RUN away from the subscriber, the 21st of July , a mulatto girl named KATE , or Catharine , about 5 feet high, has been brought up in the house from her infantry, and can work well with a needle. She is 19 or 20 years of age, has a smiling countenance when spoke to, and at some illness is rather impertinent. She has endeavoured to pass for a free girl, and was going to the West Indies with the mate of some vessel, but was detected. She has now made a second elopement. I imagine she may be lurking about some of the shores, in order to get off. She has a great umber of very good clothes, therefore it is uncertain what she may have with her. I will give a reward of 3l. to any person that will deliver her to col. John Wilson , or Mrs. Mary Bradley , at the N.W. Landing, Norfolk county, or to the jailer of Elizabeth City .
W. BRADLEY.
