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.

To all to whom these presents may or

What alfho’ the right of Summary Execution has been
Wranted by us to the Vendue Master, for the time
being, of the Colony Berbice, (for the recovery of
Debts contracted at Public Sale), in order that the
fellers of Goods at Public Vendue, may meet with
delay from the Vendue Office at the expiration of
Bnhe credit stipulated by them. Yet that the object
gos th is authority to the Vendue Master granted for
gthe advantage of the Public, has been in many in-
Hstances frustrated; several of our Inhabitants who
Bhave sold goods at Public Sale, having sustained se sett
tt sett rious inconvenience in their payments being procras procrasmated
mated procrasmated by the Vendue Master, beyond the limits
| tion of.the Credit engaged to be allowed by them.

That the enforcement of Payment by the Sellers,
I against the Vendue Master, shall only take place Six
I weeks after the expiration of the credit, stipulated
at theday of Sale t and under which the goods arc
sold, and after payment of the net proceeds of the
goods so sold shall have been legally demanded from
the Vendue Master.
And should after the expiration of the credit un under
der under which goods are ex; osc after the further allowance of six weeks for collec collection,
tion, collection, the Vendue Master still remain in default For Forty
ty Forty eight hours after a legal demand for payment shall
have been made ; the Seller in order to profit of this
present enactment in their favor may proceed to pre present
sent present a Petition to the Honorable Court of Civil Jus Justice,
tice, Justice, or by their non-sessions to His Excellency the
Governor as President of the said Court, in order to
effect a recovery of what is due him or them, by
Summary Execution; and on his Excellency the
Governor, or the Hon. Court granting the Prayer of
the Petition, the Petitioner may proceed to the en enforcement
forcement enforcement of the-fiat, thro’ the Ucurwaarder, after

From the late t nglish Papers.
An order has Iqjely been issued bydhe War Office, per permitting
mitting permitting the Fife Militia now at Chatham, and all the other
regiments of Scotch Militia, to volunteer into the 49th
regiments of the line, now serving in Canada; on conditi condition,

lunteer volunteer shall be discharged at the expiration of six months
after a general peace, and be allotted a certain quantity

On the Ist of June, the Officers and men, quartered at
Radipole Barracks, were gratified in seeing a brother
soldier rewarded. Serjeant William Butler, of the 12th
Light Dragoons.— All the Non Commissioned Officers of
that Regiment were ordered to attend the Mess-room, after
their Officers’ dinner, when Capt. Cole, of the Regiment,
in the presence of the Field Officers and men belonging to
the garrison, presented unto Serjeant Wm. Butler a silver
cup, which the Officers.had voted to him as atoken of
their regard for his good services, as a man and a soldier,
for 48 years in that Regiment. Capt. Cole’s address in
presenting the same, was such as to animate the young
soldier, and to inspire those of more mature age to follow
the example of the old veteran whom he was about to
reward: the same was received with every degree of dig dignity
nity dignity and respect becoming the soldier.. When the old
warrior received the emblem of honour, his feelings may
be better imagined than described. The Band struck up
‘Britons strike home,’ and they marched to the old veter veteran’s
an’s veteran’s room in military order, where the cup was filled with
claret, and the evening spent with the greatest order and
conviviality, at the expeuce of (he Officers of the garrison,
during which the old soldier danced several hornpipes, in
the 74th year of his age.
In her late passage from the Cape of Good Hope, the
Union discovered a shoal and reef hitherto unknown, of
considerable extent, and icmfniently dangerous to vessels
passing from thence to the French islands, as it lies in the
direct tract; the account we have been politely favoured
with, states, that the Union was becalmed for three hours
w ithin three miles of a small rock, the length of which w as
computed to be 12 yards, and the elevation above the wa water
ter water about six feet, from which a reef extends nearly six
miles. The weather had been very favourable, and the
Commander of the Union having a good Chronometer, it
is believed that the position of this reef and shoal bas becn
accurately ascertained; The longitude agreed very near nearly
ly nearly w ith a recent lunar observation. We cannot, of course,
vouch for the accuracy of u verbal communication, but
the latitude is stated to be 35, and a few min. S. and the
longitude 5'2, 30, E. It is thought to be the shoal laid
down in some charts by the Dutch, and named Slot van
Coqal.
An Irish estate has recently been advertised in a Cork
newspaper, with temptations to a purchaser of no ordinary
kind—it consists of two villages, the lotnre prospects of
which are set forth by stating, that one of them is let for
nine hundred years, and the other on a lease fur ever! on
the expiration of which terms, both the said villages will
be capable of great improvement.
AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE,
New York, June 21.—We understand that an express
to General Izard reached here last evening from New
London, bringing intelligence that the British squadron
off that port had been reinforced by a ship of the line,
three frigates, and a brig; and that it was apprehended an
immediate attack would be made upon the town. This
news has been subsequently corroborated by the arrival of
a smack down the Sound.—the Captain of which states,
that he saw the above-described force off New London
yesterday afternoon, aud that they suffered him to pass
unmolested.
The United States’ brig Argus sailed from this port for
France on Saturday, with a fait wind, having on board
our Ambassador, Mr. Crawford, add suite.
By letters received here from Washington, it appears
that the nomination of Gallatin, as Minister to Russia,
has been rejected by the Senate by a majority of six. It
is considered necessary that the office of Secretary tb the
Treasury should be declared vacant before the above ap appointment
pointment appointment could be confirmed.

1813.) TH$ BERBICE GAZETTE. Twelve dollars p. annumJ\ A PROCLAMATION. BY His Excellency the Governor, and the Honorable Court of Policy and Criminal Justice of the Colony Berbice. To all to whom these presents may or shall come; Greeting! be it known ; ?' W H EREaS we have taken under consideration, What alfho’ the right of Summary Execution has been Wranted by us to the Vendue Master, for the time being, of the Colony Berbice, (for the recovery of Debts contracted at Public Sale), in order that the fellers of Goods at Public Vendue, may meet with delay from the Vendue Office at the expiration of Bnhe credit stipulated by them. Yet that the object gos th is authority to the Vendue Master granted for gthe advantage of the Public, has been in many inHstances frustrated; several of our Inhabitants who Bhave sold goods at Public Sale, having sustained sett rious inconvenience in their payments being procrasmated by the Vendue Master, beyond the limits | tion of.the Credit engaged to be allowed by them. We have therefore thought it expedient to make J further disposition on this head, by enacting and | granting, as we do hereby Enact and Grant, from | and after the day of the date of the Publication of | these presents, to the Sellers of Goods, at Public | Sale, within the Colony Berbice, the samb Right of i Summary Execution, for the recovery of the amount | of the proceeds of such Sales at Vendue as has been | heretofore grantor! by us to the Vendue Master, for | the time being, against all Purchasers of Goods at I Public Vendue, with this reserve however : That the enforcement of Payment by the Sellers, I against the Vendue Master, shall only take place Six I weeks after the expiration of the credit, stipulated at theday of Sale t and under which the goods arc sold, and after payment of the net proceeds of the goods so sold shall have been legally demanded from the Vendue Master. And should after the expiration of the credit under which goods are ex; oscc. fyc. Be it known: WHEREAS the Committee, appointed for the General Superintendance of the Public Works of this Town New Amsterdam, have addressed themselves unto us by memorial representing. That an ancient ' Ordinance of this Court, respecting the Strayiug on the Public Roads and Dams of Horses, Mules, Cattle Sheep, Goats, and Ilogs, is so little attended to, that SATURDAY, the 28th of August. the same daily occurs to the great detriment and injury of the Roads of the saidTown; praying that the Court would be pleased to provide therein. We have therefore thought proper, to order and direct, as we do by these presents : That Fourteen days after the day of the date of the Publication hereof, it shall be lawful for any person, to take up all Horses, Mules, Asses, Cattle, and Sheep, which at any time may be found straying on the Public Roads or Dams of the Town of New Amsterdam, and place them in custody of the Town Manager, and that such Horses, Mules, Asses, Cattle, and Sheep, shall be detained by the said Manager, until the owner or owners shall have paid, after the followingrate, for their release, namely: For a Horse, Mule, Ass, Bull,Steer, Ox, Cow, Calf, or Heifer, each f 6.—And for Sheep, each f I.— Which sail! fine shall be Collected by the Manager, and be divided ; namely :—One half to the person who Arrests the Horse, Mule, Ass, Cattle, Sheep, or Arinimals so Straying, and the other half to the Town Manager, who will be further entitled to a charge of a guilder per day, for Food, should such Animal remain in his custody longer than 12 hours; And should the owner or owners of such Horse, Mule, Ass, Bull, Steer, Ox, Cow, Calf, Heifer, or Sheep, entirely omit to release the same from the custody oi the Manager, the same shall be sold at Public Vendue (after having been three times Advertised in the Berbice News-paper), to defray the fine attendant their being taken in custody, Food and Advertisement, and the surplus be paid over to the owner on his application. That if shall further be lawful for any person within the Town of New Amsterdam, Fourteen days after the Publication of these presents, to Kill (but not with fire arms), any Goat or Rog, found on his Premises, or on the Public Roads, or Dams, of the Town New Amsterdam ; And should any Damage be done to any Lots or parts of a Lot withing the said Town by Horses, Mules, Asses, or other description of Cattle, committing the said Damage, and tire owner of such Horse, Mule, Ass, or Cattle, refuse to pay the expence of the Damage so committed, after the same shall hhve been fairly appraised, or to make good such Damage as has been incurred ; It Shall be lawful for the Committic to expose such Horse, Mule, Ass, or other Kind of Cattle, at Public Vendue after the same shall have been three timbs Notified in the Berbice Gazette, and from the proceed of the Sale, defray the expence of the reparation of the Damage committed: And should after the payment of tin* said ex pence any ov< rplus remain, such overplus shall be paid to the Proprietor of the Horse, Mule, Ass, or Cattle, so sold. And in order that no ignorance may be pretended, these presents shall be Published, Printed, and posted up as customary.

Be it known: WHEREAS the Committee appointed for the General Superintendance of the Public Works of this Town of New Amsterdam, have addressed themselves unto us by Memorial, representing the necessity of establishing a fund by Annual Contribution, from each and every Proprietor of Land, within the said Town, in proportion to the quantity of Land possessed by him, her, or them, for the purpose of improving the Public Dams, Roads, Bridges, and DrainNo. 465. [Payable in advance. age, of the said Town, at present in a total state of Neglect and Decay, as also for the future preservation of the Town by maintaining and keeping up the said Dams, Roads, Bridges, and Drainage, in constant order and repair, and further to defray both, the charge of future necessary improvements, as well as the expence of the establishment for the Town Management. And the said Committee having submitted unto us a Plan, on which, according to their opinion, this Contribution could be best carried into effect; and prayingthat the Honourable Court would be pleased to take the aforesaid proposal under consideration, and, if approved of, to Sanction the same, or, to make such ameliorations as the Court should judge most expedient. We therefore, after having attentively examined the plan submitted by the said Committee,and having maturely considered the proposal for an Assessment, have thought proper and resolved fully to approve thereof.—Accordingly ordering and directing, as we do Order and Direct by these presents: That each and every Proprietor, or Proprietors, of a whole Lot or part of a Lot in the First and Second Empolders, of the Tpwn New Amsterdam, shall annually Contribute, into the hands of the Committee, chosen by the Proprietors of the Town Lots, and ratified and confirmed as a Committee by this Court,* and by them generally constituted for the Management of the 'J own, their Quota of contribution (conformable to the repartition list here inserted, which we have approved of and affixed for the next coming year) for the Lot or part of Lot which he, she, or they possess, either by Contract of Purchase or Transport, and conformable to his, her or their.return made to the said Committee; for improving and keeping up in constant Repair the Roads, Bridges, Drainage, and Koker, of the said Empolders, and tor other useful and necessary purposes. f l Emp. <2d Emp.

From the late t nglish Papers. An order has Iqjely been issued bydhe War Office, permitting the Fife Militia now at Chatham, and all the other regiments of Scotch Militia, to volunteer into the 49th regiments of the line, now serving in Canada; on condition, as is to be stated in their attestations, that each volunteer shall be discharged at the expiration of six months after a general peace, and be allotted a certain quantity of land in proportion to his rank. On the Ist of June, the Officers and men, quartered at Radipole Barracks, were gratified in seeing a brother soldier rewarded. Serjeant William Butler, of the 12th Light Dragoons.— All the Non Commissioned Officers of that Regiment were ordered to attend the Mess-room, after their Officers’ dinner, when Capt. Cole, of the Regiment, in the presence of the Field Officers and men belonging to the garrison, presented unto Serjeant Wm. Butler a silver cup, which the Officers.had voted to him as atoken of their regard for his good services, as a man and a soldier, for 48 years in that Regiment. Capt. Cole’s address in presenting the same, was such as to animate the young soldier, and to inspire those of more mature age to follow the example of the old veteran whom he was about to reward: the same was received with every degree of dignity and respect becoming the soldier.. When the old warrior received the emblem of honour, his feelings may be better imagined than described. The Band struck up ‘Britons strike home,’ and they marched to the old veteran’s room in military order, where the cup was filled with claret, and the evening spent with the greatest order and conviviality, at the expeuce of (he Officers of the garrison, during which the old soldier danced several hornpipes, in the 74th year of his age. In her late passage from the Cape of Good Hope, the Union discovered a shoal and reef hitherto unknown, of considerable extent, and icmfniently dangerous to vessels passing from thence to the French islands, as it lies in the direct tract; the account we have been politely favoured with, states, that the Union was becalmed for three hours w ithin three miles of a small rock, the length of which w as computed to be 12 yards, and the elevation above the water about six feet, from which a reef extends nearly six miles. The weather had been very favourable, and the Commander of the Union having a good Chronometer, it is believed that the position of this reef and shoal bas becn accurately ascertained; The longitude agreed very nearly w ith a recent lunar observation. We cannot, of course, vouch for the accuracy of u verbal communication, but the latitude is stated to be 35, and a few min. S. and the longitude 5'2, 30, E. It is thought to be the shoal laid down in some charts by the Dutch, and named Slot van Coqal. An Irish estate has recently been advertised in a Cork newspaper, with temptations to a purchaser of no ordinary kind—it consists of two villages, the lotnre prospects of which are set forth by stating, that one of them is let for nine hundred years, and the other on a lease fur ever! on the expiration of which terms, both the said villages will be capable of great improvement. AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE, New York, June 21.—We understand that an express to General Izard reached here last evening from New London, bringing intelligence that the British squadron off that port had been reinforced by a ship of the line, three frigates, and a brig; and that it was apprehended an immediate attack would be made upon the town. This news has been subsequently corroborated by the arrival of a smack down the Sound.—the Captain of which states, that he saw the above-described force off New London yesterday afternoon, aud that they suffered him to pass unmolested. The United States’ brig Argus sailed from this port for France on Saturday, with a fait wind, having on board our Ambassador, Mr. Crawford, add suite. By letters received here from Washington, it appears that the nomination of Gallatin, as Minister to Russia, has been rejected by the Senate by a majority of six.

Take confidence in him you love, . The partner of your life, The best of ornaments that can Distinguish the best wife; The fragment zypber of your breath, Let truth alone improve, Use this precept, nor even death Nor age shall lessen love. • O.—¦ “A GROAN’’ Shannon and Chesapeake.
