PROCLAMATION. [heading]

By His Honor Lieutenant Colonel Robert Nicholson, Lieutenant Governor in and over the Colonies of Essequebo, Demerary and Berbice and their Dependencies, &c. &c. &c.
Whereas it appears by recent accounts from the United States of America that the infectious [sic] Fever which lately raged there has entirely ceased, and there being consequently no longer any room to apprehend its being brought to these Colonies by Vessels coming from those parts; I therefore have thought fit by these presents to revoke the Proclamation issued on the 13th of November last relative to the performance of Quarantine by Ships and Vessels arriving from American Ports; all Public Officers under government whom it concerns, being ordered to take Notice thereof accordingly.
Given at Government-House in Demerary, this 20th of December 1803.
Robert Nicholson,
Lieut. Governor.
By Command.
C. T. Tinne, Gov. Secty.

The Subscriber, as Editor and Printer of this Paper, informs the Public in general, that the Office as above-mentioned was given over to him on the 1st of October last, by Mr. Ns. Volkerts, and as that Gentleman had receiv'd Subscriptions to the last of the present Month, consequently the delivery of his Paper will cease on that Day; He therefore takes this method of requesting a continuance of the Public favor, and assures the Community at large, it shall be his unabating Zeal to retain and justify their Friendship: He further Solicits his Friends, and all those whom honor him with their Commands, to come forward and assist him with their Subscriptions for the ensuing Year, which will the better enable him to Conduct his Press (not only in a manner suitable to his own inclination) but to the general satisfaction of his Patronizers.
