Whereas intelligence has been received that the Yellow Fever is raging with great violence in several parts of the United States of North-America, and it being of the utmost consequence to establish the necessary precautions to prevent this fatal contagion from being introduced into these Colonies by Vessels coming from those parts. I therefore have thought fit to issue this my Proclamation, thereby signifying and directing all whom it may concern, that from this date until further Orders, all Ships or Vessels coming from any part within the United States of North America, shall, previous to their being admitted to Sail up either of the Rivers of Essequebo, Demerary or Berbice, be inspected and examined by the proper Officer of Health thereto authorised at the expenee [sic] of such Ships or Vessels; the said Officer of Health is in consequence immediately on any such Ship or Vessel having come to Anchor off the Forts, to repair on board, and after having examined the Crew and Cargo to give in a Certificate or Report thereof to me, the Commandeur of Essequebo or Fiscaal of Berbice respectively, exclusive of which, such Ships or Vessels shall moreover be obliged to perform Quarantaine [sic], during twenty Days or such shorter space of Time as circumstances may admit of, viz: in Demerary below or outside Fort William Frederick, in Essequebo at the distance of half a Mile from Fort Island, and in Berbice below Fort St. Andrew; which Quarantaine [sic] being expired and a Certificate being produced of their being no infection on board, the usual Permit shall then be given for such Ships or Vessels sailing up the River.
And it is likewise Ordered that during such Quarantaine [sic] it shall not be allowed for any Boat or Boats being sent from such Ships or Vessels to the Shore, nor any Boat from any other Ships or Vessels anchored in either of the Rivers, to go along side of the Ship or Vessel so performing Quarantaine [sic].
