Whereas we have taken into our consideration the beneficial consequences which have resulted from the improved state of the Public Roads throughout the Colony and which are now generally acknowledged and ascertained, insomuch that the Petitioners beforementioned have of their own accord requested to be Subjected, in this respect, to the same Regulations with the Planters in the other Districts of the Colony.

And that no ignorance may be pretended of this our Publication, the same shall be Published and sent round to every Estate in the District beforementioned.

The Committee for carrying into Execution the Establishment of an Hospital for Sick Seamen, regret exceedingly that the Meeting for that Purpose was so thinly attended on Saturday: An Establishment in which Humanity is so greatly interested, and which on all sides is admitted to be so desirable, can only be carried into complete Execution by the unanimous Endeavours of the majority of the Colony. The Funds required are too extensive for the means of a few Individuals, however strongly they may be actuated by the desire of Saving the Lives and administering to the Comforts in the moments of severe Sickness of so many valuable Seamen. - It is most earnestly hoped that the Gentlemen Proprietors or Attornies for the different Estates will come forward for this very benevolent Purpose and signify, either by Subscription at the Union Coffee House, or by a Line addressed there, the Amount of their Support, that the Committee may be enabled to judge of their Power of completing their Object: - They the more earnestly intreat that this may be done, as speedily as possible, as they are informed a Report has been circulated of their having abandoned the Establishment; an Idea the Committee have never for a Moment entertained, nor will they do so, unless they have the Mortification to experience the Want of a sufficient Support, which from their knowledge of the Colony they flatter themselves they shall not be reduced to entertain.
Union Coffee-House, 30th August 1805.
