Ran away on Saturday last, the 25th instant, from the brigantine Andrew Doria, Capt. Robinson, a Negro man named Patrick Dennis, marked with the smallpox. He had on a blue jersey great coat, old shoes and stockings, and canvas trousers. He was taken in the prize sloop Racehorse, and is supposed to be concealed in town, or gone to Wilmington in hopes of making his escape in some of the vessels there ready to sail. Whoever apprehends said Negro, and delivers him to Capt. Robinson, or secures him in any jail, shall have Eight Dollars reward, and reasonable charges.
