number of slaves, about two week ago, by
a man of the name of Basset. Ii is suppo-
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 gong a
way, and desires that any humane people
who may chance to meet with her, will
persuade her 10 return, being apprehensiye
that when she gets into a strange country,
where she will be unknown and out Of the
reach of her friends and those who world
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 Stare. Should any such at
tempts be made, FIFTY dollars reward will
be paid to any person who will eommuni-
cate such information as shall lead to the
