t 5 feet 7 inches high, 18 or 19 years of
age, remarkably likely Fellow, rather slim made; HE SPEAKS FRENCH TOLERABLE
WELL, and is too fond of the French Negroes, it is supposed he is harboured
by some of them. He had on when he went away a pair of brown trowsers, and
a jacket of the same colour, with green cape and cuffs and white metal
buttons, but it is very probable he may have changed his dress, as he
carried other clothes with him.
A reward of Fifty Dollars will be paid to any person that will give
information of his being harbored by a White and Twenty-five Dollars if by
a Black Person, on conviction of the offender.

TEN DOLLARS REWARD
Ran-away from his Master on the 6th ultimo, a MULATTO FELLOW named DICK,
about 20 years old, five feet nine or ten inches high; a stout well-built
Fellow, SPEAKS ENGLISH VERY WELL. It will be difficult to describe his
dress, as he carried a quantity of clothing with him, when he absented
himself.
The above reward will be paid to whoever shall have secured him, so that he
may be returned to his Master.
Masters of vessels and all other persons are cautioned against harbouring
said fellow, as they will incur the penalties of the law in that case.
