Runaway Slaves.
RANAWAY on the 2d day of August, from the plantation of
Mr. N. Declouet at the Attakapas, two slaves, to wit : Henry ; a
mulatto fellow about 40 years old, 5 feet ten inches high French
measure, bearing in the bottom of his breast a wen about as big
as an egg ; and Gros-Jean, a negro man, a little reddish, about
38 years old and of the same stature as the mulatto, the buttocks
and back of whom are stamped with lashes. It is believed that
they have gone up to the Mississippi Territory. The mulatto is
English by birth, and speaks besides the French and Spanish
languages :—the negro is creole and speaks both French and
English. A liberal reward will be given to any person stopping
them and giving information thereof to their master.
