'From An 1811 Liverpool Mercury.'

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

For Lisbon, without convoy, the remarkably fast sailing Brig Providence, Willian Waldren, Master: burthen per register 130 tons; two-thirds of her cargo being positively engaged, and ready to go on board, she will be dispatched without delay. For freight or passage apply to Hunt and Steel, Brokers, Trafford's-lane. Who are in want of a steady active youth as an apprentice.(One concern).

For Philadelphia, the American ship Amazon, Geo. R. Turner, Master, burthen 265 tons- will proceed from hence to off Sandy Hook, and from thence to Philadelphia, if her cargo can there be legally admitted, otherwise she will proceed to Amelia Island, or some other port in North America, to be determined by a majority of the owners and consignees of the ship and cargo, according to value. Has two-thirds of her cargo engaged, and is intended to sail the latter end of this month. For freight of the remainder, or passage, having good accommodations, apply on board, in the Queen's Dock, or to Hobsons and Bolton.

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