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.

AT a MEETING of the British Inhabitants of th®
Colony of Surinam: .1
Resolved— That the genet al poverty and distress
w hich this Colony has been reduced by different circtnr.
stances, and more particularly by the operation of the
Commission for taking charge of Absentee Alien Proper,
ties, rertder it highly expedient that some measure should
be taken to obtain redress.
That from the information conveyed to us, Mr. Bent,
the Receiver and Administrator General, appears to have
gone far beyond the intentions of His Majesty's Ministers,
in the appointment of the said commission.
That the measures he has thought proper to introduce,
have established an almost complete monopoly in hands of
himself and friends, of the commerce of the Colony.
That several irferitorionsindividuals have been thereby
driven to great loss, and deprived of the means of support,
ing themselves and families.
That confident this could not have been the intention of
His Majesty’s Government, it becomes expedient for us,
as British Subjects, to state our grievances in an humbk
Petition.and Memorial.
That the purport of the said memorial be, to so'icit th«
recal of the commission; or that its powers and objects
may be defined, and a proper check and controui establish,
ed, and, at any rate, that the monopoly at present so hi.
juriously erected, may be abo'i-hrd.
That the petition now presented to us, be signed by us
all, and that the inhabitants and colonists at large be ini it.
ed to come forward in its support
That the same be presented io His Excellency the Go.
vernor, with a request to forward it, accompanied with
every information requisite; and a duplicate forwarded to
the Committee of Merchants in London, to be by them
presented to Lprd Bathurst.
That these resolutions be sent for Insertion to the Edi.
tors of the Newspapers i i Surinam, Berbice, and Demera.
ry, and in Barbados.

Dispatches, of which the following are Copies, were this
day received" by Earl Bathurst, from Lieut—Gen. Sir
George Prevost, Bart.
Head-quarters, Kingston, Upper Canada,
e Aug. 8, 1813.
My Lord, —I have the honour to acquaint your Lord,
ship that the enemy’s fleet of twelve sail made its appear,
tnce off York on the 31st ultimo: the three square-rigged
Vessels, the Pike, Madison, and Oneida, came to anchor
in the offing, but the schooners passed up the harbour aud
l»nded several boats full of troops at the former garrison,
an d proceeded from thence to the town, of which they
‘ took possession. The opened the gaol, liberated the pri.
»oners, and took away three soldiers confined for felony:
they then went to the hospitals and parolled the few men
that could not.be removed ; they next entered the store,
houses of some inhabitants, seized their contents, chiefly
flour, the same being private property; between eleven

and twelve o’clock that night they returned on board their
vessels; the next morning, Sunday the Ist instant, the
enemy again landed; and s*#»t three armed boats up the
river Don, in search ot p tores, of which being disap disappointed,
pointed, disappointed, by sunset both /dfers and sailorshad evacuated
the town, the small barntVk, wood.yardj and store-house,
on Gibraltar Point, having been first set on fire by them ;
and at d sailed.
The plunder obtained by the enemy upon this predato predatory
ry predatory expedition has been indeed trifling, a >d the loss has
altogether fallen upon individuals; the public stores of
every description having been removed ; and the only pri.
soners taking by them being confined felofis aud invalids
in hospital.
The troops which were lahded were acting as marines,
and appeared to be about two hundred and fifty men ; they
were under the command of Commodore Chauncey, and
Lieut.-Colonel.Scott, an unexchanged prisoner of war on
his parole, both of whom landed with the troops: the
town, upon the arrival of the enemy, was totally defence,
less, the militia were still on their parole, and the princi.
pal Gentlemen had retired, from an apprehension of being
treated with the same severity used towards several of the
inhabitants near Fort George, who had been made prison,
ers and sent to the United States : Lieut.. Col. Battersby,
of the Glengarry fencibles, with'the detachment of light
troops under his command, who had been stationed at
York, was, upon the appearance of the enemy’s fleet off
that place on the 29th ultimo, ordered, with his detach,
ment and light artillery, to proceed for the protection of
the depots formed on Burlington Heights, where hi had
joined Major Maule’s detachment of the 104th regiment,
and concentrated his force on the following evening. The
enemy had, during the course of tiiat day, landed from the
fleet five hundred men, near Brandt’s House, with an in intention
tention intention of storming the heights, but finding Major Maule
well prepared to receive them, and being informed of Lieut .
Col. Battersby’s march, they reim barked and stood away
for York.
My last accounts from Major.Gea. de Rottenburg are
to the 3d instant, when the enemy’s fleet had anchored oti
Niagara; I have received no tidings of our squadron un under
der under Sir James Yeo, since its sailing from hence on the 31st
ultimo.
I have the honour to be, &c.

block-houses, barracks, and stores of every description at
Piattkbiugli, Swanton, and Champlain Town, and the ex.

MONTREAL, (Canada). Oct. 18.
The Commander of the Forces has the deepest regret in
announcing to the army that Lieut. Rieffeustcn, Staff-Ad Staff-Adjutant,
jutant, Staff-Adjutant, arrived yesterday, and is the bearer of the follow,
ing unpleasant intelligence, that Major. Gen. Proctor
having sustained by the unfortunate capture of the Squa Squadron
dron Squadron on Lake Erie, the loss of a v?ry considerable pro.
portion of his military force, which was serving on board
that fleet, as well as the principal heavy ordnance necessa necessary
ry necessary for the defence of his military positions, commenced
his retreat from the post of Sandwich on the £4th Sept,
having previously dismantled the posts of Amheretburgh
and Detroit, and burnt and destroyed every public build building
ing building and stores of every description.
The retreating regular force consisted of a small detach,
ment of Royal Artillery, a troop of provincial dragoons,
and the remains of the 61st regiment, in allabout4so rank
and file, which was accompanied by a body of Indian war warriors,
riors, warriors, from 12 to 1500.
The enemy’s fleet and army appeared off Amherstburg
on the 25th Sept, and landed on the following day ; but
soon re-embarked their troops, and proceeded by Lake
St. Clair to the month of the Thames River. The Arne.

rican army was again landed, and, accompanied by gun gunboats,
boats, gunboats, followed the route of Major-Geu. Proctor's corps,
which, having been much retarded by the slovt progress
of his loaded batteaux, they were enabled to come up with
his rear guard and loaded boats on the 3d inst. and suc succeeded
ceeded succeeded in capturing the whole. Gen. Proctor being thus
deprived of the means of supporting bis little army, was
under the necessity of awaiting the enemy’s attack, which
took place at four o'clock on the evening of the sth inst.
near the Moravian village.
A six-pounder on the flank was, by some unpardonable
neglect, left destitute of ammunition; aud the enemy,
availing himself of this unfortunate circumstance, pressed
upon that part of the line, which, wanting the support
of artillery, was forced by superior numbers of the ene.
my. Major-Gen. Proctor exerted himself to rally the
troops, who, being exhausted with fatigue, not having
received any provisions on the preceding day, were unable
to make adequate exertion to resist the superior numbers
by which they were assailed.
The safety of Major-Gen. Proctor, the officers of his
personal Staff, and some few others, with about 50 men'
has only, as yet, been ascertained.—The Indian warriors
retreated towards Macheoash.
The enemy’s force employed on this service, is estimated
to be from 10 to 12,000 strong, including troops of every
description.

AT a MEETING of the British Inhabitants of th® Colony of Surinam: .1 Resolved— That the genet al poverty and distress w hich this Colony has been reduced by different circtnr. stances, and more particularly by the operation of the Commission for taking charge of Absentee Alien Proper, ties, rertder it highly expedient that some measure should be taken to obtain redress. That from the information conveyed to us, Mr. Bent, the Receiver and Administrator General, appears to have gone far beyond the intentions of His Majesty's Ministers, in the appointment of the said commission. That the measures he has thought proper to introduce, have established an almost complete monopoly in hands of himself and friends, of the commerce of the Colony. That several irferitorionsindividuals have been thereby driven to great loss, and deprived of the means of support, ing themselves and families. That confident this could not have been the intention of His Majesty’s Government, it becomes expedient for us, as British Subjects, to state our grievances in an humbk Petition.and Memorial. That the purport of the said memorial be, to so'icit th« recal of the commission; or that its powers and objects may be defined, and a proper check and controui establish, ed, and, at any rate, that the monopoly at present so hi. juriously erected, may be abo'i-hrd. That the petition now presented to us, be signed by us all, and that the inhabitants and colonists at large be ini it. ed to come forward in its support That the same be presented io His Excellency the Go. vernor, with a request to forward it, accompanied with every information requisite; and a duplicate forwarded to the Committee of Merchants in London, to be by them presented to Lprd Bathurst. That these resolutions be sent for Insertion to the Edi. tors of the Newspapers i i Surinam, Berbice, and Demera. ry, and in Barbados. Paramaribo, 20 th Nov. 1813. (Signed) J. Pnixsrp, Jun. J.

Fall of PAMPELUNA. and Defeat of Marshal Soult. Berbados Dec. 7. — liUi lliijenre to this effect was recciv. ed hereon Sunday last, by the schooner Ben Bovell, from Grenada, where it seems, a vessel had touched on her way from Barce'pna, in Spain, to one of the ports on the Alain, and had given an account that Marshal Soult, in attempt, ing to relieve the fortress of Pamjwkma, had been defeated by the Allies in a very sanguinary coinbat, in which the enemy suffered severely in kilhsl. wounded, and prisoners, and had also been deprived of the services of their Com. mander, Soult. Thu* foiled in their hopes of succour, and reduced to the utmost extremity, the French (Jarn. ton had been compelled to surrender Pampeluna toils be. siegers. Although this information had not been obtain, ed at Grenada in any off,rial shape, yet as there is much reason to snppo'c lint those events haverea-ly taken place, we submit it to our readers in the hope of its authenticity. A letter dated ti Trinid'id,2\st Nov. 1 ' lias been received by a Gentleman of this Tu»n, in which it is stated that the Insurgents on the Spanish Main have gained possession of Porto Cawllo and all'the strong positions in that quarter, Angustura being the only port now in the hands of the Royalists; and accounts had also been received at Tri. nidad, that the whole of the reinforcements which lead late, ly arrived from Spain, had been destroyed by the forces id the Insurgents.

Dispatches, of which the following are Copies, were this day received" by Earl Bathurst, from Lieut—Gen. Sir George Prevost, Bart. Head-quarters, Kingston, Upper Canada, e Aug. 8, 1813. My Lord, —I have the honour to acquaint your Lord, ship that the enemy’s fleet of twelve sail made its appear, tnce off York on the 31st ultimo: the three square-rigged Vessels, the Pike, Madison, and Oneida, came to anchor in the offing, but the schooners passed up the harbour aud l»nded several boats full of troops at the former garrison, an d proceeded from thence to the town, of which they ‘ took possession. The opened the gaol, liberated the pri. »oners, and took away three soldiers confined for felony: they then went to the hospitals and parolled the few men that could not.be removed ; they next entered the store, houses of some inhabitants, seized their contents, chiefly flour, the same being private property; between eleven and twelve o’clock that night they returned on board their vessels; the next morning, Sunday the Ist instant, the enemy again landed; and s*#»t three armed boats up the river Don, in search ot p tores, of which being disappointed, by sunset both /dfers and sailorshad evacuated the town, the small barntVk, wood.yardj and store-house, on Gibraltar Point, having been first set on fire by them ; and at dd the loss has altogether fallen upon individuals; the public stores of every description having been removed ; and the only pri. soners taking by them being confined felofis aud invalids in hospital. The troops which were lahded were acting as marines, and appeared to be about two hundred and fifty men ; they were under the command of Commodore Chauncey, and Lieut.-Colonel.Scott, an unexchanged prisoner of war on his parole, both of whom landed with the troops: the town, upon the arrival of the enemy, was totally defence, less, the militia were still on their parole, and the princi. pal Gentlemen had retired, from an apprehension of being treated with the same severity used towards several of the inhabitants near Fort George, who had been made prison, ers and sent to the United States : Lieut.. Col. Battersby, of the Glengarry fencibles, with'the detachment of light troops under his command, who had been stationed at York, was, upon the appearance of the enemy’s fleet off that place on the 29th ultimo, ordered, with his detach, ment and light artillery, to proceed for the protection of the depots formed on Burlington Heights, where hi had joined Major Maule’s detachment of the 104th regiment, and concentrated his force on the following evening. The enemy had, during the course of tiiat day, landed from the fleet five hundred men, near Brandt’s House, with an intention of storming the heights, but finding Major Maule well prepared to receive them, and being informed of Lieut . Col. Battersby’s march, they reim barked and stood away for York. My last accounts from Major.Gea. de Rottenburg are to the 3d instant, when the enemy’s fleet had anchored oti Niagara; I have received no tidings of our squadron under Sir James Yeo, since its sailing from hence on the 31st ultimo. I have the honour to be, &c. GEORGE PREVOST. Earl Bathurst, &c. &c. &c. Head-quarters, Kingston, Upper Canada, Aug. 8,1813. My Lord, —Referring to my dispatch of-the Ist inst. wherein 1 had the honour ot acquainting your Lordship that 1 had thought it expedient to endeavour to relieve Upper Canada from the pressure of the war, and to call the enemy’s attention to the defence*of their own settlemonts on Lake Champlain, by employing such naval of.
