of the Commandant:

tertained, are hereby ftriftly enjoined to make instant report,
in writing, of the arrival of all such people, and from whence
they came, at the Town-Major's': And Publick. Warning is
hereby given, That all such as do not, will be deemed enemies
to the British Government, and treated accordingly.
The Inhabitants are hereby further requeued to give the
necetTary Information, when they know that there is any dis
obedience of this Order, that so dangerous a practice may be
immediately discovered.

TXT^REAS the Garrison has, of late, been frequently
alarmed with FIRES, through the carelessness of the inhabi
tants, in not having their chimnies fweeped; it is the express order
of the Commandant, that such persons who neglect this necessary
duty, and a fire ensue, will not only be fubjeCt to a fine of Fjftv
Shillings Sterling, but likewise to the heavy expence of the engines
that may be employed at such fires.—As far as may be to guard
against such accidents, the inhabitants are hereby required to be par
ticularly careful during the present season, and are reminded, in case
of fire during the night, that each house-keeper do set a lighted
candle in a window fronting the street.—Such persons as have not
provided their complement of leather buckets (for no other fort will
be admitted) are expe&ed immediately to provide them, as well as
ladders; a ftri& enquiry will shortly be made, and all delinquents
severely fined.

RUN away, about fix weeks ago, a negro man named
T WILL, by trade a painter and glazier. There is reason to
think he is employed and harboured by some individuals, in and
about Charleftown, where he is better known than trusted: Ido
therefore forwarn all persons whatever, not to employ, harbour, or
conceal the said negro Will in future, as they shall answer the con
ferences at their peril. HARRY MICHIE.
