ROBERT DOWNMAN, at a plantation of mine on Marattico creek, in Richmond county, where he always lived until lately, he is a dissembling artful fellow, and generally smiles when he speaks. I suspect he is lurking about a plantation belonging to CHARLES CARTER, Esq.; in Hanover county, at or near South Wales, there he has a wife named SEBRA, and perhaps at times about his old haunts at Morattico.
