DOLLARS IN TRINIDAD.

- ,
By his Excellency W. MONROE, Major-General,,
commanding the forces and administering the Govern-
ment in the Island of Trinidad and.its Dependencies,

A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas it bath been represented to me, that a
great scarcity of Current Silver Specie prevails in
this colony, arising from the large exportations of
Dollars made from hence; and that the only effectual
mode of diminishing such exportation, and of retain-
ing in the island a quantity of such specie sufficient
for the accommodation of its inhabitants, will be to
permit the circulation of a certain number of Cut
Dollars, not exceeding in number in the whole 25,000
Dollars.
And whereas it will be expedient, that for the pur-
pose of cutting the said dollars in manner proposed,
a proper person, to be pid by and at the expense of
the said colony, shall be authorised to cut from the
centre of each of the 25,000 dollars a piece of silver
of the value of one shilling ; and that, as an induce-
ment to persons in possession of dollars to allow their
dollars to be cut, such dollars shall, when so cut,
continue to pass and be received at the rate or value
of nine shillings each ; and that the piece to be cut
out of each of the said dollars shall pass current for
one shilling, and shall be delivered to persons tender-
ing their dollars to be cut.
Given under my hand and Seal, at the Govern-
ment House, this 19th day of June, 1811.
By his Excellency's command,
WV M. Win I MORE, Secretary.

EXTRACT FROM THE ANSWER OF MR. BLANCO WHITE,

As the affairs of South America grow every day

have furnished us with a variety of articles of intelli.

have given, relative to Turkey, will be found most
interesting.
