high, a reddish complexion, walking with his back crooked,
having a scar about half an inch long on the left cheek, and

night of the 8-9th inst. with an iron collar and a ring round his
leg—He speaks French and English, and was purchased from
the firm of Reynaud & Peytavin.—A handsome reward will be
given to whomever shall stop said negro & lodge him in the
jail of New Orleans, and give the owners notice thereof.
Captains and masters of vessels are forbidden harboring said
negro, otherwise they will be prosecuted with the utmost rigor
of the law.
