Abstract

The Royal American Gazette and Weekly Intelligencer of the Island of Saint John was first published in Charlottetown on Sept. 15, 1787. It mainly printed foreign news excerpted from other papers, but proclamations, local news, and advertisements also appeared in it. Local news coverage included reporting on the House of Assembly and on the Loyalist land claims. The Royal American Gazette apparently ceased publication in March of 1788.
