- 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.

NEW
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1813.
WE regret to be under the necessity of apologiz apologizing
ing apologizing to our Readers, for thedisappbintment, occasion occasioned
ed occasioned by the non-publication of a Gazette, which we
promised to have delivered on Wednesday last.
This Paper was in a state of readiness foi* delivering,
but the issue of the same was forbad by authority.
AVe have copied in our last Saturday Paper, From the
English Papers, Letters from Lord Cathcart and Edward
Thornton, Esq. relative to the recent occurrences in Ger.
many ; and likewise those from Field Marshal Wellington
and Sir Thomas Graham, with particulars of the surren.
der of St. Sebastian. Since the fall of w hich, it w ould aj.
pear to be the intention of Government to furnish our
General in Chief with the means of entering France,
should there seem to be any prospect of success in the at.
tempt; for, with the numerous detachments that had al
roady sailed, and others on the point of departure for
Spain, it is said that he would be able to appropriate to
(hat particular service, 92,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry,
and a proportionate number of other requisites of an army,
that would amount to 110,000 men.—There was a secret
expedition also preparing in England, which may proba probably
bly probably be intended to act in conjunction w ith him—Pampe.
luna, a though nearly in a state of starvation, had not
yielded to the severity of its blockade w hert the last ac.
counts from Spa.n were forwarded to our Government.
It was the intention of His Royal Highness the Prines
Regent, that the British Parliament should assembled
on the 4th of the present month, for the dispatch of pu.
blic business.
On the 25th Sept. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent
w as pleased to confer the dignity of Baronet of the Unit,
ed Kingdom of Gnat Britain and Ireland, upon Philip
Bowes \ ere Broke, Esq. of His Majesty’s Navy, and
Commander of the Shannon frigate when she capturedihs
American frigate Chesapeake.
AVe have much satisfaction in stating, (hat on a late in.
spcction made by Commissior Beyle and Dr. *Baird, of th#
1‘ rench prisoners at Forton, Porchcster, and on board,
the Prison-ships in Portsmouth harbour, it appeared, ther#
were only 15 4 patients in the hospitals, out of 20,680
prisoners. These were all slight cases; notone of typhus
fever, or of any actute decease, except stitch as had arisen
from cold or indiscretion. ,
Government have given permission to the Irish Disfillc.
ries to commence working jon the 14 th of Oct. thirtydays
after the Proclamation issued to that effect. This »ca »casure,
sure, »casure, w hile it proves a most serviceable financial resource,
is an indication of the prosperous harvest, and the abuo.
dance of provisions in the country.
Ihe army were highly satisfied with the Marquis AVel AVellington
lington AVellington being made a Field Marshal, and hoped, as a na natural

Mr. Editor,
Our books teach us that whatever is not agreeable
to reason is not law ; and thatlaw is not only founded
on reason, but is the very essence of it.
Thoughts are notat ourown disposal, and however
they may be directed, no criminality can attach until
they are reduced to practice.
Therefore alibelmustbepw&fes/zed. Although the
publication of a truth may occasion ill blood, and
thereby cause a breach of the peace, yet the exposure
of immoral or vicious conduct must certainly dogood
by preventing evil in others; and as vice ought to be
eradicated, and prevented by all possible means, the
exposure of it is not only lawful, but dutiful.
Therefore a libel must be false. A falsehood may
be published that implicates nothing either ridicu ridiculous
lous ridiculous or criminal; and as such a publication cannot
defame, it will not provoke revenge.
Therefore a libel must be scandalous. A false scan scandal
dal scandal may be published with a good intent, for the pu publisher
blisher publisher may suppose it to betrue, and if so, he is not
only free from criminality, but is in the direct line of
bis duty.
Therefore a libel must be malicious. Reason, it
appears, defines libel to be — false, scandalous, and
malicious publication ; and whenever there is a de defect
fect defect in any one of these four attributes, no libel is
committed.
It is exclusively the province of the Jury to find
the libel; and in doing it they must find all the four
facts of falsehood, scandal, malice, and publication;
or else they must pronounce, No Libel. Whether
guilty, or not guilty, must be determined by the
Jurors ; and the Judge (who, as his title implies, is
the mere voice of the law) is bound by his oath to
pronounce the sentence of the law. The Judge has
no concern in determining the fact, that is, the het
and the intent; an action is either guilty or innocent
according to the intent ; and as the Jury must deter determine
mine determine the guilt, they are to decide the intent as well as
the act.
Ax Enemy to Libels.

Lines- on Sophia, late Daughter of Dr. Solomon, and
I Life of S. J. Tobias, Esq. icho died the 21 st of June,
1813 Aged 21.
Could Wealth or Beauty stay the fleeting Breath,
Or Med’cine’s Charm arrest the Iland of Death,
The young and virtuous Sophia had not died,
Nor fond Tobias for his Consort sigh’d,
Wealth, Beauty Youth and Virtue’s Charms prov*d vain,
The struggling Spirit longer to detain ;
And Med’cine could not trim the Lamp of Life,
Nor save from Death the Daughter and the Wife,
Clay-cold upon the Couch—Behold-her lie
Embalm'd with Tears from Friendship’s streaming Eye!
Mute is that Voice w hich enroll'd Song Divine,
And dim those Eyes that late were wont to shine;
Clos’d are those Lips that never utter’d Guile
And when they open’d—open'd with a Smile !
The ling’fing Graces weep a last Adieu
To the ale Check that glow'd with crimson Hue;
The Loves, the Graces, and. the Smiles are fled,
Life's Pulse stands still—and sweet Sophia’s dead!
Not ev’u thy Balin of Gilead’ could prolong,
O Solomon I the Subject of my Song!
Thy ‘Bahn of Gilead,’ which was wont to heal
In ev'ry Clime—and seldom known to fail!
The healing Virtues in sad Hour are fled,
Life’s Pulse stands still—and thy Sophia’s dead!
No Med’cine can the vUal Spark restore,
And she who liv’d to please, shall please no more!
So when a Rose, upon its fragrant Bed,
Nipt by untimely Frosts, droops down its Head,
The Shades grow faint, in which it was array’d,
And all its short-liv'd Beauties fade;
■»No Florist’s Art back to its Fold can bring
The blushing Tints—or cause a second Spring!

Broekener, foi , ‘fhe’*n)ulatto givanc/sc white soap, See. Nov. J. H. SCHLARHORST. 777E BERBICE GAZETTE. NEW SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1813. WE regret to be under the necessity of apologizing to our Readers, for thedisappbintment, occasioned by the non-publication of a Gazette, which we promised to have delivered on Wednesday last. This Paper was in a state of readiness foi* delivering, but the issue of the same was forbad by authority. AVe have copied in our last Saturday Paper, From the English Papers, Letters from Lord Cathcart and Edward Thornton, Esq. relative to the recent occurrences in Ger. many ; and likewise those from Field Marshal Wellington and Sir Thomas Graham, with particulars of the surren. der of St. Sebastian. Since the fall of w hich, it w ould aj. pear to be the intention of Government to furnish our General in Chief with the means of entering France, should there seem to be any prospect of success in the at. tempt; for, with the numerous detachments that had al roady sailed, and others on the point of departure for Spain, it is said that he would be able to appropriate to (hat particular service, 92,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry, and a proportionate number of other requisites of an army, that would amount to 110,000 men.—There was a secret expedition also preparing in England, which may probably be intended to act in conjunction w ith him—Pampe. luna, a though nearly in a state of starvation, had not yielded to the severity of its blockade w hert the last ac. counts from Spa.n were forwarded to our Government. It was the intention of His Royal Highness the Prines Regent, that the British Parliament should assembled on the 4th of the present month, for the dispatch of pu. blic business. On the 25th Sept. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent w as pleased to confer the dignity of Baronet of the Unit, ed Kingdom of Gnat Britain and Ireland, upon Philip Bowes \ ere Broke, Esq. of His Majesty’s Navy, and Commander of the Shannon frigate when she capturedihs American frigate Chesapeake. AVe have much satisfaction in stating, (hat on a late in. spcction made by Commissior Beyle and Dr. *Baird, of th# 1‘ rench prisoners at Forton, Porchcster, and on board, the Prison-ships in Portsmouth harbour, it appeared, ther# were only 15 4 patients in the hospitals, out of 20,680 prisoners. These were all slight cases; notone of typhus fever, or of any actute decease, except stitch as had arisen from cold or indiscretion. , Government have given permission to the Irish Disfillc. ries to commence working jon the 14 th of Oct. thirtydays after the Proclamation issued to that effect. This »casure, w hile it proves a most serviceable financial resource, is an indication of the prosperous harvest, and the abuo. dance of provisions in the country. Ihe army were highly satisfied with the Marquis AVellington being made a Field Marshal, and hoped, as a natural consequence of his elevation, that the bar was re. moved that prevented many able Generals from serving with him. It w as reported in the army that, in addition to the thres distinguished Officers, Sir John Hope, Lord Uxbridge, and Sir David Baird, the’ Marquis had asked for Lord Rosslyn, Lord Charles Somerset, Marquis of Huntley, Sir John Stewart, Gen. Ferguson, and Gen. M’Leod, of th« Artillery • and Colonel Paisley, of the Engineers. AVe have already stated that Sir Thomas Graham is his return home, in consequence of his eye-sight being again affected. Sir John Hope, now Commander of ths forces in Ireland, is going out to be second in command to Lord AVellington. Sir John was senior to the Marquis J but in consequence of the latter being advanced to ths rank of a Field-Marshal, he can now properly serve under him, and he is an excellent Officer. General Hewitt is t® be the Commander of the Forces in Ireland. Above four millions of guineas have been exported to France within the last two years; and within the last fortnight 100,00 t/ have been drawn from Iceland only* It is perfectly known that the shops in all our sea-port towns are full of French jewellery, silks, laces, glor®t> and toys—all for the purchase of gold.

Sir John Murray sailed from Mahon on the 30th of June, in his Majesty’s ship Brune, to take the command in Sicily. But, Lord William Beutinck will soon resume his station there, Sir John Hope having been appointed to succeed him in tWe command of the army in the Eeast of Spa in i A Detachment of the Life Guards inarched from Lon. don on the ‘27th Sept, on their route to Portsmouth, to embark for the Peninsula. Detachments of the 31th, 71th and 81th regiments ar. rived Ililsca depot on the 19th Sept, to wait embarkation for Spain. A detachment of the Royal artillery arrived on the 26tli, and embarked. Detachments of the ‘2d bsttalion 38th regt, and of the‘2d batt. 39th regt, at Weymouth, were under orders to hold themselves in readiness to join the Ist battalions in the Peninsula. The 23d Dragoons, which suffered so much at the battle of Talavera, were under orders for the Peninsula. The Duke of Cumberland, it is said, is expected horn? very shortly, nu. having been jcceived tavourably by foreign powers. The project w hich the Marquis of Wellington had formed of making an incursion into France, is not, wc believe, who|lv abandoned by his Lordship. One of the chief obstach's to its execution is, no doubt, removed by the fall of St. S bastl.tn. But Pampluna still holds out; and Until that fortress is also in possession of the Allies, no forward movement will be made into the French territory. It has hfi'h be n calculated at bead-quarters, that the garri-on ha*.only a .uffident quantity of provisions to last tie in till about the close of the present month, when it is pretty confidently expected they will be obliged to I surrender the place. No act of Sir Thomas G raham’s military life has reflected greater lustre on his genius and talents as a Commander, than the ma'inci in which the town of St. Sebastian’s was at length taken by sfortn. The almost insuperable difficulties which impeded the progress of the assailants, called in a peculiar degree for ail the promptitude and presence of jniiul of their General, and his resources fully answered the exigencies of the occadon. His ordering the guns to be turned against the curtain, aided by the precision of the artillery in firing a few feet only over the heads of our troops in the breach, it is evident was the »ole means, at the critical moment which had occurred, of carrying the place. The state of the attack, from tki skilful defe iice> prepared by the enemy, was almost des. perafe., and but fur this new expedie.it adopted at the mo. meet, and instantly curried into effect, there is every rca. loh to believe that the assault must hare failed, or at least Could only have succeeded at the price of a loss of life infinitely greater (han that actually Sustained. Berlin, Sept. 12. —Letters from Vienne, received to. day, state, that Gen. Hillier had totally defeated the Viceroy of Italy near Leybach, made 9000 prisoners, and many pieces of cannon. On the 6th, all the troops again entered Saxony and Bavaria from Bohemia. Three regiments of Cossacks, some days since passed the Elbe; they had yesterday already taken 1200 prisoners, and one standard. Our late victories have been celebrated here to-day by the discharge of 100 pieces of cannon. It has been notified in Dresden, that the French will soon pass the Elbe, as Austria has offered an armistice. ¦¦ ¦ « Commodore Rodgers, in the President, was safe arrived at Newport, (US.) on the26thSept, last, after acruise •f 5 montns.—*l his may be attributed to her falling in with the Highflyer tender of Nantucket Shoals,'whose signal by some means she answered with accuracy; so that, mistaking her for a Britisa man of war* the officer of the tender proceeded on board, and gave to the enemy |he instructions that had been issued by Sir Jphnß.War< »6n, as well as the private signals, and at the same time •cquainted Rodgers that he was looking out tor the President frigate, in order to acquaint the British men of war, two of which were stationed off Boston bay to prevent ier entrance, and others were watching for her in the Sound. 1 hus being put in possession of the particular »t»tions of our cruisers, Com. Rodgers steered for a different Port, it having been his original intention to pro®wd for Boston, Paris Sept. 3. ecr ee “Napoleon, by the grace of God, &c. &c. Tho Senate, after having heard the Orators oflhc Council of State, decreed, and we order what follows : “The Conservative Senate having assembled on the 24th August, 1813, to the number of Members prescribed by Article 90 of the Act of the Constitution, of 13th Dec. 1799; “Considering the Projet of the Senates Consultum, corrected in the form prescribed by Art. 57 of the Act of the Constitution, of 4th Aug. 1802 ; “After having heard, upon the motives of the said Projet, the Orators of the Council of State, and the Report of the Special Commmission appointed in the Sitting of yesterday—the adoption having been deliberated by the number of voices prescribed by Art. 56 of the Regulation of the 4th Aug; 1802—Decreed. Art. I. Thirty thousand men, taken from the classes of 1814, 1813, 1812, and anterior ones', in the Departments hereafter mentioned [Here follow the names, which are numerous.] shall be placed at the disposition of the Minister at War.” [The Decree afterwards orders, that those 30,000 men shall be divided apaung the corps d’armee in Dresden, Aug. 31.—According to the report of, his Valet de Chambre, Gen. Moreau was wounded by a cannon ball, near the entrenchments established before Dresden. On the 27th at about four o’clock in the afternoon he wa« conveyed to Noethlitz, where both his legs were amputated below the knees. After the amputation, he asked for something to eat and a cup of tea. Three eggs and some tea were offered him, but he only took the tea. About seven o’clock he was placed in a litter, and iu the evening convoyed to Passindorf by Russian soldiers. He passed the night in the country house of M. Tretscheir, grand master of forests. He only took in this house another cup of tea: he complained much of the pain he suffen d. Oh the 28th, at four in the morning, he was carried by Russian soldiers from Passindorf to Dippoldiswalde, where he took a little white bread and a glass of lemon ide, in the house of the baker Watz. An hour after lie was conveyed near the Bohemian frontiers. Russian soldiers carried him in the body of a coach. During the journey of Gen. Moretu to Bohemia, he never ceased uttering cues extorted from him by pain. At •Iki'sendorf and Dipp oldeswalde the Russian Generals expressed the utmost chagrin at this event; they said it was unfortunate that the Emperor Alexander should have brought Gen. Moreau from the bottom of America, .and that he should have 10.-t both legs, almost at the very mo-, incut when he tou< hed the soil of Europe; they , however, appeared toexpect that in four weeks hewojild bo cured of his wounds, and that he w ould still be in a condition to attend to the labours of the Cabinet, and to form plans for the campaign. Among Moreau’s?.attendants was an Indian, who appeared inconsolable on account of his master’s w ound. In seeing so great a fault punished by so great a misfortune, there is no person who must not make this reflection—the finger of Providence was there. The following is an account of the wars between England and France, with the terms of their duration, since the one which commenced in 1110, and which continued two years—ll4l, one year—ll6l, twenty-five years—; 1211, fifteen years-—122 J, nineteen years——l 294, five years—l 339, twenty-one years —1368, fifty-two years—-1422, forty.nine years——l 492, one month 1.512, two years—ls2l, six years—ls 49, one year—lss7, twoy’rs. 1562, two years—l 627, two years 1666, one year— — 1689, ten years—l7o2, eleven years—l 744, four years — 1756, seven years—l 776, seven years—l 793, nine years; and lastly, in 1803, which still subsists, making, within a period of 700 years, 266 years of war. A gentleman who is just returned from a tour in Ireland, met, during a ride in the neighbourhood of the Lake of Killarney, with two natives, whom he addressed upon the cheering prospect of harvest. Os potatoes in particular, one of them asserted that the crop was “most bountiful.” “Why,” asked our informant, “have you commenced digging already ?”—“Och! Sir, there is good rason for that,” replied Paddy, “only clap your good-looking ear to the ground, and you’ll find ’em cursing and grumbling at on« another for want of room.”. Mr. Editor, Our books teach us that whatever is not agreeable to reason is not law ; and thatlaw is not only founded on reason, but is the very essence of it. Thoughts are notat ourown disposal, and however they may be directed, no criminality can attach until they are reduced to practice. Therefore alibelmustbepw&fes/zed. Although the publication of a truth may occasion ill blood, and thereby cause a breach of the peace, yet the exposure of immoral or vicious conduct must certainly dogood by preventing evil in others; and as vice ought to be eradicated, and prevented by all possible means, the exposure of it is not only lawful, but dutiful. Therefore a libel must be false. A falsehood may be published that implicates nothing either ridiculous or criminal; and as such a publication cannot defame, it will not provoke revenge. Therefore a libel must be scandalous. A false scandal may be published with a good intent, for the publisher may suppose it to betrue, and if so, he is not only free from criminality, but is in the direct line of bis duty. Therefore a libel must be malicious. Reason, it appears, defines libel to be — false, scandalous, and malicious publication ; and whenever there is a defect in any one of these four attributes, no libel is committed. It is exclusively the province of the Jury to find the libel; and in doing it they must find all the four facts of falsehood, scandal, malice, and publication; or else they must pronounce, No Libel. Whether guilty, or not guilty, must be determined by the Jurors ; and the Judge (who, as his title implies, is the mere voice of the law) is bound by his oath to pronounce the sentence of the law. The Judge has no concern in determining the fact, that is, the het and the intent; an action is either guilty or innocent according to the intent ; and as the Jury must determine the guilt, they are to decide the intent as well as the act. Ax Enemy to Libels. POETRY. Lineson Sophia, late Daughter of Dr. Solomon, and I Life of S. J. Tobias, Esq. icho died the 21 st of June, 1813 Aged 21.
