of ms own outrageous conduct towards my

cure, gooi features, asmuoth black SAN,
rather above the middle stature, OF a youth

age, and OF great plausibIlity and ma urai
sudrtness. His ears grow remarkably close
to his head, and on the inside OF his lower
lip he has white mark or spot purcha-
sed him ! years ago OF the estate OF Mrs.
P. H. Courts, Of this county. an led (by
Circumstance which lave come 70 my know

he wliiendeavor 10 make ms way to King
George county, Va. should he not take
this route, he will probably be met with in
the Dis,ric! of Columbia, or in the upper
counties Of this state, on his way to Penn
syIvania. | apPrchend he will change his
name, and if committed TO Jail, refuse TO
slate to whom he belongs, as the misconduct
which preceded his departure, l. his alb

been preme1itated. He took ali his clothes
with him, of which he had large number
among ihem-a new bearskin oyer-coat,
a long close bodied blue coat, pair OF stri-
ped jean pantaloons, one or more white
wai;tcoa,s, besides many articles of coarse
cioaihng these, however, he will probably
exchange, or sell them for cash to deiray
his travelling expenses.
Will give he above reward TO any per :
sou who will bring him home to me, or
FiF7Y DOLLARS if confined in Jail, and
notice given me, so that | recover him.
Should he he taken out of the state, will
also pay ali reasonable costs and charges
which may attend the bringing him home.

FROM LATE LONDON PAPERS.

4 Napoleon. -The following curious de-
tail appears 10 letter from Nerviers, Sit
&nated 10 the low Countries.-A rich
4 Bachelor, whose social habits had render
ed him very popular in that city, and who
appeared to live in the enjoyment of all
the blessings of lie, waited on his Notary,
with whom he had an interview of an
hour, and, on his return home, destroyed
himself with pistol. The Notary de-
clared that he had been debating his Tes-
lament in due form, and had left four
millions of livres to Napoleon aud his
heirs. This is not the first time similar
donation has taken place; the Patriarch
Of Venice, bequeathed his property in the
same way, as did Count Papoi of b.
logna, who named the Emperor of Aus
tria, Executor OF his will.
Dreadful Catastropfe.-We are con-
cerned to record the melancholy fate of
Mr.. Wilkie, at Bennington, ia the parish
Of Ratio. On Monday last that gentle
man having just returned from his ride,
proceeded to loosen the girths, in order to
take off the saddle, when his mare, a spir.
tied animal, turning suddenly round, bit
him in the belly, and lacerated him in
shocking manner. Medical assistance
was called in, both from the vicinity OF
the place and from Edinburgh but, not
withstanding all their efforts, Mr.. Wilkie
died on Tuesday evening, after enduring
the most excruciating agony. The same
animal bit one of The farm servants severe
" some time before, but he sooD after
recovered. A few years ago brother of
Mr.. Wilkes lost his life by an Infatuated
ox.-Caiedonian Mercury.
The Conqueror, since her arrival at ST.
Helena, has buried SO men, nearly the

rival, and the Griffon, Of 10 guns, ten,
from the same complaints, forming in the
whole one hundeed and fifteenth!
