The Virginia Gazette

A Proclamation, dated the 11th of June, is received from Georgia, published by Sir James Wright, Governor of that Province, in Consequence of the late Cession of Lands by the Creek and Cherokee Indians upon Savannah River, &c. containing his Majesty's Instructions for selling the said Lands, which are parcelling out in Tracts of 100 to 1000 Acres, and are to be exempted from Payment of Quit Rent for ten Years, and a Fort is to be immediately built and garrisoned for the Security and Protection of the Settlers against disorderly Hunters, Vagrants and straggling Indians. 100 Acres are to be granted to the Master or Head of a Family, and 50 Acres for the Wife and each Child, and also 50 Acres for each Slave. And the Masters, or Heads of Families, will be allowed to purchase 50 Acres for each able bodied white Servant Man whom they shall bring in to settle thereon, provided such Servants be indented for two Years; and also 25 Acres for every Woman Servant, from the Age of fifteen Years to forty Years, indented for two Years.

It is apprehended the above is a Plan which Government will adopt in all the other Colonies.
