There is now in the possession of the subscribers a small box, imported in the Fauquier, Captain Necks, marked MP in a piece, No. 2, containing a satin gown and coat, three fans, an egret, a piece of died yellow silk, and a Persian lining for it. These things were set in from England about two years ago to Mann Page, Esq., who returned them, as they did not belong to him. The owner may have them, on paying the charge of dying, etc. BALFOUR & BARRAUD.
