- 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.

WHEREAS it has been duly represented to me, that a
tonsiderable number of the coloured and black Population
of this colony, claiming exemption from Slavery, have clan,
destincly .introduced themselves as Free, which not only
tends to the general discredit of the respectable part of
that class ; but as several of them have no apparent means
of subsistance, it is to be feared they have recourse to
secret illicit* practices for a livelihood, which if not time timely
ly timely restrained, may in the end be subversive of good order.
It is therefore, that 1 have deemed it expedient to make,
and do hereby declare, the following Provisions :
“Ail and every one of the colored or black Inhabitants
within this Settlement, claiming exemption from Slavery,
shall, without delay, and at the farthest, within one
month, from the date hereof, exhibit or cause to be duly
exhibited unto His Honor the Fiscal, such proof of their
Freedom as they may respectively be in possesion of able
to procure, or refer to.
“And further, in case any one of the aforesaid coloured
or black Inhabiants, remain in default, or omit to comply
with the aforesaid Order, His Honor the Fiscal is directed
to cause him, her orthem 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.â€
And in order that no plea, or excuse of ignorance
may be pretended of these presents, the same to be pub published

. ' NEW BRUNSWICK.
Fredericton, January 11, 1814.
His Honor the President came to the Council
Chamber and opened the Session of the General
Assembly, with the following Speech :—
Gentlemen of the Council, and Gentlemen of the
Assembly,
As no change of importance in the condition of this
Province has occurred since your last meeting in General
Assembly, the principal object which I have to recoin,
mend to your present deliberation are the necessary provi.
sions of the Revenue and appropriation for the ensuing
period, and a review of the Militia Law, which may per.
haps, by some amendments, be rendered more efficient for
the essential purposes of defence, for which we are so
loudly calk'd upon to be in a constant state of preparation.
The Royal approbation of the Act passed with a sus.
pending clause in the last Session, “for the further in increase
crease increase of the Revenue of this Province,†has already been
publicly notified. A copy of the Order of His Royal
Bigness the Prince Regent in Council, made fur this gra.
cions purpose in the name and on the behalf of His Ma.
jesty, shall be laid before you.
Such other subjects as 1 may have to propose for your
consideration shall in the course of the Session be Coiumu.
nicated by Message.
Gentlemen of the Assembly,
I have directed the Treasurer’s Accounts and such other
documents as may be requisite for your further information
to be laid before you ; from the state as the Treasury, 1
am happy to find the Revenue has in the last been more
productive than in any former year.
Gentlemen of the Council and Gentlemen of the
Assembly,
While we lament the infatuation by which the Govern,
merit of the United States has been led to take a course so
directly the reverse which every free people in a similar
situation ought to have pursued, we have'reason to hope
this frenzy will not be of long duration, it broke out in a
declaration of war against His Majesty, at a time when
the sanguinary usurper of France had become more than
ever formidable iu Europe, and his lust of universal domi.
nion appeared to be no longer considered as 4 hopeless and
romantic passion; in that moment the unnatural ambition
of his American partizans was fired with a hope of shar.
ing in his expected triumph over that country which alone
continued with effect to resist his destructive career, the
country from which they were themselves descended; but
a merciful Providence has since opened a prospect which
may well animate the courage and the hopes of suffering
nations; the glorious successes which have crowned the
arms of His Majesty and of his reviving in Europe
and the disappointed efforts oi an unprovoked hostility in
America, may with reason be considered as pledges of a
aconsumatiuii devoutly to be wished†in which the wise
and good of every country wil rejoice to see a general res.
toration of peace in the horrors of revolution, oppres.
sion, and desolution.
In the mean time, whatever may be the course of ap.
preaching events, it will be most sincerely may ambition
to contribute,, hy every means in my power, to the secu security
rity security and prosperity of the Province committed to my ad.
ministration.
To His Honor Major-Gen. Sir Thomas Saumarez,
President and Commander in Chief of the Province
ot New Brunswick, &c. &c. &c.
The humble Address to His Majesty’s Council in General
Assembly.
Sir —We thank yonr Honor for your Speech at the
opening of this Sessiort, and we shall, with zeal and ala.
crity, pay every attention to the objects therein recom recommended,
mended, recommended, and to such others as you may have to propose
our deliberation. In particulare, we shall be happy to
contribute our best endeavours to render our Militia Law
more efficient for the essential purposes of defence, for
which we are so loudly called upon to be in a constant
state of preparation.
We consider the Royal approbation of the Act, passed
with a suspending clause in the last session, “for the fur.
ther increase of the Revenue of this'Province,†as a fresh
instance of paternal favor to this Loyal Colojny.
We fully participate in the sentiment expressed by your
Honor, respecting the hostile course into which the Go Government
vernment Government of the U. S. has been led, bo directly the reverse
of that whicb-every free people, in a similar situation, ought
to have pursued at the time when the sanguinary usurper
of France had become more than ever formidable in/Eua
rope, and his lust of universal dominion appeared to be no
longer considered as a hopeites and romantic passion. And
however extravagant his own anticipation may have been
of homagcand submission in other countries, he must him.
self have been surprised to find partizans in America, who
could by any motive be induced to aid him in his destruc.
tive career. Yet the world has seen, and must have seen
with astonishment, that, in that moment, the unnatural
ambition of a prevailing party in America has been fired
with a hope of sharing iu his fondly expected triumph over
that country which then continued alone with effect tore,
sist the Enemy of Mankind—the Country from which th y
were themselves descended ! but we join with your Ho.
nor in the hope that this frenzy will not be of long dura duration,
tion, duration, and in a due acknowledgment of that merciful Pro.
vidcnce which has since opened a prospect so consoling to
the wise and good of every country, who will gladly hail
•the gloriou successes w hich have crowned the arms of
His Majesty, and of his reviving Allies in Europe, and the
disappointed efforts of unprovoked hostility in America,
as pledges of a consummation devoutly to be wished, result,
ing in a general restoration of peace and independence to
Nations which have So long suffered the horrors of
revolution, oppression, and desolation.
In this cheering hope we are also happy in the fullest con.
fidence that nothing in your Honor’s power will be want,
ing to the security and prosperity of the Province commit,
ted to your administration.
Answer of His Honor the President to the Address
of the Council.
Gentlemen of the Council,
I sincerely thank you for.this Address, and anticipate
with much satisfaction the result to be expected from your
well known zeal and ability in the discharge-of the duties
of that important station, to which His Majesty has ap appointed
pointed appointed you in this Province.
To His Honor Major-Gen. Sir Thomas Saumarez,
President and Commander in Chief of the Province
of New Brunswick, &c. &c. &c.-
The humble Address of the House of Assembly.
May it please your Honor,
The House of Assembly truly sensible of the importance
of those principal objects recommended by yonr Honor Honor“the
“the Honor“the Revenue and appropriation fur the ensuing period,â€
and “a revisal of the Militia Law,†will make them the
subjects of their most serious deliberation.
His Majesty’s Royal approbation of the Act of the last
Session, “for the further increase of the Revenue of this
Province,†and the order of His Royal Highness the
Prince Regent thereon, are communications from your
Honor highly gratifying to the House, ever ambitious to
obtain JI is Majesty’s approbation.
Ihe House also beg leave to assure your Honor, of
their due and faithful attention as well to such other sub subjects
jects subjects as shall he proposed by your Honor for their consi consideration

counts, Accounts, and all other papers and documents which your
Honor may direct tube laid before them ; and they derive
iiigh satisfaction from your Honor’s communication of the
improved state of the Revenue during the year past.
The folly and ingratitude of the United States in the
prosecution of the present war against Great Britain, and
ihe unworthy motives (so correctly detailed by your
Honor) which have led hi the unnatural devotion of their
powers, in support of sanguinary usurper, against that
Country whic'i'gavc birth to their ancestors, and protec protection
tion protection to themselves, must consign them among nations to
obloquy and contempt, and the House unite with your
Honor in ascribing to the interference of a merciful Pro Providence

REDUCTION OF FRANCE WITHIN .HER ANCIENT LIMITS.
In the endless multiplicity of accounts which pour up upon
on upon us on all sides, every day and hour bringing its porti- •
on of additional happy intelligence, it is scarcely pos possible
sible possible for a political writer to make any due scfection of
suitable objects of preference; he becomes confounded in
the midst of thcsplcndid materials before him, and scarce scarcely
ly scarcely takes up one of the fragments which compose the bril brilliant
liant brilliant heap, before his eye is caught by the rival splendour
of another, and he is fearful of being accused of injustice
to one whilst he is wrapt up in attention to the other.—
There is no point of the compass, no ray in the circle of
the Heavens, to which he can now look, without seeing— seeingnot
not seeingnot the dawning, but the brightening day of restored re religion,
ligion, religion, civil order, and true liberty. —Evety wind that •
blows from every point comes freighted with some new
K and seems to deposit some new blessing at his feet.
K is truly unworthy of the name of an Englishman, and
Kost of a man, who can possess his whole faculties in
Knness and tranquillity, amidst such general cause of
â– ppiness. The passions arc as natural to us as our rea-
K itself. And it is a defect in the moral composition of
K nature (a defect imputable, however, entirely to our-
Eves), if we want a due feeling, a natural excess and ex-
Kvagance, wherp nature intended us solo feel and ex.
Ked.—But as nothing is So injurious to any clear views
V a subject, as to have it only in this mere heap before us,
â– e shall endeavour, in a degree, to arrange and methodize
Er views in some distinct and successive order, and there.
r to compress the attention of our readers within certain
Dints.
The first point of attention is the successful pursuit of
e remnants of the French army, Under the fugitive So So;reign
;reign So;reign and leader, the.spoiled childof fortune, Bonaparte,
t is not to our purpose to repeat the details, or the sub sublance
lance sublance of what every one ought to read till it be imperish imperish)ly
)ly imperish)ly impressed. The battle of Hanau seems to have adif adifrent
rent adifrent air to what the French accounts had assigned. Bo Boaparte,
aparte, Boaparte, flying w;ith the most ruinous velocity from the
tai, the fundamental overthrow of his fortunes, and al alost
ost alost of his Empire, at Leipsic, found himself intercepted
y a march of the Bavarian Army into its own immediate
ne of advance; and saw that the only means of safety
as a despejate attack upon the enemy before him. It
an evident and a strong proof of his fallen fortunes,
tat the man, against whom all the assembled armies of
il-the Powers of Europe were scarce an equal match— matchiat
iat matchiat this man, we say, is now scarcely equal to the single
limy of a single Electoral Power, and was detained two
lays upon his road, before he could break his way thro’
this feeble line.
| The second point of observation is the line of march and
of operation which was taken by the Allied Armies—and
|n the firstinstance by those of the Emperors Francis and
Alexander. The necessary effects of such a battle as that
•f Leipsic must have been, or at least in ordinary cases
rould have been, that it must in a degree have crippled
veu the conquerors, and have retarded theniin their pur puruit
uit puruit of the flying enemy. But here we see no such crip crip•ling—no
•ling—no crip•ling—no such retardment. The victorious army seemed
o have commenced and continued their pursuit with the
vigour and almost the cohesion as if they were the mem.
wrs of one man. They entered Frankfort with as much
irder as they had marched upon Leipsic. In th? numer.
ms dispatches by our own accompanying Officers, all of
rhich are written in a style of most admirable eloquence,
there does not appear to us a finer passage than that in
ivhich Lord Cathcart makes mention of the perfect parade
prder with w hich the Russian cavalry, after a march of 100
English miles, passed in review before their Sovereign up-
D!» entering Frankfort on the Maine.—The importance of
this passage is, that it proves two points bey ond all fu future
ture future dispute.—in the first place, the value of the Russian
cavalry, and secondly, the character of the spirit and en enthusiasm
thusiasm enthusiasm now general over ail Europe, it is this spirit,
iwakeiied and supported by England, which has accorn-
Slished this great work of general emancipation.
A third point is, the line of operation of the Crown
’rince. After the deliverance of Gottingen, Hanover,
hemen, and all the towns in his way, this illustrious
> eneral (for such has he now rendered himself in imme immeliately
liately immeliately upon the frontier of Holland, and a few days,
perhaps only a few hours, will elapse before we shall learn
the confirmation of the Dutch liberties, by the presence
of a force agaiust which Bonaparte cannot venture to
make movement. Let us here be allowed to add one wish :
—When Holland is thus effectually .freed, let her he put
into a state which will secure her independence, not or»!y
igainst France, but agaiust every other Power in future.
Her own limits are not wide enough. Something must
be added to give her such a line of frontier, such a force,
and such a revenue, as will enable her to act her former
character io the Political Balance of Europe—that is to
•ay, to become a sufficient Barrier to France and Prussia.
—This was the fault of her ancient system, and was the
excuse upon which Bonaparte annexed her to France.
A fourth point is the direction of the movements of
General Blucher. This venerable General (one of the
Sieves of Frederic of Prussia,) a man now in his 70th
year, has excited the just astonishment of Europe, by the
manner in which' hc> has regenerated the Prussian Nation
and Army ; and if admidst so many illustrious military
leaders it were not almost unfair to distinguish any one
pre-eminently, we should feel inclined to say that next
to our Wellington and Graham, Blucher, was the first
General in Europe.—The opinion of the whole of the
Allied Army, seems to be the same, for they have evident,
ly assigned to him the most difficult line of operation.
The stronger! fortress on the Rhine, and we believe almost
of Europe, is Ehrenbrestein ; and if the Allied Armies
«ould once force this town and fort, they would effect effecttally
tally effecttally be nearly master of that frontier. It may be re remembered,
membered, remembered, what a long siege in early part of the Revo RevoiutiotF
iutiotF RevoiutiotF was supported by these forts of the Rhine, and
•ome notion of their strenght may be formed from these
circumstances. It is probable, however, that they are
for the most part garrisoned by the Confederates of the
Rhine—by Saxons, Bavarins, &c. If this be the case,
the conquest of them will be greatly accelerated, perhaps
Mnmediately secured, by the quality of their garrisons,
which will of course avail themselves of any opportunity
to withdraw. At any event, Blucher will not attack them
u» vain; for we understand that he excels as much in the
tactics required for the attack and defence of towns, as
in operations in the field.
A fifth point, and scarcely of inferior importance to any
of the preceding, is the carrying by assault, by the army
of Prince Schwartzenbcrg, the lines which united thetete thetetede.pont.of
de.pont.of thetetede.pont.of Cassel to the Rhine. The success of this oper operation
ation operation ensures, We presume, the easy acquisition of the
town —and therein of a ve/y important post on the Rhine.
We cannot make mention of this circumstance, without
calling the attention of our readers to the spirited .-letter
of Sir Robert Wilson, and more particularly of the para paragraph
graph paragraph with which he concludes it. We do not, however,
quote from the reason above assigned.—We will not do
so much injustice to the feelings of our readers, as to pre.
sume that they have not read it.
Upon the whole of this most cheering intelligence, we
cannot but congratulate ourselves, our countrymen, and
all Europe, that in so sljort a space of time the arms and
example of England have terminated one of the most mis mischievous
chievous mischievous systems.of empire, which the ambition of a Re Revolutionary
volutionary Revolutionary Conqueror could have conceived, and to
which neither modern nor ancient history can produce a
parallel. It was England, and England only, that main,
tained alive (hat spirit of resistance and self-defence, which
in all'the other States of Europe, had been broken down
by a long succession of disasters. It was England which
excited, encouraged, and supported the Emperor Alex Alexander,
ander, Alexander, when the enemy had penetrated into the very bow bowels
els bowels of Ids empire, and when there seemed no hopes but in
an unconditional submission. It is not too much, there therefore,
fore, therefore, to assume, that Europe owes her deliverance to the
arms of England, and that all posterity will feel indebted
to the courage and the prudence with which we fought the
battle of ourselves and our children. The blessing of God
has visited our efforts; and the days work is nearly done.

Monuments at Moscow and st. petersburoii.
The French, in their invasion of Russia, were, accord,
ing to an official report since published, accompanied by
1,195 pieces of ordnance : of these a considerable number
was, rather reluctantly, ceded by them to the Russians,;
and a much greater proportion was dropped, en passant,
between Moscow and the Niemen; so that, according to
another official return, 1,131, remained in the possession
ol the Russians on Christmas eve, 1812. The use to be
made of this massy relic of the French invasion, is pointed
out by an Imperial Decree of the Emperor Alexander.
The captured cannon are to be employed in the construe,
tion of two colossal pillars, the one at Moscow, and the
other at St. Petcrsburgh. The plan of the monument has
been given in by the artist charged with the structure, and
finally approved of by the Russian Government. The
cannons are placed vertically beside each other, in -eight
distinct tiers; those of the heaviest calibre stand lowest,
and thus the size of every range diminishes as it rises to towards
wards towards the top, where cannon of the smallest size are em employed.
ployed. employed. A ring of Russian marble forms the separation
between each tier. The two circular ranges, one at top
and the o.ther at bottom, are composed of mortars and
howitzers horizontally placed, so as to present the months
towards the exterior surface. In imitation of the Roman
rostral columd, two cannbns with brass wheels project
from each tier in alternate situations; these are, in the
drawing, sideways in tier, and facing the eye in the next
above it. The diameter in the lower circular range of
mortarsand howitzersis to be 17 feet, the horizontal sides
of the granite square forming the plinth, 28, and the whole
height of the column, 84 feet.
LEIPSIC.
Leipsick, or Leipsic; a city of Germany, in the circle
of Upper Saxony, and capital of a circle of the same name.
This is one of the finest and most celebrated towns in all
Germany, situated in a pleasant and fertile plain on the
river Pleisse. Its circuit is estimated at 8954 places; but
the suburbs are well built and large, and furnished with
gardens. Between the town itself and the suburbs, a fine
walk of lime trees were laid out in the year 1702, which
runs quite round the town. In the town ditches Were also
planted mulberry trees. It is the seat of a very flourishing
and famous University, which was founded and dedicated
in the year 1409, and consists of four nations, namely, of
the Misnian, Saxon, Bavarian, or Franconian, and the
Polish, and contains in six colleges; as also, of two good
Latin schools: and likewise of two celebrated societies, as,
namely, a German society, and another for the encour encouragement
agement encouragement of the liberal arts. Leipsic is also one of the four
towns where the contingents of the Empire are paid in, and
likewise one of the principal trading towns in all Germany,
inasmuch as it enjoys not only an important foreign trade,
but also at its three celebrated fairs, which are kept at
Easter, Michaemas, and the begining of the pew year,
carries on a very extensive comerce, both in domestic and
foreign wares. It is likewise possessed of the staple right,
by virtue of which all staple comodities, imported within
sixty miles round, must be unladen here, at least, for
three days, and offered to sale to such of the trading and
mercantile people here, as are burghers: and then, for
the first time, carried farther, but to be unladen no whera
else* The Pliessenburg here, is no strong citadel on the
Pleisse, where a mint was founded in 1752. Here also,
in a chapel, the Roman Catholics perforin their worship.
In the centre of /he town is a spacious and fine market marketplace,

all probability, received its original from the Sorbenwends
—Ditmar in his chronicle, speaks of it so early as the year
1015, under the title of a town. According to the receiv received
ed received opftiiorf it belonged to the Bishoprick of Merseburg,
till Conrad, Margrave of Meissen, obtained the posses possession
sion possession of it in the year 1131, by exchange. In 1519, a
theological conference was held here between Dr. Luther
and Dr. Eck; and, in 1631, another appointed between
the Saxon or Lutheran, and the Brandenburg and Hessian,
or Calvanists Divines. In 1547 this town was besieged,
in vain, by the Elector J. Frederick • as also in 1637, by
Banner, the Swedish General. In 1631, and 1632, it was
taken by the,' Imperialists, and in 1642 by the Swedes.
In 1745, and 1756, it was garrisoned by the Prussians,
to whom it was obliged to pay very considerable sums of
money, byway of contribution. The circle contains 33

ger is going off to England, and I have only time to tell
you an annccdote, which you may rely on as true: on
the evening of the 18th, Bonaparte came into the room
where the King and Princess of Saxony were, and told
them that they ought to congratulate him on having gain gained
ed gained a great victory, but that he still felt himself obliged to
retire on his resources, and hoped that they would come
with him. They replied, that they followed him too long ;
that they now were resolved to throw themselves on the
mercy and generosity of the Allies; he then flew into a.
tremendous passion, stamped about the room, and after
having giving way to his passion, he rnshed out of the
room, and just as he was closing the door, thrust in his
head and said to her— ‘ Quanta votre pere, Madame,e’est
un grand coquin.’— The king of Saxony is here, and oc occupies
cupies occupies the old apartments of the Great Frederick. He is
under the care of Prince Gallitzin.
It is said that a severe engagement, between an American
privateer and a merchant vessel, off our coast, has taken
place; the particulars thereof we have not yet learn.

The Allied Army of the North of Germany has now •¦terad your borders after your Government had refused to accept the repeated offers of the Allies to join the general cause of Europe.

The peaceable inhabitants will be protected : the fomenters of troubles punished; the army shall observe the strictest order and discipline.

Obey such directions as they influenced by the circumstances of the times, shall give you. . ' NEW BRUNSWICK. Fredericton, January 11, 1814. His Honor the President came to the Council Chamber and opened the Session of the General Assembly, with the following Speech :— Gentlemen of the Council, and Gentlemen of the Assembly, As no change of importance in the condition of this Province has occurred since your last meeting in General Assembly, the principal object which I have to recoin, mend to your present deliberation are the necessary provi. sions of the Revenue and appropriation for the ensuing period, and a review of the Militia Law, which may per. haps, by some amendments, be rendered more efficient for the essential purposes of defence, for which we are so loudly calk'd upon to be in a constant state of preparation. The Royal approbation of the Act passed with a sus. pending clause in the last Session, “for the further increase of the Revenue of this Province,” has already been publicly notified. A copy of the Order of His Royal Bigness the Prince Regent in Council, made fur this gra. cions purpose in the name and on the behalf of His Ma. jesty, shall be laid before you. Such other subjects as 1 may have to propose for your consideration shall in the course of the Session be Coiumu. nicated by Message. Gentlemen of the Assembly, I have directed the Treasurer’s Accounts and such other documents as may be requisite for your further information to be laid before you ; from the state as the Treasury, 1 am happy to find the Revenue has in the last been more productive than in any former year. Gentlemen of the Council and Gentlemen of the Assembly, While we lament the infatuation by which the Govern, merit of the United States has been led to take a course so directly the reverse which every free people in a similar situation ought to have pursued, we have'reason to hope this frenzy will not be of long duration, it broke out in a declaration of war against His Majesty, at a time when the sanguinary usurper of France had become more than ever formidable iu Europe, and his lust of universal domi. nion appeared to be no longer considered as 4 hopeless and romantic passion; in that moment the unnatural ambition of his American partizans was fired with a hope of shar. ing in his expected triumph over that country which alone continued with effect to resist his destructive career, the country from which they were themselves descended; but a merciful Providence has since opened a prospect which may well animate the courage and the hopes of suffering nations; the glorious successes which have crowned the arms of His Majesty and of his reviving in Europe and the disappointed efforts oi an unprovoked hostility in America, may with reason be considered as pledges of a aconsumatiuii devoutly to be wished” in which the wise and good of every country wil rejoice to see a general res. toration of peace in the horrors of revolution, oppres. sion, and desolution. In the mean time, whatever may be the course of ap. preaching events, it will be most sincerely may ambition to contribute,, hy every means in my power, to the security and prosperity of the Province committed to my ad. ministration. To His Honor Major-Gen. Sir Thomas Saumarez, President and Commander in Chief of the Province ot New Brunswick, &c. &c. &c. The humble Address to His Majesty’s Council in General Assembly. Sir —We thank yonr Honor for your Speech at the opening of this Sessiort, and we shall, with zeal and ala. crity, pay every attention to the objects therein recommended, and to such others as you may have to propose our deliberation. In particulare, we shall be happy to contribute our best endeavours to render our Militia Law more efficient for the essential purposes of defence, for which we are so loudly called upon to be in a constant state of preparation. We consider the Royal approbation of the Act, passed with a suspending clause in the last session, “for the fur. ther increase of the Revenue of this'Province,” as a fresh instance of paternal favor to this Loyal Colojny. We fully participate in the sentiment expressed by your Honor, respecting the hostile course into which the Government of the U. S. has been led, bo directly the reverse of that whicb-every free people, in a similar situation, ought to have pursued at the time when the sanguinary usurper of France had become more than ever formidable in/Eua rope, and his lust of universal dominion appeared to be no longer considered as a hopeites and romantic passion. And however extravagant his own anticipation may have been of homagcand submission in other countries, he must him. self have been surprised to find partizans in America, who could by any motive be induced to aid him in his destruc. tive career. Yet the world has seen, and must have seen with astonishment, that, in that moment, the unnatural ambition of a prevailing party in America has been fired with a hope of sharing iu his fondly expected triumph over that country which then continued alone with effect tore, sist the Enemy of Mankind—the Country from which th y were themselves descended ! but we join with your Ho. nor in the hope that this frenzy will not be of long duration, and in a due acknowledgment of that merciful Pro. vidcnce which has since opened a prospect so consoling to the wise and good of every country, who will gladly hail •the gloriou successes w hich have crowned the arms of His Majesty, and of his reviving Allies in Europe, and the disappointed efforts of unprovoked hostility in America, as pledges of a consummation devoutly to be wished, result, ing in a general restoration of peace and independence to Nations which have So long suffered the horrors of revolution, oppression, and desolation. In this cheering hope we are also happy in the fullest con. fidence that nothing in your Honor’s power will be want, ing to the security and prosperity of the Province commit, ted to your administration. Answer of His Honor the President to the Address of the Council. Gentlemen of the Council, I sincerely thank you for.this Address, and anticipate with much satisfaction the result to be expected from your well known zeal and ability in the discharge-of the duties of that important station, to which His Majesty has appointed you in this Province. To His Honor Major-Gen. Sir Thomas Saumarez, President and Commander in Chief of the Province of New Brunswick, &c. &c. &c.The humble Address of the House of Assembly. May it please your Honor, The House of Assembly truly sensible of the importance of those principal objects recommended by yonr Honor“the Revenue and appropriation fur the ensuing period,” and “a revisal of the Militia Law,” will make them the subjects of their most serious deliberation. His Majesty’s Royal approbation of the Act of the last Session, “for the further increase of the Revenue of this Province,” and the order of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent thereon, are communications from your Honor highly gratifying to the House, ever ambitious to obtain JI is Majesty’s approbation. Ihe House also beg leave to assure your Honor, of their due and faithful attention as well to such other subjects as shall he proposed by your Honor for their consideration during the present Session, as to Treasurer’s Accounts, and all other papers and documents which your Honor may direct tube laid before them ; and they derive iiigh satisfaction from your Honor’s communication of the improved state of the Revenue during the year past. The folly and ingratitude of the United States in the prosecution of the present war against Great Britain, and ihe unworthy motives (so correctly detailed by your Honor) which have led hi the unnatural devotion of their powers, in support of sanguinary usurper, against that Country whic'i'gavc birth to their ancestors, and protection to themselves, must consign them among nations to obloquy and contempt, and the House unite with your Honor in ascribing to the interference of a merciful Providence the glorious successes, which have crowned with victory the arms of His Majesty and his Allies in Europe, and blasted the hopesand unavailing efforts of unprovoked hostility on this Continent, which appear to be pledges of an happy consummation, and of a general restoration of peace and independence to the suffering nations. The House have also the fullest confidence that your Honor’s wisq and prudent administration will contribute not only to the present security, but also to the future prosperity of this Province. To which His Honor was pleased to make the following reply; Gentlemen of the Assembly, I return you thanks for this Address, and gladly avail myself of the occasion to express my entire confidence in your zeal and ambition to second my best endeavours to secure and promote the welfare and prosperity of this Loyal Colony. REDUCTION OF FRANCE WITHIN .HER ANCIENT LIMITS. In the endless multiplicity of accounts which pour upon us on all sides, every day and hour bringing its porti• on of additional happy intelligence, it is scarcely possible for a political writer to make any due scfection of suitable objects of preference; he becomes confounded in the midst of thcsplcndid materials before him, and scarcely takes up one of the fragments which compose the brilliant heap, before his eye is caught by the rival splendour of another, and he is fearful of being accused of injustice to one whilst he is wrapt up in attention to the other.— There is no point of the compass, no ray in the circle of the Heavens, to which he can now look, without seeing—not the dawning, but the brightening day of restored religion, civil order, and true liberty. —Evety wind that • blows from every point comes freighted with some new
PAGE 3
K and seems to deposit some new blessing at his feet. K is truly unworthy of the name of an Englishman, and Kost of a man, who can possess his whole faculties in Knness and tranquillity, amidst such general cause of ¦ppiness. The passions arc as natural to us as our reaK itself. And it is a defect in the moral composition of K nature (a defect imputable, however, entirely to ourEves), if we want a due feeling, a natural excess and exKvagance, wherp nature intended us solo feel and ex. Ked.—But as nothing is So injurious to any clear views V a subject, as to have it only in this mere heap before us, ¦e shall endeavour, in a degree, to arrange and methodize Er views in some distinct and successive order, and there. r to compress the attention of our readers within certain Dints. The first point of attention is the successful pursuit of e remnants of the French army, Under the fugitive So;reign and leader, the.spoiled childof fortune, Bonaparte, t is not to our purpose to repeat the details, or the sublance of what every one ought to read till it be imperish)ly impressed. The battle of Hanau seems to have adifrent air to what the French accounts had assigned. Boaparte, flying w;ith the most ruinous velocity from the tai, the fundamental overthrow of his fortunes, and alost of his Empire, at Leipsic, found himself intercepted y a march of the Bavarian Army into its own immediate ne of advance; and saw that the only means of safety as a despejate attack upon the enemy before him. It an evident and a strong proof of his fallen fortunes, tat the man, against whom all the assembled armies of il-the Powers of Europe were scarce an equal match—iat this man, we say, is now scarcely equal to the single limy of a single Electoral Power, and was detained two lays upon his road, before he could break his way thro’ this feeble line. | The second point of observation is the line of march and of operation which was taken by the Allied Armies—and |n the firstinstance by those of the Emperors Francis and Alexander. The necessary effects of such a battle as that •f Leipsic must have been, or at least in ordinary cases rould have been, that it must in a degree have crippled veu the conquerors, and have retarded theniin their puruit of the flying enemy. But here we see no such crip•ling—no such retardment. The victorious army seemed o have commenced and continued their pursuit with the vigour and almost the cohesion as if they were the mem. wrs of one man. They entered Frankfort with as much irder as they had marched upon Leipsic. In th? numer. ms dispatches by our own accompanying Officers, all of rhich are written in a style of most admirable eloquence, there does not appear to us a finer passage than that in ivhich Lord Cathcart makes mention of the perfect parade prder with w hich the Russian cavalry, after a march of 100 English miles, passed in review before their Sovereign upD!» entering Frankfort on the Maine.—The importance of this passage is, that it proves two points bey ond all future dispute.—in the first place, the value of the Russian cavalry, and secondly, the character of the spirit and enthusiasm now general over ail Europe, it is this spirit, iwakeiied and supported by England, which has accornSlished this great work of general emancipation. A third point is, the line of operation of the Crown ’rince. After the deliverance of Gottingen, Hanover, hemen, and all the towns in his way, this illustrious > eneral (for such has he now rendered himself in immeliately upon the frontier of Holland, and a few days, perhaps only a few hours, will elapse before we shall learn the confirmation of the Dutch liberties, by the presence of a force agaiust which Bonaparte cannot venture to make movement. Let us here be allowed to add one wish : —When Holland is thus effectually .freed, let her he put into a state which will secure her independence, not or»!y igainst France, but agaiust every other Power in future. Her own limits are not wide enough. Something must be added to give her such a line of frontier, such a force, and such a revenue, as will enable her to act her former character io the Political Balance of Europe—that is to •ay, to become a sufficient Barrier to France and Prussia. —This was the fault of her ancient system, and was the excuse upon which Bonaparte annexed her to France. A fourth point is the direction of the movements of General Blucher. This venerable General (one of the Sieves of Frederic of Prussia,) a man now in his 70th year, has excited the just astonishment of Europe, by the manner in which' hc> has regenerated the Prussian Nation and Army ; and if admidst so many illustrious military leaders it were not almost unfair to distinguish any one pre-eminently, we should feel inclined to say that next to our Wellington and Graham, Blucher, was the first General in Europe.—The opinion of the whole of the Allied Army, seems to be the same, for they have evident, ly assigned to him the most difficult line of operation. The stronger! fortress on the Rhine, and we believe almost of Europe, is Ehrenbrestein ; and if the Allied Armies «ould once force this town and fort, they would effecttally be nearly master of that frontier. It may be remembered, what a long siege in early part of the RevoiutiotF was supported by these forts of the Rhine, and •ome notion of their strenght may be formed from these circumstances. It is probable, however, that they are for the most part garrisoned by the Confederates of the Rhine—by Saxons, Bavarins, &c. If this be the case, the conquest of them will be greatly accelerated, perhaps Mnmediately secured, by the quality of their garrisons, which will of course avail themselves of any opportunity to withdraw. At any event, Blucher will not attack them u» vain; for we understand that he excels as much in the tactics required for the attack and defence of towns, as in operations in the field. A fifth point, and scarcely of inferior importance to any of the preceding, is the carrying by assault, by the army of Prince Schwartzenbcrg, the lines which united thetetede.pont.of Cassel to the Rhine. The success of this operation ensures, We presume, the easy acquisition of the town —and therein of a ve/y important post on the Rhine. We cannot make mention of this circumstance, without calling the attention of our readers to the spirited .-letter of Sir Robert Wilson, and more particularly of the paragraph with which he concludes it. We do not, however, quote from the reason above assigned.—We will not do so much injustice to the feelings of our readers, as to pre. sume that they have not read it. Upon the whole of this most cheering intelligence, we cannot but congratulate ourselves, our countrymen, and all Europe, that in so sljort a space of time the arms and example of England have terminated one of the most mischievous systems.of empire, which the ambition of a Revolutionary Conqueror could have conceived, and to which neither modern nor ancient history can produce a parallel. It was England, and England only, that main, tained alive (hat spirit of resistance and self-defence, which in all'the other States of Europe, had been broken down by a long succession of disasters. It was England which excited, encouraged, and supported the Emperor Alexander, when the enemy had penetrated into the very bowels of Ids empire, and when there seemed no hopes but in an unconditional submission. It is not too much, therefore, to assume, that Europe owes her deliverance to the arms of England, and that all posterity will feel indebted to the courage and the prudence with which we fought the battle of ourselves and our children. The blessing of God has visited our efforts; and the days work is nearly done. INCREASE OF.OUR DISPOSABLE FORCE. The Bill for increasing the disposable force of the kingdom by voluntary offers from the Militia has just been printed—. The preamble enforces the necessity of the measure for the purpose of a vigorous prosecution of the war upon the Continent—The .Bill empowers His Majesty to accept the voluntary offers of a proportion of the Militia to serve in any part of Europe.—lt gives a bounty of ten guineas to each militia-man willing to serve in any part of Europe during the rest of the war, and until six months after the ratification of a treaty of peace.—lt enacts, that the Commanding Officers shall explain that the offer is to be voluntary.—lt provides, that the services of three Field Officers may be accepted with 900 men ; two Fidel Officers with 600 men ; and one with 300; and a proportion of other Officers according to the establishment.—His Majesty may form the Militia for extended service iuto such provisional Regqnents or Battalions as he may think pro. per.—Officers of Militia not to take any higher rank in His Majesty’s regular forces, while ou extended service, than Lieut..Colonel.—ln case sufficient Officers do not volunteer, His Majesty may appoint Officers.—Officers, whose offers of extended service arc accepted, entitled to half-pay ; but not if they do not join and serve upon being required to supply vacancies ; pensions to Widows of Officers killed on service.—Militia on extended service, subject to Mutiny Act as regulars; and Militia Officers and Officers of regular forces to sit indiscriminately on Courts Martial.—To continue Militia, and remain subject to Militia regulations, except as particularly provided by this Act..—His Majesty may make regulations for retaining Officers, Non-commissioned Officers and drum, mersas supernumeraries.—Militiu-men may enlist together as a Company of not less than 100; and His Majesty may appoint Officers from the Militia, and make battalions of such companies, &c.—Militia Officers volunteering to serve in the regular forces to have half-pay.—Number of men taken from the Militia, not to exceed ...... —Acts of 51 Geo. 111. chap. 20 and 30, relating to Militia enlisting into the Line, to continue in force, except in the particular case specified in this Act. Monuments at Moscow and st. petersburoii. The French, in their invasion of Russia, were, accord, ing to an official report since published, accompanied by 1,195 pieces of ordnance : of these a considerable number was, rather reluctantly, ceded by them to the Russians,; and a much greater proportion was dropped, en passant, between Moscow and the Niemen; so that, according to another official return, 1,131, remained in the possession ol the Russians on Christmas eve, 1812. The use to be made of this massy relic of the French invasion, is pointed out by an Imperial Decree of the Emperor Alexander. The captured cannon are to be employed in the construe, tion of two colossal pillars, the one at Moscow, and the other at St. Petcrsburgh. The plan of the monument has been given in by the artist charged with the structure, and finally approved of by the Russian Government. The cannons are placed vertically beside each other, in -eight distinct tiers; those of the heaviest calibre stand lowest, and thus the size of every range diminishes as it rises towards the top, where cannon of the smallest size are employed. A ring of Russian marble forms the separation between each tier. The two circular ranges, one at top and the o.ther at bottom, are composed of mortars and howitzers horizontally placed, so as to present the months towards the exterior surface. In imitation of the Roman rostral columd, two cannbns with brass wheels project from each tier in alternate situations; these are, in the drawing, sideways in tier, and facing the eye in the next above it. The diameter in the lower circular range of mortarsand howitzersis to be 17 feet, the horizontal sides of the granite square forming the plinth, 28, and the whole height of the column, 84 feet. LEIPSIC. Leipsick, or Leipsic; a city of Germany, in the circle of Upper Saxony, and capital of a circle of the same name. This is one of the finest and most celebrated towns in all Germany, situated in a pleasant and fertile plain on the river Pleisse. Its circuit is estimated at 8954 places; but the suburbs are well built and large, and furnished with gardens. Between the town itself and the suburbs, a fine walk of lime trees were laid out in the year 1702, which runs quite round the town. In the town ditches Were also planted mulberry trees. It is the seat of a very flourishing and famous University, which was founded and dedicated in the year 1409, and consists of four nations, namely, of the Misnian, Saxon, Bavarian, or Franconian, and the Polish, and contains in six colleges; as also, of two good Latin schools: and likewise of two celebrated societies, as, namely, a German society, and another for the encouragement of the liberal arts. Leipsic is also one of the four towns where the contingents of the Empire are paid in, and likewise one of the principal trading towns in all Germany, inasmuch as it enjoys not only an important foreign trade, but also at its three celebrated fairs, which are kept at Easter, Michaemas, and the begining of the pew year, carries on a very extensive comerce, both in domestic and foreign wares. It is likewise possessed of the staple right, by virtue of which all staple comodities, imported within sixty miles round, must be unladen here, at least, for three days, and offered to sale to such of the trading and mercantile people here, as are burghers: and then, for the first time, carried farther, but to be unladen no whera else* The Pliessenburg here, is no strong citadel on the Pleisse, where a mint was founded in 1752. Here also, in a chapel, the Roman Catholics perforin their worship. In the centre of /he town is a spacious and fine marketplace, near which also the Council-House stands. The Exchange is well built, and the roof of its hall well painted. Here are 8 parish churches for Lutherians, besides the Roman Catholic chapel, and a place of worship for Calvinists. Various sorts of manufactures are carried On in this town, gold, silver, silk, wool, and linen yarn, being worked here, in all manner of stuffs, velvets, stockings, cloths, and linen. There are also houses for the dying of silk, as likewise for the making of tapestry and linen, and the printing of cotton. Leather and Prussian blue, &c. arc prepared here, and the orphan honse is appropriated to the culture of silk.—ln Leipsic are computed about 20 booksellers, 50 French and Italian mercantile and trading people, 150 wholesale dealers, above 250 retailers, and many dealers in doth. The town itself, in all probability, received its original from the Sorbenwends —Ditmar in his chronicle, speaks of it so early as the year 1015, under the title of a town. According to the received opftiiorf it belonged to the Bishoprick of Merseburg, till Conrad, Margrave of Meissen, obtained the possession of it in the year 1131, by exchange. In 1519, a theological conference was held here between Dr. Luther and Dr. Eck; and, in 1631, another appointed between the Saxon or Lutheran, and the Brandenburg and Hessian, or Calvanists Divines. In 1547 this town was besieged, in vain, by the Elector J. Frederick • as also in 1637, by Banner, the Swedish General. In 1631, and 1632, it was taken by the,' Imperialists, and in 1642 by the Swedes. In 1745, and 1756, it was garrisoned by the Prussians, to whom it was obliged to pay very considerable sums of money, byway of contribution. The circle contains 33 towns, and upwards of 1000 villages; 56miles W. N. W. of Dresden, Long. 30. 4. E. Ferro Lat. 51. 16. N. BERLIN, Oct. 31.—1 have just heard thatamessen. ger is going off to England, and I have only time to tell you an annccdote, which you may rely on as true: on the evening of the 18th, Bonaparte came into the room where the King and Princess of Saxony were, and told them that they ought to congratulate him on having gained a great victory, but that he still felt himself obliged to retire on his resources, and hoped that they would come with him. They replied, that they followed him too long ; that they now were resolved to throw themselves on the mercy and generosity of the Allies; he then flew into a. tremendous passion, stamped about the room, and after having giving way to his passion, he rnshed out of the room, and just as he was closing the door, thrust in his head and said to her— ‘ Quanta votre pere, Madame,e’est un grand coquin.’— The king of Saxony is here, and occupies the old apartments of the Great Frederick. He is under the care of Prince Gallitzin. It is said that a severe engagement, between an American privateer and a merchant vessel, off our coast, has taken place; the particulars thereof we have not yet learn. FOR SALE.
