mnles 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 state OF pregnancy-fol-
lowed her husband, Jim Clark, a yellow

and taken away in company with large
number of slaves, about two week ago, by
nan of the name of Basset. 1t is suppo-
sed they have gone 10 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 gong a.
way, and desires that any humane people
who my chance TO meet with her, will
persuade her 10 return, being apprehensive
that when she gets into a strange country,
where she will be W known 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 unprrncipled
persons, TO deprive her of her liberty, and
sell her for Stare. Should any such at

cate such information as shall lead to the
