ADDRESS.
Innumerable as the Obstacles were which
threatened to oppose our Undertaking, yet we are happy to affirm that they were not insurmountable, however difficult the task before us.
The utility of a PAPER in the COLONY, as it must open a source of solid information, will, we hope, be universally felt and ac-
knowledged. We have courted the assistance
of the Iɴɢᴇɴɪᴏᴜꜱ and Iɴᴛᴇʟʟɪɢᴇɴᴛ :‐‐‐
We open no channel to Political Discussion, or Personal Animadversion :‐‐‐ Information is our only Purpose ; that accomplished, we shall consider that we have done our duty, in an exertion to merit the Approbation of the PUBLIC, and to secure a liberal Patronage to
the SYDNEY GAZETTE.
