Harry is a bright mulatto,

between thiny and thirty-five
years of sge, near six feet high, and
weighs about one hundred and seven

well acquainted with all kinds of
work usually done on a farm; he is a
very intelligent ingenious fellow, well
calculated to pass himself for a free
man, which no doubt he will attempt
to do; he is well known in this coun
ty, particularly in this and the neigh

Esq. where he has a wife. The a

l'hey return their most cordial thanks to
their friends in the Southern States, for
their support in the persecution now car
rying ea against them, for their i efusal to
join a combination in fixing one tariff of
prir.es for Crockery, throughout the
ti ade. It is mainlv attributable to the in-
!lucnc,c ot cu'-' Soutiu' h;k-nds that we
"uence
lKU ' been enabled to varvive thus fa.i,jn
most trving situation; exposed to the
combined influence and capital of the
whole trade, endeavoring to effect our
ruin and expulsion from business. Wc
pledge ourselves to our friends to give
them every satisfaction in our power as
regards the quvlity of our good:,,, the ex
cellence of ou,- packers and the lowness
of cur prices for Cash or City Acceptan
ces; and in return, solicit from them a
continuance of the:r patronage, and par
ticularly i tque t those who have influ
ence with their friends to exert it in our
behalf, as we trust the cause is one they
are all interested in, and much benefit
will f verue to us from their friendly acts
in this way. It has been said, the Com
bination was broken un. As it retards
j . ices, this is true, imd all, we think,
friends or foes will allow that we have
I effected this change; but we do assure
our friends, that at no period since we
j commenced our system of. unshackled
prices were we in greater want of asvist
1 ance than at the n resent, moment. This
from supp'yiiu- us;-:-: nr.e, no vexation
or trouble whicii tie- ;:alice of men could
devise has been neglecteel in this struggle
to subdue us. We once more call upon
every friend of a free trade to come un to
our support, and pledge ourselves to give
them no cause to repent ot their liberality.

Gaudaloupc. JN'ews has
been received at New-York, by
Capt. Shackleford of the schr.
Compeer, that the inhabitants
of Gamialoupe were very much
alarmed in consequence of se
veral families having been poi
soned by the negroes. About
300 of the latter have been im
ptisoncd on Pigeon Island.
Antigua. An extract of a
lf;tier in the Nevv-Ilaven Adver
tiser, dated Antigua, March 24,
says: "This island is in a state
of insurrectiou....alI business
suspended martial law in
force.. ..and nobody sleeps but
on their arms. Prompt mea
sures, however, have been ta
ken.. ..some slaves, supposed to
be ringleaders, apprehended....
and trials by court martial
commence to-morrow. We
hope a few days may restore or
der and tranquility."
Letters, dated 7th April, have
been received in New-York,
which state that the disturban
ces in Antigua were entirely
quelled.
Colombia. Accounts from
Colombia represent that coun
try as in a wretched state of
confusion. Since the death of
Bolivar, it seems that every pet
ty miliary chief who has cun
ning enough to raise a band of
ruffians, has power to inflict
deep calamities upon his iil
faled country.
Jlucnos Ayrts. Letter from
an ollicer of the Vandalia sloop
of war, lying at Rio de Janeiro,
to his friend in Washington,
dated Feb. 23, 1331: .
."By an arrival from Monte
Video, yesterday, we received
accounts of the city and prov
ince of Buenos Ayres being
again in a very distracted state;
Rosas and Paez having com
menced hostilities against each
other, and -orders from the
commander to repair with' all
despatch to the river, in order
if it should be necessary, to
give protection to our country-j
men, and their property. A
letter received by an officer on
board from the Hudson, now
lying at Monte Video, states
that -they are in Buenos Ayres
obliging every person to take
up arms heretofore the Ame
ricans and Englishmen have
been exempted from that duty."
Mexico. Advices from the
capital of Mexico to the 2Gh of
Mai'ch, represent the couvilry to
be tranquil. The National
Congress were occupied with
the -proposed reforms of the
Constitution.
Ch in a. Recent a c r o tm t s
from China speak of a dreadful
earthquake in that country which
destroyed a number of towns.
No particulars are given it is
rumored that between 500,000
and one million of human be
ings must have perished at
Canton.
" England. In the British
House of Commons, Mr. Per
cival presented a petition pray
ing that a general fast might be
annointed. Mr. Hunt asked if
the honorable member was a
ware that one-third of the popu-
lation of England fasted every
day? Mr. P. asked if he knew
who was the Almighty dispen
ser of blessings and the giver of
all goodness! Mr. 11. was per
fectly aware of all this,and aiso
aware that such as Mr. P. tonk
nway from the poor what the
Almighty gave them.
Ireland. The famine in ma
ny parts of Ireland is distress
ing. A public meeting was
held in London on the 21th
March, at which the Lcni May
or presided, to devise tempora
ry means of relief. A state
ment containing extracts from
letters, was distributed in the
room, from which it appeared
that the distress was most ap
palling; several persons had
died from starvation, and at
that present time, in the six pa
rishes of Westport alone, there
were 31,904 persons wholly
without food.
Sanctuary in Tarawa?.- The

Vd one Sabbath rv rting in a
dissenting chapel at ;- nport
town of thr west ol Ej.vhind.
When the preacher useonded
thc'pulpit he thus addressed his
hearers: "My brethren, before
proceeding to the duties of this
evening, allow me to relate a
short anecdote. Many years
have now elapsed since I was
last within the walls of this
house. Upon that evening the
pastor of the congregation (of
which many now present must
have formed a part) addressed
his hearers for the same bene
volent purpose, as that for
which 1 am now about to ap
peal to you. Amongst .he
hearers came three evil dis
posed young men, with the in
tention not only of scollirifr at
the Minister of God, but with
their pockets filled with stones.
for the purpose- of assaulting
mm. Alter the 'Minister had
spoken a few sen tenons, one of
the three said, him, let us
be at him now;' but the second
replied, 'no, stop till we hear
what he makes of this point.'
J he Minister went on for some
lime, when the second said,
We've hpard enough now,
throw!' but the third interfered.
saying, 'He's tiot so foolish as I
expected, let us hear mm out.
The preacher concluded his
discourse without being inter
rupted, and then went home
amidst the blessings of his hear
ers, and with the approbation
ot uod in his heart. Now
mark me, my brethren-of those
three young men, one of them
was executed a few months ago
at Newgate for forgery; the se
cond at this moment lies under
sentence of death in the gaol of
this city for murder; the other,"
continued the Minister with
great emotion, "the third, thro
the infinite goodness of Cod, is
even noic about to 'address you
listen to him"
