GEORGE a
W bor.:ski alarming accounts have been received that the lit-
fertions Disease (which, with a malignancy equalling if not
exceeding that of the Plague, has occasioned a drtudlul mora-
lity in several parts of Spain, and lit our town and garrison of
Gibraltar) has spread and extended itself to parts of the cast
of the Mediterranean and whereas, drum the season of the
year in which it has continuei its memo.' in those places where
it has already appeared, there is no good ground of confidence
or hope that the camparatiee coldnew and the' tem ae.ature of
this climate can ad; wit any obstacle to its introduction and pro-
gress in our kingdom :
And whereas we feel it to *incumbent upon us to employ
such means as, under the protection and favour of Divine Pro-
vidence, may be best calculated to guard our loving Subjects
against the visitatiou of so dreadful a calamity, we have thought'
fit, by and with the advice of our Privy Council, to issue this
cur royal Proclamation, and we do herein, by a• al with the ad-
vice of our said Council, most strictly an; ~ ill and command all
our loving Subjects, and more especially those residing at any
of the sea-port towns, or in any other places on the coasts of
this Keigdoin, whether they may theinselvet be liable to Qua
ramble or otherwise, as they tender the preservation of their
own Ilves, arid the safety and welfare of all the Inhabitants of
this kingdom, mint scrupulously to olisei've all the Laws of
Quarantine which now are or may hereafter be in tome, and all
orders made by us, with the advice of our Privy Council, or by
our Privy Council, under the authority thereof; and particu-
larly most carefully to avoid any communication with any slip
or camel, or with any person or persons coming therein, born
or through the Mediterranean, or from the West Barbary, on
the Atlantic Ocean, or fray Cadre, or other parts of Spain
v ithout the Streights, lying to the southward of Cape St. Vitt
cent, or from any place to which, by our royal Paus-lamation, by
and with the advice of our Privy Council, or by our ieden in
Cnuncil, the Laws of Quarantine are, or may hereafter, be ex-
tended ; Of with any brat or person therein, miming foam or
having been on board any such ship, until Stleil shi-, vessel, or
boat, with the crews and per.nns nn Mum!, a id the goals,
wares, and merchandises imported therein, shall have pertain-
ed their Quarantine, in such places and manner as are or shall
hereafter be direeted its that behalf, and until they respectively
shall have been duly discharged therefrom.
And whereas it is also neeenary to take the utmost precaution
to prevent the spreading of Infection, in case the said malig-
n cast Dise se, or any other of a contagious nature (which God,
in 141, Marcy, omit !), should unhappily tinniest itself in any
part of oar United Kt-is:him, notwithatanditig the precautions
