PROCLAMATION  

By His Excellency John HINDMARSH,  

Knight of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphle  

Order, Governor and Commander-In-Chief  

of  

HIS MAJESTY'S PROVINCE  

of  

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.  

In announcing to the Colonists of His Majesty's Province of South Australia, the establishment of the Government, hereby call  

upon them to conduct themselves on all occasions with order and quietness, duly to respect the laws, and by course of industry and sobriety, by  

the practice of sound morality, and strict observance of the Ordinances of Religion, to prove themselves worthy to be the Founders of great  

and free Colony.  

It is also, at this time especially, my duty to apprize the Colonists of my resolution, to take every lawful means for extending the same  

protection to the NATIVE POPULATION as to the rest of His Majesty's Subjects, and of my firm determination to punish with exemplary  

severity, all acts of violence or injustice which may in any manner be practised or attempted against the Natives, who are to be considered as,  

much under the Safeguard of the law as the Colonists themselves, and equally entitled to the privileges of British Subjects. trust therefore, with  

confidence to the exercise of moderation and forbearance by all Classes, in their intercourse with the Native Inhabitants, and that they will emit  

no opportunity of assisting me to fulfil His Majesty's most gracious and benevolent intentions towards them, by promoting their advancement in  

civilization, and ultimately, under the blessing of Divine Providence, their conversion to the Christian Faith.  

By his Excellency's command  

ROBERT GOUGER,  

Colonial Secretary.  

Glenelg, 28th December, 1836.  

God save the King.
