Deserted this day from the Tormentor armed boat, belonging to this state, William Alford, who followed labouring down towards Chester, and says his friends live nigh there. He is about eighteen or nineteen years of age, near five feet four inches high; had on a white country cloth coat and jacket, old breeches, a new check shirt, new shoes and stockings, and brass buckles; he has fair hair, and has never had the smallpox. Whoever secures said deserter, so that I get him again, shall have Four Dollars reward, and reasonable charges.

N.B. He has been seen within this day or two, skulking about this city.
