To all to whom these shall come or may concern, Greeting! Be it known:
Whereas on the 11th of April last I issued a Proclamation (agreeable to the Directions sent to me by His Excellency Governor Bentinck), thereby desiring all such Inhabitants of this Colony as are intitled [sic] to vote for the Election of the existing Vacancy of five Members of the Kiezers or Electors College, and of three Finantial [sic] Representatives, occassioned by the Removal of Messrs. R. Nugent, W. Deeges, F. Alstein, L. Sissing, and Jn. [sic] Hubbard, as Electors, and of the three last-mentioned as Finantial Representatives, by Virtue of His Excellency Governor Bentinck's Proclamation dated the 28th March last to send in their Votes in Writing at the Commandement Secretary's Office from that day to the first of June then next following (Sundays only excepted0; - And Whereas on the 1st day of June aforesaid no Votes whatever were delivered into the Box prepared for that purpose, although my said Proclamation was duly sent round for Lecture, and even undersigned by almost every Planter and other Inhabitant being under this Jurisdiction, by which means no Election of my Kiezers or Electors could take place on the day prefixed; - And Whereas I have on the 15th May last issued another Proclamation, thereby desiring the Inhabitants of this Colony competent to Vote for the Election of a Member in the said College of Kiezers or Electors in the stead of Charles Clifton Esqr. now deceased, to send in their Votes in Writing, from that day to the 27th of this present Month.
I therefore think fit to issue this my Proclamation, hereby inviting again all the Inhabitants aforesaid to send their Votes at the same time for the Election of six Kiezers and three Finantial Representatives (which are still Vacant.) from this day to the 27th of this present Month, in the same manner as it has been desired by my former Proclamations.
And in order that no Ignorance hereof may be pretended, this shall be Published and posted up as customary, and also inserted in the Essequebo and Demerary Gazette.

By the arrival of the Ariadne, in 35 days from Glasgow, the contents of the second April Mail, are completely anticipated, we have been obligingly favoured with a sight of London Papers to the 30th of April, in which we find that his Majesty has dissolved the Parliament after having had but one Session, and having existed 4 month. His Majesty is desirous, from the new arrangements that have lately taken place, to take the sense of the Nation, at this important Crisis. (See the Proclamation.)

Yesterday arrived here in 7 days from Barbados his Majesty's Schooner Subtle with Dispatches. Neither the second April or first May Mail had arrived there, though both due, it is much to be feared that the second April mail is taken.

About 16 days ago the Boats of the Subtle cut out of the Port of St. Pierre's, a Brig of 2 guns and 60 men, which was protected by a Battery of 3 guns and 40 men ashore, who, at every discharge from the Boats were seen running from their quarters - after a considerable resistance the Brig was carried with the loss of 3 men only, and brought up safely to Barbados.

The Fame, Capt. Brand, arrived on Wednesday last, with the Brig Hercules and Brig Sisters, they were of the London Fleet, left Portsmouth on the 16th of April.

On Tuesday Morning the vessels from windward joined those from hence under, the Convoy of the Arab sloop of war, at noon they were all completely under way, and at 2 o'clock all out of sight of land.

We are sorry to find that the Eliza letter of marque, has been captured by the enemy and carried into Guadaloupe.

We understand that the Canada, 74, and Northumberland 74, are both going home to be refitted.

We understand it is Admiral Cochrane's intention to send the Netley, Skip Jack, and 2 other small vessels to Cruise off the mouth of the Oronoque.

We are happy to announce that by a Letter received this day from His Excellency Governor Bentinck, he is safe arrived at St. Kitt's in very improved health, and had taken his passage in the Freeling Packet for England; which was to sail in two days after the date of his Letter.

The Ball on Monday next, being given in honor of His Majesty's Birth Day, will no doubt attract a numerous and splendid assemblage. Mr. Campbell has received orders to pepare [sic] a Supper Table of One Hundred Covers.

The following article has been handed us for insertion: -
A Publick Nuisance.
The Wreck of the Ship Princess Royal, that was burnt, has been floating up and down the River, (the intolerable stench from which is sufficient to produce an infectious disorder among the shipping)and now lays opposite la Bourgade. It is surprising that those whose business it is to remove every inconvenience on the River, should be so neglectful of their duty.
An Observer upon the river.

Vessels Entered since our last.
