Twenty Five Dollars Reward. RANAWAY from the Subscriber yesterday (without the smallest provocation) a young fellow called BILL, of a yellowish complexion, 21 or 22 years of age, has a little inclination in his speech, and has a horrid countenance. He took with him sundry articles of clothing among which was a small blue hat. I suppose the height of this fellow may be about 5 feet 8 or 10 inches. The above reward will be given if taken 25 miles from my house and delivered to me; but if taken a less distance or only 5 miles beyond, Fifteen Dollars. I do hereby caution all persons from harbouring or carrying him off at their peril, as I am determined to prosecute with the utmost vigour of the law. Southampton, July 19. Simon Boykin.

Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatism Drops. The Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, and the various disorders of the same nature, are so exquisitely painful, and so difficult to be cured, that they have justly excited the attention of the medical profession. Some professional gentlemen have excelled in one department of the science; others in another. Dr. Tissot particularly has long been renowned for the superiority of his prescriptions in chronic diseases, and the length of time which elapsed during his attention to the nature and effects of these affections renders the medicines which he recommended of invaluable importance. The beneficial effects of these drops, have been so often experienced, and their extraordinary efficacy has been attested by witnesses so numerous and so unimpeachable, that there can be no doubt of the virtues of Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatism Drops. Large quantities have already been vendred, and the fall is now become in general, and their certainty in curing the disorders of a chronic nature, so completely ascertained, that certificates of their unbounded utility are now unnecessary. Testimonials of their value, and a volume of attested cases performed by them, may be seen upon application at T. W. Dyer's Genuine Drug and Patent Medicine Warehouse, No. 27, South Street, Philadelphia. The price of Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatism Drops, is only two dollars per bottle, with copious directions. Generous allowances made to those who buy to sell again. Of the many respectable testimonies of the effects of the above Drops, which have been received by the proprietor, we beg leave to annex the following: Certificate of General Ridgely of Hampton. I certify that having received a blow on my knee, which induced severe pain and swelling, I was advised to apply to Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatism Drops, and on bathing the part with them only a few times, agreeably to the directions, they effected a perfect cure. Another time my wrist was affected with rheumatism to such a degree, as to render my hand for the time useless, when on application of the same remedy in like manner, the disorder in the course of twenty-four hours was entirely removed. Therefore, from the experience I have had of the efficacy of said medicine, consider it a beneficial act to recommend it in similar cases to others. (Signed) C. RIDGELY, of Hampton.
Certificate of John Gibson, Esq. one of the Directors of the Bank of Maryland. I certify that about a year since, my foot received an injury by a fall in a few hours after it was affected with a most excruciating pain, so that I was unable to walk, with cramps. I was apprehensive that this accident would induce a fever, in consequence of which I had been frequently attacked. In this situation one of my friends advised me to purchase and earnestly advised me to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatism Drops; I immediately procured them and made the application; in less than three hours the pain entirely subsided, which had been so severe, as to deprive me of sleep for several nights. By a few further applications a perfect cure was effected. I have frequently used it in other cases, both after them myself, and recommended them to others with invariable success. (Signed) JOHN GIBSON. Certificate of Mrs. Mary Taylor. I, Mary Taylor, No. 135, Plumb Street, Philadelphia, aged upwards of seventy years, having been afflicted with very violent rheumatism pains for more than eight years, being recommended to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatism Drops, on only using half a bottle every rheumatism affection was completely removed, and I have continued free from all pain ever since; as witness my hand. MARY TAYLOR. The above drops are sold wholesale and retail only by BONSAL, CONRAD, & Co. Norfolk. ALSO, DR. ROBERTSON'S Patent Stomachick Wine Bitters.

From the North American. GENERAL WILKINSON. By the attention of a gentleman in Philadelphia, we are furnished with the following important deposition, which we hasten to lay before our readers. —We make no observation on its contents—they need none. But it may not be improper to state the reasons which justify and require the publication. It has been said and published as their opinion by the court, to be an universal and first rule of military courts, especially courts of inquiry, whose proceedings are merely preparatory, to prevent all publication of those proceedings, and of the testimony taken in the course of them. In open and direct violation of this rule, expressly laid down by themselves, Gen. Wilkinson has been permitted not only to publish that part of the proceedings in this case, (and a large part it was) which consisted of his own scurrilous and slanderous attacks on the witnesses against him, made in the shape of addresses to the court; but also for the purpose of traducing those witnesses, to garble the testimony, and publish such parts as he pleased, with all such misrepresentation as he thought would conduce to his object. This proceeding, if not directly sanctioned by the court, has been winked at and acquiesced in; and copies of such depositions, as he chose to ask for, have been given to him, if not for this avowed purpose, yet certainly with a perfect conviction that they would be so used. This was the case particularly with Mr. HARPER's deposition; a copy of which was given to Gen. Wilkinson, and by him published in the Aurora, for the express purpose of furnishing an opportunity of slandering the witnesses; while a repeated application of that witness himself for a copy, for his own use and protection, was, as we are correctly informed, treated with silent neglect. Although every witness who has deposed against Gen. Wilkinson, as far as we know or have heard, has come in for his share of abuse, yet the most malignant and persevering attacks have been reserved for Mr. CLARK; because his testimony was the most important, the most direct, and the most comprehensive; and because, supported by the original documents which he adduced, it produced an universal conviction of Gen. Wilkinson's guilt; a conviction, which completely possessed the minds of the members composing this court; although they did not consider the testimony as strictly legal, and therefore pronounced a sentence of acquittal. This is not indeed expressly declared by the court, as it was by the jury who acquitted Col. Burr, on similar grounds. But it is evidently to be inferred from the words of the sentence, from the irresistible force of the testimony, and from the known circumstances of the case; as will, we understand, at a proper, and no distant time, be most clearly shown. Under these circumstances, we have deemed it our duty, as friends of truth and justice, to dispense, as we formerly intimated, with the observance of a rule, which has been violated on the other side.—These are our reasons for publishing the subjoined deposition, which opens scenes that must fill with horror and disgust every virtuous mind. Let it be recollected that this deposition was taken on the part of Gen. Wilkinson, and not of Mr. Clark, or with his knowledge. Let it also be remembered that the witness, Mr. Daniel W. Coxe, of Philadelphia, is not a Federalist, but a zealous and uniform supporter of Mr. Jefferson. In this part of the continent, it is unnecessary to say that he is a man of high and unimpeached character, and of most respectable deportment.
I AGREE, that the deposition of Daniel W. Coxe, Esq. shall be taken and read in evidence, on behalf of Gen. Wilkinson, before the Court of Enquiry, whereof Col. Burbeck is president. (Signed) W. JONES, Jun. Officiating as Judge Advocate. Washington, June 2d, 1808.
INTERROGATORIES. To be exhibited to D. W. Coxe, Esq. on the part of Brigadier General Wilkinson. Interrogatory 1. Have you ever held conversations with Daniel Clark, Esq. respecting the political situation of the territory of Orleans, and the sentiments of its inhabitants towards the United States? If so, relate the tenor of his conversations, particularly at the period while Col. Burr was engaged in the prosecution of his plans. Answer 1. I have frequently conversed with Mr. Daniel Clark, on the political situation of Louisiana and well recollect, that he considered the inhabitants as attached to the United States at the period of the secession, and that it depended entirely on the general government, to cement the bonds of union, by pursuing a sound and judicious policy. Mr. Clark being himself a strong American in principle, (even prior to the cession of that province) and having, on various occasions, exerted his influence in favour of this country, at the hazard of his liberty and fortune, (as is well known to the present and former administrations) it consequently follows, that the people of Louisiana, who derived their opinions principally from him, passed under the American government, with the strongest impressions in favour of its wisdom and justice. Mr. Clark, however, considered the policy adopted by the administration, (after taking possession of Orleans) as neither wise nor conciliatory, and but ill calculated to inspire the inhabitants of that country with confidence in the liberality of its views and dispositions towards them. At the period of Burr's conspiracy and since, Clark believed the Creole inhabitants loyal, disinclined to revolution, and averse from turbulence and those political schisms, which appeared to disturb the new-comers among them.
1. 2. Do you remember any conversation respecting a plan of separation of that territory from the United States, the manner of its accomplishment, the period when it would take place, or the character of, and the individuals concerned in the same. A. 2. I remember no mention by Mr. Clarke, of any plan for the separation of Louisiana from the United States, except the old Western conspiracy for dismembering the union, and Gen. Wilkinson's agency in that affair, which after the development of Burr's plot, I know he believed to be the source of those enterprises in which he considered Burr and Wilkinson as united. 1. 3. Have you ever heard Daniel Clark, Esq. mention that Col. Burr was to be at the head of such a combination, and that he was to be president, with a salary of 5,000 dollars per annum. A. 3. After the explosion of Burr's conspiracy, I have heard Mr. Clark express his opinion, that Wilkinson and Burr had been acting in concert, but I have no recollection that he ever mentioned to me that Burr was to be president, with a salary of 50,000 dollars per annum. 1. 4. Do you know, or have you any reason to believe, any correspondence took place between Daniel Clarke, Esq. and Aaron Burr, during the years 1806 and 1807. If so, relate your knowledge of the same, and how it terminated. A. 4. I know no correspondence between Burr and Daniel Clark, except a letter that Mr. Charles Biddle informed me Burr had left with him to be delivered to Mr. Clark on his arrival from New Orleans, and which I supposed to relate to Burr's baggage, part of which he told me was left in New Orleans, and called with Mr. C. Biddle, at my counting house, to inquire if I had received it by any of my vessels. I accompanied Mr. Clark, after his arrival, to Mr. Biddle's, to receive the above-mentioned letter; and perfectly recollect his saying, rather peevishly, that Burr and Wilkinson made him of much importance, and would pester him with letters, but that he had declined corresponding with Burr. No baggage or letters were, however, received by me, for Col. Burr, from Mr. Clark, or any other person. In further answer to this query, which appears to insinuate a connection between Mr. Clark and Col. Burr, I beg leave to state, that having myself been always strongly impressed with a belief, that Burr was a dangerous and unprincipled man, and the marquis de Casa Yrujo, having one day jesusingly observed to me, that he understood Mr. Clark was going to Vera Cruz, and was intimate with Burr when he was at New Orleans, I immediately wrote Mr. Clark, (which was about the end of the year 1805) respecting the Marquis's observations, and advised him to have nothing to say to Burr in any way. The following is an extract from Mr. Clark's answer to me, on the subject, the entire original of which is annexed hereto, with the post-mark thereon.
"New Orleans, 6th Feb. 1806. "MY DEAR FRIEND, "I have received this day your favour of 20th December, by post, and thank you for the information contained in the private enclosure. Be pleased to assure the respectable person who informed you I was closely connected with Col. Burr, that he has been much imposed on in this particular, that I never was acquainted with him until he came last summer to New Orleans, and that I neither was, nor could be mad enough to attach myself to a man of desperate fortunes, whose stay among us did not exceed a fortnight. If he or any of his friends, have said anything that could induce people to believe, I had any connexion with him, I disclaim it, and time will prove the truth of mine or their assertions, and I shall be glad to learn that an eye were kept to my proceedings. What in God's name have I to expect or could hope from Col. Burr? And it is probable I should commit my fortune and perhaps reputation at my period of life, to commit others for him? No, the thing is too improbable to think seriously of, and I solemnly assure you there never has nor ever shall be any connexion between him and me. I left him when on the point of departure, a pair of horses to take him to Natchez, with a servant to bring them back, and bought his bill for $300 on Philadelphia, which I remitted to you, and this is all the politeness or intercourse I had with him, except once inviting him with a party to dinner, unless I could not do, in consequence of the letters of which he was the bearer to me; I have entered into this long explanation to set you at rest on this subject, and I beg you will return my thanks to the person from whom you received your information, for giving me an opportunity of being on my guard, against the attempts that might be made to entrap me into anything, which could appear like a connexion or intimacy with Mr. B. should he ever return to this quarter. "Benjamin Morgan has a vessel called the Patty, belonging to John Craig of Philadelphia, consigned to him, and this vessel has one of the permissions mentioned in a former letter. Morgan has agreed with the captain, and that he and I shall avail ourselves of this permission, and shall ship a cargo in the vessel, and the Marquis de Casa Calvo, will give up the necessary certificates. We propose that the cargo shall amount to $40,000, to be consigned to me, and a friend whom I shall name another time, shall have one third interest—We pay for the vessel and permission at the rate of 2 dollars per barrel freight, for the quantity we ship, and I count on our gaining one cent per cent, on the amount of the adventure. We shall have $15,000 insured here, and Price and you, when you hear further from Morgan and Chew and Bell, can have the rest covered at home for the voyage out. As for the returns here, I must trust to circumstances to be able to advise you. We have on hand almost all
the goods we shall ship, and shall consequently have little or no advances to make, which could interfere with any advances intended for you, and even in the event of a capture the amount insured will be a remittance to you; this is but a hint to you for the present, to morrow when things are more matured, I shall write to you. "I expect to sail on the 9th, in the William Wright, as advertised some time since. The Caroline dropt down the river a day or two ago. "Yours affectionately, (Signed) "DANIEL CLARK." 1. 5. Have you considered general Wilkinson and Daniel Clark, Esq. at any time on a friendly footing? Do you know whether any change took place in Daniel Clark's opinions, and when, of general Wilkinson? A. 5. I never considered Mr. Daniel Clark and general James Wilkinson as being friends, beyond mere appearances. Mr. Clark always thought ill of the general on account of his Spanish connexions, and never to me, (even in confidence) uttered an opinion in his favour. I know that he was impressed for a long while with the idea that Wilkinson had relinquished his pension from Spain, and finding him still patronised by the administration, (though it was acquainted with his former agency in the old western conspiracy.) He continued to maintain an intercourse with him, which both his own publick situation as consul for the United States at New Orleans, and Wilkinson's, as military commander in the South Western Country, rendered necessary. A great change to the general's further disadvantage, however, took place in Mr. Clark's opinion, from a variety of circumstances, among which may be noticed the following. 1st. The period and manner of Wilkinson's first communication to the president, accompanying his deposition to the contents of Burr's cyphered letter to him. 2d. His proceedings, denunciations and arrests in New Orleans, which Mr. C. conceived to be outrageous and improper. 3d. His affidavit before the grand jury at Richmond, who on the simple facts before them at the time, had nearly found a bill for treason or misprision of treason, against Wilkinson, as a coadjutor of Burr, and Mr. C. declared to me on his arrival in this city, last October, that he considered the perfidy of Wilkinson, in his capacity of commander of the American army, as without a parallel, and was fully convinced of his being the author of the conspiracy, which he claimed the merit of frustrating. I am that particular, as I have been so pointedly interrogated as to the causes of Mr. Clark's alienation from the general, after an intimacy of many years, and I deeply regret the necessity of using terms and epithets, which alone are adequate to convey my knowledge of Mr. Clark's opinion of general Wilkinson. I will further state, that though Mr. Clark was convinced at one time, that the general did not receive in 1804, the 10,000 dollars from the Spanish government, of which so much mention has been made; he, however, changed his opinion on subsequent information, and was convinced that Wilkinson did receive the money, in violation of his promise to him to drop his Spanish connexions, though it did not appear charged on the Spanish treasury books, on account of its being part of a large sum of secret service money, placed at the disposal of the military governor of Louisiana, and not of the fiscal and accounting officer. Mr. Clark also believed, that the general, by way of screening himself from the suspicion of being connected with Burr, and of increasing executive confidence in his fidelity, had denounced many innocent persons, (and his name among them) in a letter to the president, which has never been published. The foregoing circumstances furnished additional reasons for the ultimate and entire estrangement of Mr. Clark from general Wilkinson, and completed his disgust at, and abhorrence of his conduct. 1. 6. Do you recollect D. Clark's opinions, and when, of Gen. Wilkinson's conduct at N. Orleans in 1806 and 1807, whether he confided in his loyalty to the United States, or suspected him? relate any knowledge you may have, and whether from Daniel Clark's opinion of the general, or your own knowledge you have ever proffered your assistance, mercantile or otherwise, in advancing his interests? A. 6. The first part having been already answered, I will merely add, that I am unacquainted with any offer of mercantile or other aid, having been made by Mr. Clark or myself, to advance general Wilkinson's interest, tho' as to what Mr. C. may have done, I cannot speak with certainty beyond my own knowledge. 1. 7. Have you, since the charges exhibited in the house of representatives of the United States, in congress, by John Randolph and Daniel Clark, Esquires, gone to Lancaster? Was the motive of the visit to see or communicate with Andrew Ellicott? Did you see or communicate with Andrew Ellicott; and what respecting? Were you induced by the desire of any other person to take this visit? A. 7. I did visit Lancaster last January, and for the express purpose of seeing Mr. A. Ellicott and inducing him to attend the court of inquiry as an evidence, which however he declined doing unless the bill giving courts martial power to coerce the attendance of witnesses, was passed, in which case he said he should go to Washington, although he considered the court of inquiry as incompetent to the proper investigation of Gen. W's conduct. My journey to Lancaster was my own free act and without the knowledge or instigation of any person. It arose from a conversation I had a few days previous with captain John Dunlap in this city, who informed me that he had conversed with Mr. Ellicott, in his return through Lancaster, who corroborated Mr. Clark's statement as laid before the house of representatives, and declared Wilkinson to be a pensioner of Spain. On entering Mr. Ellicott's
* These letters were from gen. Wilkinson himself.
