Essequebo and Demerary Gazette 1806 March 22

 
Saturday, the 22d of March.

To Mr. N. Volkerts, Printer [heading]
I am directed by the Governor to inform you, that His Excellency has seen with much displeasure some illiberal and ill natured reflections and paragraphs which have lately appeared in your weekly papers. As they can have no other tendency than, by exciting irritation and animosity among the inhabitants, to disturb the tranquillity of this Colony, His Excellency expects you will conduct your publication with more propriety in future, and thereby prevent the necessity of a more severe correction.
You are required to publish this Reprimand in your next paper.
