Gone to the Southwark OF
Westward.

A YELLOW WOMAN, called Celia
~ Detcher, in the esd year of her age,
about 5 feet or 3 inches higb--marhs like
moles on the right side OF her face, which,
with several letters OH her left arm, were
made with india ink. She is about four
months gone in state of pregnancy-fol-
lowed her husband, Jim Clark, yellow
man, who was.parchased from this place
and taken al in company with large
number of SLAVES, about two week ago, by
man 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 may chance to meet with her, will
persuade her TO return, being apprehensive
that when she gets irto 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 inay be
made by some avaricious and unprincipled
persons, TO deprive her of her liberty, and
sell her for slape. Should any such at
tempts be made, fifty dollars reward will
be paid to any person who will commune
cate such information as shall lead to the
convictionof the offenders, and the recove-
~ OF the woman.
