General Note:
The Berbice gazette, published in New Amsterdam, Berbice, began between 1804 (Berbice gazette, December 7, 1901, page 1) and 1806 (Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, October 1918, page 285), depending on the source consulted, although there is reference to a newspaper located in New Amsterdam by this name in a letter dated May 7, 1805 (Kort historisch verhaal van den eersten aanleg, lotgevallen en voortgang der particuliere colonie Berbice, gelegen in het landschap Guiana in Zuid-America, 1807). Nicolaas Volkerts is often credited with establishing the Berbice gazette, however he was publishing the Essequebo and Demerary gazette in Stabroek, Demerara (now Georgetown, Guyana) until 1806, when he lost his status as the government printer to his former partner, then rival, Edward James Henery, publisher of the Essequebo and Demerary royal gazette. Volkerts remained in Demerara until July 1807, making it unlikely for him to have been the original publisher of the Berbice gazette. By 1813, the newspaper had been sold to William Schulz, who would oversee publication of the newspaper for the next two to three decades. In 1822, the title of the paper was briefly changed to the Berbice gazette and New Amsterdam advertiser, before becoming the Berbice royal gazette and New Amsterdam advertiser, a few months later. Around 1837, the name of the paper was shortened to the Berbice advertiser, which only lasted until May 1840 (Journal of the Statistical Society of London, July 1841, page 125). The discontinuation of the Berbice advertiser may have been a result of a libel suit against the then publisher John Emery (Legal observer, or, Journal of jurisprudence, November 9, 1844, page 19). Whatever the reason behind the cessation of the Berbice advertiser, it was soon after replaced by another iteration of the Berbice gazette, started by George A. M'Kidd around 1841. Sometime between 1846 and 1858, the name of the newspaper changed to become the Berbice gazette and British Guiana advertiser (The Creole, March 6, 1858, page 1). Publication was suspended for a few months that year but returned in December 1858 as a weekly newspaper with a new publisher, John Thompson (The Creole, December 11, 1858, page 2). Thompson returned the name of the newspaper to the Berbice gazette in 1877 and continued to publish it until his death in 1879. Charles Edwin Hooten purchased the newspaper and ran it for the next 8 years, until falling into the hands of its final publisher, William MacDonald. The Berbice gazette published its final issue on March 29, 1902.

Marquis of Wellington: and lam happy it is in my po power

Head.quarters, Castalia, April 14, 1813-
Lord I have the satisfaction to inform your Lord Lords
s Lords up, that the allied army under my command defeated the
enemy on the 13th inst. commanded by Marshal Suchctia
person.
It appears that the French General had, for the pur purpose
pose purpose of attacking this army, for some time been employed
in collecting his whole disposable force. His arrangements
vfrere completed on the 10th, and in the morning of the
11 he attacked aud dislodged, with some loss, a Spanish



corps, posted by Gen. Elio, at Yecla, which threatened
'> his right, whilst it supported our left Hank. In the even,
jng he advanced in considerable force to Villena, and I am
I' sorry to say, that he captured, on the morning of the 12th
a Spanish garrison, which had been thrown into the Cas Castle
tle Castle by the Spanish General, for its defence.
On the 12th, about noon, Marshal Suchet began bis
attack on the advance of this army posted at Biur, under
the command of Col. Adam.
Col. Adam’s orders were to fall back upon Castalia, but
to dispute the passage with the enemy ; which he did with
the utmost gallantry and skill, for live hours, though at attacked
tacked attacked by a force infinitely superior to that which he coin,
manded. The enemy’s advance occupied the pass that
evening, and Col. Adam took up the ground in our po position
sition position which had been allotted to him.
On the 13th at noon, the enemy’s columns of attack
were formed, composed of three divisions of infantry, a
corps of cavalry of about 1600 men, and a formidable
train of artillery. The position of Uiv allied army was
extensive. The left was posted on astrong range oi hills,
Occupied by Major-General Whittingham’s division ol
Spanish troops, and the advance of the allied army uuder
Col. Adam ~ ... ,
This range of hills terminates at Caltalla, which, and
the ground to the right, was occupied b, Major-General
Mackenzie’s division, and the 58th regiment, from that
of Lieutenant General Clinton. The remainder of the
position was covered by a strong rajine, behind which
Lieutenant-General Clinton was stationed, supported by
three battalions of Gen. Roche’s division, as a column of
reserve. A few batteries had been constructed in this
part of the line, and in front of the Cast e of Castalia
The enemy necessarily advanced on the left oi the positi position.
on. position. The I rst movement he made was to pass a strong
body of cavalry along the line, threatening our right,
which was refused. Os this movement no notice was
taken; the ground to which he was pointing, is unfavour unfavourable
able unfavourable to cavalry, and as this movement was foreseen, the
necessary precautions had been taken: when this body oi
cavalry had passed nearly the half of our line of infantry,
Marshal Sochet advanced his columns to the foot of the
hills, and certainly his troops, with a degree of gallantry
that entitles them to the highest praise, stormed the whole
line, which is not less than two miles and a halt in extent.
But gallantly as the attack was made, the defence of the
heights was no less brilliant ; at every point the enemy
was repulsed, at many w ith the bayonet.
Hi-sutu red a very severe loss ; our gallant troops pur pursued
sued pursued him for Mime distance, and drove him, after aseveie
struggle, with precipitation on his battalions of reserve
upon the plam. The r ivalry, which had siowlj advanced
along our rif:ht, gradw;i)l> fell back to the infantry. At
present hi-sttpcriori'y in that arm enabled him io venture
this movement, wlnch otherwise lie would have severely
repented. Having united his shattered battalions with
those which he ke ; ; u reserve, Marshal Suchet took, up
g position in the vailery : but which it would not have
been creditable to allow him to retain 1 th rcloic decided
on quilting mine ; still, however, retaining the heights,
a -d forimd the allied army in his front, covering my right
flank with the cavalry, wlid-t the left rested on the hill.
Thearmy aibanced in two lines to attack h.ul a consider considerable
able considerable distance, but unfortunately Marshal Suchet did not
choose to ri-k a second action, with tiieueidt in his Hat.
The lineofthe alii's was scaicely formed wi’.en he h- ~an
his retreat and we con'd effect nothing muie than driving
the French into the.pass with defeat, which they had tx txultingly
ultingly txultingly passed in the motning. The action tcnuuateii at
dusk, with a distant hot heavy cannonade, lam sotty
to say that 1 have no trophies to boast oi. '1 It enemy
took no guns to the heights, and lie retired too expediti expeditiously
ously expeditiously to enable me to reach h in. Those winch lie usca
in the latter part of the day. w ere posted in the gorge oi
tile defile, audit would have cost us the lives of manj brave
men to take them. In the dusk, the allied army rcturiivo
to its position at Castalia, after theyuemy bad retired u,
Biar. From thence he continued his retreat at midnight
to Villena, which he quitted again this morning in great
haste, directing his march upon Fuente de la H.gueia and
Ontiniente.
But although I have taken no cannon from the enemy,
in point of numbers his army is very considerably crippled,
and the defeat of a French army which had boasted it had
never known a check, cannot fail, I should hope, in pro producing
ducing producing a most favourable effect in this part of the Penin,
fnla. As I before mentioned to your Lordship, Marshal
Suchet commanded in person. The Generals Harispe,
Hubert, and Robert, commanded their respective divisions.
I hear from all quarters that General Narispe is killed ;
and I believe, from every account that 1 can collect, the
loss of the enemy amounts fully to three thousand men;
and he admits two thousand five hundred. Upwards of
800 have already been buried in front of only one part of
our line; and we know that he has carried off with him,
an immense number of wounded. VV e had no opportunity
of making prisoners, except such as were wounded; the
* lumbers of which have not yet reached me. lam sure
your Lordship will hear with much satisfaction, that this
action has not cost us the lives of many of our comrades.
Deeply must be felt the loss, however trilling, of such
brave and gallant soldiers J but we know it is inevitable,
and I can with truth affirm, that there was not an officer
or soldier engaged who did not court the glorious termi termination
nation termination of an honourable life, in the discharge of his duty
*o his King and Country.

Biar, two nf the mountain guns fell into the hands of the
enemy; they were disabled, and Col. Adam very judiej-

ii My Dear Hretheren, — At the moment w hen the Em Emperor
peror Emperor on his Throne received the last Address of the Legis Legislative
lative Legislative Body, his Majesty spoke to his people these remar remarkable
kable remarkable words—l am shortly going to put myself at the head
of my troops, and to confound the fallacious promises our
enemies have made themselves.
“The campaign is scarcely opened, and we already see
the oracle fulfilled.
“The first days of hostilities have discharged this impo imposing
sing imposing engagement of a great genius, supported by the often
proved protection of Heaven, and animated by the noble
feelings of his strength; our august Monarch then laid be
fore the nation his hopes, supported by the guaiantee of
20 years of triumph, the eclat of which effaces all the re reputations
putations reputations of history.
“Our enemies, emboldened by the defection of the most
versatile of our Allies, who already expiates for the blind blindness
ness blindness of his folly, entertained no doubt of the full success
of their new coalition against France. Thus whilst their
frozen climate suspended the course of our victories, the
Russians forgetting all their defeats last year, which they
celebrated by so many public thanksgivings, considered
the fugitive protection of the elements as a periodical and
lasting triumph. They believed, when they put them themselves
selves themselves in the pay of England, that the Emperor would
never return to reorganize his army, it was in this fool foolish
ish foolish belief of our military degradation, that they madedur madeduring
ing madeduring the winter a campaign of ideal Invasions and conquest.
“They flattered themselves to drive us out of Germany,
and even to curry the seat of war into our ancient territo territories,
ries, territories, should we refuse to submit to such laws as their ar arrogance
rogance arrogance should please to dictate to us from the banks of
the Rhine, nor did they awaken from thisdnam of glory,
till tiiv moment of their dis-encbaniment on the plains ol
Lutzen.
“The severity of an early w inter alone triumphed over
our army, aiway s victorious, iti those distant and horrible
climates, lint proud of a calamity, whereof they, like
us, had part taken the rigouis, tire Russians considered
our projects as mere dreams, our preparations as fabulous
stories, .mil our resources as chimeras.
“Four months of prodigie- on die one sid", anti illusi illusions

them, by shewing herself to astonished G< rmanj more

expedient; and no sooner was our unitary preparations
established, than, at the return of spring, the armed coa coalition

was prepared for it by our brave warriors. God, who

in our favour to the eyes of the wise, who can judge of

-teal event , ail mu gtonous pages winch they promise
tor history. Every day will develope the result to us.
We shad drive these tartars back to their frightful cli climates,
mates, climates, which can no lougei save them.
“hi fact, the campaign which commences under such
brillant auspices, apparently ought to manifest to us the
designs of 1 luvidenec m ttie magnificent destiny of the
Emperor in their full extent.—Powers who are enemies
to France, ye had numbered our legions—ye had calculat calculated
ed calculated of how many arms they are composed—but ye had for forgottetjat
gottetjat forgottetjat the same time to appreciate the extraordinary
genius of their Chief, whose sublime combinations knows
how to balance their actions, to concert the whole, to
supply their means, ami double their force.—l ou suppose
our soldiers to be without experience, and you dare to
despise their youthlul courage, which had not yet seen the
dreadful fire of battles. But ye did not dream that the
renown of the great man who commands them would ren render
der render them heroes when before you. You still believe him
to be far from his army, whilst his history, as well as your
dreams, should have taught you, that in his marches his
post is al w ays at the head of his victorious phalanxes. You
could, at least, not hesitate in recognizing the presence of
the first of Captains, both for the manwuvres and enthu enthusiasm
siasm enthusiasm of his troops, and by the ravages of the thunder
which has destroyed the choicest of your a. my.—Did you
not know on the faith of your preceding defeats, that to
odlige him to defend himself was to call him to victory ?
Ah, such a Sovereign is never a simple spectator of the
battles he has resolved on giving; always enlightened by
his inspiration, by his experience, by that habit of great
and sudden designs which raise him in every way above
other men; he has discovered to you his whole ascendency
with that promptitude and certainty of judgment, which
knows at first sight to form apian of battle, for which
the most profound meditation of the most illustrious Ge-

nerals will always have to 'him. You have hastened by
three days the moment of a triumph which he had secretly
prepared in his mind; but by eluding his combinations,
you have made no alterations in his disposition, excepting
solely of the manner to conquer; you came on then to
provoke and accelerate the coinbat.
“The half of his army, still at a distance from his camp,
had nothing to regret, but its having beiin for a few hours
deprived of partaking of his laurels.
“The inferiority of our cavalry, which the Emperor
wished to spare, and fpr which he gave as a supplement
his thundering artillery, shewed at once his intentions, by
one of those sudden illuminations of which Boy sart speaks,
“it is an Egyptian battle,” said he to his troops, “a good
infantry supported by artillery, ought to be sufficient of
itselfhistory will perceive this memorable result of a
combination suggested by military genius, and which alone
could insure the victory.
“One stands transport with admiration before the extra extraordinary
ordinary extraordinary man who has raised our empire to such a prodi prodigious
gious prodigious degree of power and glory. His fate and his offici officious
ous officious enemies incessantly place him in the most proper si situations,
tuations, situations, to discover to us the whole extent of his genius.
He is the soul of his Generals, as well as of his Army.
One cannot conceive how a mortal can possibly surmount
so many difficulties, be sufficient for the performance of
so many duties, unite so much activity to so much fore foresight,
sight, foresight, such wisdom to such impetuosity, such vast extent
of conception to so much vigilance in the details, and that
every part of his immense administration is always watch watched
ed watched by the perspicuity of his view, as if he had no other
solicitude on the throne.
“It is religion only, which, by joining all the interests,
of the Sovereign with the subject, of the rich with the
poor, which insures the true pomp of national annals,
gives an expression to the common joy, both august and
â– 'acred, and which the universal enthusiasm renders still
more touching and magnificent; without her nothing is
so cmn, nothing is truly popular, nought unites the mul multitude
titude multitude into one single family.
“The w orld has its amusements, but Christianity alone
has real leasts. Men are never in a perfect communion of
sentiments and interests, but in the temple. It is in pros prostrating
trating prostrating thcmselvcw before (rod that princes teach theft*jieo theft*jieopie

army, by celebrating it with equal celebrity and majesty'
in our sanctuaries. God being here in the midst of us,
is actually felt to be near us, according to the expression
of the Apostle St. Paul, likewiseappears to declare for us.
“J he image of the Sovereign is there braced in every heart

name with the unanimous sentiments of gratitude; but his
fame has so accustomed us to prodigies, that there can ne never

our love, could he at this moment be a w itness of all thw
sentiments he inspires.
“But what regrets have we to express, will not our
Monarch, iu thought, be present at this sacred solemnity
to enjoy the universal benedictions which are coming to
environ his dear company, at the moment when a grand
and affecting religious solemnity, comes to olfer him, for
the first time during his government, and in the most mag magnificent

“Ah! what a touching sight to view in our sanctuary

sulfrages towards her, giiarawh-es to her that approbation
most precious to her heart. All these brilliant qualities
are still more embellished under the diadem, by a piety

those milder virtues, which are so much the more proper
for causing her religious principles to be esteemed, because
they invite ws tp imitate theai without forcing us to hypo.

On the first part it appeared in favor of (he allies, but Napoleon having in the night of the 20th, brought up a fresh force, which outflanked their oppo. tients, the battle was renewed the following morning, and terminated in the total overthrow of tde allies. London, May 18.—A Dispatch, of which the followmg is a copy, was this morning received by Earl Bath, urst, from Lieut.-Gew. Sir John Murray. MT ITU Castalia, April 14. wly Lord —1 have the honor to inclose to your Lordship a copy of a dispatch addressed this day to Gen. the Marquis of Wellington: and lam happy it is in my power to lay before your Lordship so convincing a proof of tle gallantry and spirit which pervades this army. I hare indeed, hut faintly described the exertions of the officers and soldiers who have been engaged, but I still venture to hope that they will appear sufficiently meritorious to attract the notice and obtain the approbation of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent. I have the honor to be, &c. T . T? 1D v J. MURRAY', Lieut. Geo. The Earl Bathurst, &c. &c. &c. Head.quarters, Castalia, April 14, 1813Lord I have the satisfaction to inform your Lords up, that the allied army under my command defeated the enemy on the 13th inst. commanded by Marshal Suchctia person. It appears that the French General had, for the purpose of attacking this army, for some time been employed in collecting his whole disposable force. His arrangements vfrere completed on the 10th, and in the morning of the 11 he attacked aud dislodged, with some loss, a Spanish

PAGE 3

corps, posted by Gen. Elio, at Yecla, which threatened '> his right, whilst it supported our left Hank. In the even, jng he advanced in considerable force to Villena, and I am I' sorry to say, that he captured, on the morning of the 12th a Spanish garrison, which had been thrown into the Castle by the Spanish General, for its defence. On the 12th, about noon, Marshal Suchet began bis attack on the advance of this army posted at Biur, under the command of Col. Adam. Col. Adam’s orders were to fall back upon Castalia, but to dispute the passage with the enemy ; which he did with the utmost gallantry and skill, for live hours, though attacked by a force infinitely superior to that which he coin, manded. The enemy’s advance occupied the pass that evening, and Col. Adam took up the ground in our position which had been allotted to him. On the 13th at noon, the enemy’s columns of attack were formed, composed of three divisions of infantry, a corps of cavalry of about 1600 men, and a formidable train of artillery. The position of Uiv allied army was extensive. The left was posted on astrong range oi hills, Occupied by Major-General Whittingham’s division ol Spanish troops, and the advance of the allied army uuder Col. Adam ~ ... , This range of hills terminates at Caltalla, which, and the ground to the right, was occupied b, Major-General Mackenzie’s division, and the 58th regiment, from that of Lieutenant General Clinton. The remainder of the position was covered by a strong rajine, behind which Lieutenant-General Clinton was stationed, supported by three battalions of Gen. Roche’s division, as a column of reserve. A few batteries had been constructed in this part of the line, and in front of the Cast e of Castalia The enemy necessarily advanced on the left oi the position. The I rst movement he made was to pass a strong body of cavalry along the line, threatening our right, which was refused. Os this movement no notice was taken; the ground to which he was pointing, is unfavourable to cavalry, and as this movement was foreseen, the necessary precautions had been taken: when this body oi cavalry had passed nearly the half of our line of infantry, Marshal Sochet advanced his columns to the foot of the hills, and certainly his troops, with a degree of gallantry that entitles them to the highest praise, stormed the whole line, which is not less than two miles and a halt in extent. But gallantly as the attack was made, the defence of the heights was no less brilliant ; at every point the enemy was repulsed, at many w ith the bayonet. Hi-sutu red a very severe loss ; our gallant troops pursued him for Mime distance, and drove him, after aseveie struggle, with precipitation on his battalions of reserve upon the plam. The r ivalry, which had siowlj advanced along our rif:ht, gradw;i)l> fell back to the infantry. At present hi-sttpcriori'y in that arm enabled him io venture this movement, wlnch otherwise lie would have severely repented. Having united his shattered battalions with those which he ke ; ; u reserve, Marshal Suchet took, up g position in the vailery : but which it would not have been creditable to allow him to retain 1 th rcloic decided on quilting mine ; still, however, retaining the heights, a -d forimd the allied army in his front, covering my right flank with the cavalry, wlid-t the left rested on the hill. Thearmy aibanced in two lines to attack h.ul a considerable distance, but unfortunately Marshal Suchet did not choose to ri-k a second action, with tiieueidt in his Hat. The lineofthe alii's was scaicely formed wi’.en he h~an his retreat and we con'd effect nothing muie than driving the French into the.pass with defeat, which they had txultingly passed in the motning. The action tcnuuateii at dusk, with a distant hot heavy cannonade, lam sotty to say that 1 have no trophies to boast oi. '1 It enemy took no guns to the heights, and lie retired too expeditiously to enable me to reach h in. Those winch lie usca in the latter part of the day. w ere posted in the gorge oi tile defile, audit would have cost us the lives of manj brave men to take them. In the dusk, the allied army rcturiivo to its position at Castalia, after theyuemy bad retired u, Biar. From thence he continued his retreat at midnight to Villena, which he quitted again this morning in great haste, directing his march upon Fuente de la H.gueia and Ontiniente. But although I have taken no cannon from the enemy, in point of numbers his army is very considerably crippled, and the defeat of a French army which had boasted it had never known a check, cannot fail, I should hope, in producing a most favourable effect in this part of the Penin, fnla. As I before mentioned to your Lordship, Marshal Suchet commanded in person. The Generals Harispe, Hubert, and Robert, commanded their respective divisions. I hear from all quarters that General Narispe is killed ; and I believe, from every account that 1 can collect, the loss of the enemy amounts fully to three thousand men; and he admits two thousand five hundred. Upwards of 800 have already been buried in front of only one part of our line; and we know that he has carried off with him, an immense number of wounded. VV e had no opportunity of making prisoners, except such as were wounded; the * lumbers of which have not yet reached me. lam sure your Lordship will hear with much satisfaction, that this action has not cost us the lives of many of our comrades. Deeply must be felt the loss, however trilling, of such brave and gallant soldiers J but we know it is inevitable, and I can with truth affirm, that there was not an officer or soldier engaged who did not court the glorious termination of an honourable life, in the discharge of his duty *o his King and Country. (Signed) J. MURRAY, Lieut.-Gen. P. S. I have omitted to mention, that in retiring from Biar, two nf the mountain guns fell into the hands of the enemy; they were disabled, and Col. Adam very judiej• V * ously directed Captain who then commanded the brigade, to tight them to the "last, and then to leave them to their fate. Capt. Arabin obeyed his ordes, and fought them till it was impossible to get them oil, had such been Colonel Adam’s desire. (Signed) J. M. Cardinal Maury's Order for a solemn Te Deuni at Paris. ii My Dear Hretheren, — At the moment w hen the Emperor on his Throne received the last Address of the Legislative Body, his Majesty spoke to his people these remarkable words—l am shortly going to put myself at the head of my troops, and to confound the fallacious promises our enemies have made themselves. “The campaign is scarcely opened, and we already see the oracle fulfilled. “The first days of hostilities have discharged this imposing engagement of a great genius, supported by the often proved protection of Heaven, and animated by the noble feelings of his strength; our august Monarch then laid be fore the nation his hopes, supported by the guaiantee of 20 years of triumph, the eclat of which effaces all the reputations of history. “Our enemies, emboldened by the defection of the most versatile of our Allies, who already expiates for the blindness of his folly, entertained no doubt of the full success of their new coalition against France. Thus whilst their frozen climate suspended the course of our victories, the Russians forgetting all their defeats last year, which they celebrated by so many public thanksgivings, considered the fugitive protection of the elements as a periodical and lasting triumph. They believed, when they put themselves in the pay of England, that the Emperor would never return to reorganize his army, it was in this foolish belief of our military degradation, that they madeduring the winter a campaign of ideal Invasions and conquest. “They flattered themselves to drive us out of Germany, and even to curry the seat of war into our ancient territories, should we refuse to submit to such laws as their arrogance should please to dictate to us from the banks of the Rhine, nor did they awaken from thisdnam of glory, till tiiv moment of their dis-encbaniment on the plains ol Lutzen. “The severity of an early w inter alone triumphed over our army, aiway s victorious, iti those distant and horrible climates, lint proud of a calamity, whereof they, like us, had part taken the rigouis, tire Russians considered our projects as mere dreams, our preparations as fabulous stories, .mil our resources as chimeras. “Four months of prodigieon die one sid", anti illusions on the other, have sufiicied to enable b lance io meet them, by shewing herself to astonished G< rmanj more | owrrlm than ever. The winter’s rest has repaired every ttHiig. A noble emulatio.i of devotion -mi voluntary sacriiievs has relieved the finances, the great r< source ol war, front all ns deliciencivs, by renewing our a.tny, without (icing uexes. ary to tcpiurc any increase of imposts on tin n.itiou, without reducing us io i ukc use ol any ruinous expedient; and no sooner was our unitary preparations established, than, at the return of spring, the armed coalition presented itself, to receive that chastisement which was prepared for it by our brave warriors. God, who injoj s the presumption and temerity of mortals : God, arcuiding to the expression ol the Prophet, blew on this mass ol umijitiuiis chimeras, and its smoke immeuiatei> van. lied, .•see them now, humiliated and already vanquish.
