Ten Dollars Reward, For apprehending my NEGRO BOY, CHARLES; he is about twelve years old, very black, rather slim made, a French Boy born in Port-au-Prince, speaks but little English, and is very artful and may endeavor to pass as free. Had on a short blue jacket, swandown or black satin waistcoat, oznaburg or nankeen trowsers, white shirt, round black hat, with a black velvet ribbon and guilt buckle. It is supposed he is harbored by some French negroes in this city.
