PROCLAMATION. [heading]

By His Excellency Anthony Beaujon Esquire, Governor in and over the Colonies of Essequebo and Demerary, and their Dependencies &c. &c.
Whereas accounts have been received from the Islands that a Considerable Force of the Enemy has arrived in those Seas, and Whereas it is highly necessary (particularly in the present Crisis) that every possible means should be adopted to promote the Defence and Security of these His Majesty's Colonies, and it being the Duty of all British Subjects to come forward, when regularly called upon to take up Arms for resisting the Enemies of their King and Country; I have thought proper to issue this my Proclamation, hereby requiring, in His Majesty's name, all His natural born Subjects throughout these Colonies by the allegiance they owe to their Sovereign, to hold themselves prepared to Aid and assist in the Defence of these His Majesty's Possessions, should the same be Invaded or attacked by the Enemy, at the same time expressing the High satisfaction I feel at the alacrity with which a number of His Majesty's Loyal Subjects have already declared their readiness to extend their Services for the external Defence of the Colony.
Given at the King's house Stabroek, Demerary this 9th Day of march 1805.
Anthony Beaujon.
By His Excellency's Command.
P. F. Tinne,
D: Secty of the Colony.
GOD SAVE THE KING.

Advice having been received of an actual Declaration of War by the Court of Spain against Great Britain, I am to Signify to you the King's Commands, that you instantly cause the same to be made as Public as possible in the Settlement under your Government, that His Majesty's Subjects having this Notice may take care, on the one hand, to prevent any Mischief which otherwise they might suffer from the Spaniards, and on the other, may do their utmost in their several Stations to distress and annoy them, by making Captures of their Ships and by destroying their Commerce; for which purpose His Majesty has been pleased to order Letters of Marque or Commissions of Privateers to be granted in the usual manner: - But in the mean time you may give assurances to the Owners of all Armed Ships and Vessels, that His Majesty will consider them as having a Just Claim to the King's Share of all Spanish Ships and Property which they make Prize of.
