ABSTRACT

The Duke of Albemarle, with his duchess, arrived at Jamaica: liis grace succeeded Colonel Molesworth in the government of the island. The Mosquito Indians put themselves under the protection of the Crown of England, and their chief, King Jeremy, received a commission from the Duke of Albemarle. Since this time, when a vacancy happens in their sovereignty, the next of kin repairs to Jamaica, to prove his consanguinity, and receive his commission from the governor, as his subjects will not acknowledge him without.
