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.

Dispatches, of which the so lowing are copies, have been
this day received from Lieut-Gen. the Hon. Sir Charles
William Stewart, K. B. and from Edward Thornton
Esq. >
Toplitz, Oct. 1, 1813.
Mx Lord,— The affair I mentioned in my dispatch, of

the 29th uit. near Altenburg, has turned out to be of mofo
importance than was at first imagined, and the Hetman
Piatow, with ius usual ability and gallantry,! has accoin.
plished a very brilliant exploit against a consiokrable body
of the enemy. - •
This corps Uas under the orders of Gen. Lelehre* De.
nouette, and contested of some French light cavalry, fo e
Polish uhlans of the guard, and a brigade of light dragoons
under the orders of Gen. Pilot. Generals Kebeiski and
Krutecks were also in command.
The force consisted of eight thousand cavalry and seven
hundred infantry, one squadron of Mamelukes, and a small
party of Tartars of the guard, under the orders of Col
Murot. The whole were attacked by Piatow, and conu
pletely put to the route.
Gen. Keist’iski is reported by the prisoners to havebeen
killed. Fifteen hundred prisoners, five guns, and forty I
officers (three of the staff), are the fruits of this victory.
The army has broken up from hence, and is in inoteinent
to the left. The corps of Gen. Count Wittgi nstein uas
yesterday at Kommatau, and that of Gru. Kleist neat
Brux.
The Austrians are marching upon Chemnitz. Thereisa
repo tfrom the enemy that Napoleon, attended by the King
of Saxony and family, set out for Leipsig upon the 28th
inst. the head.quarters are said to be removed there.

\ f Zerbst, Oct. 4. 1813.
Mv Lord, — T have to acquaint your Lord*
ship, that Gen. Pozzq di Lftrgo fcas received intelligence
from the head.quarters of thc&niies in Bohemia, under
date of the 21th ultimo, stating* that the corps of Gen.
Benuigsen, having joined the Grand Alniy, the Allied So Sovereigns
vereigns Sovereigns had come to the resolution of making a movtu
ment by tluir left from Bohemia and that this movement
should be executed on the Ist of the present month.
I his intelligence determined the Prince Royal to attempt
(he passage of the Elbe. The bridge at Rassiaw had been
a ready completed, while the works of the tetc de pont oh
the hit bank had been traced out, and were in a state of
progress Detachments of Swedish troops were in posses,
siou of Dessau, and the town of Acken, on the left bank
a little lower dow n the river, was fortifying, under the
direction of Count Woronzow, in such a manner as to
render it a place of considerable strength, while prepara,
lions were accelerated for constructing a bridge there.
lit the mean time, the enemy, who appear to have Kad
no id-a the passage of the Elbe, at Ackeu, sent strong
detachments of troops to occupy Dessau and the line of
the Mu Ida, and employed themselves in th tow ing up works,
as wed before that town, as in front of â– it Ross,an, w ith intent to impede the | assage there, and
to obstruct the movements of the army after the passage.
1 his gave occasion to skirmishes between the enemy and
the Swedish advanced guard, which was obliged to relin.
quish Dessau, and to retire to the neighbourhood of the
tete de pout at Rossiau, and indeed to the right bank of
river.
L nder these circumstances, the Prince Royal received
intelligence from Gen. Blucher, on the Ist inst. informing
His Royal Highness that he should, on that dajf, make
i movement with his whoe army on his right towards
llertzberg; that on the following day he should be at
Jessen ; on the 3d at Elster, and on the following day (to-*
day) would effect the passage of the Elbe at Elster, pro.
reeding up6vt Kemberg against the French corps stationed

. 1 he bridge at Acken had just been completed and yes yesterday,
terday, yesterday, to-day, or perhaps to-morrow, was each spoken
of as the probable day for passing the river.
Gen. Blucher crossed the Elbe at Elster yesterday with
some opposition, and attacked the entrenched village of
VVartenberg on the opposite bank, which he carried, after
an obstinate resistance, making himself master of sixteen
pieces of cannon. It is* understood that this victory,
which was carried against the corps commanded by Ber Bertrand,
trand, Bertrand, was not obtained without considerable loss parti particularly
cularly particularly among the troops commanded by Gen. d’Fork;
bu,t the particular!, have not yet been received.
The Prince Royal received this iutelligence yesterday
evening, while he was at Rosslau, or immediately on his •
return here, and took the resolution of crossing the whole
army to day over the Elbe, at Acken and at Russian, the
Russians at the former, and the Prussians and Swedes at
Rosslau, some what later or otherwise, according as it
should be understood whethei the French would make a
stand at Dessau. This however was not to be expected,
when once the passage of the Russians was completed at
Acken, pa-ticularly under the position of Gen. Blucher’s
army, and in effect it was learnt this morning, that the
trench had retired from Dessau, where consequently, I
learn that the head-quarters of the Prince Royal w ill be
established this evening. His Royal Highness left this
place about nine o’clock this morning.



Yesterday evening Mr. Adlcrerenlz, a son of the Gon.
and ail Aidc-dc-Camp of the I’iince Royal, returned here
from the Impcirial head quarters, to which he had been sent
after the battfc of DonuewStz. lie brings intelligence of
the actual of the grand army, as was projected,
on thed afwistant• and it was calculated that it would be
adranced as far as Chemnitz, on yesterday, the 3d.
I am as yet without defails of the affair of Gen. Blucher ;
but Baron de Wetterstedt has engaged me to detain this
until 1 shall receive a dispatch from him this
Fevening for M, de Rehausen, and he promised me, (for he
went to-day to Dessau] to transmit to me at the same time
the same particulars, if he should obtain them. 1 shall
keep this dispatch open for them.
We have indirect accounts of Gen. Czernitscheff hav having
ing having taken possession, with his corps of Cossacks, of the
whole city of Cassel, from which Jerome Bonaparte had
fled. But nothing has yet been received from himself.
I have the honour to be, &c.

According to reports received from Gen. Blucher, he
has been engaged with the fourth French corps, command commanded

The latter was strongly intrenched in a village between
Wartenberg and Bledin.
Gen. d’Yorck’s corps dislodged and overthrew the ene enemy,

IJ/s Excellency Lieut.-Gen. Sir Geo. Prevost, Rwonet,
Governor in Chief and Commander of the b'orces in
and over the it ovinces of Lower and Upper Canada,
S’C. To the Inhabitants of Lower Canada.
As the period is in all probability fast approaching,
when it is to be finally decided whether the arrogant ex expectations
pectations expectations of the enemy arc to be realised by his success successful
ful successful invasion of this Province, or whether he is to meet
with defeat and disgrace in theatteinpt, His Excellency the
Governor in Chief atul Commander of the Forces confi confidently
dently confidently appeals to the loyalty, courage, and patriotism of
His Majesty’s'subjectsof ail c asses in it, for their prompt
and cheerful acquiescence in whatever sacrifice the arduous
Conflict in which tiny are now engaged, may require of
them. Preserved as (his high favoured country has hither hitherto
to hitherto been from the calamities of war, by the exertions which
have been made for its protection, its inhabitants are hap happily
pily happily ignorant of those miseries which would unavoidably
result from an invasion of their territory, aud which have
already been so severely felt iir the sister Province.—The
•tern mandate of an insulting foe has not yet been heard
within our cottages, nor has his foot been permitted to
pollute our soil ; our plenteous harvests have every where
been gathered in security, and the industrious peasant has,
in the midst of his family, tranquilly enjoyed the fruits of
his honest labours.
To secure a continuance of blessings like these, and to
avert from yourselves and families the evils which are in inseparable
separable inseparable from an hostile invasion, you must be prepared
to manifest the most determined devotion in resisting it;
a ready submission to whatever hardships and privations
?t may expose you, and a firm resolution on'y to yield,
with your latest breath, your country to a foreign ruler.
To cherish and encourage such sentiments, which are
•lone worthy of a free people, His Excellency calls, in a
more particular manner, upon the Gentry of the Province,
to persevere in that noble example they arc now affording,
by the sacrifice of their private ease to the public good,
•nd by standing forth amongst the foremost ranks to meet
•nd to repel the advance of the enemy. Such conduct
cannot but inspire confidence amongst those whtf look up
to and depend upon them, and will not fail,, under the
blessing of Heaven, aided by the brave people whom they
command, and seconded by the valour and discipline of
His Majesty’s regular troops and embodied militia, to
lead to a successful aud honourable termination of the pre present
sent present contest.
As a further incentive to your most strenuous efforts,

in order to produ as a result, His Excellency
would direct your t n towards the momentous con conflict
flict conflict in which the AF. Country has been so long en-
gaged, to the profusio. blood which she has sustained,
and to the important fruits of them—the emancipation of
kingdoms from the iron grasp of a powerful and inveterate
enemy.—He would again point your view to her, whilst
thus straining qvery nerve for the independence of other
nations, still not unmindful of her children and her sub subjects
jects subjects in this distant though valuable part of her dominions;
but amidst the great concerns with which she is surround surrounded,
ed, surrounded, and the vast demands which art made upon her during
such a contest, still manifesting her undiminished anxiety
for your welfare, and outstretching her powerful arm for
your protection. Already are her fleets conveying fresh
reinforce.ments of troops upon your coasts, all of them
eager to share with their brethren in arms, thehonour aud
glory of defending the Canadas.
With such support in your favour, and With such
strong incentives for a vigorous use of the means which
Providence, in its mercy, has vouchsafed to you for your
defence, will it not depend upon yourselves whether you
are to be conquered? The history of the world abundant abundantly
ly abundantly proves, that an united nation cannot easily be overcome.
If, therefore, you are true to each other; —if you are on only
ly only solicitous who shall best discharge his duty to his God
and to his King, by devoting himself to the defence of his
Religion and his Country ; —if with one heart and soul
you cheerfully and promptly unite for their preservation
—you need not fear what hosts may be opposed to you.
I’he breasts of such a people will raise the most formidable
as well as the most successful raid parts against the attempts
of any enemy tp subdue them.
Given under my hand and seal at arms, at Montreal,
this 18th day of October in the year of our Lord,

AT • MEETING of the British Inhabitants of the
Colony of Surinam:
Rt solved —That the general poverty and distress to
which this Colony has been reduced by different circum circumstances,
stances, circumstances, and more particularly by the operation of the
Commission for taking charge of Absentee Alien Proper-,
ties, render 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 meritorious individuals have been thereby
driven to great loss, and deprived of the means of support supporting
ing supporting 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 humble
Petition and Memorial.
That the purport of the said memorial be, to solicit the
recal of the commission; or that its powers and objects
may be defined, and a proper check and controul establish established,
ed, established, and, at any rate, that the monopoly at present so in injuriously
juriously injuriously erected, may be abolished. .
That the petition now presented to us, be signed by us
all, and that the inhabitants and colonists at large be invit invited
ed invited to come forward in its support
That the same be presented to His Excellency the Go Governor,
vernor, Governor, with a request to forward it, accompanied with
every information requisite; and a duplicate forwarded to
the Committee of Merchants in Loudon, to be by them
presented to Lord Bathurst.
That these resolutions be sent for insertion to the Edi Editors

Fifteen hundred prisoners, five guns, and forty I officers (three of the staff), are the fruits of this victory. The army has broken up from hence, and is in inoteinent to the left. The corps of Gen.
