GENERAL ORDERS. [heading]
Major Arthur Blair, Commandant of the Demerary Cavalry, having declared to His Excellency the governor, that he would not in all points obey the Orders of the Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant of all Colonial Corps, although this was specified in the Commission given him by the Governor, His Excellency cannot permit so palpable a disobedience of Orders, and therefore feels himself under the necessity of superseding Major A. Blair in his Rank and Command of the Demerary Cavalry.
The Governor regrets exceedingly, that such a measure, however unavoidable, should be required for the good of the service. He will at the same time feel happy to give to the Officer on whom the Command now devolves, every necessary support, for the respectability and discipline of the Corps.

Demerary den 24 April 1806. J. H. Beckmann & Co.

The Gentlemen composing the Corps of the Royal Demerary Cavalry met this day at the New Union Coffee House, to take into consideration the General Orders inserted in our First Page, when they unanimously agreed to send in their resignations to Major A. Blair, their late Commandant. Some well-written Resolutions, expressive of their reasons for so doing, and their attachment to the Major, to whom they also voted a Sword of One Hundred Guineas value, were entered into, and signed by all present.

The intended inspection of the Militia by His Excellency Brigadier General Montgomerie, did not take place last Wednesday, on account of the rain.
The purpose for which the Militia were ordered out last Sunday morning, was to assist in the apprehension of Runaway and Bush Negroes; a number of whom, there was every reason to suppose, made a practice of coming into town on a Sunday. The object was, to surround the Market place with the Militia, and guard the avenues with Regulars, while the Dienaars did their duty inside. The plan was well conceived, and deserving of more success than it met with. After the business began, it was executed with spirit. The Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant Macrae, Major Macrae, Adjutant Brandt, &c. were all on the alert; and such was the exertion used, that every Male negro, who could not produce a satisfactory pass, was presently taken, and placed under a guard till owned by his Master. We believe, however, that those whom it was most desirable to secure, were all off before the operations commenced. Perhaps, on this peculiar occasion, a little less previous parade would have been productive of more benefits to the Dienaars, at any rate, should have been kept back till the moment of action.
The Surinam ships arrived off the mouth of this River on Thursday last, and the whole Fleet sailed on Friday.
The Paragon, Capt. Hart, one of the fleet from Berbice for Liverpool, came up this River and anchored off the Government Stelling on Sunday evening last, to refit, having lost her rudder irons, &c. in going over the Bar. The mother of J. T. Mathews, Esq. LL.D. and the relict of H. Glasier Esq. are passengers on board this ship.
Three French frigates are said to have lately sailed from Cayenne; some think, to look after Miranda.

ST. GEORGE'S DAY. [heading]
A grand Ball and Supper were given at the New Union Coffee House on Wednesday last, in honour of the day. The weather was extremely inauspicious, notwithstanding which, however, about 200 persons were present. The following Gentlemen undertook the management:

The Army and Navy.

The Dancing was then renewed, and continued till about four in the morning, when the Ladies retired; after which the glass went briskly round and several good songs were sung, though we cannot praise the general harmony. Our readers must excuse us for not giving a more particular account of this Meeting.
