- 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.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1813.
No fresh news this time to lay before our Readers, but
having collected a few extracts from some late papers.
GENERAL ORDERS.
Horse Guards, \Oth Sept. 1813.
The Commander in Chief is persuaded, that the late Trial
of Eiv-ign Edward M’Guire, 6th West India Regiment;
Ensign James G>lchri«t, 6th West India Regiment; Lieu Lieutenant
tenant Lieutenant Anthony Ddion, 101st Regiment; Ensign Daniel
O’Brien, 101st Regiment, for the heinous crime of inunk r,
has excited the liveliest interest and anxiety throughout
the Army. His Royal Highness has therefore been pleas pleased
ed pleased to direct, that the following Letter, which he has re received
ceived received from the Lord Vi-count Sidmouth, one of his Ma.
jesty’s Principal Secretaries of State, shall be published in
General Orders.
Whitehall, Sept. 8, 1813.
“In obedience to the commands of the ITiiice Regent, 1
have the honour of acquainting yourlloy al Highness, that
it is his Royal Highness’s gracious intention not to order
the sentence upon the lour officers of the army, wiio were
capitally convicted at the last Assizes at Winchester, of
the murder of Lieutenant Blundell, of the 101st ii.giment
ot hoot, to be carried into'executioti; but to giant them
the Royal Pardon.
“1 lunik it incumbent upon meat the same time, to lay
before your Roy a' Highness a copy of the evidence adduc adduced
ed adduced upon the trial of those Officers; from which it appear.*,
that the original disagreement between Lieut. BiuudcU
and Ensign M’Guire, arose from a trivial cause; that no
attempt was made to reconcile the parti, s, but on tin
contrary, that, instead of those ettorts, which, if proper properly
ly properly ami seasonably exerted, might have had the happy es.
feet of preventing the meeting, which led to the fa.ai re.
suit, great pains were most unwarrantably taken to i...
stigateand promote it. This observation lam bound to
state, refers more especially to Dillon, who,
bom ms rank in the regiment, in the ai aiuiy,
uiy, aiuiy, was peculiarly called upon to exeicise his i .fluence
and authority for a purpose very dilterent from that to
which they were applied.â€
“I deem it my indispeiisible duty , to submit this repre representation
sentation representation to your R.yal Highness, a.id Ido so, in the lull
persuasion, that your Royal Highness will be pleased to
cause such steps to be taken upon this painful occasion,
as the circumstances of the case shall, upou consideration,
be found to require.
(Signed) “SIDMOUTH.â€
W hile the awful sentence of the law was pending, the
Commaiukr m Chief abstained from expressing any u; i imo.i
mo.i imo.i on this most distressing occasion. His Royal High Highness
ness Highness now feels it incumbent on him to .take that part,
whim a due regard to the discipline and the character of
the Army demands.
The Commander in Chief is sincerely rejoiced, that the
clemency of his Royal Highness the •Prince Regent, acting
»ii the name and on behalf of his Majesty, has been graci graciously
ously graciously extended to these Officers, and has prevented thei.
suitering an ignominious death.
The oiience of which they have been guilty, cannot,
however, in a military point of view , remain unnoticed.
On a due consideration of all the circumstance* attend attending
ing attending this transaction, the Commander in Chief is induced to
hink, that of all the parties concerned, the unfortunate
Officer w ho lost his life, and the yet more unfortunate onej
by whose hand his comrade fell, are the least culpable;
they appear not to have been actuated by any personal
animosity, but to have been instigated aud governed by
the advice of others. 1
1 he Commander in Chief is greatly concerned to observe,
that no such palliation can be adduced in the cases of
Lieutenant Dillon, Ensign Gilchrist, and Ensign O’Brien.
Their interference was equally uncalled for, aud unne unnecessary,
cessary, unnecessary, and tended, not as might have been expected, to
settle the trivial difference which existed between their
brother Officers, but to magnify its importance, and to
instigate them to the measure which has led to so fatal a
result.
The Commander in Chief therefore has it in command to
convey to all these Officers the highest displeasure of the
Prince Regent, for conduct so unmilitary and disgraceful;
and to notify to them, that they are no longer Officers in
his Majesty’s service,, but his Royal Highness being dis.
posed in this decision to attend to the distinction which
appears in their conduct, and observing that Lieutenant
Dillon, who, from his rank an'd standing in the army,
ought to have set a different example has throughout taken
the most prominent part in these outrageous proceedings,
and greatly influenced the conduct of Ensigns Gilchrist
and O’Brien, is pleased to limit the declaration of being
incapable of ever serving his Majesty in any Military ca.
pacify, to Anthony Dillon, late Lieutenant in (he 101 st
Regiment.
The Commander in Chief directs, that this ofder shall
he entered in the Orderly Books, and read at the bead of
every regiment and corps in the service. He hopes it will
prove an useful and impressive lesson to the young Officers
of the Army, and a warn.ng to them of the fatal couse.
queuces of allowing themselves to be misled by erroneous
notions, and false principles of honour; which, when
rightly understood, and leading to i s legitimate object, is
the brightest gem in the character of a sowlier.
By Ins Royal Highness the Commander in Chiefs coin,
maud. . . _

Accounts had reached Barbados from Jamaica, which
state the arrival there of Some and Passengers
who had been captured by the United States’ ship of war
Essex, Capt. Porter, that has been cruising for some time
in the South Seas. The Essex, up to the 28*h of May,
had cdptured five British vessels, one of which Capt. l or.
ter fitted out as a vessel of w ar, mounting 16 g.. is, a d.
gave the command of her to Lieut. Downs (first of the
Essex), w hen she shortly after captured three others, all
of which were carried into 'Fombes, when Capt. Porter
requested permission from the Spanish Governor to di**
pose of his prizes, but was refused. The British frigate
Phabe has gone round Cape Horn in search of the Essex.

To the Editor of the Berbice Gazette.
Sir,
From the various opinions which seem to be en enterained
terained enterained of the late Schedule of Taxation, intended to be
levied from the Town of New Amsterdam, as well as of
what has been considered by some the rather objection objectionable
able objectionable proposed mode, and expence, of collection—and ap apprehending
prehending apprehending that, however desireable, a perfect unanimi unanimity,
ty, unanimity, is seldom if ever to be expected, on occasions of vot voting
ing voting money for public purposes or public improvements,
particularly when there may happen to be so many and
such various interests, as well as tempers and disposi dispositions
tions dispositions to consult.—ls you think the following suggestions,
byway of remedy, to the evil complained of, worth your
insertion, they may at least serve one good purpose, that
of probably drawing the attention of some others more
ccmpetent than myself to do justice to a subject, confes confessedly
sedly confessedly of some imputance, and on which the Inhabitants
may soon again be called upon to give their canded opin opinion,
ion, opinion, andfinally to decide.
Ist.—That the collection and disposal of the Town
Funds, be in future placed under the entire charge of the
Receiver General of the colony, for the time being, in
‘the same manner as the other receipts and expenditure of
the colony, no other than the usual and established Com Commission
mission Commission of his ofji:e, being to be paid by the Town, but
the lots and buildings of every description within the two
empulders, to be always liable and executable for what whatever
ever whatever assessment it may from time to time be found neces neceshary
hary neceshary and expedient to enact in the same manner as all ths
•sfuijs or plantations to thin the Government, all under
suh regulations, 6{c. as His Excellency the Governor
and the Hou. Court of Policy may dee m proper.
2d.—That as I believe it has b en heretofore customa customary
ry customary for the Town Inhabitants, to pay the Tax. or Heud Heudmoncy
moncy Heudmoncy on their domestics and other slaves, to the Receiv Receiver
er Receiver General's Ojice,. it is presumed no good reason can
now be urged, why their other taxes (and whether aris arising
ing arising on buildings or unoccupied lots) should not also be
paid to the same ojice, at the same time, half yearly, or
at other stated periods to be fixed upon; some regula regulations
tions regulations of this kind, it is hoped, may greatly tend, not on only
ly only to put an end to any Individual or party differences
(should unfortunately any exist) amongst the proprietors
themselves, but also give a much greater degree of confi confidence,
dence, confidence, than could otherwise probably be expected, in the
proper execution and payment of any contracts, or im improvements
provements improvements occasionally going forward, besides perhaps
proving in the end, the most effectual and least burthen,
some mode of collection that could well be suggested.
3d.—'l hat, whatever the mode of collection to be fin finaly
aly finaly determed upon, under the sanction of the Hon. Court
may be, some regard may be had to the circumstances,
and ability of Individuals, none being to be called upon,
for more, than a correct estimation to be formed of the
retd value of his building or lot, may reasonably warrant
—Two, or more, competent members of the community,
to be named by the Hon. the Court of Policy, as sworn
appraissers, (if necessary), ansi whose duty it would be,
annually to appraise, according to the best of teir judge judgement,
ment, judgement, each particular lot, buildings, ftc., the result of all
which to be as regularly laid before the Hon. Court, to.
get her with an estimate of the probable Town expenditure
for the ensuing year, to enable them to make due and ad adequate
equate adequate provision for the same, by a percentage on the to.
tai appraisement, all would then in proportion be placed •
on a more equal footing, and pay only to their property
or means. An Inuabitant.
When coward got in fighting humour,
The fit did not last long,
Philosophy then talk’d in stammer,
Antagonist’s too strong.
To quibble them for aid he runs,
And says, in quaking fright,
This fray could surely get some turns,
Might parry of the right.
Quibble in his usual strain,
Lent a hand in quirking,
For fee he labour’d not in vain,
Payment was horsewhipping.

No fresh news this time to lay before our Readers, but having collected a few extracts from some late papers. GENERAL ORDERS. Horse Guards, \Oth Sept. 1813. The Commander in Chief is persuaded, that the late Trial of Eiv-ign Edward M’Guire, 6th West India Regiment; Ensign James G>lchri«t, 6th West India Regiment; Lieutenant Anthony Ddion, 101st Regiment; Ensign Daniel O’Brien, 101st Regiment, for the heinous crime of inunk r, has excited the liveliest interest and anxiety throughout the Army. His Royal Highness has therefore been pleased to direct, that the following Letter, which he has received from the Lord Vi-count Sidmouth, one of his Ma. jesty’s Principal Secretaries of State, shall be published in General Orders. Whitehall, Sept. 8, 1813. “In obedience to the commands of the ITiiice Regent, 1 have the honour of acquainting yourlloy al Highness, that it is his Royal Highness’s gracious intention not to order the sentence upon the lour officers of the army, wiio were capitally convicted at the last Assizes at Winchester, of the murder of Lieutenant Blundell, of the 101st ii.giment ot hoot, to be carried into'executioti; but to giant them the Royal Pardon. “1 lunik it incumbent upon meat the same time, to lay before your Roy a' Highness a copy of the evidence adduced upon the trial of those Officers; from which it appear.*, that the original disagreement between Lieut. BiuudcU and Ensign M’Guire, arose from a trivial cause; that no attempt was made to reconcile the parti, s, but on tin contrary, that, instead of those ettorts, which, if properly ami seasonably exerted, might have had the happy es. feet of preventing the meeting, which led to the fa.ai re. suit, great pains were most unwarrantably taken to i... stigateand promote it. This observation lam bound to state, refers more especially to Dillon, who, bom ms rank in the regiment, in the aiuiy, was peculiarly called upon to exeicise his i .fluence and authority for a purpose very dilterent from that to which they were applied.” “I deem it my indispeiisible duty , to submit this representation to your R.yal Highness, a.id Ido so, in the lull persuasion, that your Royal Highness will be pleased to cause such steps to be taken upon this painful occasion, as the circumstances of the case shall, upou consideration, be found to require. (Signed) “SIDMOUTH.” W hile the awful sentence of the law was pending, the Commaiukr m Chief abstained from expressing any u; imo.i on this most distressing occasion. His Royal Highness now feels it incumbent on him to .take that part, whim a due regard to the discipline and the character of the Army demands. The Commander in Chief is sincerely rejoiced, that the clemency of his Royal Highness the •Prince Regent, acting »ii the name and on behalf of his Majesty, has been graciously extended to these Officers, and has prevented thei. suitering an ignominious death. The oiience of which they have been guilty, cannot, however, in a military point of view , remain unnoticed. On a due consideration of all the circumstance* attending this transaction, the Commander in Chief is induced to hink, that of all the parties concerned, the unfortunate Officer w ho lost his life, and the yet more unfortunate onej by whose hand his comrade fell, are the least culpable; they appear not to have been actuated by any personal animosity, but to have been instigated aud governed by the advice of others. 1 1 he Commander in Chief is greatly concerned to observe, that no such palliation can be adduced in the cases of Lieutenant Dillon, Ensign Gilchrist, and Ensign O’Brien. Their interference was equally uncalled for, aud unnecessary, and tended, not as might have been expected, to settle the trivial difference which existed between their brother Officers, but to magnify its importance, and to instigate them to the measure which has led to so fatal a result. The Commander in Chief therefore has it in command to convey to all these Officers the highest displeasure of the Prince Regent, for conduct so unmilitary and disgraceful; and to notify to them, that they are no longer Officers in his Majesty’s service,, but his Royal Highness being dis. posed in this decision to attend to the distinction which appears in their conduct, and observing that Lieutenant Dillon, who, from his rank an'd standing in the army, ought to have set a different example has throughout taken the most prominent part in these outrageous proceedings, and greatly influenced the conduct of Ensigns Gilchrist and O’Brien, is pleased to limit the declaration of being incapable of ever serving his Majesty in any Military ca. pacify, to Anthony Dillon, late Lieutenant in (he 101 st Regiment. The Commander in Chief directs, that this ofder shall he entered in the Orderly Books, and read at the bead of every regiment and corps in the service. He hopes it will prove an useful and impressive lesson to the young Officers of the Army, and a warn.ng to them of the fatal couse. queuces of allowing themselves to be misled by erroneous notions, and false principles of honour; which, when rightly understood, and leading to i s legitimate object, is the brightest gem in the character of a sowlier. By Ins Royal Highness the Commander in Chiefs coin, maud. . . _ HARRY CALVERT, Adjutant-General. Accounts had reached Barbados from Jamaica, which state the arrival there of Some and Passengers who had been captured by the United States’ ship of war Essex, Capt. Porter, that has been cruising for some time in the South Seas. The Essex, up to the 28*h of May, had cdptured five British vessels, one of which Capt. l or. ter fitted out as a vessel of w ar, mounting 16 g.. is, a d. gave the command of her to Lieut. Downs (first of the Essex), w hen she shortly after captured three others, all of which were carried into 'Fombes, when Capt. Porter requested permission from the Spanish Governor to di** pose of his prizes, but was refused. The British frigate Phabe has gone round Cape Horn in search of the Essex.

Notlnng 1 could say would add to the lustre of this gallant action, which so decidedly speaks for itself.

Honorable William Jones, Secretary of the Navy, Washington City. Copy of a letter from Sam. Storer, Esq. Navy Agent, Portland, to ('apt.

Sir—l have the happiness to inform you, that another glorious achievement has been added to the list of those already acquired by our navy ; but the pleasure and satisfaction with which I should give you the following ac. count is greatly lessened by the death of the brave Capt. Burrows. On Friday last, the U.S. brig Enterprise, William Bur. rows, commander, left this port on a cruise, and, yesterday afternoon fell in with 11. B. M. brig Boxer, J. Bly th, commander, mounting 16 181 b. carronades, and 2 long nine pounders, between Cape Elizabeth and Sequin Islands, off this harbour, when a severe action took place, which ended after a con diet of 15 minutes by' the capture of the Boxer.—The loss on board the Enterprise is her brave and lamented commander and tw o men killed, and I'-veti wounded ; and on board the Boxer, the commander killed and between forty and titty officers and men killed and wounded. The Enterprise a.id her prize are now at anchor under the guns of Fort Preble. The fresh wind frotnN. N. W. has prevented their getting up to the town; but they will get up this evening on the turn of the tide.— Several small vesse s and boats went oil this morning, as soon as the two vessels appeared in sight, in which several surgeons from this town went to offer their professional assistance, as from the appearance of the sails znd masts of both vessel, it seemed they must Lave had a severe action. One of the boats w hich went down has just come up from the Enterprise, from whivh I have received the foregoing particulars ; but we must wait a few houis fur more correct detail*, which shall be forwarded to you as soon as they are received. In the mean time lam providing the necosary and comfoitable accommodations for the wounded of b ihc funeral by the ci-, tizens of this place, which the time v.. i permit of, but it would be desirable to have your wi-lies’known tm this subject—the funeral will Dot take place unit.

The Boxer is staled to Be’nearly a third heavier tonnage than | the Enterprise. The dispatch from Com.

Sir, From the various opinions which seem to be enterained of the late Schedule of Taxation, intended to be levied from the Town of New Amsterdam, as well as of what has been considered by some the rather objectionable proposed mode, and expence, of collection—and apprehending that, however desireable, a perfect unanimity, is seldom if ever to be expected, on occasions of voting money for public purposes or public improvements, particularly when there may happen to be so many and such various interests, as well as tempers and dispositions to consult.—ls you think the following suggestions, byway of remedy, to the evil complained of, worth your insertion, they may at least serve one good purpose, that of probably drawing the attention of some others more ccmpetent than myself to do justice to a subject, confessedly of some imputance, and on which the Inhabitants may soon again be called upon to give their canded opinion, andfinally to decide. Ist.—That the collection and disposal of the Town Funds, be in future placed under the entire charge of the Receiver General of the colony, for the time being, in ‘the same manner as the other receipts and expenditure of the colony, no other than the usual and established Commission of his ofji:e, being to be paid by the Town, but the lots and buildings of every description within the two empulders, to be always liable and executable for whatever assessment it may from time to time be found neceshary and expedient to enact in the same manner as all ths •sfuijs or plantations to thin the Government, all under suh regulations, 6{c. as His Excellency the Governor and the Hou. Court of Policy may dee m proper. 2d.—That as I believe it has b en heretofore customary for the Town Inhabitants, to pay the Tax. or Heudmoncy on their domestics and other slaves, to the Receiver General's Ojice,. it is presumed no good reason can now be urged, why their other taxes (and whether arising on buildings or unoccupied lots) should not also be paid to the same ojice, at the same time, half yearly, or at other stated periods to be fixed upon; some regulations of this kind, it is hoped, may greatly tend, not only to put an end to any Individual or party differences (should unfortunately any exist) amongst the proprietors themselves, but also give a much greater degree of confidence, than could otherwise probably be expected, in the proper execution and payment of any contracts, or improvements occasionally going forward, besides perhaps proving in the end, the most effectual and least burthen, some mode of collection that could well be suggested. 3d.—'l hat, whatever the mode of collection to be finaly determed upon, under the sanction of the Hon. Court may be, some regard may be had to the circumstances, and ability of Individuals, none being to be called upon, for more, than a correct estimation to be formed of the retd value of his building or lot, may reasonably warrant —Two, or more, competent members of the community, to be named by the Hon. the Court of Policy, as sworn appraissers, (if necessary), ansi whose duty it would be, annually to appraise, according to the best of teir judgement, each particular lot, buildings, ftc., the result of all which to be as regularly laid before the Hon. Court, to. get her with an estimate of the probable Town expenditure for the ensuing year, to enable them to make due and adequate provision for the same, by a percentage on the to. tai appraisement, all would then in proportion be placed • on a more equal footing, and pay only to their property or means. An Inuabitant. When coward got in fighting humour, The fit did not last long, Philosophy then talk’d in stammer, Antagonist’s too strong. To quibble them for aid he runs, And says, in quaking fright, This fray could surely get some turns, Might parry of the right. Quibble in his usual strain, Lent a hand in quirking, For fee he labour’d not in vain, Payment was horsewhipping.
