RAN away from the subscriber, the 22d instant (September) a well made likely mulatto slave named PETER; he has a very cheerful countenance and large features, lisps a little, speaks quick, his hair when combed is rather long, has no mark but a little scar on his arm from inoculation; he took with him a good feather bed, blankets, cotton sheets, and a blue rug, a great number of clothes, among them a half worn London brown serge coat, a white homespun serge jacket with double pockets, a pair of Bristol stone sleeve buttons, &c. &c. He is master of most trades. I have great reason to judge he was tempted to run away by some persons on board of Capt. Bushman, Commander of Mr. David Ross's brig (that took in a load of corn) as he certainly was on board that brig; he stayed in Norfolk some time, but the brig has sailed, and he is not to be found. I will give ten dollars, if taken in this State, to any person that will deliver him to me, or secure him in gaol; and twenty dollars if taken out of the State. JUDITH BROWN.
