Gone to the Southwark or

A YELLOW WOMAN, called Celia
N. Detcher, in the e3d year of her age,
about 5 feet Q or inches high--marks like
,noles on the right side of her face, which,
with several letters on her left arm, were
made with india ink. She is about four
months gone in a state OF pregnancy-fol-
lowed her husband, Jim Clark, yellow
man, who was purchased from this place
and taken away in company with large
number of slaves, about two weeks ago, by
a man of the name of Basset. 1t ssuppo-
sed they have gone TO the westward: Celia
was born free, and had with her notarial
certificate of her freedom, and description
of her person. Her mother, the subscriber,
is much afflicted by her manner OF going a.
way, and desires that any humane people
who may chance TO meet with her, will
persuade her 10 return, being apprehensiTe
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, 10 deprive her Of her liberty, and
sell her for Stare. Should any such at
tempts be made, fifty dollars reward will
be paid to airy person who will commune
ca.e such information as shall lead TO the
conviction of the offenders, and the recove-
~ OF the woman.
