WANTS A SITUATION. [heading]
A Young Man of unexceptionable Character, and who can produce Certificates of his Abilities, &c. from the Houses he had the honour to do business for last. He is perfect master of Book-keeping and Measurement in its various branches, having lived width Merchants in that trade; and he flatters himself he would be an acquisition to any Merchant House now in want of such a person. Letters directed to X. Y. at the Printer of this Paper, will be attended to
Stabroek, June 21, 1806.

All those who are indebted to Louis D'Helliand & Co. are requested to pay to him only; and all those to whom the said Firm is indebted, must apply to him for payment; as no other transactions can be approved by

POST OFFICE. [heading]
The Post Master very earnestly requests the Merchant of Demerary, to caution the Masters of Vessels consigned to their address, against continuing to infringe an Act of Parliament, which subjects them and their ships to great inconvenience and heavy penalties.
He has such convincing proofs of nearly each of the Masters of the last fleet having acted in direct opposition to it, that the Hon. the Fiscal could, without difficulty, have instantly affixed the fines; but this would have been so unpleasant to the Post Master, that he has again deferred his complaint, and in this Advertisement subjoined the Abstract from the Act itself; still hoping that Merchants, for their own sake, as well as his (above paltry considerations), will rather assist him in restoring energy and regularity to a department so essential to themselves, than by allowing the masters to continue in error, cramp the powers and resources of the Post Office.

Abstract from the Act of Parliament 8th Geo. 3. Chap. 25. Sec. 3. "That no Ship or Vessel shall be permitted to break bulk, or to make entry, in any port belonging to Great Britain, until all letters and packets brought by any Master of any such ship or vessel, or by any of his Company, or any Passenger on board the same, to any part in the said dominions, where Ports are, or hereafter may be established, and from whence such letters and packets can or may be dispatched by Post, shall be delivered to the Deputy, or Deputies, or Agents of the said Post-Master General for the time being, to be by him, or them, forwarded according to their respective directions, in the same course that other letters are sent from such respective posts; and all Masters of vessels, Mariners, Passengers, and other persons, neglecting, or refusing to deliver (at the Post Office) the letters or packets brought by them as aforesaid, shall for every such neglect or refusal, respectively, forfeit the sum of Twenty Pounds, to be sued for and recovered by action of debt, plaint, bill, or information, in any Court of Record within the Kingdom, Colony, Plantation, or place where the offence shall be committed."
N.B. in addition to the foregoing, there is a Colonial fine of Twenty five Guilders for every letter, to the Hon. the Fiscal.
Theophilus Williams,
Stabroek, June 21, 1806. Post Master.

N. Volkerts respectfully informs his Subscribers and the Public, that, after next Saturday, when his second Three Months' Account will be closed, this Paper will cease to be printed by him. It will then commence under the name of the person who for some time has been principally connected with the management of it, and under whose care and attention, fostered by the generous [illegible] of a discerning Public, he is proud to say, that The Essequebo and Demerary Gazette has obtained an Extent of Circulation heretofore unknown in these Colonies.
In thus withdrawing himself from public notice, N. V. cannot refrain from endeavouring to express his grateful acknowledgments to those Friends, who, by their kind assistance and good offices, in the hour of need, have enabled him to announce the above change in so truly satisfactory a manner.
Stabroek, June 21, 1806.

We have received a letter signed "Pluto," complaining bitterly of his name having been improperly (and without authority) used by a learned Gentleman of the Law in this town, who must, he asserts, from a variety of causes incidental to his practice of the profession, be too intimately acquainted with him, to commit any such mistake through ignorance; but, besides having so much more important matter for our paper this week, we decline the insertion of it, not wishing to have any connection with his infernal Highness Pluto, however we may occasionally like a little communication from Plutus. We therefore say - "Get thee hence, Satan!" prefer thy complaint elsewhere: we will have nothing to do with thee.
"Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God"
