A YELLOW WOMAN, called Celia
n Detcher, in the 23d year of her age,
about 5 feet or inches high-rnarks like
moles on the right side OF her face, which,
with several letters on her leil arm, were
made with india ink. She is about four
months gone in state OF pregnancy--fol-
lowed her husband, Jim Clark, a yellow
man, who was purchased from this place
and taken away in company with large
number of slaves, about two week ago, by
a man Of the name Of Basset. II is suppo-
sed they have gone 10 the westward: Celia
was born free, and had with her notarial
certificate of herfreedom, and description
of her person. Her mother, the subscriber,
is much afflicted by her manner Of gong "a
way, and desires that any humane people
who may chance TO meet with her, will
persuade her TO return, being apprehenslve
that when she gets into a strange country,
where she will be unknown and out Of the
reach OF her friends and those who would
be likely to protect her, attempts may be
made by some avaricious and unprincipled
persons, to deprive her of her liberty, and
sell her for q slape. Should any such at
tempts BE made, fifty dollars reward will
be paid to any person who will commum-
cate such information as shall lead TO the
conviction of the offenders, and the recove-
re- of the woman. -

SOUTH AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The anima-

Of Representatives on Saturday, on the
Expairatlon Bill, derived additional inter
est from a declaration Of Mr.. Speaker
CLAY, that he should, in the course of
the present session, bring the cause of
the South American patriots before the
House III a manner worthy of the subject :;
" no pledged himself, on that occasion
10 redeem them from aspersiOns, parii-
cularly the calumnious reproaches of ig-
u0TaUCe, of superstition, and uDtitness for
seli-goveTnment, which he said had been
cast on them from various quarters.
Mr.. FORSYTH, chairman Of the commit
tee of Foreign Relations, expressed his
satisfaction at the intImatiOn thus made
by the Speaker; and pledged himself,
when the occasion arrived, 10 defend the
policy pursued by the UHited States, in
regard 10 the contest IN South America.

The sense Of the House appears to be
against legslaiing OIL the question Of ex-
patriailon, Oh the ground, that to pre-
scribe The mode of exercising funda-
mental right is TO assume the power of

does not belong TO Congress. The ques-
lion is one, IT must be confessed, sur
rounded with difficulties on which, how
ever, tic able debate which has taken
place will have shed light that may
