destinies; as every thing which concerns the social existence of these princes, belongs more to political than to civil right, the dispositions of the latter cannot be applied to them but with the modifications determined by the reason of state; and if this reason of state lays obligations on them from which simple citizens are freed, they ought to consider them as a necessary consequence of the high dignity to which they are elevated, & which devotes them without reserve to the great interests of the country and the glory of our house.
Such important acts as those which ascertain the civil department of the imperial House, must be received in the most solemn forms, the dignity of the throne requires it, and all surprise must besides be rendered impossible.
We have in consequence thought proper to instruct our cousin the arch chancellor of the empire, the right of filling exclusively, with regard to us and the princes and princesses of our houses, the function attributed by the laws to the officers of the civil household. We have also committed to the arch chancellor the care of receiving the emperors will and the state which he shall fix the empress's dowry. These acts as well as those of the civil department are so closely connected with the imperial house and the political order, that it is impossible to apply to them exclusively the forms usually employed for last wills and testaments.
After having regulated the department of the princes and princesses of our blood, our solicitude must be directed to the education of their children; nothing can be more important than early to remove from them those flatterers who might attempt to corrupt them: the ambitious men who by culpable indulgence, might captivate their confidence, and prepare for the nation weak sovereigns, under whose name they would promise themselves one day to reign. The choice of the persons to whom the education of the princes and princesses children of the royal house is intrusted ought then to be reserved to the emperor.
We afterwards considered the princes and princesses, in the common actions of life. The conduct of the princes has frequently disturbed the tranquility of the people and rent the state. We have armed the emperors who will reign after us with all the necessary power to prevent these misfortunes in their distant causes, to stop them in their progress, and to stifle them when they shall break out.
We have also thought that the princes of the empire, titularies of the grand dignities, being called on by their eminent prerogatives to serve as examples to the rest of their subjects, their condition ought in several respects to be the object of our particular solicitude.
So many precautions would no doubt be useless were the sovereigns who are destined one day to sit upon the imperial throne to enjoy like us the advantages of seeing around them only relations devoted to their service and to the happiness of the people, and grandees distinguished by an inviolable attachment to their person; but our foresight must be directed to other times, and our love for our country induced us to hasten to insure if it can to Frenchmen, for a sequel of ages the state of glory and prosperity, in which by the aid of God we have succeeded in placing them.
On account of these causes we have decreed and do decree the present statute, to which, in execution of Art. 14, of the act of the constitution of the empire, of the
28th Floreal, year 12, our successors shall be bound to conform.
FIRST ARTICLE.
Of the department of the princes and princesses of the imperial house.
Sec. I. The emperor is the chief and common father of his family. By means of these titles, he exercises over those who compose it the paternal power during the minority, and always preserves with regard to them a power of superintendence, police and discipline, the principal effects of which will be hereafter determined.
II. If the emperor be himself a minor, the rights mentioned in the preceding article belong to the regent, who cannot exercise them but by virtue of a deliberation of the council of regency, taken in the case where there is room to apply it.
III. The imperial house is composed, 1. Of the princes comprising in the hereditary order established by the act of the constitutions of the 28th Floreal, year 12, of their consorts and their descendants in lawful marriage.
2. Of the princesses, our sisters, their husbands and descendants in lawful marriage, unto the fifth degree inclusively.
3. Of our children of adoption and their legitimate descendants.
IV. The marriages of the princes and princesses of the imperial house, at whatever age they may have arrived, shall be void and of no effect, by full right and without judgment being necessary, every line that is contracted without the formal judgment of the emperor.
This consent shall be expressed in a closed letter, countersigned by the arch chancellor of the empire. It shall alone suffice and stand in lieu of the dispensations of age and parentage; in all cases in which these dispensations may be necessary.
V. All children born of a union not contracted conformably to the dispositions of the preceding article, shall be reputed illegitimate, so that neither they nor their father and mother can pretend by virtue of this union, to any of the advantages attached by the laws and customs of certain countries to the marriages known by the name of main gauche; which marriages are neither authorised by the civil code nor by the constitution of the empire, and are, as much as is necessary, prohibited by the present statute.
VI. The matrimonial conventions of the princes and princesses of the imperial house are null, unless approved by the emperor, without the parties being able in this case to claim any exception by virtue of the dispositions of the civil code, which said dispositions will not take place with regard to them.
VII. Divorces are forbidden to the members of the imperial house of both sexes and of all ages.
VIII. They may, however, demand bodily separation. It shall take place by the sole authority of the emperor without form or process.
It shall only take place with regard to the common habitation, and shall change nothing in the matrimonial connexions.
IX. The property of the princes and princesses of the imperial house, whose father is deceased, shall be, during their minority, administered by one or several guardians appointed by the emperor.
X. These guardians shall give an account of their guardianship to the family council, hereafter spoken of.
XI. The family council shall exercise over the guardian, in every thing concerning the administration of the guardian, a coactive and contentious jurisdiction.
It shall fulfil for the acts of guardianship all the functions which with regard to private persons, are delegated by the civil code to the ordinary family councils and tribunals.
Nevertheless the decisions it shall make shall have no effect until after they have obtained the emperor's approbation, in all cases in which between private persons the deliberations of the family council are subject to the confirmation of the tribunals.
XII. The members of the imperial house cannot without the express consent of the emperor, either adopt, or take on themselves any officious guardianship, nor acknowledge their natural children.
XIII. The interdiction of the princes and princesses of the imperial house, in the case provided against by art. 189 of the civil code, is pronounced by the family council.
The judgment has no effect until after having been approved by the emperor.
The family council will exercise over the curator, the person interdicted and his property, the same authority and jurisdiction, as amongst private persons, belongs to the ordinary family councils and tribunals.
ARTICLE II.
Of the acts relative to the department of the princes and princesses of the Imperial House.
XIV. The arch chancellor of the empire shall exclusively fulfil, in regard to us and the princes and the princesses of our house, the functions attributed by the laws to the officers of the civil department.
He shall receive in consequence, the certificates of birth, adoption, marriage, and all other certificates prescribed or authorised by the civil code.
XV. These certificates shall be transcribed on a double register, kept by the secretary of state of the imperial household, numbered by first and last, and marked on each page by the arch chancellor.
The secretary of state of the imperial household, shall be appointed by the emperor, and chosen amongst the functionaries who form or have formed part of the ministry or council of state.
XVI. The secretary of state of the imperial household, shall remain depositary of these registers. He shall deliver the extracts of the certificates contained in them, which shall be examined by the arch chancellor.
XVII. When these registers are finished, they shall be closed and adjusted by the arch chancellor; one of the duplicates shall remain in the imperial archives, the other shall be deposited in the archives of the senate, conformably to art. XIII. of act of the constitutions of the 28th Floreal year 12.
XVIII. The acts shall be drawn up in the forms established by the civil code, except what is regulated by article XXXI. of the constitutions of the 28th Floreal year 12, for the acts of adoption, in the case provided against by article IV. of the said act.
XIX. The emperor shall appoint the witnesses, who shall be present at the drawing up the certificates of birth and marriage of the members of the imperial house.
Should he be absent from the place where the certificate is drawn up, or should there be no one appointed by him, the arch chancellor shall be bound to take the witnesses among the princes of the blood, following the order of their proximity to the throne; after them, amongst the princes of the empire, titularies of the grand dignities; and in default of the latter, amongst the great officers of the empire and the members of the senate.
XX. The arch chancellor can receive no certificate of marriage of the princes and princesses, nor any certificate of adoption or acknowledgment of natural children, until the authority of the emperor has appeared. For this purpose, whenever the case happens, a closed letter shall be addressed to him which shall also inform him of the place where the certificate ought to be received. This letter shall be transcribed at length in the certificate.
XXI. The abovementioned certificates, which, under particular circumstances, may be drawn up in the absence of the arch chancellor, shall be delivered to him by the person appointed to supply his place.
These certificates shall be inscribed on the register, and the minute shall remain annexed to the same, after having been examined by the arch chancellor.
XXII. The certificate which shall fix the empress's dowry shall be received by the arch chancellor, assisted by the secretary of state of the imperial household, who shall write it in the presence of two witnesses appointed by the emperor.
This certificate, whether closed or open, according as the emperor may determine, shall be deposited in the senate by the arch chancellor.
XXIII. When the emperor shall judge proper to make his will by public act, the arch chancellor, assisted by the secretary of state of the imperial household, shall receive his last will, which shall be written under the dictamen of the emperor by the secretary of state of the imperial household in presence of two witnesses.
In this case, the act shall be written on the register mentioned in the 15th article above mentioned.
XXIV. If the emperor disposes by secret testament, the act of subscription shall be drawn up by the arch chancellor inscribed by the secretary of state of the imperial household. They shall both sign with the emperor, and the six witnesses whom he shall have appointed.
The secret testament of the emperor shall be deposited in the senate by the arch chancellor.
XXV. After the demise of the princes and princesses of the imperial house, the seals shall be affixed in their palaces and houses by the secretary of state of the imperial household, and in case of hindrance
by a counsellor of state appointed for this purpose by the arch chancellor of the empire.
ARTICLE III.
Of the education of the princes and princesses of the imperial house.
XXVI. The emperor regulates every thing that concerns the education of the children of the princes and princesses of his house. He appoints and revokes at will those who are charged with it, and determines the places where it is to be performed.
XXVII. All the princes born in the order of hereditament shall be brought up together and by the same preceptors and officers, either in the palace which the emperor inhabits, or in another palace, within ten myriametres (20 leagues) of his habitable residence.
XXVIII. Their course of education shall begin at the age of seven years, and shall finish when they have attained their sixteenth year.
The children of those who have distinguished themselves by their services may be admitted by the emperor to share the advantages of it.
XXIX. The case happening wherein a prince, in the order of hereditament, shall ascend a foreign throne, he shall be holden, when his male children have attained the age of seven years, to send them to the above mentioned house, there to receive their education.
ARTICLE IV.
Of the power of watchfulness, discipline and police which the emperor exercises in the interior of his family.
XXX. The princes and princesses of the imperial house, whatever may be their age, cannot without the order or without leave of the emperor, go out of the territory of the empire, nor remove more than fifteen myriametres (thirty leagues) from the city in which the imperial residence happens to be established.
XXXI. If a member of the imperial house should misbehave and forget his dignity or his duty, the emperor may inflict, for a determined period, and which shall not exceed a year, the following penalties, to wit:
 Arrêt.  Removal from his person.  Exil.  XXXII. The emperor may order the members of the imperial house to remove from themselves the persons who may appear suspicious to him, although those persons should make a part of their household. 
ARTICLE V.
Of the family council.
XXXIII. There shall be a family council attached to the emperor. Independent of the attributes which are given to his council by the articles X. XI. and XII. of the present statute, it shall take cognizance.
1. Of the complaints made against the princes and princesses of the imperial house, whenever they shall not have for object offences of the nature of those which, according to the terms of Art. CI. of the act of the constitutions of the 28th Floreal, year 12, are to be tried by the court.
2. Of actions merely personal, commenced, either by the princes or princesses of the imperial house or against them.
With regard to real, mixed actions, they shall continue to be laid before the ordinary tribunals.
XXXIV. The family council shall be presided by the emperor, and in default of him by the arch chancellor of the empire, who shall always make a part of it.
It shall be further composed of the prince of the imperial house designated by the emperor, of him or the princes grand dignitaries of the empire who shall have the first rank of seniority, of the senior marshal of the empire, of the chancellor of the senate and of the court of cassation.
The grand judge, minister of justice, shall perform the functions of the public ministry in the council.
The secretary of state of the imperial household, shall be secretary.
The papers and minutes of the judgment shall be deposited in the imperial archives.
XXXV. The demands susceptible of being presented to the council, shall be previously communicated to the arch chancellor, who shall render an account of them, in eight days at farthest, to the emperor, and shall take his orders.
XXXVI. If the emperor orders that the affair be prosecuted before the council, the arch chancellor shall first proceed to conciliation.
The report containing the depositions, avowals and propositions of the parties interested, shall be drawn up by the secretary of state of the imperial household.
The accommodation which the parties may agree to, shall only have effect after being approved by the emperor.
XXXVII. The family council is not holden to follow the usual forms, either in the trial of the causes brought before it, or in the judgements it renders.

Nevertheless it must always hear the parties, either by themselves or by their attorneys, and must assign motives for its judgments.
It must also have been pronounced within a month.
XXXVII. The judgments given by the family council are not susceptible of being appealed from, to the court of cassation. They are signified to the parties, by the requisition of the grand judge, by the bailiff or any other appointed for the same.
XXXIX. When the family council determines on complaints, and thinks them well grounded, it confines itself to declaring that the person against whom they are made is reprehensible by the fact which the complaint specifies, and refers for the remainder to the emperor.
XL. If the emperor does not think fit to indulge him, he pronounces one of the penalties decreed, by article 31, and even according to the gravity of the fact, the penalty of two years confinement in one of the state prisons.
ARTICLE VI.
of the dispositions of the present statute which are applicable to the princes of the empire, grand dignitaries.
XLI. and last. The grand dignitaries and princes are subjected to the dispositions of the above art. 31, in the cases specified by that article.

NATCHEZ, May 6.
We mentioned in our last that a regulation lately made by the Spanish government of West Florida, prohibiting persons travelling through that district without a passport. We have received from an official source a copy of this regulation which we now present to our readers.
Don Charles de Grandpre, colonel in the Royal armies, governor, military and political, of the place and district of Baton Rouge, in West Florida, &c.
Whereas experience has shown that the toleration consented to in the district of this government, for the free passage of travellers, has been abused by the introduction therein of ill famed, idle, vagrants with bad intentions. Therefore it being important to the public peace, and in conformity with the establishments at all times; to prevent the consequences that might result therefrom, we have commanded and do command all officers civil and military, as well as all vessels of this jurisdiction that they do not under any pretext whatsoever receive nor admit any of the aforesaid, unless they present that indispensable requisite a passport, in form, granted by legal authority, otherwise they are to cause them to return in search of that document which must identify the persons so travelling.
That this provision may be made public and have its due effect, we command that divers exemplifications thereof, in the three languages, Castilian, French and English, be affixed in all the places of greatest resort, to the end that the same may come to the knowledge of all persons. Given at the seat of government at Baton Rouge, the 15th April. 1806.

Important.—Letters, dated Liverpool, April 19th, to a respectable mercantile house in New York, state, that Denmark will remain neutral; and that, at that time, there was no appearance of any thing which could interrupt the good understanding then subsisting between Denmark and Great Britain.
A small village to the leeward of the city of St. Domingo, was taken, pillaged and burnt by the negroes about the first of May.
Appointment by the President.

Extract of a letter from a young gentleman at St. Louis, to his father in Pittsburg, dated May 12.
Lieutenant Pike returned a few days ago from reconnoitering the head waters of the Mississippi. All that I can understand of his tour is, that the Mississippi heads out of a large lake, and runs a considerable distance very narrow and very deep. The climate very cold.
Extract of a letter from a respectable commercial house in Lisbon, to a house in Providence, dated April 19.
Our cargo of Indian corn we have landed here, as our surrounding markets afford not the least encouragement. We have no immediate prospect of a sale, on account of the great quantities of grain, &c.
on hand, so much so, that good Russian wheat was sold the other day at a price equivalent to 1 dollar & 25 cents per bushel on board. A public sale of a cargo of corn, such as yours, took place this day. Two small lots only thereof were sold, at 290 rees per alqr. or about 90 cents per bushel, on board. Thus situated, and having had no offer for yours, we see no other remedy but to wait a more favorable moment for the disposal of it.
"P. S. A neighbour of ours this day, put two cargoes of corn from Norfolk, at public sale; the highest price was 290 rees per alqr. or 90 cents per bushel. A cargo of 3000 bushels from said place has been sold at Figuera at the rate of 35 cents per bushel, on board, which we mention to shew you the present reduced state of ours and the neighboring markets."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Frederick Town to his correspondent in Baltimore.
"Nothing new here—all the talk is, harvest is approaching fast—no more said about caterpillars, and I am happy that the report of that insect having been so destructive is unfounded. They have done some partial injury to a few individuals, but by no means so much as has been related. Crops generally are very promising indeed."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New Orleans to his friend in Baltimore, dated May 14, 1806.
"DEAR SIR, To enter into the minutiae of my descent of the western waters, were but to annoy you with a long list of grievances. Suffice it to say, that too impatient to wait for a sufficient fresh to float the ships, I embarked on the 30th March on board a large barge, 450 barrels burthen: unusual and extreme low waters retarding our speed, & increasing the distance one fourth, by compelling us to float round 54 islands in the Ohio, and 126 in the Mississippi, that in high waters may be steered from point to point; 18 days lying to for head winds, aided by inexperienced and unskilful navigators, placing us twice on sand bars, once on a rock, and times innumerable on planters and sawyers, occasioned by a tedious passage of six weeks. [Planters are trunks of large trees, immovably fixed by the root in the bottom of the river, appearing perpendicularly about three feet above the surface, when in a middling stage. Sawyers are also bodies of trees less firmly fixed, yielding to the pressure of the current, appearing and disappearing alternately. The rapidity of the Mississippi continually undermining the banks, causing whole acres to cave in at once, bringing with them the largest forest trees, renders impracticable any attempts at removing these, the principal dangers of the navigation.] But like philosophers, we profited by adversity: our detentions enabled us to explore the Indiana Territory, Tennessee, Upper and Lower Louisiana, the Mississippi Territory and West Florida, to considerable extent. Wild Turkies, ducks, geese, pheasants, pelicans, and parrots of a beautiful plumage, fell at our deadly shots: and codfish, not inferior in quality to our rock, weighing from seventeen to one hundred and twenty three pounds, afforded us a daily repast. The soil of Upper Louisiana is rich beyond conception; in many places it was allowed by several Kentuckians to be fine manure for their first rate land, and in that state, except immediately on the banks of water courses, corn and sand command the same price; at Wilkinsonville we saw 40 warriors of the Shawanese, Delawares, Cherokees and Sciouts, painted and equipped for battle, preparing to go to war against the Osage tribe. The poor aborigines, formerly the lords and masters of this extensive and fertile domain, now come on board with the most abject humility, even leaving their hunting knives on shore to exchange bear meat and fresh deer at one dollar the carcass, for flour, whiskey, &c. The condition of the huntsmen may be injured by thus circumscribing their hunting limits, yet it is a quere whether their obtaining the first necessaries of life, corn and flour, in exchange for their peltry, is not more than an equivalent; certainly the agricultural Indian is greatly benefited by the introduction of husbandry, spinning and weaving among them. The Creeks and Chickasaws are far advanced in civilization, every farm having spinning wheels and looms. While at the 4th Chickasaw Bluffs, an old Indian squaw of that nation arrived with ten horses loaded with peltry (and driven by her negro slaves) to exchange for maze, &c. at the United States factory; with the product of her farm she traffics with the huntsmen, and pays semi-annual visits to the factory."
At this season of the year, the river flows at the rate of 5 miles an hour, and overflows its bank from 8 to 10 leagues on the W. side from Point Coupee, 150 miles above Orleans to Cape Gerardeau, near St. Louis, a distance of near 1000 miles. Its waters are extremely muddy, in high freshes, one eight being sediment. Above its junction with the Missouri, it is a pure limpid stream; the cause of its muddy appearance remains to be accounted for.
The country gradually declining on each side from the bank, and bayous or outlets bursting through every few miles and forming lakes at a short distance from the river, incontestibly prove that it flows on a ridge; in fact, it is perceptible to the naked eye, as you float down, and observe the houses and farms, as it were, beneath you. At the third Bluff, we had an opportunity of ascertaining the correctness of Volney's position, that the stone coal is a cement of rotten trees and decayed leaves. About 6 feet from the surface of a high bank, lately divided by caving-in, we saw a stratum of coal half formed of a greyish brown, strongly impregnated with sulphur. We also picked up some pieces of pumice stone floating down the river, assuredly implying the existence of Volcanoes at its head waters. From the mouth of the Ohio, to the Walnut-hills, 100 miles above Natchez, the country is scarcely inhabited; nothing to amuse but the uninterrupted verdure that cheers the eye; even the bark of the trees is green with the luxuriant wild vine, entwining itself around from the root to the top. Occasionally, the long Spanish beard, and the beautiful Magnolia flower, growing on a lofty forest tree, affords a pleasing variety to the landscape. From Natchez down, say 300 miles, the river is one broad street, through a delightful village of cotton and sugar plantations; the houses shaded by orange groves, and the planters all extremely wealthy."
Translated from the Danish, for Relf's Philadelphia Gazette.
Experience having convinced me that the Commerce with the Revolted Blacks of St. Domingo, has not ceased, notwithstanding the fine of 1000 dollars imposed by Lieut. Col. Commandant Scholten on those who should be convicted of having arrived with cargoes from the parts of St. Domingo, occupied by the blacks, I find myself under the necessity of putting a stop to the illicit trade, equally dangerous to the colonies as it regards the political situation, as contrary to law; and do therefore decree by these presents that every Danish vessel arriving at any place whatever of St. Domingo or Hayti (so called) in the possession of the blacks, and proof being legally made thereof, shall, in addition to the fine of a thousand dollars, which shall be given to the informer, be subjected to confiscation, both vessel and cargo for the benefit of his Majesty.

From a Halifax Paper.
HALIFAX, ss. On the 4th day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and six, before me the subscriber, one of his majesty's justices of the peace for the county of Halifax, personally appeared Daniel Trask, and William Patterson, jun. of Viscasset, in the state of Massachusetts, mariners, seamen belonging to the American brig Ranger, John Patterson, master, lately sent into this port for adjudication by his majesty's ship Leander, Henry Whitby, Esq. commander, and made oath—that after the capture of the said brig Ranger, by the Leander aforesaid, the deponents were taken on board of her, where they remained about 30 days; that about 20 days after their being on board, a ship hove in sight on the starboard bow, and the Leander immediately made all sail under French colours, firing at the same time all her upper deck guns on the starboard side, in order to bring her to; that the ship which the Leander was in chase of, still continued on her course, upon which the Leander wore round, and fired seven guns under English colors from the larboard side; that the ship immediately bore down, and proved to be the —, an American ship, from Charleston, bound to Liverpool in Great Britain; that after the said ship had come under the lee of the Leander, they fired two nine pounders at her, and one of them struck her forward and the other aft; that the captain of the Leander ordered the master of the American ship to lower his yawl, upon which the master replied "that he did not think his yawl would swim;" that he then ordered him to hoist out his long boat, upon which he lowered his yawl, (not being able to put out the long boat,) in which he came on board the Leander, with two of his seamen, in a very leaky state; that after the American ship was within hail, they continued to fire swivels and small
arms from the quarter deck of the Leander at her, while they were leaving the boat; that the two seamen who came on board with the captain were ordered on the quarter deck, and a sight of their protections demanded by Henry Whitby, the captain of the Leander; that upon their delivering them into his hands, Daniel Trask, one of the deponents, saw him tear them in pieces, and throw them overboard;—that during the time the captain of the American ship was under examination on the quarter deck of the Leander, a boat was lowered from her and proceeded on board the American ship, and in a short time returned with two of her seamen; that the two seamen who came on board with the captain of the American ship, and whose protections the said Henry Whitby had destroyed in the manner beforementioned, were detained on board the Leander, and are now on board said ship, that the captain of the American ship, after being detained about 3 hours on board the Leander, was permitted to go on board his ship in his own yawl with two men who came on board in the Leander's boat, and immediately made sail.
And the said William Patterson, jun. further saith, that he heard the officers of the Leander say, that the reason given by the American captain why he did not bring to on their first firing at him was their chasing him under French colors, he having English property on board.

Twenty Dollars Reward,
WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail, a young mulatto man slave, named ANDREW. He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas, who keeps the middle ferry opposite to Alexandria, and absconded from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lusty and well made, has short curled hair, and is frequently subject to have several pimples in his face. He is reckoned to be a thievish fellow, of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by me since his elopement, I suspect he has had the address to ship himself as a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in any jail, shall receive from me the above reward, as soon as due information thereof is given to me or to Doctor N. P. Canfield, at Alexandria.

I don't know any thing that would make a stranger suspect Jack's elopement sooner than that of calling himself a Baptist, and fond of argument.
JACK came from Guinea when he was about 12 or 13 years of age. There is a scar on the back of one of his hands occasioned by a burn or scald while an infant, it must be discovered by strict notice; each of his shins are flame colored about 4 or 5 inches in length and better than one inch broad in different places.
