A PROPOSAL BY William Young Birch, AND Abraham Small, Of the City of Philadelphia, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THAT INVALUABLE WORK, DR. RUSSELL'S HISTORY OF Modern Europe.
With an account of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, the Rise of Modern Kingdoms, &c. &c.
THE great applause which this excellent book has received, is a sure proof of its merits—The vast sale which it has had for several years, is a fair criterion by which the public opinion of its worth can be known. During the life of the learned author, it went through the annual sale of a very large impression—every succeeding edition received some improvement the result of his deep researches and great judgment—he lived to make it as perfect as in the nature of things it could be—he is dead! Whilst the English language is read, the History of Modern Europe will remain a monument to his fame! It is as entertaining as instructive; as interesting as profound. The plan of the work is copious, but by an happy arrangement, the reader is at once presented with the cotemporary history of every part of Europe. The book now offered to the public is from the last and most correct copy, to which this shall be no way inferior.
IT CONTAINS An history of the decline and fall of the Roman empire. The rise of modern kingdoms, generally. A particular history of the French monarchy. Do. Spain from the dominion of the Visigoths. Italy, with the rise and progress of the Temporal Power of the Popes. Britain, from its relinquishment by the Romans. Ireland. The German empire, from Charlemagne. The empire of Constantinople to its overthrow. Empire of the Arabs. Rise and progress of the Turks and fall of the Greek empire. History of Portugal; View of the progress of Navigation; Conquests in the East and West Indies; Discovery of America, &c. History of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Russia, Poland and Prussia; North-America, as connected with European history. A very comprehensive and highly useful chronology.
CONDITIONS. I. The whole shall be comprised in five large octavo volumes, printed in the best manner, on a superfine paper. II. It is intended to deliver one volume every two months, at the price of Two Dollars per volume in boards, payable on delivery. III. As it may be inconvenient to deliver them to distant subscribers in single volumes, those who wish it, may let them remain with the publishers until the whole are published.
The work is at press and will be printed on a beautiful new type cast for the purpose. The encouragers of this undertaking may rest assured, that a thing now foreseen shall delay its regular procedure; so that in one year at farthest the citizens of the United States shall be presented with an American Edition of Doctor Russell's History of Modern Europe, equal to the English copy, and at a lower price.

Moral Dispensary.
Opifexque per orbem Dicit; et herba um subja potentia nobis. OVID.
For the world I labour; for them explore the various of simples.
TO distant friend, who have written to me for advice, I recommend the following receipts and medicines. They are made up entirely of the best importations from Europe, and consists of valuable simples variously compounded, and accommodated with much care, to the present season.
To those who find themselves affected with a looseness occasioned by the unwholesome and ever-varying breezes of popular breath, a disorder which has of late attacked some very distinguished characters. I would recommend the following pills, to be taken every night before sleeping, and, as often as convenient, in the convivial circles of their friends.
"How can I shift me more?—Have I not run through all the clouds of the changeable sky? My cost and doubtless, are they not threadbare grown in turning? Were not my very skin SEEN THROUGH, I'd try the other side of that to please you!"
I feel very sensibly for the affliction of the good lady who solicits my assistance in the case of her daughter. I fully concur with her in the opinion, that unless a speedy and effectual relief can be found, from that diurnal rubescency which breaks out and renders her face so disagreeable, all the remedies and miseries of a despised old maid must inevitably befall the unfortunate girl. The malady originates in the mind. The patient feels a very natural and very commendable wish to render herself agreeable; but either knowing or imagining herself destitute of those attractive mental qualities which every where secure the esteem and the affections, she becomes the subject of chagrin and mortification. The consequence is, that the heart becomes surcharged with envy, malice, anger, despair, and all the foul uncoloured passions, which, being expelled from the vital parts to the head, infuse the face, and, in the place of those delicate, lovely tints which Nature's own sweet and cunning hand had laid on, dash it with that dirty stain which is commonly mistaken for an ungainly of lard and brick-dust. Though this disorder manifests a radical defect, or a dangerous perversion of the understanding, it is not wide totally to despair of a remedy.
My advice, for the present, is, that the following pills be, every day, laid upon her toilet. She can hardly fail to make the proper application; but if she should, her friends are desired to apply it to her, as often as they observe any of those foul colours beginning to appear.
"Mine was the early art To banish Nature's blushes from the cheek! I learned it of a Dyer's wife in Spain, Whose face in Lyons eye was so engrained, That TURKEY COCKS allied her as the pale."
It is a fact worthy of being remarked to the curious, that the appearance of this disorder, while it attracts, very forcibly, the animal above mentioned, possesses the quality of violently repelling the males of every other species.
The following is a cordial composed from some of the choicest ingredients in the morality of Miss Wollstonecraft, designed for the use and edification of young ladies in the boarding schools of Great Britain. If there are any female students of modern ethics in this country, it will be of use to sharpen their appetites and give them a more accurate taste in the sciences.
"These are not the times to stand upon a punctilious observance of sex, or to hide a masculine boldness under the flimsy veil of female delicacy! Look upon the Scotch bonny bellar as a be-she citizen of every land. She wears you men's fill-bags loosely, like a Turk! can box with Datchet bargemen, and push how qua'le with the nimblest masters of the assault: so amphibiously created as to be ready for any service by sea or land! I've seen her toss off a glass of brandy, and dance a reel on deck, while the weather-beaten vessel was shaking under three reefed sails!—put on there, she would to the beat of martial drum!" &c. &c.
I hope and believe that there are, comparatively few in this country to whose tastes and constitutions this is well adapted. Those who do not relish it are desired to take, in its stead, the following beverage. It is seasoned with a wholesome spice, and is pleasant. I hope the habits and regimen of my countrywomen will ever be such as shall justify me in administering the like draughts liberally.
"Aye! there's a creature feminine, of whom The world may proudly boast. With store of charms
And blandishments that to bedeck the sex, She from the yielding of her gentle heart, Hath walked, fair honor's handmaid; early thus'd"
The flaunting scenes of vain parade, to act The humbler duties of domestic life.
*The remainder of this picture is drawn with so much truth, and spirit, that I fear the full length might identify one of my patients. Those who would examine it entire may find it in the "Comic-Tragedy of VORTIGARN and ROWENA."
Simply attired as innocent in mind, With all the sweet benevolences graced, Her polish came by habit to engrain'd. That hand's luting file could never touch it."
I have here some very wholesome drops for the IMPARTIAL part of the community who kind souls, would give every man his due; who acknowledge that such a one is a LITTLE DEISTICAL, a LITTLE Jacobinical, a LITTLE demagogical, and so on; but then he talks a great deal about science and benevolence, and love to all the world (except his friends) and the rights of the people, and the tyranny of laws and governments, and religion; and on the whole is a very good sort of man; and that it is pity (so it is) that he should be neglected and persecuted because he happens to think a LITTLE DIFFERENTLY FROM SOME OTHERS. This medicine will be useful to all those who practice upon the very useful discovery, that all things human are necessarily imperfect, and, like themselves, generally erroneous; and conclude, therefore, that every man's opinion should be tried and weighed CANDIDLY; especially that opinion which tends to the injury or contempt of any distinguished character in Church or State. That may be the religion of a man who declares it to be indifferent whether we believe in one God or in two; it is very pure and convenient and republican: That may be it is very wise to dislike a man who has long discharged a public trust with ability and integrity, for he is human, and MIGHT become a corrupted knave.
Among many others I would recommend this specific to nine tenths of the Editors of American newspapers, to be taken frequently and copiously; it will do them good.
"Much may be said on both sides. Hark! I hear A well known voice, that murmurs in my ear. 'The voice of CANDOUR. Hail! most solemn! sage, Thou drivelling virtue of this moral age, CANDOUR, which softens party's heading rage. CANDOUR, which spares its foes; and e'er declines With ardent zeal to combat for its friend. CANDOUR, which loves, in fee-faw strains to tell Of acting foolishly, but meaning well; Too nice to praise, by wholesale, or to blame, Convinced that all men's motives are the same; And finds, with keen discriminating light, Black's not so black; nor white so very white. "Fox, to be sure, was vehement and wrong; But then Pitt's words, you'd own, were rather strong. Both must be blam'd, both pardon'd; 'twas just so With Fox and Pitt full forty years ago; So Walpole, Pultney, —Juddens in all times Have had their FOLLIES, Ministers their CRIMES. "Give me the avow'd, the cred't, the manly foe, Bold I can meet—perhaps may turn his blow; But of all plagues, g od Heavens, thy wrath can send, Save, save, oh! save me from the candid Friend! "Barras loves plunder, Merlin takes a bribe— What then? Shall CANDOUR the good men proscribe? No! 'ere we join the loud-accusing throng, Prove,—not the facts,—but, ha! they t'ought them wrong. "I love the bold, uncompromising man, Whose principles are fix'd, whose views are den'd; Who scorns and scorrs, in canting CANDOUR's span, All taste in morals, innate sense of right. And Nature's impulse, at uncheck'd by art, And feelings fine, that flat at out the heart; Consent, for good men's guid-nee, bad men's awe. On moral truth to rest, and GOSPEL LAW; Who owns, when TRAITORS feel the avenging rod. Just retribution and the HAND OF GOD."
I am obliged to confess myself unable to relieve the difficulties of the lady who writes me from _____ Street. That unaccountable contraption in the length and breadth of her daughter's wearing apparel, at the same time that the texture itself becomes so attenuated as to be nearly or quite transparent, is certainly very extraordinary, and, in my opinion clearly justifies her apprehension of some very serious consequences.
I would advise her, while these symptoms continue, to be very careful of her daughter's ringer; never to suffer her to go out in the evening air without being attended by some one of the family; and, whenever she observes her clothes to shrink so far from her chin or feet as to occasion a blush upon the cheek of any modest man who may happen to be present, to apply the following ca- plasm, in legible characters, to a conspicuous part of her back, a little below the shoulders; and, during the application, to give her moderate exercise by walking in some of the most frequented parts of the city.
"In days of yore, I drew God's creatures male about me, by the light of a lovely countenance! I had an eye then which made some of them smart for it: but that's gone by. So now, with lengthened will and dimity coats cut short, I fall forth in every flaunting breeze, and make them prance, like madmen after me, to the elastic spring of a well turned leg; while I, a flying Daphne, chide the rude winds which give it to their view."
Should that fail, let the following be added or alternately administered.
"Look! what a frame! LIMBS fondly fashioned in the wanton mould OF NATURE! warm in love's fly witcheries, And forming all the drape of art, A spider's loom now weaves my thin attire Through which the ragged, red tale winds Do frolic as they hit."

BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
BOSTON, June 26.
At the moment when a negotiation is pending between this country and France, when (if the opinion of some well informed person is correct) in all human probability an accommodation before this has taken place, and every difference is adjusted. When strong professions of friendship were made to this country, and a new negotiation solicited with all the ardour of sincerity; Why, asks every man of reason and justice, is deprecations continued? There is not the shadow of a doubt but Buonaparte, while prating of friendship, amity and respect, for America, was at the same moment, confirming and authorizing anew the hostile conduct of the West India freebooters. The captures are fresh wounds by the same hand, which pretends to accept the olive branch of peace. Are these evidences of the pacificatory disposition of this terrible republic? Are these the manifestations of their love of justice, their moderation, their conciliatory professions? Well then may the robber console his victim by the assurance that he has spared him his life. If such be the mode in which our Gallic friends exemplify their professions of amity, may the Lord ever defend us from their French Jits.
While we feel indignant at the insults and aggression, which are daily committed on our commerce, and rights by the French, we cannot repress our feelings at the unjustifiable capture of our vessels by the British. The instance of the seizure and detention of the Juno detailed in the ship intelligence reported by captain Hills, is a circumstance of such an aggravating nature, as to excite the liveliest resentment, and to injure, in an essential degree, the friendship which each nation ought to cultivate.
THE MINERVA.
Captain Hills, arrived here yesterday from London, left from Portsmouth, in England learnt while at the latter place, by letters direct from the ship's merchant, that she was ready for sea, and would sail immediately. A short time previous to sailing, captain Hills received a letter from the American coffee-house, at London, assuring him of the safe arrival at Bordeaux, of the passengers taken from on board the Minerva, and they were hourly expected in London. Captain Robinson of Portland, has the command of this valuable ship.
WINCHESTER, (Va.) June 22.
TO FARMERS.
Sir, A few days ago I was in company, where the conversation turned upon the ravages which the Hessian fly is at this time making in this country; and as I had never before an opportunity of observing its mischievous operation, I was induced to accompany a party of gentlemen to a neighbouring wheat field, where we had not been long, before an occasion presented for observing the progress of this insect, in three of its different stages: On the lower part of the plants, and near the first joint of the injured stems we observed the insects in its eating and maggot state, and in that where it certainly does all the mischief: Again, upon the deadened stalks, it was found in its shell or crystal state; in some of the more advanced of which the fly was easily to be discerned, by its head, body, and in the unfolding growth of its wings. These appearances at once confirmed the opinion I had just before hazarded, that the eggs of this insect are deposited in the tender grain of wheat, barley, rye or other crops on which it feeds; and whilst these grains are in their milky and unripe state; by the trial of which season, it was plain from the appearances we had just noticed, that the whole annual brood of these insects would attain to their fly and parent state; and when it is reasonable to conclude they will be provided with their usual store of eggs for the continuance of their species, and which they will as naturally as heretofore, strike into and deposit in the downy end, and near the germen of the tender grain which is now growing. These facts being admitted, the remedy appears both easy & certain. I would recommend that all the farmers in the country should prepare their seed wheat in the following manner: To a brine or pickle, made sufficiently strong to float a new laid egg, there should be added, to every three gallons, two ounces of finely pulverized arsenic. In this pickle the seed wheat should be soaked for five or six hours, when, after draining it in baskets over the sleep vessel, the wheat should be spread upon a floor, and there dressed with so much fresh stacked lime, as after the wheat has been frequently turned, would form a powdered coat, or covering, over every grain. In this state the wheat will be ready for sowing. The well known property of caustic lime, in its disorganizing power on all animal bodies, is the principal upon which it will operate on this occasion, by completing the destruction of all the eggs which the Hessian fly may have deposited in the wheat, or other grain thus prepared; and which may have escaped the poisonous effect of the arsenic in the pickle. Thus our end will be obtained, not only without injury to the vegetative principle in the seed, but at the same time with advantage to the ensuing crop, from the operation of the lime as a manure upon the land; or in other more effectually to prepare the arsenic for an equal admixture in the pickle, it should be boiled in a proportion of about two gallons of water to a pound of arsenic, till the whole is completely dissolved. This
solution should be then well stirred and mixed with the pickle.
I remain Sir, yours &c.

A Dialogue between an Inhabitant of Philadelphia and a Farmer.
Farmer. How happy are you, Mr. William! You have nothing to do but walk, court, and amuse yourself here in the country; and when you are at home, your business gives you but little trouble. The whole of your time is occupied agreeably in writing a few lines in the compting house; going to the coffee house; returning to a good dinner; receiving company; paying visits, entertaining yourself at the theatre, and returning to sleep as long as you please.
Citizen. Yes—This is the bright side of the story my dear John; but you are a stranger to the evils of our mode of life. To live in the capital is exceedingly expensive. We must be able to meet the demands of our families; and to do this with honor and ease, and support the luxury of our wives and children, requires more labor than you think for. We are continually agitated by anxiety. A vessel may be taken or suffer shipwreck. Debtors may become insolvent, and this for large sums of money. We have our bills to meet—and often sleep not, while you repose with tranquility.
Farmer. All this is true, Mr. William—but persons who are rich can meet all these expenses with less difficulty than you say; and you are not like myself exposed to every kind of bad weather, and much fatigue in gathering in the harvest, selling our produce, &c.
Citizen. I agree with you, my dear John, that you suffer more fatigue of body than we do, but even this fatigue is a source of health and sound sleep. Our mental pains are much more severe. Envy and slander persecute the men most distinguished by their wealth, and often domestic bitterness disturbs this apparent felicity that the vulgar believe is prerogative of the citizen. Ambition is another enemy of their tranquility. You are not acquainted with all the evils reserved for a city-life.
Farmer. My highest ambition is to be able to provide comfortable situations for my family, which is very large, and to lay up enough to live with ease in my old age.
Citizen. If your family be numerous, they are all brought up to labor and economy, and this kind of education is the surest wealth; for it may be carried every where without fear of losing it. You can buy excellent land for almost nothing in the back country, as for example in Kentucky, and there establish the eldest of your family. They will soon possess large plantations, while the younger will remain at home to assist you in your old age, and share a rich inheritance after your death.
Farmer. You are right, William,—I thank God I see my error.
* Look on this humble Cottage, and deplore Thy lordly palace—say, can golden ore Procure such artless tranquil joys as these.

1st. PRAY Gentlemen, is a perfect standard of discount, or interest calculated on every dollar (without exception) from 1 to 2000, from one day to sixty-four days inclusive, of any value, whether used as a standard, or as a check upon the enquirers' own calculations. 2d Is it of any importance to know the best methods of computing the exchanges, between this country and the principal maritime trading place in Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Prussia, Poland, Germany, Holland, Flanders, Spain, Portugal, Italy, in several of the Windward and Leeward West India Islands, and many ports in the East Indies? 3d Is a table of all the coins and monies of account in the places aforesaid, of any use? 4th Are the coins and monies of account in the aforesaid places, when reduced to dollars and cents, of any service? 5th Is a table of compound interest of any utility? 6th Is the table by which the banks determine the value of gold, desirable? 7th Is the amount of Interest, accurately calculated for each month from one to twelve months, and on every dollar (without exception) from 1 to 2000, of any value? 8th Is a table of all the post towns in the United States, and rates of postage therewith, of any use? 9th Will not all these together make a book, as generally useful and convenient as ever entered a counting house or store? 10th Will not the whole, when comprised in a quarto volume of from 200 to 225 pages, be worth two dollars? And lastly, Is the person, who at the expence of FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS undertakes to perform upwards of one hundred and sixty thousand calculations of interest, and of giving all the preceding information to the public in the most complete manner, deserving of your Encouragement and Support?
If the answer is in the affirmative, you are individually and respectfully invited to subscribe in one of the specimen books, exhibited at the City Tavern, Hardy's Hotel, Francis's Hotel, the Indian Queen, Dunwood's Tavern, the Franklin Head, and at the George.
It is proper to state, that the work will not be executed unless fifteen hundred subscribers are obtained; for four thousand dollars is too much to hazard.

[Bost. Chronicle.]
We observe with pain, that a late London paper records the death of WILLIAM COWPER, Esq., of the Middle Temple, & the classical and moral author of poems which will live, as long as pure sentiments and energetic expression are valued by mankind. It excites a sensation equally melancholy and regretful that, while Pat Stupitity, and Littleless Indolence, and common place characters "cumber the ground," the date of genius, and worth, and active exertion is so brief and transitory. Mr. Cowper died early, but his works will be enquired for late.

To JOSEPH B. M'KEAN.
Query. I. When a man is appointed Attorney General of the state of Pennsylvania, does he on OATH declare he will support the law? II. Is it consistent with his duty as an attorney-general to advise the good people to oppose any tax legally imposed? III. Did you or did you not advise a gentleman of this city who is opposed to the tax for watering the city, to continue his opposition, and to refuse submission to that law?
The first article in the Aurora of this morning is entitled, in the sensible and correct language of Mr. Duane, an Irish Author, "a copy of a letter (which might have been written to a great General, &c.)" How, in the name of Hibernian magic can an unwritten letter be copied? Mr. Duane is certainly related to that Virtuoso, who wrote a letter to the Royal Society, describing an invisible horse lately seen in the neighborhood. Is it possible that the "bald, unjointed trash" of this astute blunderer can be read, and that a fellow, who can neither argue, nor write, should gull a single blockhead of the Jacobins. But this enlightened country has its fools as well as Gotham. The ignorant scribbler finds many a widgeon reader. For as Pope sweetly sings, There swims no goose so gray, but soon, Or late She finds some honest gander for her mate."
The illiterature and ignorance of the democrats are proverbial. Of their rude logic, grammar and rhetoric, we have the most miserable specimens in the Aurora. Their pure mathematics is a fool puddle, their mix'd mathematics a chaotic jumble, and their arithmetic is unworthy of a tapster or an old butter woman, a "nought and carry one Sir." They are allowed to have some skill in addition and multiplication—"3 times 5 is twenty-five," that's my way of reckoning. says the fiscal Duane, that prodigious genius, that George Rofe of our Treasury.
A person carelessly leaning in a box at the Theatre, was requested by a friend to be careful of his watch, for a Jacobin author was standing behind him!

"Our Market is likely to continue overstocked with dry goods; every store in the city is filled; what the object of merchants in the United States can be in shipping, I know not; but certain it is that they may expect to lose on such shipments at least 15 percent."
In the interval between the month of November in the 9th year, and Frimaire in the 7th year, 1562 new literary works have been produced at Paris, one third of which consist of physical and mathematical tracts, the rest are made up of 17 Moral Essays, 183 Romances, 183 Dramatic Productions.
Since the late suspicious nuptials of a happy Editor, his paper has been observed to be more than usually spiritual and vivacious. A grave philosopher of my acquaintance supposes that those animal spirits which used to flow in petulance, a flimsy anger are now flowing in a new channel!
MR. WAYNE.
GOING home, the other evening, I observed a light in a cellar, and a merry fellow, laughing most immoderately at a paper he held in his hand. What pleases you so much, honest friend? Some of my handy work, said he. What is your trade? A Cobler, Sir, both of Shoes and Stanzas. And what is your charge for the latter? Six pence an hour, and here is a pennyworth at your honour's service. I paid the price, and send you the enclosed.

From a Public Office to the Editor of the Aurora.
Lie on—while my re-enchant shall be To speak the very truth of thee.
To Duane, on his recent passage of the information against Callender.
The rogue, you say, writes well—you'll swear it too; For while you pawn your word, he'll vouch for you; Thus two poor rogues, who find their credit fail To cheat the world, become each other's bail.
On Callender, selling himself to the Jacobin.
I wondered not, when I was told, The R. gue his Reputation sold; But all did ve y much admire How Callender could find a buyer.
[To be Continued]
The Jovial Jasper had the misfortune sometime since to understand that by the carefulness of a waggoner, a couple of casks of his favourite liquor were saved to pieces. The baleful news reached his ears just as he was humming over a popular song— "Shepherds, I have lost my love, have you seen my Anna?"
In a fit of abstraction, occasioned by the grief of parting with Nantz, he broke out to the astonished prentices in his office, Devils, I have lost my Gin—have you seen my Brandy?
The Juicy of each Jacobin, the bliss of Napper Tandy, Never shall I soundly snore, until their returning; All my drunken joys are o'er And I must mope till morning!
Whither is my liquor flown? Devils tell me whither; Ah, woe is me—the Gin is gone For ever and for ever.
*Jasper—the signature under which Duane wrote.
PENSIVE REFLECTIONS.
AH, who has pow'r to say, To-morrow's Sun shall warmer glow, And o'er this gloomy Vale of Woe Diffuse a brighter ray?
Ah, who is ever sure, Tho' all that can the Soul delight, This hour enchants the wond'ring sight, These raptures shall endure!
Is there in Life's dull roll, One certain moment of repose, One ray to dissipate our woes And bid REFLECTION smile?
We seek HOPK's gentle aid, We think the lovely Phantom pours Her balmy incense on those Elow'rs Which blossom but to fade!
We court Love's thrilling dart; And when we think our jays supreme, We find its raptures but a dream— Its boon a wounded Heart!
We pant for glittering Fame, And, when pale Envy blots the page, That might have charm'd a future age, We find 'tis but a name!
We toil for puly ore, And when we gain the golden prize, And death appears—with aching eyes We view the useless store.
How frail is Beauty's bloom! The dimpled cheek, the sparkling eye, Scarce seen before their wonders fly To decorate a tomb!
Then, since this fleeting breath Is but the zephyr of a day, Let Conscience make each minute gay, And brave the shafts of Death!
And let the generous mind With pity view the erring throng, Applaud the right, forgive the wrong, And feel for all mankind!
For who, alas! shall say, To-morrow's Sun shall warmer glow, And o'er this gloomy vale of woe, "Diffuse a brighter ray?"
A report was lately in general circulation that Mrs. Jackson had died suddenly at her seat in Virginia. We took some pains to ascertain the source of this report, and found that it was received by a gentleman from Fredericksburg. We have the gentleman, and was informed, by him, that at Fredericksburg on Friday last two respectable inhabitants of the place arrived there from the neighbourhood of Mr. Jefferson's seat, with an account of his having died in a sudden manner. Our informant adds, that the news obtained credit at Fredericksburg. We have not been able to obtain any other information on the subject.

Fifty Dollars Reward. RAN AWAY from Gen. Ridgely of Balti- more, on the 22th inst. a light coloured negro man, who calls himself WILLIAM MC. DONALD ; He is about 24 years of age, about 5 feet 8 inches high, neat in his dress, and has a good suit of hair. He did on, when he went away, a good beaver hat, a short light green cloth coat, edged with yellow, and yel- low pill buttons—a light buff cassimer, double breasted waistcoat, a pair of dark olive coloured thickset pantaloons—a white linen shirt, white ribbed cotton stockings, and a good pair of shoes with strings. He took with him a dark blue coat, a pair of olive cassimer pan- taloons, and a light corduroy pair of breeches; also a gold or pincheque watch, with a steel chain. He is fond of spirituous liquors, is in- solent, has a supid look, and chews tobacco. He was bred in Charles county, Maryland, and purchased of Col. John Thomas by Gen. Ridge- ley. Whoever apprehends said negro, and se- cures him in any jail so that the owner may get him again, shall receive the above reward, with reasonable charges if brought home, or de- livered to Joshua B. Bond, Philadelphia. May 1.
Fifty Dollars Reward. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on the morning of Saturday the 19th inst. a mu- lato Servant Man, named Wilks, but commonly called John; he is about 24 years old, 5 feet 8 inches high, slender and knocked knee'd; he is a dark mulatto, has thick bushy hair, which he commonly wears plaited and turned up short be- hind; his face is thin, but appears more so from having large whiskers; he had on when he went away, a round about half worn white muf- fin cravat, a brown second hand coat with fashiona- ble metal buttons, a black silk waistcoat, with a white one underneath, pantaloons of a greyish cloth with buttons at the ankles, striped cotton stockings and shoes. He may have changed these clothes, but it is not likely, as he has left all his others behind him. I am told a servant of General Ridgely's, with whom he was intimate ran away on Sunday morning; it is not improbable that they are together. Wilks is from Chester-town on the eastern shore of this state, where he lived with a Mr. Jeremiah Nichols who sold him to me. I have good reason to believe he has gone to Philadelphia. The above reward will be given to any person who may lodge him in jail at that or any other place, and give me or Mr. Joseph S. Lewis of Phi- ladelphia notice of the same. He is an excellent house servant, and if in Phi- ladelphia will probably offer himself to hire in that capacity. W. GILMER. Baltimore, April 23—(25)

WHEREAS BY a decree of the High Court of Chancery made in a cause, James against NEWMAN it is among other things referred to Wm. Graves Esq. one of the masters of the said court, "to take an account of the Legacies bequeathed by the will of the testator, WILLIAM PHILLIPS, late of Newgate street, London, deceased, and also to in- quire and state to the court, whether Francis James, the brother of the complainant's named as one of the Legatees in the said will is dead, and whether he died in the life time of the testator; Therefore all persons who can give any informa- tion whether the said Francis James be living or dead, and if living where he now resides, or last resided, and when and at what place, and when and where he was last heard of, and if dead, when and where he died, are hereby requested to give such information to the said William Graves, Esq. at his office in Southamp on Buildings, Chancery Lane, London, on or before the first day of March next, otherwise he will be excluded the benefit of the said decree. The said Francis James was born at or near Kidwelly, in the county of Caermarthen, and it living, is about the age of thirty four years, and about the year 1779, was a reman man on board the Milford, a merchant ship, belonging to the port of Bristol, and failed for Jamaica in Sep- tember, 1780, afterwards he returned to Bristol, and in November, 1781, was pressed in King road, Bristol, and sent on board the king's frigate called the Diomede, in which he failed from Ply- mouth on a cruise, and on board of which he af- terwards became a quarter gunner, and deserted the said ship at Charleston Bar in North-America in September 1782.

300 Dollars REWARD. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on the 18th of June inst. TWO NEGRO SERVANTS; viz a negro woman named Pat, a washer-woman and cook, of about fifty two years of age— tall and well shaped, of a black complexion. She has bad teeth, those of her under jaw are much discoloured and project a good deal. She has a full head of wooly hair—a very cross forbidding countenance, is very impertinent, and laughs and talks loud. Pat was born in South Carolina, and speaks bad English, with the negro dialect. She has on the upper part of her breast, two pretty large lumps of flesh resembling Wens, or rather with the appearance of the marks of a burn. She carried away with her several changes of cloaths, and gowns of white mullin, and of coloured and figured printed cottons fashionably made up. She also carried away with her. CLARA her daughter—a very stout, robust, strong made girl, of a short stature, and round shouldered—appearing to be about 14 years of age. Clara has large flaring eyes, a flat nose, an oval flat face, her under jaw projecting a little, and good teeth. She is very artful and impu- dent, has a great fluency of speech, uses good lan- guage, and has been taught to read. She has the appearance of ring worms on her left cheek and chin; the skin in spots appearing much paler than the rest of her complexion, which is much lighter than her mother's—her hair is short and wooly. She wore a pink grounded printed cotton with a small black figure, with new fore parts. Also ran away, on Wednesday the 11th inst. June, DICK and MELIA. Dick, or as he has lately called himself, Richard Weaver, is a house- servant—he is about 5 feet 7 inches high, rather small made, is about 25 years old, of a good smooth, black complexion—has a flat nose, with very large open nostrils. He carried his head and neck as if he were stiff in the neck and shoul- ders, which are high and tolerably square, and his neck short—his legs are straight but small and illy made, with scarce any call. He has bad teeth, is left handed, and exceedingly awkward—he has a full head of wooly hair, which he plits and dresses to the best advantage. His voice is small, his speech commonly mild and slow, and his manners appear extremely simple, but he is at bottom an artful knave, and when spoken to is very apt to be passionate and impertinent. Dick is a native of South-Carolina, and speaks bad English—he seduced and carried away with him Amelia, who he called his wife. Amelia is a very complete, well instructed la- dies maid, much below the common stature and of a small make—her complexion is that of a dark mulatto or melliço, nearly resembling that of the Lafars of India, with black curling hair, and a very low forehead—her right eye has a great weakness, owing to the small spot in her infancy— under her eyes very black—a flat face, flat broad nose, with scarce any rising at the bridge; a large mouth, with thick lips, and good strong teeth. On the name of her neck she has the marks of a Seton. Dresses with taste, and imitates the French style; is very sensible, and expresses herself well. She took with her a variety of clothes, fashiona- bly made—she has for more than two years past been liable to fits, which at times give her a wild- ness in her eyes—her health is generally delicate— she is at present likely to enclose her family, and is about 22 years of age—she can dress hair, clear flarch, has a taste for military and mantua mak- ing; and as she is very ingenious, ran turn her hand to anything and may probably offer herself to some milliner or mantua maker as a work- woman. As Amelia has heretofore been a great favourite of a very indulgent mistress, and 'tis believed has been led away by the persuasion of her paramour Dick, if she will return to me, she will be forgiven and treated with the same ten- derness as has always received. FIFTY DOLLARS Reward for each will be paid for the delivery of Pat and Clara to the subscriber, or to any goal in the United States to that may get possession of them—One Hundred Dollars each for Dick and Amelia, on the like delivery. The subscriber warns all master of vessels, from taking these Runaway servants from the United States, and requests such of his friends and acquaintance as it may not suit to arrest them, to give information, should they hear of either of the fugitives, to the subscriber, by letter directed to the post office, Philadelphia, which will find him, wherever he may pass the summer, or to the Printer of the Gazette of the United States, who will communicate it to a friend in Philadelphia to act on his behalf.
