20 dollar reward Ran away from the subscriber on Sunday night 23d ult his negro woman called Eulaha aged about 28 of reddish complexion, middling size, stout, and rather clumsey, walking with a sort of difficult as if lame of one foot, slightly marked on the face with African marks which at first appear like pock marks, a whole in the middle of the upper lip made probably to wear a ring. She speaks French, English and Spanish but having been riased in a French family her pronunciation of both English and Spanish is incorrect. She carried a large bundle of clothing of her own consisting of some muslin, calico, and checkered homespun dresses, blankets, handkerchiefs, and together with some utensils of blue Liverpool china. She always wears a a coloured handkerchief around the head and will probably wear on her way a cloak of fine gray bath coating. All persons are warned against harboring or taking out of the territory said wench or they will be prosecuted to the extent of the law.
The above reward will be paid to any person catching the said negro wench and all expenses for sending her or going after her and returning her to subscriber, will be cheerfully compensated. Also, a reward of $5 to any person that give any information by which she may be recovered. From the circumstances of a negro man named Ben, the property of Captain James R. Hanhan and a Negro woman Tomasa of Mrs. Trentes having run away on the same day, it is probable that these three Negroes are together and it is supposed their intention is to cross over to Havana or retire to the Indian nation.
