PROCLAMATION.

By his Excellency General George Don, Governor
and Commander-in-Chief of the Garrison and

Territory of Gibraltar, &c.

By a Proclamation which has been issued by his
Excellency Lient.-General O'Donnell, command-
ing in !he neighbouring districts, it appears that
the yellow fever, or epidemia, undoubtedly pre-
vails to an alarming degree in the Isla de Leon ;
but that a cordnn of troops had been established
there, in the hope of preventing its further ex-
tension.

His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, de-
sirous of ensuring the safety of the public health
of ►his Garrison, and at the same time anxious to
avoid those measures of extreme restriction,which,
by interfering with the channels of industry, or
creating impediments to the free access of sup-
plies, occasion poverty, detective nourishment,
and eventually disease, or a pre-disposition there-
to, directs that the following regulations for the
maintenance of the Midcourse with► Spain be ob-
served :

I. All communications with the Isla de Leon,
by sea or land, is hereby prohibited ; and all per-
sons coining from thence, or from any parts
within the said Cordon or Cordons, or front any
town or village infected with the Epidemia, and
who shall introduce themselves clandestinely into
this t rritory, shall be subject to the utmost ri;
gour of the law.
2. No person Corning from the territory of
Spain shall be permitted to enter the garrison by
land, except such as reside in this neighbourhood,
arid who are personally known to the Police.
3. Persons comiti.: by sea shall be rrceived af-
ter a performance of the quarantine established,
as to the respective places from whence they may
arrive, except they come from the Isla, or places
actually infected. Vessels tram thence will not
be admitted without passing through the foul La-
zlretto.

4. A register of such residents as his Excel-
lency the lieutenant Governor deetns may with
safety be permitted to pass out, and return into
this garrison by land, will be kept by the Inspec-
tor of Strangers at the Cordon, and none not
mentioned therein shall be suffered to pass. The
Inspectors of Strangers are instructed not to allow
any one, unless duly authorized, to examine this
register and the Officer of the Guard stationer!
'war the Inspector's post is directed to give him
such support as he may require in the execution of
his duty.

Persons whose names may not be so registered,
but who may have-urgent business in Spain, must
address an application, stating the rronndi of
their desire to pass the Cordon, to the Town Ma-
jor, which, on being forwarded by hint to the
Lieutenant-Governor, will be duly considered.
A Cordon of troops is established across the
Isthmus of the territory, and an additional In-
spector of Strangers stationed at the entrance of
the villa,e. ll persons are hereby warned not to
attempt tri ,pass the Cordon at any other point
than where he Inspector is stationed, as the sen-
tries ire directed to fire upon any one persisting
in ...melt attempt after notice.

COURTS-MARTIAL.
Horse. Guards, Sept. 6, 18190.
At a General Court-Martial held at Corfu, on
the 31st May, 1819, and continued by adj.,uns-
merits to the 2d June following, Major Thomas
Buck, of the Bth (or King',) Regiment of Foot,
was arraigned upon the undermentioned Charge,

vl2.
" For Conduct most untuilitary and subversive of all Dis-
cipline and good Order, in the following instanees,•viz.
st. " For making use of insulting language to the Offi-
errs of the Bth (or King's) Regiment of Fore!, at large, at
the Mess at Malta, in or about the month s f May last, as
follows— •
" That be would be damned if ever he sat 4 the Mess
Table again, or words to a similar insulting effect ; and then
withdrawing himself from the Mess.
2d. " For refusing; subsequently to' using • such expres-
sions, and so conducting biraseff, to retract what he had
said, when requested so to do by Lieutenant-Colonel Ro-
berton.
3d. " For delivering a message to Lieutenant-Colonel Ro-
berton, to be carried to the Officers of the Bth (or King's)
Regiment of Foot, to the following purport, amountinv.a a
Challenge—' that if any persons thought themselves ag-
grieved at what he, Major Buck, had said, he would grant
them satisfaction,' and which message Lieutenant-Colonel
Roberton did immediately, ur shortly afterwards, deliver to
the said Officers."
Upon which charge the Court came to the fol-
lowing decision :
" The Court haying- investigated the Charge preferred
against the prisoner Major Thomas Buck, of the Bth (or
King's) Regiment, and having under its consideration the
whole of the evidence offered on this trial, as well in sup-
port of the prosecution, as on the behalf of the prisoner,
declares its opinion that, in respect to the first instance, the
prisoner is Guilty of the Charge as specified in the said first
instance.
" In respect of the second instance, the prisoner is Guilty
of the Charge, as specified in the said second instance.
" In respect to the third instance, the prisoner is Not.
Guilty of the Charge, as specified in the said third instance :
inasmuch as the evidence does not sufficiently prove that
Lieutenant-Colonel Roberton was actually authorized by Ma-
jor Buck to carry the challenge, which he did carry, to the
Officers of the Regiment, although it is clear that Major Buck
made use of the language as stated in the third instance of the
Charge.
" The Court in consequence of the above opinion and find-
ing, does sentence the prisoner Major Thomas Buck, of the
Bth (or King's) Regiment of Foot,. to be placed at theloot of
the List of the Majors of his Majesty's Army, and further to
he publicly and severely reprimanded, at such time and place
as may he directed.
" The Court having delivered its opinion and sentence,
deem A its ditty to animadvert upon a part of the evidence of
Brevet Major Campbell given on the defence, as regarding
, the 'Third instance of the Charge.
" And the Court cannot refrain from remarking, as well
on the spirit which evidently appears to • have actuated the
witness, as on the answers themselves which are most extra-
ordinary, inasmuch as it must have been evident to the wit-
ness, that the message which he himself sent, could not, by
any possibility, have been in consequence of the comuninica-
tion made by Lieut.-Colonel Roberton; as that communica-
tion was,within the witness's awn knowledge, made on the day
subsequent to that on which be seat the message which be
relates in his evidence."
His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has
been pleased, in the name and on the behalf of
his Majesty, to approve and confirm the finding
and sentence of the Court ; and as Major Buck
has.been promoted according to his standing in
the General Brevet lately published, and previous
to this sentence being made known, the same
will be cancelled in order to the fulfilment
thereof.
His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief
directs, that the foregoing Charge exhibited
against Major Thomas Buck, of the Bth (or
king's) Regiment of Foot, together with the
finding and sentence of the Court, and the Prince
Regent's pleasure.thereon, shall be entered in.the
General Order Book, and read at the head of
every Regiment in his Majesty's service.
By command of his Royal Highness the
Commander-in• Chief,
HARRY CALVERT, Adjutant-General.

SUICIDE.—Sunday evening a man of very re-
spectable appearance was observed walking back-
wards anti forwards, in a very melancholy man-
ner, by the side of the Grand Junction Canal,
anti at length he plunged into the water ; a per-
son who witnessed the transaction immediately
hastened to the nearest house, and made an
alarm ; assistance was procured and the body was
draggtd tor, but was tint found until yesterday
morning, when it was taken out of the water and
carried to a neighboutiug public-house for a
Coroner's Inquest.

GLASGOW AND PAISLEY REFORMERS:
[FROM THE GLASGOW COURIER, SEPT. )6.1

We are happy to say, that all is now tranquil
in Glasgow and Paisley ; but it has not yet been
deemed proper to relax any of the precautionary
measures formerly adopted for the preservation of
the public peace.

We understand that there is a probability of
some of the instigators of the late outrages being
discovered. It remains to be seen whether the
laws of'this country are sufficient to render these
incendiaries an ample punishment.

/a the riots of Monday night, about thirty dif-
ferent houses in the Barony of Gorbals had panes
of glass broken, besides other damage done to
them ; among o4hers, that of the Rev. Dr.
iN/P Lean, Minister of the Parish ; Mr. M4Alpine,
Sturgeon ; the Methodist Meeting-house, &c.
We learn that the gold watch which was taken
from the person of Mi. Burns, of Gateside, on
Saturday, the 4th instant, and which was sup-
posed to have been so taken by a party of the
Radicals on their return from the Meetings at
Meikleriggs Muir, has been recovered, but the
chain and seals are still wanting. The manner
it was recovered was as follows :—A man, not of
had appearance, called at a watchmaker's shop
in this city, showed the watch, and inquired what
might be its value. The watchmaker having
heard of the robbery, detained it, and the Radical
walked off.

We observe, from the Subscription Paper in
the Coffee-room, that the Convener has subscrib-
ed One Hundred Guineas, an behalf of the Trade's
House, for the relief of the distressed Weavers.
—We hope the different Corporations of this City
will come liberally forward for so laudable a
purpose.

_
Last night, about )2 o'clock, James Neilson,
an old offender, was apprehended in the Gallow-
gate, by Fraser and Cameron, Police criminal of-
fice:3, and lodged in tike Police office. In Isis bat
was found a valuable black lace square.
Early this morning, the said officers apprehend-
ed John Elliott, Daniel Boyle, and Alexander Ran-
kin, all old offenders. Elliott is charged with
knocking down a Police officer, and rescuing a
prisoner. The other two were under sentence
of banishment. Rankin has been nine times in
Bridewell.
