PROCLAMATION. [heading]

By His Excellency Anthony Beaujon Esquire, Governor in and over the Colonies of Essequebo and Demerary, and the Dependencies thereof, &c. &c. &c.
Whereas since my Proclamation of the 30th of October last, regarding the importation of certain Articles in Neutral Bottoms and the Exportation of Produce in return for the Articles so imported, I received a Letter from the Right Honorable Earl Camden, One of His Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, dated the 5th September 1804, instructing me not to open the Ports of the Settlement over which I preside, for the admission of Articles from the American States, which are not allowed to be imported by Law (Except in cases of real and very great Necessity) taking care also every Proclamation which shall be issued in those cases, to insert Conditions which shall prevent importations being made from the States of America on more favorable terms, as to Duties on Entry, than on similar importations from the British Colonies of North America, where any such Duties are Due and
Payable; - And Whereas from the situation of this Colony, I could not but deem the measure adopted by my said Proclamation, (as it most evidently is) a matter of real and absolute Necessity, and considering farther that having in that Proclamation inserted the Condition of Paying at the Receiver's Office, on behalf of Government, certain Duties to which British vessels are not at all Subject in this Colony, I conceived that in attending to the circumstance of these His Majesty's Possessions, which so imperiously called for the admission granted by my aforesaid Proclamation of the 30th of October last, the instructions as beforementioned from His Majesty's Government would at the same time be virtually complied with by letting the said Proclamation remain in force; and Whereas by another Letter from Earl Camden, dated the 16th January 1805, I have received additional Instructions to those of the 5th of September 1804, already Noticed; - And Whereas I look upon the following Articles, Scantling, Plancks, Staves, Heading, Boards, Clapboards, Shingles, Hoops or Square Timber of any sort; Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Hogs, Poultry, or live Stock of any sort, Salt, Fish, Bread, Biscuit, Flour, Pease, Beans, Potatoes, Wheat, Rice, Oats, Barley, or Grain of any sort, as being of the first necessity, and such as the Colony cannot Exist without, no more than she can be supplied with them from Britain or her other Colonies: I have thought fit to issue this my Proclamation, hereby permitting the above Articles to be imported in the Ports within this Government, from the United States of America in American Bottoms, until this Proclamation shall be recalled; the importation allowed in my former Proclamation of the 30th October last, herein before referred to, being now entirely confined to the above enumerated Articles from the United States of America, and in American Bottoms only, whilst that Proclamation, with the alteration now made in it, stands for the present hereby confirmed; - and I do further herby give Notice, that if any other Articles, except those herein specified from the United States of America in American Bottoms, are attempted to be introduced, and which cannot be legally imported, measures will be taken for the Forfeiture of the Ships or Vessels importing the same, and of the Goods so imported in contravention of the British Navigation laws: - Whereof the Officers of His Majesty's Customs and all concerned are to take Notice.
Given at the King's-House in the Town of Stabroek,
this 17th Day of April 1805.
Anthony Beaujon.
By Command,
P. F. Tinne, D: Secty.
