PROCLAMATION, [heading]
By His Excellency Major-General Hugh Lyle Carmichael, Acting-Governor in and over the United Colonies of Demerary and Essequebo - and the Honourable Court of Policy of said Colonies: -
Unto all whom it may concern, Greeting, be it known:
WHEREAS, by virtue of the powers vested in me, by His Majesty's Instructions, to alter and amend, from time to time, the Laws and Regulations of these Colonies, subject, however, to His Majesty's approbation -
I have thought fit, by and with the advice and consent of the Hon. Court of Policy, to Combine the Board of Electors with that of Financial Representatives; to extend the Right of Suffrage to all such persons, as may pay the Income-Tax on f. 10,000 per ann. who shall have an equal right to vote in all elections, in the same manner as those who are possessed of 25 Negroes as by the former Regulations.
And whereas, it appears necessary to confine the right of voting to persons, who may be Attornies, Sequestrators, or Representatives of various Plantations - it is hereby enacted, that all persons, without distinction, who shall pay the Tax on Income of f. 10,000 per annum, as well as those who are possessed of twenty-five Negroes, shall be entitled to Vote for the Combined-Board of Kiezers and Financial Representatives, now to be convened; but that no person being Attorney or Representative of Several Plantations, shall be entitled to more than two Votes for the said Plantations, however numerous they may be, exclusive of his personal right of voting either as proprietor of negroes, or by virtue of a payment of his income-tax.
Members, elected for the Combined-College of Kiezers and Financial Representatives, to serve two years. The two eldest members to got out at the end of two years, and their places to be supplied by a new election, and so on every year afterwards.
And that no ignorance may be pretended of this our Ordinance, the same shall be printed and published, and affixed for general information.
Thus enacted in the Extraordinary Meeting of the Honourable Court of Policy aforesaid, held at the King's-House, in George-Town, Demerary, on the 7th of September, and Published the 8th following.

FOREIGN-INTELLIGENCE. [heading]

BRITISH AMERICA. [heading]

The Maidstone frigate left Plymouth June 17. - Dispatches, in cypher, from the Government of the United States to that of France had been intercepted. We understand they informed of the time when war was to be declared against Great Britain; and subsequent sailing of the American squadron to a place of rendezvous of one from France, when they were to act together on; previously digested plan of operations - the Government of Great Britain becoming consequently aware of the contemplated measures of the United States had, it is said, ordered 10 sail of the line and ?0 [illegible first digit] frigates, to be immediately prepared for service in North-America.

Off Cape Sable, on Wednesdy last, the Colibre fell in with H.M.S Spartan, and received on board the crew of an American privateer which the Spartan had sunk the day before.

A pilot boat sailed from New-York, for England, on the 20th ult. She carried official intelligence of the Declaration of War by the United States.

It seems that the War is very unpopular in the greater part of America. Most of the States have remonstrated against it; and many are determined not to give Government the least assistance in its prosecution. Although General Officers had been appointed to command the Militia in those States adjoining British America, no attention had been paid to their directions, the people having come to the resolution of not being employed in any offensive operation, observing that they have territory sufficient but that they would be ready to defend what they were already in possession of.
We are led to believe one of their frigates has had a narrow escape, having been chased by our three days; but the wind favouring her, she got into Boston, without receiving any considerable injury. The Americans are said to be very apprehensive that Commodore Rodgers, in the President, and the other ships under his direction, will fall into our possession, for there seems to be a very sharp look-out for them - The Africa, Shannon, Guerriere, AEolus, Belvidera, and some small cruisers, being off Sandy-Hook, in the hopes of an early rencounter.
