Notice is hereby given, that when His Excellency the Acting Lieutenant Governor is at home for the purpose of transacting Business, a Union Jack will be kept flying at the Government Secretary's Office.
By His Excellency's Command,
Geo. Eddington, Gov. Secty.
King's House Stabroek,
17th October, 1807.

By His Excellency Colonel Robert Nicholson, Acting Lieut. Governor in and over the Colonies of Essequebo and Demerary, and their Dependencies, &c. &c. &c.
Whereas it appears from the reports made to me, that the Proclamation of His Excellency Brigadier-General Montgomerie, dated the 23d of August 1807, and his letter to Major Macrae dated the 24th of the same Month, requiring the regular attendance of the Militia at Drills and Parades appointed have not been generally obeyed; - I consider it my duty to see enforced the Orders contained therein, so evidently for the benifit [sic] and internal tranquility of these Colonies: - and it further appears to me that the Regulations made by the Honorable Court of Policy, for the Government of the Burgher Militia, ave [sic] not strictly observed, and that in particular the 5th and 7th Articles are disregarded, by which many Persons have been a considerable time in these Colonies without being enrolled, or affording the Aid all good Subjects are required to give to preserve good order.
I therefore require and Command all those who have not enrolled themselves in the Militia of these Colonies to do so before the 24th Inst. or they will be proceeded against as the Law directs. - and in order that none may plead ignorance thereof this Proclamation is to be Published in both the News-Papers of these Colonies.
Given under my Hand and Seal at the King's House in Stabroek, Demerary this 16th day of October 1807.
Robt. Nicholson.
By His Excellency's Command,
Geo. Eddington, Govt. Secty.

Notice. [heading]
The Blacksmith and Horse Shoeing Business is now carried on at the Shop of the late A. McAulay, by an able Person, who will endeavour to give general satisfaction.
Bridge-Town, October 17th 1807.

His Excellency the Lieut.-Governor has shewn a promptness worthy of the thanks of these Colonies, having upon the first representation made to him, of the depredation of the Picaroons on the West coast, engaged two appropriate Vessels to accompany His Majesty's Brig Demerary to defeat them and keep the Coast clear of such Robbers. We sincerely hope we may see them brought into this River.
A party of the Royals and 4th W.I. Regt. are gone with the Boats, one of which belongs to A. Ashley, Esq. - Which was intended to be manned with 35 People, rows 20 Oars, and draws very little water, so that she can come inside of the Canoes, and is upon the whole the best calculated Vessel for the attack of our present enemies. - The expeditious equipment of the above little squadron, does the highest credit to Capt. Shephard, of the Demerary.

We are informed by a correspondent, that on Thursday the 8th instant, about mid-day, on the East Point of Leguan there was some very heavy Thunder attended with vivid Lightning, which struck the Cornelia Wind Mill (an Estate belonging to the late Bart. Day, deceased), shivered to pieces the upper point and arm, run horizontally along the shaft (without injuring it) to the inside of the Mill, shivered two of the shores to splinters, shook a great deal of mortar out of the Brick work and in its exit, through the Spindle door, cut many of the Bricks in as smooth a manner as if done by a sharp instrument.

Died. - On the 6th Instant, at Plantation Sage-Pond, Mrs. Anna Louisa Winandy, (Born Morreau) Wife of N. Winandy Esq. who had the misfortune to loose his only Son, Franc[cedilla]ois, about three Weeks prior to his Wife's Death.
On Tuesday last, Mr. Youngs Turner.

Vessels Entered and Cleared since our last.

ENTERED
Brig Harriot, John Wells, from Boston.
---- George Washington, John Luke, Portsmouth.
Schr. Venus, G. Seymour, Surinam.

CLEARED
