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.

nely clannely introduced themselves as Free, which not onlj
s to the general discredit of the respectable pait oi
class ; but as several of them have no apparent means
übsistance, it is to be feared they have recourse to
?t illicit practices for a livelihood, which it not titne-
may in the end be subversive of good order.
therefore, that 1 have deemed it expedient to make,
do hereby declare, the following Provisions :
X JI and every one of the colored or black Inhabitant

not only by lhe loss of_sucii slaves without any r<.-|
numeration, but from Geing obliged to defray the

whereas we have taken into our consideration, that it
is both equitable and conducive to the public good
that some compensation should in future be afforded
to such Inhabitants of t hiscolony, as may be deprived
of the service’s of any slaves, in consequence of the

on the public- works of this colon y, shall be entitled
to receive from the colonial funds, as a compensation
for such loss, a sum equal to lhe value, t<> be put on

I by us, provided always, that such ai pr dsement shall
1 in no instance exceed the sum ders builders for a field working negroe, and lit’ecu hundred

And lastly we do enact as it is hereby enacted, that
the ex peaces of prosecution and conviction be defray defrayed
ed defrayed at the cost of the colony, and not at that of the

should it appear in the course of the trial of such

I them to the commission of the crimes, for which they
I have been sentenced to suffer; as in all such cases

compensation for the loss of such slave or slaves so
convicted.

him. It is William the first, who as Sovereign Prince bj ;
the wish of the Netherlands, appear as Sovereign anion..'
that people, which once before has been delivered by an.
other William the first from the slavery of a disgraceful
foreign despotism. Your civil liberty shall be secund bj

better founded t-han ever. —But the external occurrences,
the changes among nations, whose political Government
have partly been tha occasion, thecause of the wonderfu
events, at which Europe for a while was astonished, shall
likewise be kept in balance by a similar arrangement: it
requires but a few more sacrifices, and the name of Hol Holland

the Netherlands again seen Hying on all seas. The great

the first is Sovereign Prince of the free Netherlands.

French Barbarity and Tyranny!
HOLLAND.
Woerden, Nov. 30. — French Barbarity!—The
truth of the following narrative may be depended on : — ’
“Wednesday lite 21th instant, was certainly the most;
JiCilful day ever known in this town, and vfhich has been|
productive of general sorrow and extreme misery. On the!
preceding evening, about 250 men of the national guards’
from the Hague, with tw o pieces of cannon, appearedbe appearedbetore
tore appearedbetore this town, and demanded of the French Commandant,!
who had possession of it with about2s men of his own na-!
lion, to surrender it. This was complin! with, and on the

Rowing morning, being the 24th of November, this new
!{gan-Lon was unexpectedly surprised by a very numerous
body of French troops from Utrecht, provided with some
pieces of artillery, and after a smait skirmish, in which
some men fell on both sides, taken by storm. Nowcom Nowcom|
| Nowcom| meneed the dreadful plunderings, devastation, and inhu inhumian

’!account of the doors and windows having been fastened,
were beaten open by artillery : cabinets, chests, and boxes,

at length penetrated into every habitation ; the blood of
the most virtuous husbands and fathers, of the best mo mothers,
thers, mothers, of grey-haired ancients, of tender infants, stained
(he walls of their peaceful habitations, and streamed out
of the houses along the streets. Four-arid-twenty inha inhabitants
bitants inhabitants of this little town, which had already suffered by
the barbarians, were crually murdered without any rea reason
son reason given for such proceedings. About fifty others were
wounded, more or less severely, several of whom must cer certainly
tainly certainly die of their wounds. Not even the ministers of any
religion were spared, although they had fled to the alter.
Old men of upwards of eighty years, and infants in their
mothers’ arms, were immediately shot or slain by the
sword. A woman in child bed, and who would have been
delivered of twins, was deliberately shot through her bo body,
dy, body, whilst lying in bed, after having uncovered her, and
the bedstead set on fire, after miserably murdering the
mother and her offspring. No tears of the poor creatures
begging for mercy, no cries of kneeling children, could
soften the hearts of these miscreants; who, on the con contrary,
trary, contrary, and with loud laughter and derision, disgraceful to
humanity, carried their cruelties so far, as to commit their
murders before the eyes of the nearest relations, throwing
out the bleeding bodies, covered with dirt, in presence of
the despairing widows-and shrieking children; and com committing
mitting committing ail abuses on the .naked corpses.—lt is impossible

io give any’ particular statement of the atrocities and cruel-
I ties committed, in this slight description ; the pen refuse;
and modesty forbids to describe all the enormities of these
cannibals, who have rendered the former French tyranny a
mere pastime. Langour and mortal dread are to be read
in every countenance. At the first meeting, people of all
ranks embrace each other, wondering to meet again alive.
The bloody streets, the broken buildings, the furniture
destroyed,’from a picture from which every human being
must start with horror. Those who formerly' dispensed to
others, are now themselves in want of the first necessaries
of life, and cast their longing eyes to their fellow Nether Netherlands,

ed preserved from these executioners. They remained here till they
uad carried off their bloody booty with stolen horses and
carriages, and then, like monsters, w ho shun the light x>f
day, left the town in silence like thieves, in the night of
the 27th, leaving nothing behind them but blood and tears.
God preserve the Netherlands in future from such mise miseries,

without assistance from others; nor even then until the
irreparable loss of dear relationsand valuable friends shall

thanks you for it in the name of the French people.—lt

themselves.—No, the enemy shall not tear asunder this
beautiful and noble France, which for these fourteen cen-i
furies has maintained itself with glory through such diver diversities,
sities, diversities, of fortune; and which, for the interest of the neigh neighbouring
bouring neighbouring nations themselves, can always throw a consider considerable
able considerable weight into the balance of Europe.—We have for
pledges your heroic firmness, and the national honor.—
We will fight for our dear country, between the tombs of
our lathers, and the cradles of our infants.—Sire, obtain
peace by a last effort worthy of yourself, and of the
French; and letyour hand, so often victorious, drop your
arms, after having signed the repose of the world.— Tins,
Sire, is the wish of France; the wish of the Senate, this is

Frank., Major-Generals Barnes, Robinson, and Ashworth, an among the wounded. The number of British and Portugusc rank and tile who have been killed in the several actions, is 572, and wounded about 3000. The French never repeated their attempt against tin light Division, but they twice attacked the posts of tin left wing, though more feebly, in the course of the two following days. The enemy was completely replused on| each occasion ; and the foot Guards distinguished them-; selves in the last attempt. The civ my now withdrew nearly his whole force from his right, and on the morning of the 13th, commenced a fort regiments camcover from the enemy. desperate attack upon Sir Rowland Hill, who had taken' a position between the Adour ami the Nive. Foreseeing the attempt, Lord Willington had ordered, the fourth and sixth divisions, and part of the third, to reinforce Sir Rowland—but the Lieutenant General sue-! cceded in defeating the enemy with immense loss, before these troops could join him. Major-General Barnes (British) and Brigadier Genera' Ashworth’s (Portuguese) sustained the severest part of tin conflict, and conducted themselves admirably. The enemy being beaten at all points, now retreated into their iutranchtnent.*. Lord Willington speaks in the highest terms of the con. duct of Lieut.-General John Ho.e, and Sir Rowland Hill ' in the different actions. Lieut.-General Sir William Ste-' wart, and Major-Generals Howard, Barnes, Pringle,' Robinson, and Byng, are also mentioned with great praise., HOLLAND.

KEMPER, “FANNIUS SCHOLTEN.” Amsterdam, Dec. 3.—The following was issued this worninj,, in the name of William Frederick, Prince of Orange and Nassau: — “My feelings, upon my entrance this day' into this ca. pital, are inexpressible. Restored to the people whom I never ceased to bear remembrance, I behold myself after 19 years absence, as a Father in the midst of his Family. •‘Never, Netherlands, shall my reception in Holland—never shall my entrance into Amsterdam, be effaced from niy memory ; and by your love I promise you, you shall not find yourselves deceived. It is your wish; Netherlands, that I staud in a higher relation towards you, than I should have stood in had Iberer been absent.—Your confidence, your love, places'the sovereignty in my hands,! and I am urged on all sides to assume it, in as much as the necessity of the country, and the situation of Europe, require that I should do so. “Beit so. I shall sacrifice my own opinions to your wishes; 1 undertake what the Netherlands offer me ; but 1 undertake it alone under the guarantee of a wise Consti. tution, which shall secure your freedom against all possible future abuses; I uudertakq it, under the full impression of the duties which this acceptance imposes upon me. —My ancestors gave birth to your independance. Tin maintenance thereof shall be the incessant task of me ami iqy posterity. “I rely jn the present circumstances, .still somewhat critical, upon your co-operation and sacrifices ; and after i short period of exertion, under God’s assistance, no foreigner shall any longer be able, upon your own territory, to resist the ardour of the renovated natidh, and the triumphant arms of our Allies. “Done at the Council House at Amsterdam, this 2nd day of December, 1813.

Gth: — 'I “When, on the 2d instant, we accepted at Amsterdam, pthc sovereignty over the United Netherlands, in consequence of the universally expressed wish of the people, ve greaVy wished to confirm and crown by a solemn installation, that event, w hich binds us, our children, and descendants, more strongly than ever to the fate of this nation. But the circumstances in which our country is placed, and the important occupations caused thereby, have made us deem it expedient to reserve for the present the fixing of the time when that ceremony shall lake place, in the pleasing expectation that in the course of a few I weeks we shall be able to announce to the nation, and alIso to submit to our beloved fellow-countrymen, a constitution, which nndor a monarchist form, they themselve* have chosen ; may secure to them their morals, their personal rights and privileges—in one wovd, their ancient i freedom. In the mean time we cannot longer delay taking ! the reins of government into our own hands, and charging I ourselves with the immediate directions of the affairs oftht i State.—Wp therefore now declare, that the hitherto subsisting general government of the United . Netherlands is : this day dissolved, and that henceforward no one can or may make any order or regulation of binding force, but lin as far as it has emanated from us, or Magistrates ap-j pointed and commissioned by us.” The Dutch ships of war that were lying in (he Texel.l consisting of the following, besides a few others, thenaiqe; of which arc not stated, are now in possession of the Dutch.; —Commerce of Amsterdam, 90 guns ; Admiral Zoutman,’ 'SO; Brabau(, 76; John de Witt, 09; Doggerbank, 69; Venus, 36. TO THE WORLD ! \ French Barbarity and Tyranny! HOLLAND. Woerden, Nov. 30. — French Barbarity!—The truth of the following narrative may be depended on : — ’ “Wednesday lite 21th instant, was certainly the most; JiCilful day ever known in this town, and vfhich has been| productive of general sorrow and extreme misery. On the! preceding evening, about 250 men of the national guards’ from the Hague, with tw o pieces of cannon, appearedbetore this town, and demanded of the French Commandant,! who had possession of it with about2s men of his own na-! lion, to surrender it. This was complin! with, and on the •veiling the town received its new garrison. On 1 (he fol. Rowing morning, being the 24th of November, this new !{gan-Lon was unexpectedly surprised by a very numerous body of French troops from Utrecht, provided with some pieces of artillery, and after a smait skirmish, in which some men fell on both sides, taken by storm. Nowcom| meneed the dreadful plunderings, devastation, and inhumian murders. The houses w Licit could not be opened on ’!account of the doors and windows having been fastened, were beaten open by artillery : cabinets, chests, and boxes, I 'vcre cut and broken open ; the ready money, uncoined ;gold and silver, jewels, linen-, and clothing, stolen; vauable papers destroyed; glasses, china, and other earthenware, broken, and thrown into the streets! the pool inhabitants, already frightened-almost to death, a’’ i begging for their lives, w ere forced to discover where they had •ecreted their other valuables. —Death aiqj destruction had at length penetrated into every habitation ; the blood of the most virtuous husbands and fathers, of the best mothers, of grey-haired ancients, of tender infants, stained (he walls of their peaceful habitations, and streamed out of the houses along the streets. Four-arid-twenty inhabitants of this little town, which had already suffered by the barbarians, were crually murdered without any reason given for such proceedings. About fifty others were wounded, more or less severely, several of whom must certainly die of their wounds. Not even the ministers of any religion were spared, although they had fled to the alter. Old men of upwards of eighty years, and infants in their mothers’ arms, were immediately shot or slain by the sword. A woman in child bed, and who would have been delivered of twins, was deliberately shot through her body, whilst lying in bed, after having uncovered her, and the bedstead set on fire, after miserably murdering the mother and her offspring. No tears of the poor creatures begging for mercy, no cries of kneeling children, could soften the hearts of these miscreants; who, on the contrary, and with loud laughter and derision, disgraceful to humanity, carried their cruelties so far, as to commit their murders before the eyes of the nearest relations, throwing out the bleeding bodies, covered with dirt, in presence of the despairing widows-and shrieking children; and committing ail abuses on the .naked corpses.—lt is impossible io give any’ particular statement of the atrocities and cruelI ties committed, in this slight description ; the pen refuse; and modesty forbids to describe all the enormities of these cannibals, who have rendered the former French tyranny a mere pastime. Langour and mortal dread are to be read in every countenance. At the first meeting, people of all ranks embrace each other, wondering to meet again alive. The bloody streets, the broken buildings, the furniture destroyed,’from a picture from which every human being must start with horror. Those who formerly' dispensed to others, are now themselves in want of the first necessaries of life, and cast their longing eyes to their fellow Netherlands, who, by the Divine Providence, have been preserved from these executioners. They remained here till they uad carried off their bloody booty with stolen horses and carriages, and then, like monsters, w ho shun the light x>f day, left the town in silence like thieves, in the night of the 27th, leaving nothing behind them but blood and tears. God preserve the Netherlands in future from such miseries, and still the hearts of all benevolent people with feelings of due humanity towards these unfortunate creatures, ind with gratitude for not having partaken of their dreadful sufferings, so as to contribute as mtich as possible, to restoring their losses, which they themselves never can do without assistance from others; nor even then until the irreparable loss of dear relationsand valuable friends shall nave been alleviated by religion and time. Subscriptions are opened at Rotterdam for the relief of the sufferers at Wocrden.” Bremen, Dec 16.—The army of the Grand Artillery, Von Hiller, is to be strengthened by 60,000 Russians* The Erench are fortifying Geneva and Besancbn, a cer*ain proof that they no longer consider Switzerland as a protection for their southern departments. By the Ist of January all the contingents of the Princes formerly belonging to the Confederacy of the Rhine, but who, as is known have all joined the great German Confederation must leave the Rhine, and as they are making as great and extraordinary exertions as Russia did before, the amount of the troops, the late Confederation of the Rhine, which Will by that be complete, will amount to 360,000 men ; to which, if we add the considerable armies of Rus. >ia, Austria, Prussia, and Sweden, we shall not over-rate »ur calculation in affirming that at the commencement of ihe year 1814, 800,000 valiant and disciplined warriors will be in readiness to conquer the peace of the world. The territory of Holstein is now entirely occupied by the Allies. The Danes retired behind the Eider, and possess only the town Rendsburg, on ihe canal of Holstein. Fhe surrender of Zamosc is confirmed by official accounts received to-day. Negotiations have also been entered into for the surrender of Modlin, which is the last town still in the enemy’s hads upon the Vestula. FRANCE. Paris, Dec. 30.—T0-day, Thursday Dec. 30 at two o’clock, His Majesty the Emperor and King being seated on his Throne, surrounded by the Princes, Grand Dignitaries, the Ministers, &c. received the Senate in a body, when Uis Excellency Count Lacepede, the President, presented to His Majesty the following Address:— “Sire—The Senate come to offer to your Imperial Majesty the tribute of its attachment and gratitude for the last communication which it has received by the medium of its Committee. Y our Majesty adheres to the’ proposals even of your enemies, which have been transmitted by one of you. Ministers in Germany. What stronger pledge could you give of your sincere desire of peace?—Your Majesty certainly believes, that power is strengthened by being limited, and that the act of favouring the happiness of me people is the chief policy of Kings. The Senate thanks you for it in the name of the French people.—lt is also in the'name of this same people, that we thank you tor all the legitimate means of defence which your wisdom may fake to ensure peace.—The enemy has invaded our territory. The French, united in sentiment under a Chief like you, will not sutler their energy .to be cast down.— Empires, like individuals, have their* days of mourning and prosperity ; it is in great exigencies that great nations show themselves.—No, the enemy shall not tear asunder this beautiful and noble France, which for these fourteen cen-i furies has maintained itself with glory through such diversities, of fortune; and which, for the interest of the neighbouring nations themselves, can always throw a considerable weight into the balance of Europe.—We have for pledges your heroic firmness, and the national honor.— We will fight for our dear country, between the tombs of our lathers, and the cradles of our infants.—Sire, obtain peace by a last effort worthy of yourself, and of the French; and letyour hand, so often victorious, drop your arms, after having signed the repose of the world.— Tins, Sire, is the wish of France; the wish of the Senate, this is the wish and want of the human race.” His Majesty replied—“l am sensible to the sentiments which you express tow ward me.—Y’ou have seen by the documents which I have caused to be laid before you what I do for the sake of peace. J will make, without regret, the sacrifices implied by the preliminary basis which the enemy has* proposed, and which I have accepted ; my life has but one object the happiness of the French.—Meantime, Bearn, Alsace, Franche Comte, are. invaded. The cries of these parts of my family rend my heart* I call upon the French tb Succour the French. 1 call upon the French of Paris, of Normandy, of Cam pagtie, and of the other departments, to the succour of their brethren. Shall we forsake them in their distress ? Peace, and the deliverance of our territory, out to be dur rallying cry. At the sight of all this nation in arms, the enemy will fly, or will sign peace on the basis which he himself proposed.——The question is now no more, to recover the conquests we have made.” The United States’ ship of war Constitution,is stated to have chased the Musquito brig of war in(o Suriname a few days ago. On this intelligence reaching Barbados, His Majesty’s ships Queen and Venerable were dispatch, cd in quest of the enemy.
