By His Excellency Brigadier General James Montgomerie, Governor in and over the Colonies of Essequebo & Demerary, President in all Courts and Colleges within the same, &c. &c. &c.
Whereas His Majesty has been pleased to take into his Gracious Consideration the great and serious inconveniences which have resulted to the Planters of the Colonies of Essequebo & Demerary, from the sudden stoppage to the importation Salt Provisions by Neutral Vessels; It is hereby ordered and decreed, that by Virtue of Authority, received through the Right Honble. Lord Castlereagh, Salt Provisions imported into the Colonies in Neutral Vessels will be permitted to be landed and sold on satisfactory proof being made that the supply of Salt Provisions from the Ports of England, Scotland, Ireland or British America is insufficient for Internal consumption.
It is however to be well understood that His Majesty's Gracious indulgence will not be extended beyond the Tenth of January 1808, when sufficient time will have been allowed to ensure a regular supply from ports belonging to the British Empire.
And whereas the Internal Commerce of these Colonies is entirely carried on by Water-Carriages which tenders the use of Punts, Boats and other small Craft absolutely necessary, His Majesty has been graciously pleased to permit the Importation of Pitch and Tar in Neutral Vessels on Proof being made that there exists such a scarcity of Pitch and Tar as is injurious to the Commerce of the Colonies.
Given under my Hand and Seal at the King's House in Stabroek, this 25th day of July 1807, and in the Forty Seventh Year of His Majesty's Reign.

The following Letter was written a few days since, to Mr. Ts. Lawrence of Mahaica by Mr. D. P. Simon, at whose request we insert it: -
Demerary, 19th July 1807.
Mr. T. Lawrence,
Sir! I think it my duty to let you know that your base manner in which you have attempted to deceive me, I am perfectly sensible of, you told me yesterday you had made an arangement [sic] with Miss Harriet entirely to her satisfaction, that you would pay Catharine Crovallo in Barbados what you justly owe to her, and that you had provided for the others of Sally Lawrence her Children, but how surprised was I to be convince that the greatest part, if not the whole, is falsehood and untruth of which I have Indisputable proof and more than that which will do you little honour. I have only now to remind you, that although I have resigned from the Executorship of Sally Lawrence's Will, I am still Guardian for her Children, you have acted as Executor and I have a right to call on you to an account agreeable to that Will. I give you also Notice that from the moment I was informed how you had imposed upon me, by telling me how nicely you had provided for Sally's Children, I have taken the necessary steps, and them at you expence, to prevent your quitting this Colony before you give me a satisfactory account and Security for that Estate, be assured Sir, that never I will believe any more of you fair promises, and I'll take pains to make your Character both here and in England known to them that do not know it already, I once more advise you always to think upon the Will, which if that can be proved to be forgery, then not me, but the Orphan Chamber comes in for Guardian and Executors, and he who made or forged that Will ought certainly be hanged.
I am Sir Your,
(Signed) D. P. Simon, Guardian to Sally Lawrence's Children.
P. S. Mr. Van Berckel is my Lawyer who will converse with you on the Business.
