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.

I COMPARATIVE STATEMENT
I OF THE PHYSICAL, ECONOMICAL, AND MORAL FORCES OF
napoleon, in the years 1812 and 1813.
January 1812.
1. Napoleon was in absolute possession of the French
Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, Illyria, and the Southern
• part of Spain.
2. He was undoubtedly master of the States of the Con
â–  federation of the Rhiue, of Prussia, of the Kingdom of
I Naples, and the Grand Duchy of Warsaw; he had pos possession
session possession of the fortresses on the Oder, and a limited alliance
with Denmark.
3. Austria dreaded his power ; her military system was
reduced; circumstances rendered her his ally • she con
seated to give him 30,000 men.
4. Russia kept her ports shut; she had 120,000 men
upon her frontier to preserve her independence, but she
was at war with England and the Porte, and soon after
with Swcdcp.
5. This latter power was in a state of neutrality with
r rance ; and Napoleon offered her subsidies to induce her
to declare herself for him.
6. Napoleon had an army of 500,000 veterans upon the
Oder and the Vistula to attack Russia:—this war drew
more than 600,000 out of his treasury, and 2000 pieces
fr ° m hiS arsenaJs * The Po’es supplied him
with 80,000 men, and 100 millions. He brought into
this war 70,000 cavalry. 5
7. Napoleon had in his owM hands the monopoly of
Colonial products throughout almost all Eurone* This
monopoly brought him in 100 lAliioiis. * ’

8. Napoleon drew contributions from Ansfria, f roi! j
Paris, and Horn Illyria. He had the Revenue of all Italy
from the confederacy of Germany, from Poland, and that
of the French Empire, which amounted to nearly iqq
millions. Notwithstanding those resources, lhe deficiency
Tor the year 1812 was doubled- , ’
j 9. Notwithstanding the battles of Aspern and Ejlau
Napoleon had preserved the reputation of being invincjl
ible : he enjoyed an opinion that nothing could resist him himis
is himis was sufficient-for him to order, end every thing g aV g
I way to his will—(o order and it was done—to direct,
jeiery thing bended to his wish; to announce an event
ami the prediction was fulfilled. Spain alone formed an
expection ; which* however, had not dissipated the belief
August, 1813,
1. Napoleon has lost « part of the 32d Military di T j
-ion, a part of Illyria, all Spain, and the
islands.
t 2. Prussia, Mecklenburg, and the Grand Ducliy o f
Warsaw, are now no longer his dependencies ; Prussia
iaud Mecklenburg are, on the contrary, in arms against him
I 3. Austria lias an a.-my of upwards of 400,000 men-
II he is no longer allied to France, but has acceded to
ik w alliance against her.
4. Russia lias beyond her frontiers 200,000 men • she
occupies the Grand Duchy of Warsaw; her ports are
open, she is united with England, Prussia, Sweden and
Spain ; she is at peace with Turkey, w'hich considerably
encreases her moral force, and it has been proved by facts
fiat she cannot be conquered.
5. Sweden having entered into the new war, (ornishes
more than 30,000 men, who are acting on the Continent
6 Those 500,0U0 veterans of Napoleon have disappear
■•d; he lias lost all his cavalry, several Marshals so
Generals: of this army only some thousands of Officers re.
main to him. The caflno ~ arm*, effects, and 6()0 millions
are lost, together with Prussians and Polish contingents.
He has only of the latter, 15,(XX) men, with the
jlions of the country.
7. That monopoly has almost entirely disappeared, since
the ports of Russia and Prussia have been opened, since
the war terminated bi twei u the Russians and Turks, and
the English occupied.the Dalmatian Islands.
8. 'I be Austrians, Polish, and Prussians contribution!
tave ceased. Illyria is exhausted. The war and army
xpt-uees have doubled. What then wilt be the d* licit for
â– tfte year 1813 : There no longer exists Continental SyL
item against England—it is, in fact, destroyed.
9. 1 he battles of Smolensk and Borodino, of Krc.twi;
of Lutzen, and all the last campaign, prove, that with >n.
i erior toices he can be resist* <1 and beaten ; and that, coa.
si-qucntiy , he must lie bcatcu with equal forces,- aud des.
jtroyed with superior ones.
From this comparative statement, it result! that Napr
jlcon’s pow er and glory have sensibly declined since tie
j ear 1812. His army had then, besides 110,000 auxtli.
arics, viz. 50,000 Pules, 30,000 Pre»suus, and 30,UK)
Austrians; his enemy now dias an auxiliary force of
330,(XX) viz. 20,C00 Swedes. His revenues havedccreas.
eJ l(x> millions; and tie diminution wiil be still much
greater, if we take into consideration what he drew by
Requisitions from Prussia, and the countries of the Confe.
delation of the Rhine, and the war contiibution of I’rus.
'ia, Poland, and Austria. There was no Alliance against
him except that of England and Spain ; no other Power
hat cou.d make war against him, none other than Russia
â–  which was able to resist him. A new alliance now sob.
Isists between four Powers, which are in a condition to
appose him with 500,(XX) combatants- -whole nations will,
ptiould it be necessary, be under arms. Napoleon so ful fulpy
py fulpy feels the ditliculue of resisting them, that he almost
abandons the Peninsula, which expose the Southent
Provinces oi I* rance to invasion. Hrs army is no longer
composed of veterans ; hiscavaky is no longer formidable,
nor the most warlike in Europe. Four fifths of his army
ire composed of young nu n, imperfectly disciplined,-and
torn from the arts and agriculture, which produces an
enormous deficiency in the total revenues of the States.
1 he allies, or rather the slaves of Napoleon, are no longer
able to furnish the conugcnts he had imposed on tnem.
Deprived oi the greater part of his former resources, be
no longer possesses either the means or the right of dictat dictating
ing dictating the conditions of peace. He will not be able to pro.
cure new States; he can only obtain it by sacrificing a
part of those he possesses, which will augment the relative
power of his opponents.-*—lf he continues the war, the
chances are against him—the loss r.f several States, which
he has already sustained, has not been Counterbalanced
oy auy new conquest. In losing 600,0C0 of his troops,
ue acquired new enemies, who will combat him with the'
same forces which have before supported his cause and
his interests. Six millions of Prussians, nineteen mill*
'â– ons of Austrians, and four millions of the Duchy of
Warsaw-—in all twenty-nine millions of men, who were wereunder
under wereunder his controul, or his allies, are now united
him.—The deficit in his finances , will augment without
measure, and force him to aggravate the state of constraint
and the sufferings of his subjects, which he can no longer
relieve by his foreign receipts.—All those consideration!
should have induced him to make peace; but it now re#
mains for the allies to conclude it on such a basis as will
render it solid and honourable. They Will augment their
physical and moral force; draw closer their reciprocalitics;
whilst he, directed by the same ambition, the same destruc.
tive objects, will be obliged to pay with his own finances,
those who serve him, and maintain at home an army which
will increase the malady which is undermining his gigantic
empire, and which will crush him finder its ruins.
EXTRACT FROM TtfE FRENCH PAPERS.
THE CROWN PRINCE OF SWEDEN.
Paris, OcL 14, 1813.—When Sweden, seeing order
established around her, and finding herself done without
the natural boundary of her policy, exposed to the sasters of a war, contrary to her interests, found the ne necessity
cessity necessity of rectifying her system, and giving a successor



a Prince whose tod weak arm could nd longer hear the
sceptre, or the sword of the great Gustavus, she consult consulted
ed consulted with the French Government. It was from among
French military men, who, upon the faith of fame, had
partaken of thtU immensity of glory, conquered by 20
years’ labour and success, that Sweden, to give an inviol inviolable
able inviolable pledge of attachment to her natural Ally, chose tin
Chief who was to preside over her new destinies —T he
Swedes must have supposed that a man who had had the
honor of fighting under the eyes of His Majesty the Em Emperor
peror Emperor of the French, who served his policy, and who owed
the Imperial generosity, his rank, his fortune, and hi:
consideration, would always remember his first country,
the favours with which he had been loaded, and that h<
would endeavour to consolidate the independence of his
people, by consulting their interests and their inclination,
which for two centuries had attached them to the system
of France. The choice of Sweden was a anguage which
was understood by all Europe, and those who only knew
the new Prince Royal by his military reputation, did not
for a moment doubt that he would follow-a route traced
out by his illustrious predecessors.-——Hut prudence even i>
deceived'in her calculations, when she does not take into
consideration private passions, the influence of which ra rarely
rely rarely gives way to that of reason. Persons who were in intimately
timately intimately acquinted with Charles John Bernadotte, had seen
him, during the Revolution, float without principle and
without compass, at the mercy of events, to flatter, serve,
betray in their turn, the factions which disputed for
power ; jealous of military talents which he despaired oi
equalling, uneasy in the midst of the re-establishment of
order, secretly tormented by ambitious desires, ungrate,
ful by character, and taking his vanity for elevation, and
his natural restlessness fdr genius, those persons, 1 say,
observed his proceeding with distrust, and were not long
in discovering that the hopes of Sweden bedeceivcd ; that
the new Prime Royal would -separate his interests from[
those of his people, and would only use his influence buri
for satisfying the avidity of his ambition.
Naturaly factions, the new Prince Royal soon gave
himself up to that faction which the.gold of England, and
the promises of Rusia, had for such a length of time sup supported
ported supported at the Court of Sweden, and of which, soinemem.
hers, landholders in Livonia, thought less of serving the
State, than to preserve their fortune, and augment the
expense of the Swedish nation, they persuaded the Prince
to abandon, to Russia, Finland, an integral part of the
kingdom, and to hold out in the conquest of Norway a
shamefid equivalent. Hence that demand of the cession
t>f Norway to the prejudice of Denmark. It is known,
that the French Government rejected that project with
indignation.’’—However, events pressed forward; our ar armies
mies armies conducted by the Emperor, penetrated into the hear!
of Russia. So long as fortune remained faithful to us, the
Prince Royal, although probably detached at heart from
former country and august benefactor, did not present
himself upon the field of battle. It was not because he
feared to spilt the blood of his < ountry men ; but that sort
of prudence which allies itself extremely well with ostent ostentations
ations ostentations speeches, that prevented him from appearing upon
the Continent. It was only when the irresistible fury off
the elements had overwhelmed the French army, that, en encouraged
couraged encouraged by the defection of Prussia, be more iutimatelj
connected himself with the euemi s of Franc?.
By what reasons can he justify this pioceeding?—How
will he excuse, hi esjlf of .4w i den for having thrown her
into a line of poll;-y, ivhich she cannot follow withoift
danger, and of sacrificing the bio >d of her people in a
cause which is foreign to them ? — Will the chimerical hope l ■
he entertains respiting Norway console the Swedish
nation for the real evils which it is obliged to suffer?
the cession of Gaudeloupe be a n’compencc for them ?|
But what Swede has not already felt that this cession with,
out guarantee is illusory, and that that cannot be ceded'
which has not been acquired a treaty, Bernadotte isj
perhaps, the only man in Sweden who has not seen, that
this offer of England was but an insult, and that the Brif.:
ish Ministry, accustomed to speculations of every kind.!
had not disdained to calculate how far the levity, or, not
to hesitate about a word, the igdoranc â–  of its new ally
Would extend.—Let him wa k npoa the Continent till his
hour has arrived ; let him walk escorted by the Kotze Kotzebues,
bues, Kotzebues, the Gentz, the Scljegelo, and all the contemptible
libellists paid the English Oligarchy but let him learn,
that he has been judged by his countrymen as he will be
judged by posterity ; let him know that the destinies ol
. France are unalterable, and that the efforts of her enemies
wil be wrecked before the valour of her armies, the pa patriotism
triotism patriotism of her citizens, and the energy of her Gov Government.

WHEREAS it has been duly represented to me, that e1
considerable number of the coloured and black Populatio;
of this colony, claiming exemption from Slavery, have clan,
destincly introduced themselves as Free, which not onh
tends to the general discredit of the respectable part u
that class ; but as several of them have no apparent mean;
of subsistance, it is to be feared they have recourse tv
secret illicit practices for a livelihood, w hich if not time timely
ly timely restrained, may in the end be subversive of good order.
It is therefore, that £ have deemed it expedient tq make.
and do hereby declare, the following Provisions :
“All and every one of the colored or black inhabitants
within this Settlement, claiming exemption from Slavery,
shall, without delay, and at the farthest, within ont
month, from the date hereof, exhibit or cause to be duly
exhibited unto His Honor the Fiscal, such proof of then;
Freedom as they may respectively be in possesion of abb;
to procure, or refir to. ,
“And further, hi case any one of the aforesaid colonretii
or black Inhabiants, remain in default, or omit to comply;
with the aforesaid Order, His Honor the Fiscal is directed
to cause him, her or them to be apprehended and lodged in
the colony Gaol, there to remain until my further Order,
with respect to them, as the exigency of their respective
characters or cases may seem to require.” 1
And in order that no plea, or excuse of ignorance;'
may be pretended of these presents, the same to be pub- 1

To all to whom these presents may or shall come ; Be if
Icnotch: ' I
W’tl ER EAS Representation has been made to us;
of the excessive hardship sustained by many indivi individuals,
duals, individuals, within this Government who are deprived of!
the services of their slaves, on their being surrender surrendered
ed surrendered t not only by the loss of such slaves without any re-i
muneration, bn! from being obliged to defray the
expences of their prosecution ami conviction'; ami
whereas we have taken into our consideration, that it
is both equitable and conducive to the public good j
that some compensation should in future be afforded!
to such Inhabitants o. this colony, as may be deprived
of the service’s of any slaves, in consequence of tli<
latter being sentenced to death, banishment or con-1
finement for life, on the public works of this colony, j
We have lb â– rclbre thought fit to enact, and it is
hereby enacted accordingly : That from and after
the day of the date ol these presents, every Planter
or other Inhabitant, who may in future be deprived
of any of his or her slaves, from their being scntenc-i
cd by us to capital punishment, banishment for life,
on the public works of this colony, shall be entitled
Io receive from the colonial funds, as a compensation 1 ;
for such loss, a sum equal to the value, to be put o osuch
such osuch slave or slaves, by appraisers to be appointed;
by us ? provided always, thalsuch appraisement shall
in uo instance exceed (he sum of twelve hundred guil-j
for a driver or head negroe or tradesman.
Ahd lastly we do enact as it is hereby enacted,
the expellees of prosecution and conviction be defray-!
ed at the cost of the colony, and not at that of tin !
individual; —which compensation and costs of pro-'
secution shall nevertheless not be made by the colony.;
sh mid it appear in the course of the trial of such
slave or slaves, that ill treatment or neglect on the
part, of their masters have had any share, in leading
them to the commission of the crimes, for which they
have been sentenced to suffer ; as in all such cases
shall in no wise be entitled to claim or receive any
compensation for the loss of such slave or slaves so
convicted.
Thus enacted in our ordinary sessions of the Court
of Policy and Criminal Justice of the colony Berbice,

As a consequence of this reciprocal guarantee the High Contracting Parties will constantly labour in concert on the measures which shall appear to them most proper for the maintenance of peace in Europe; and in case she States of either of them shall be menaced by an iuvation, they will employ their most effectual good offices for the protection thereof. Art. IV. As the good offices, however, which they promise each other, may not have the desired effect, their Imperial Majesties bind themselves henceforward to assist each other with a corps of 60,0p0 men, in the event of either of them being attacked. Art. V. This army shall be composed of 50,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. It shall be provided with a corps of field artillery, with ammunition, and every other necessary ; the whole proportioned to the number of troops above stipulated. The auxiliary army shall arrive at the fronti era of the power who shall be attacked or menaced by an invasion of his possessions, two months at the farthest as ter the requisition has made. > Art. VI. The auxiliary army shall be under the imme., diate command of the Commander in Chief of the army ol I the power requiring it; it shall be conducted by a GeI neral of its own, and employed in all the military opera< tions, according to the rules of war. The pay of thi i auxiliary army shall be at the charge of thepdwer requir. Il led; the rations and portions of provision®, forlge, as well as the quarters, shall be furnished by the powei ¦requiring, as soon as the auxiliary army shall have passed! Its own frontiers, and that on the same footing as the latter supplies or shall supply its ow u troops in the field anti j in quarters. , | Art. VII. The order and internal military economy ol j these troops shall solely depend on their own proper Chid The trophies and the booty which shall be taken from th< enemy, shall belong to the troops which shall have taken them. I Art. VIII. In the event that the stipulated succom shall be insufficient for that one of the two high contract-: ing parties’ who shall have been attacked, His Majesty th< i ¦Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia, am,! His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, reserve t. . themselves, to come to a mutual understanding, withotr j loss of time, on tfee furnishing of more considerable said according to the exigency of the case. Art. IX. Ihe high contracting parties reciprocally ’ promise each other, that in the event that either of the two shall be compelled to takeup arms, he will not condudi either peace or truce, without therein including his Ally, in order that the latter may not himself be attacked in re-1 seutment of the succour which he shall have furnished. Art. X. Orders shall be transmitted to the Ambassador¦ and Ministers of the high contracting parties at Foreign '[Courts, toafiordeach other reciprocally their good offices J [and to act in perfect concert in all occurrences in whichi ithe interests of their masters shall be involved. .Art. XL As the two high contracting parties, informing this treaty of amity and alliance purely defensive, hav< ¦ no o|her object but that of reciprocally guaranteeing tn. i erior toices he can be resist* <1 and beaten ; and that, coa. si-qucntiy , he must lie bcatcu with equal forces,aud des. jtroyed with superior ones. From this comparative statement, it result! that Napr jlcon’s pow er and glory have sensibly declined since tie j ear 1812. His army had then, besides 110,000 auxtli. arics, viz. 50,000 Pules, 30,000 Pre»suus, and 30,UK) Austrians; his enemy now dias an auxiliary force of 330,(XX) viz. 20,C00 Swedes. His revenues havedccreas. eJ l(x> millions; and tie diminution wiil be still much greater, if we take into consideration what he drew by Requisitions from Prussia, and the countries of the Confe. delation of the Rhine, and the war contiibution of I’rus. 'ia, Poland, and Austria. There was no Alliance against him except that of England and Spain ; no other Power hat cou.d make war against him, none other than Russia ¦ which was able to resist him. A new alliance now sob. Isists between four Powers, which are in a condition to appose him with 500,(XX) combatants-whole nations will, ptiould it be necessary, be under arms. Napoleon so fulpy feels the ditliculue of resisting them, that he almost abandons the Peninsula, which expose the Southent Provinces oi I* rance to invasion. Hrs army is no longer composed of veterans ; hiscavaky is no longer formidable, nor the most warlike in Europe. Four fifths of his army ire composed of young nu n, imperfectly disciplined,-and torn from the arts and agriculture, which produces an enormous deficiency in the total revenues of the States. 1 he allies, or rather the slaves of Napoleon, are no longer able to furnish the conugcnts he had imposed on tnem. Deprived oi the greater part of his former resources, be no longer possesses either the means or the right of dictating the conditions of peace. He will not be able to pro. cure new States; he can only obtain it by sacrificing a part of those he possesses, which will augment the relative power of his opponents.-*—lf he continues the war, the chances are against him—the loss r.f several States, which he has already sustained, has not been Counterbalanced oy auy new conquest. In losing 600,0C0 of his troops, ue acquired new enemies, who will combat him with the' same forces which have before supported his cause and his interests. Six millions of Prussians, nineteen mill* '¦ons of Austrians, and four millions of the Duchy of Warsaw-—in all twenty-nine millions of men, who wereunder his controul, or his allies, are now united him.—The deficit in his finances , will augment without measure, and force him to aggravate the state of constraint and the sufferings of his subjects, which he can no longer relieve by his foreign receipts.—All those consideration! should have induced him to make peace; but it now re# mains for the allies to conclude it on such a basis as will render it solid and honourable. They Will augment their physical and moral force; draw closer their reciprocalitics; whilst he, directed by the same ambition, the same destruc. tive objects, will be obliged to pay with his own finances, those who serve him, and maintain at home an army which will increase the malady which is undermining his gigantic empire, and which will crush him finder its ruins. EXTRACT FROM TtfE FRENCH PAPERS. THE CROWN PRINCE OF SWEDEN. Paris, OcL 14, 1813.—When Sweden, seeing order established around her, and finding herself done without the natural boundary of her policy, exposed to the
PAGE 3

a Prince whose tod weak arm could nd longer hear the sceptre, or the sword of the great Gustavus, she consulted with the French Government. It was from among French military men, who, upon the faith of fame, had partaken of thtU immensity of glory, conquered by 20 years’ labour and success, that Sweden, to give an inviolable pledge of attachment to her natural Ally, chose tin Chief who was to preside over her new destinies —T he Swedes must have supposed that a man who had had the honor of fighting under the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor of the French, who served his policy, and who owed the Imperial generosity, his rank, his fortune, and hi: consideration, would always remember his first country, the favours with which he had been loaded, and that h< would endeavour to consolidate the independence of his people, by consulting their interests and their inclination, which for two centuries had attached them to the system of France. The choice of Sweden was a anguage which was understood by all Europe, and those who only knew the new Prince Royal by his military reputation, did not for a moment doubt that he would follow-a route traced out by his illustrious predecessors.-——Hut prudence even i> deceived'in her calculations, when she does not take into consideration private passions, the influence of which rarely gives way to that of reason. Persons who were intimately acquinted with Charles John Bernadotte, had seen him, during the Revolution, float without principle and without compass, at the mercy of events, to flatter, serve, betray in their turn, the factions which disputed for power ; jealous of military talents which he despaired oi equalling, uneasy in the midst of the re-establishment of order, secretly tormented by ambitious desires, ungrate, ful by character, and taking his vanity for elevation, and his natural restlessness fdr genius, those persons, 1 say, observed his proceeding with distrust, and were not long in discovering that the hopes of Sweden bedeceivcd ; that the new Prime Royal would -separate his interests from[ those of his people, and would only use his influence buri for satisfying the avidity of his ambition. Naturaly factions, the new Prince Royal soon gave himself up to that faction which the.gold of England, and the promises of Rusia, had for such a length of time supported at the Court of Sweden, and of which, soinemem. hers, landholders in Livonia, thought less of serving the State, than to preserve their fortune, and augment the expense of the Swedish nation, they persuaded the Prince to abandon, to Russia, Finland, an integral part of the kingdom, and to hold out in the conquest of Norway a shamefid equivalent. Hence that demand of the cession t>f Norway to the prejudice of Denmark. It is known, that the French Government rejected that project with indignation.’’—However, events pressed forward; our armies conducted by the Emperor, penetrated into the hear! of Russia. So long as fortune remained faithful to us, the Prince Royal, although probably detached at heart from former country and august benefactor, did not present himself upon the field of battle. It was not because he feared to spilt the blood of his < ountry men ; but that sort of prudence which allies itself extremely well with ostentations speeches, that prevented him from appearing upon the Continent. It was only when the irresistible fury off the elements had overwhelmed the French army, that, encouraged by the defection of Prussia, be more iutimatelj connected himself with the euemi s of Franc?. By what reasons can he justify this pioceeding?—How will he excuse, hi esjlf of .4w i den for having thrown her into a line of poll;-y, ivhich she cannot follow withoift danger, and of sacrificing the bio >d of her people in a cause which is foreign to them ? — Will the chimerical hope l ¦ he entertains respiting Norway console the Swedish nation for the real evils which it is obliged to suffer? the cession of Gaudeloupe be a n’compencc for them ?| But what Swede has not already felt that this cession with, out guarantee is illusory, and that that cannot be ceded' which has not been acquired a treaty, Bernadotte isj perhaps, the only man in Sweden who has not seen, that this offer of England was but an insult, and that the Brif.: ish Ministry, accustomed to speculations of every kind.! had not disdained to calculate how far the levity, or, not to hesitate about a word, the igdoranc ¦ of its new ally Would extend.—Let him wa k npoa the Continent till his hour has arrived ; let him walk escorted by the Kotzebues, the Gentz, the Scljegelo, and all the contemptible libellists paid the English Oligarchy but let him learn, that he has been judged by his countrymen as he will be judged by posterity ; let him know that the destinies ol . France are unalterable, and that the efforts of her enemies wil be wrecked before the valour of her armies, the patriotism of her citizens, and the energy of her Government. MARSHAL'S OFFICE.
