POYAIS SPECULATION. PROCLAMATION OF THE KING OF THE MOSQUITO SHORE. (COPY.) g. I, George Frederic the Second, by the grace of GOD, King of the Mosquito Nation, do hereby decree, That the grant of land given to Sir Gregor M' Gregor is null and void, he not having fulfilled, his contract with me agreeable to his stipulations' and having contracted a debt upon a part of my territory with out my consent, assuming to himself the title of Cazique of Poyais, and declaring the aforesaid grant to be an Independent State. " Be it known to all persons who have purchased lands, that the aforesaid lands shall be their lawful property after the grant being signed by me; and that all persons holding grants of land shall make their claim to me before the Ist of January, 1824, or they will be forfeited after that date; and all grants of land sold by M'Gregor after the Ist day of January, 18 4 23, are de• eared titan and void. " Given under my hand, at Cape Gracias a Dios, this 28th day of March, in the year of our Loma, 1823. (Signed) " GEORGE FREDERIC, King of the Mosquito Nation." REPORT. " Belize River's Mouth, Bay of Honduras, May 13,1823. " SIR—We, the undersigned, having had the honour to receive your commands, to carry into effect the wishes of his Majesty's Government, in conveying presents to the King of the Mosquito Nation, and also having been honoured with your instructions relative to certain information you had received fit:nu five persons of a party of six, who had recently arrived in this settlement, from the establishment of Sir Gre gor M'Gregor, on the lands adjacent (and one of whom had died of famine and fatigue on the pas sage), in order.to enable you to afford his Majesty's Ministers the fullest information of the nature of this settlement, its situation, strength, and probable result. " We proceeded from Belize on the 15th of April, in the schooner Mexican Eagle, and not being exactly aware, from our information, where the seat of the Poyais Government was situated, we deemed it most _ prudent to proceed to Black River, on the Mosquito shore, that being the most direct mode of communi cation with the Poyais Indians, and amongst whom, we of course concluded to find the heads' of Sir Gre gor's Government, and that being also a ready way of communicating with the Mosquito King, in pre ference to occupying much time in beating up to Cape Gracias a Dios, and where we arrived on the V.6th of , the same month ; but judge, Sir, of our sur lulu when, on ascending that river a short distance, we found a camp and huts commenced erecting, and cannon ball and other stores landed, not on Poyais Indian grounds, but on the spot formerly occupied by the British Settlers of the Mosquito shore; nay, on the very former seat of Government, arid which was, in 1787, in obedience to the orders of his Ma jesty, evacuated with great loss and expense to the unfortunate inhabitants of that place, in conformity to the convention treaty of 1786 with Spain, and we cannot possibly conceive his Majesty's Government can be aware of this circumstance. " Scarce had we effected a landing, when we were surrounded by objects the most distressing; a num ger of unfortunates crowded around us, pale, wan, avid deplorable, scarce able to stand, sinking under their own weight with disease; mothers tottering under fatigue and want, with their almost crying in fants in their arms: most of those that were capable of Movement flocked about us, greeting us with ex tatic pleasure, and imploring, for the sake of the FA . TILER of us all, to have mercy and charity upon them, and take them from the certaindeath that awaited* " Seeing such accnmulated distress around us, we were induced te inquire into the origin of so much human misery.; we were informed by almost every • tongue that they had left their native country with , the highest and most flowery views before them, and .had been deceived beyond belief: that they had been led to aspect to find a well established settlement, Ind a very considerable population, with every com fort around it, and means ready to afford them com .parative ease and success in cultivating the soil ; that they almost all of them came out under engagements -to the Government of which Sir Gregor M'Gregor was - the bead, under the style and title of his highness the Cazique of Poyais, and who positively contracted with them that their wages should be paid monthly ; but how great had been their disap pointment ! they had been landed in a wilderness, where they found three miserable huts, inhabited by three or four Americans, with scarce a sign of culti- • vasion around them ! that instead of the fine settle- " This, Sir, is but a slight sketch - of their declara- 1 tions and complaints, and we soon found that they had too much foundation in truth. . " Having been thus made acquainted that such Proclamations existed, we took measures to obtain copies for your information, and were fortunate enough to succeed, not only in obtaining copies, but one original. This naturally induced us to inquire, how far the Mosquito Indians themselves were affected towards this Establishment, and we soon found that they were strongly averse to it ; that they could not be brought to believe that the settlers were British sub jects ; and were most explicit in their declaration, that they would afford them no assistance, as neither through their King, nor by hearsay , had they learnt that his Britannic Majesty had sent them there, or that they were established under his sanction. " We found that they viewed with extreme jea lousy and concern the cannon and ball that lay scat tered about the settlement, as also the ammunition buried ; and of which we were informed by one of their Chiefs, who was expressly stationed to, watch the motions of the settlers with the most vigi lant eye (and perfectly unknown to them). " On our arrival at Black River, we did not find Lieutenant Governor Hall, who, we understood, had, immediately after the promulgation of the Mosquito King's Proclamations, proceeded to Cape Gracias a Dios, to expostulate with him on the security of his measures. " On the morning of the 29th of April, a memo rial was presented by Mr. Smith, one of the surgeons of 'the establishment, in the name of a large maw. rity of the settiers,-setting forth their deplorable state, and praying for relief. " The receipt of this Petition declaratory of so much wretchedness, excited in us the greatest sym pathy ; and the more so, not knowing how far we could be justified in granting the prayer thereof, and therefore determined to wait the return of Governor Hall before any reply was given ; and having in the meantime understood from the Mosquito Chieftain in the neighbourhood of this Establishment, that from his knowledge of the sentiments of the King, that he would not visit Black River, but stop at a river at some short distance from thence, called Plantain River; and being anxious to have an interview with him on the subject of the presents and other objects connected.with the welfare of his country, we pro ceeded there on the 2d of May. It was in this se questered spot that we had further opportunity of discovering the unfavourable sentiments of a number of the Mosquito Chiefs, relative to the new Establish ment. Having remained there until the morning of the sth, and received no information whatever of the King, we decided on returning to Black River, and where we arrived on the evening of that day. " On the afternoon of the following day the Mos quito King, accompanied by Governor Hall, arrived at Black River; and in our first interview with him, lie acquainted us he had stopped at Plantain River, and having there learnt we had returned, and being very desirous to see us, he had proceeded on to the new establishment, and appeared highly gratified at our arrival, observing, that it enabled him fully to convey his sentiments to his Majesty's superintend ant at Honduras on the subject. His Mosquito Ma jesty then expressed to us his very marked disapproba tion of the Establishment; and also informed us of the decided measures he, had adopted, and that he was determined, under no consideration, to allow the se parate Government of Sir Gregor M'Gregor there, i dependent of himself; not that he felt the smallest disposition to injure the unfortunate people, who, he saw, had been deluded there, but that it was his firm determination that whoever resided. in his territories should be subject to his ordinances ; neither would he ever have contemplated the Establishment of a separate Government in his country without the sanc tion and guidance of the King of England. " That he had been greatly deceived by Sir Gregor *Greg& in the nature of the transfer oc grant as now promulgated to-the world, and used by him; and, moreover, he now understood that this indivi dual had claimed a much larger extent of territory than ever was intended by him should be occupied by new settlers ; and .that it never was his intention either to sell to Sir Gregor M , Gregor, or permit him to sell land in his territory ; but his understanding was, that did Sir Gregor bring settlers'out,he would allow lands to be parcelled out to ahem, still subject to him, and assigned certain parts for that purpose ; and expressed considerable concern to hear of his country being publicly advertised for sale in Europe, and his subjects declared to be transferred to Sir Gregor; and from what he has heard and then saw of military preparations, it appeared evident to him if this Establishr icceeded, bienself and Nti r , OFF 11 the Crown an :Middlesex Lleven conslderati ral, pursue' adopt such Zpecial Co 1 N.B.

We also feel it a duty, as much as has been blazoned to the world of the existence of Poyais seas, of Poyais cities and towns, and of Poyais people and lands, to put in your power the means of apprising his Majesty's Government of the fallacy of these assertions. " The Poyais Indians are a small tribe, a mild and very gentle race of people, not inhabiting the lands or coasts, as pointed out and declared, but residing a great distance in the interior of the country, on se veral mountains, at the head of three or four rivers, scattered about in a few huts, with large families in each, and who principally exist by hunting, fishing, and manufacturing a species of cotton cloth ; and from every information we could obtain, their num bers are from three to five bundled, and they are under the immediate protection of the Mosquito King, as being resident in his territory. " We assure you there is no Poyais Sea, or City of Poyais in existence, nor any appearance, in any part of .the country, to warrant such an assertion ; and indeed, to sum up the whole, we cannot better exemplify it than by declaring that the whole scheme of the establishment has been built 6 upon the base less fabric of a vision. " In conclusion, we would take leave to second the prayer of the memorialists, in drawing your at tention to the miserable state of the sufferers on the Mosquito Shore, Whom we left behind, and to assure you that it is our firm belief, if immediate relief is not afforded them, the greater part must perish. " We have the honour to be, Sir, with great respect, " Your most obedient and most humble Servants, (Signed) " MARSH. BENNETT, Senior Magistrate of the Settlement of Honduras. " GEO.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Wonsan Brines, Jaws Thus*" Stimitth Weston, and Alice Gibbs, were yesterday brought before Mr. Alderman &MOLY.— Messrs. Dallimores, carriers, Doctors'-Commons, in consequence of complaints of property lost from their waggons, suspected the honesty of some of their servants. Means were taken to detect the culprits, and on Friday last one of their carmen, named Weston, was observed to be endeavoiliing to open a crate, but suspecting that he was about to be secured, he absconded. The prisoner Thurlow, a youth of 17, was then charged by Mr. Dal limore with being privy to Weston's practices. This lad con fessed participation to a certain extent, and also accused Britton, the yard poster. An officer was employed to search Weston's i lodgings, where various duplicates of property pawned were found, and also the two female prisoners, the wife of Weston, and her sister, who were taken into cust ody. Some of the pro iwhich had been pawned was recognised , and in particu lar a )e snuff-box, which had been taken out of a package sent by the van to Bristol. The prisoners were remanded for anothereumination. J. Berry was charged with being cateealed in the yard of Messrs. Tibbets, ship-builder, at Lhnehouse, with a felonious intent. The watchman stated, that being alarmed by the bark ing of the yard dog in a distant part of the yard, he went there, aad found the dog dragging the prisoner from a shed by the leg. 'On his approach, the sagacious animal loosened his bold, but kept his fore-paws on the prisoner's body, and would not suffer him to rise. The watchman immediately took him to the watch-house. , The prisoner, who made no defence, was mot to expiate the tres • pass, by three months exercise at the tread-mill.
