George-Town, 1st January, 1817.

H. De Luy, with profound respect, humbly begs leave to inform his Friends and the Public, he intends quitting the colony for a few months, in order to recover his health, which is much impaired by the restraint necessarily occasioned by a strict attention to business; he, in consequence, requests all persons who have left articles at his shop, to send for themi in the course of the present month - and all those indebted to him, will be kind enough to pay off their accounts, that he may be enabled to meet the demands against him. - He intends leaving the care of his shop, and what articles may remain at his departure, to the care of Miss Kitty Hubbard. He has appointed Mr. H. Maggee, his attorney during his absence.
George-Town, 1st January, 1817.
