RAN AWAY, On the 22d of April, 1813, my Negro Fellow, named BAR- CUS; had on when he went away a pair of white homespun pantaloons, and took away with him a pair of brown panta- loons patched with blue on the knees, and has a sore on one of his legs, formerly the property of Richard Leitchmare. Barcus is about five feet five inches high, has very large whiskers and wears a handkerchief round his head--his head is gray; he is well known in town. A reward of Five Dollars will be given to any person who will lodge him in the Work-House, or deliver him to his master in King-street.
