Macquarie spreads the word

SECRETARY'S OFFICE,
Sydney, Jan. 11th, 1812.

His Excellency the Governor having, in his late tour through Van Diemen's Land, received addresses from the Inhabitants of the various settlements in that country; namely, of Hobart Town, New Norfolk and Port Dalrymple, breathing pure sentiments of loyalty to their sovereign and attachment to his government, and at the same time expressive of much satisfaction and content with their present situations; and deeming it a satisfactory channel through which to convey to the inhabitants of this country so unequivocal testimony of the comfortable and contented situation in which he found their countrymen and fellow settlers on Van Diemen's Land, has directed that said addresses, with His Excellency's answers, shall be made public through the medium of the Sydney Gazette.

By Command of His Excellency the Governor,
J.T. CAMPBELL, Secretary.
