'From a 1811 Liverpool Mercury Newspaper'.

'Advertisements' from the 'Liverpool Mercury', dated Friday September 20th, 1811.

For Amelia Island, the American ship Florida, Charles Stubbs, Master, about 300 tons burthen, and sails very well, as her hold will be filled with salt, she will be ready for sea in a few days, and will receive such goods only as may be offered during the time that part of her cargo is going on board. For the terms of freight or passage apply to Capt. Stubbs on board, in George's Dock, or to W. and R. Rathbone (12th. September, 1811).

For New York (with passengers only), the coppered American ship Lydia, Isaac Waite, Master, she is about 380 tons burthen, and sails uncommonly fast, having made her passage from New York in 22 days.In every other respect, she will be found a very eligible conveyance; her cabin accommadation being handsomely fitted up, and her steerage roomy and convenient. For terms of passage, or any further particulars, apply to Captain Waite, on board in George's Dock, or R. Rathbone.

Should the above be of interest to you, you are advised to view the original article, as this may not be an exact 'transcript'.
