Essequebo and Demerary

Royal Gazette.

Saturday, July 2d, 1808.

By His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Ross, Acting Lieut. Governor in and over the Colonies and Dependent Districts of Essequebo and Demerary, President in all Courts and Colleges, &c. &c. &c.
Whereas the Officer of Health of these Colonies has reported to me that the measures which have been adopted to prevent the Small-Pox from Spreading in this Colony, in consequence of the few instances of that disorder which had lately occurred, have so far succeded [sic] as to render unnecessary any further continuance of the precautions directed by the Proclamation of Brigr: General Nicholson of the 14th May last.
I therefore have thought fit to issue this my Proclamation, hereby giving Public Notice that the Passes for Hucksters will again be issued, and that such Passes as had not expired at the time of Brigr. General Nicholson issuing the aforesaid Proclamation, will be renewed, at the Government Secretary's Office; it being consequently again allowed for Hucksters to travel through the Country after such Passes shall have been issued to them.
If however, contrary to expectation, any fresh case of Small-Pox should again occur, the precautions recommended by the abovementioned Proclamation, with respect to the treatment of the Patients, are still to be observed, and report thereof immediately made to the Officer of Health, as directed by the said Proclamation.
Done at the King's House in the Town of Stabroek, Demerary, this 25th day of June 1808.
A. Ross.
Actg. Lt. Governor.

ENTERED [heading]
Ship Belleisle, W. Gemmill, from Madeira.

CLEARED [heading]
Schr. Gingle, Th. Davis, for Barbados.

On Wednesday morning last a small Sloop, Capt. Boumie, arrived here from Barbados, he was boarded in Carlisle Bay, by the first Lieut. of the Bellisle, who informed him that a Vessel had just arrived, in 26 days from England, which had brought an account of a very serious insurrection having taken place in Madrid; - that 9000 of the French Troops had been distroyed [sic] by the Populace, to whom they were very obnoxious: - which circumstance may easily be credited, when we look at the Proclamation of the New King, upon Murat and his Troops entering that Capital on the 26th of March, in which it appears he was evidently doubtful of the manner in which they would be received. The unauthenticated irregular way in which this account has reached us, renders it necessary we should not say more respecting it, altho' the same report was brought by the Bellisle from Madeira, last Week, where it stood on no better ground than report.

On Wednesday Evening His Majesty's Schooner Laura, (formerly a Cutter) Lt. Yetts, arrived from Barbados. She is come to Convoy the Trade from this and Berbice, for which place she sails on Monday, and will be off the Bar here on the 8th. The Laura has brought over 54 Convalescents belonging to the Royals.
