[second column]
By His Excellency Henry William Bentinck, Esquire, Governor and Commander in Chief of the Colonies of Demerara and Essequibo, Vice-Admiral of the same, President in all Courts and Colleges, &c. &c. &c.
To all to whom these presents shall come, Greeting!
[end columns]
WHEREAS His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been pleased to signify his commands, in a Dispatch received by me, from the Right Honourable the Earl of Liverpool, as follows:
                  Downing-Street, 21st December, 1811,
Sir,
The attention of His Majesty's Government has been called to the serious inconvenience to which those Proprietors of Estates in the Dutch Colonies are exposed whose properties are under Mortgages to persons residing in countries under the immediate controul of the enemy.
The payment of the annual instalments at the present unfavourable state of the exchange, cannot but be productive of the greatest distress in a British tribunal, the Planters might protect themselves against the rigorous measures of the Dutch Mortgagee, by pleading in bar against them, that the parties suing are alien enemies. The conduct of the enemy towards British subjects, and their property, would justify more severe measures of retaliation than His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is disposed to adopt; but it is the pleasure of His Royal Highness, that the execution of all proceedings against the Estates of Proprietors in the Dutch Colonies, on the part of Mortgagees residing in Holland, and other Countries under the immediate controul of France, or their agents, shall, for the present, be stayed: That no payment of annual instalments shall be insisted on by alien enemies, or agents, and that no sequestration of property shall take place in default of such payment.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble Servant,
(Signed{
LIVERPOOL.
To Governor Bentinck, &c. &c.
Demerary.

Now, in order to facilitate and to carry into complete effect His Royal Highness's commands, as above signified, all persons whose Estates or Plantations are, or may be mortgaged for, or charged with sums of money payable to persons resident in Holland, or other countries under the immediate controul of France; and likewise all otters, here resident, who are or may be Trustees, for such persons, of property in this Colony, of whatsoever kind the same may be, are hereby enjoined to deliver, at the Government Secretary's Office, on or before the first day of March next ensuing, an accurate statement of the nature and amount of such mortgages, charges, of trust-estates.
And, lastly, all persons whom these presents doth, shall, or may concern, are required to observe the orders herein contained, and govern themselves accordingly.
Given under my Hand and Seal-at-Arms, at the King's House, Stabroek, this 11th Day of February, 1812, and in the 52d Year of His Majesty's Reign.
H. W. Bentinck.
By His Excellency's Command,

Since our last, the Zephyr, the Thomas, the Argo, and the Albion, have arrived from London; under convoy of the Spider, gun-brig.

Died - This morning, at the house of William King, Esq. - John Henry P. King, Esq.

[Transcriber's note: European news not transcribed.]

MISCELLANEOUS. [heading]

Letters have been received in London, by the way of Holland, containing advices from Petersburgh, to the 11th of November, by which it seems that the Government there is totally incapable of answering the demand made by Bonaparte for the repayment of the Dutch loan, (about one million sterling in specie), and that this difficulty is likely to occasion an early and serious disagreement between Russia and France.
