at the Bookstore of June 12. HENRY WHIPPLE. * * * * * The following is printed in the "Massachusetts Mercury:"-- From the GEORGIA GAZETTE. _Vice Consulship of Spain for the States of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia._ Messrs. Nicholas Johnston and Co. _Gentlemen,_ His Excellency Lieut. Colonel Don Vincent Folch, Governor of the Province of West Florida, in a letter, dated Panzacola, 1st August, has been pleased to communicate to me the following: "I have issued a proclamation, offering FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS to any person who will deliver here, or in _Apalache_, the body of WILLIAM AUGUSTUS BOWLES, or else produce sufficient proof of having killed him; which information I will thank you to make public, in order that some clever fellow, at the cheap rate of one gun shot, will place in his pocket the said sum, which shall be paid, with the greatest acknowledgment of gratitude, in good Spanish dollars, without the least delay." Therefore I request you to give this a conspicuous place in your paper. It is, doubtless, a very interesting subject to _Spain_, _America_ and the Indians, that they be rid of this noted vagabond.

Amberson,_ _A. Tannehill,_ _J. Wilkins, jun._ _John Irwin._ [B] The shape of the ears, we suppose, is to determine the enmity of the Indian. _Salem Gazette._ * * * * * A negro "pretends to be very religious
