General Note:
The Berbice gazette, published in New Amsterdam, Berbice, began between 1804 (Berbice gazette, December 7, 1901, page 1) and 1806 (Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, October 1918, page 285), depending on the source consulted, although there is reference to a newspaper located in New Amsterdam by this name in a letter dated May 7, 1805 (Kort historisch verhaal van den eersten aanleg, lotgevallen en voortgang der particuliere colonie Berbice, gelegen in het landschap Guiana in Zuid-America, 1807). Nicolaas Volkerts is often credited with establishing the Berbice gazette, however he was publishing the Essequebo and Demerary gazette in Stabroek, Demerara (now Georgetown, Guyana) until 1806, when he lost his status as the government printer to his former partner, then rival, Edward James Henery, publisher of the Essequebo and Demerary royal gazette. Volkerts remained in Demerara until July 1807, making it unlikely for him to have been the original publisher of the Berbice gazette. By 1813, the newspaper had been sold to William Schulz, who would oversee publication of the newspaper for the next two to three decades. In 1822, the title of the paper was briefly changed to the Berbice gazette and New Amsterdam advertiser, before becoming the Berbice royal gazette and New Amsterdam advertiser, a few months later. Around 1837, the name of the paper was shortened to the Berbice advertiser, which only lasted until May 1840 (Journal of the Statistical Society of London, July 1841, page 125). The discontinuation of the Berbice advertiser may have been a result of a libel suit against the then publisher John Emery (Legal observer, or, Journal of jurisprudence, November 9, 1844, page 19). Whatever the reason behind the cessation of the Berbice advertiser, it was soon after replaced by another iteration of the Berbice gazette, started by George A. M'Kidd around 1841. Sometime between 1846 and 1858, the name of the newspaper changed to become the Berbice gazette and British Guiana advertiser (The Creole, March 6, 1858, page 1). Publication was suspended for a few months that year but returned in December 1858 as a weekly newspaper with a new publisher, John Thompson (The Creole, December 11, 1858, page 2). Thompson returned the name of the newspaper to the Berbice gazette in 1877 and continued to publish it until his death in 1879. Charles Edwin Hooten purchased the newspaper and ran it for the next 8 years, until falling into the hands of its final publisher, William MacDonald. The Berbice gazette published its final issue on March 29, 1902.

At lenght, our Dispatch Boat arrived here Wednesday

to the mighty armies that they state to be converging to.'
wards the French metropolis. To meet those numerous
and well.disciplined troops, the French papers would
have us believe that their Marshals, with an adequate
force, are marching in various directions, and that some
of them had already taken up positions which would not
only ensure-the safety of the Empire, but also lead to th
speedy expulsion of its invaders; yet, scarcely does this
intelligence reach before our Government is
put in possession of official accounts, that those very stron
holds have been entered and passed by the Allies almost |
without opposition.—Thus it is evident, that the army ot t
France has'been so reduced by its late reverses, as not to *
be capable of presenting a sufficient body of soldiers to j
repel the coaleced troops at any one of the several points
by which they are proceeding into the very heart of that j
country; and, as a dernier resort, Bonaparte has issued |
a Decree for the immediate formation of the National
Guards of Paris, which he is to command in person ana
'rom which service there is hardly any exemption. It is (
with this motley force, then, that the fate of Napoleon is
be that, should the Allies remain firm, and,

'avoid any further discussions upon the iubject of Peace

"the prescut dynasty on the Throne of France.” That he

the 1 hroilc; ot a man from whom hp has never received
any other than the most insulting treatment; who never
isutiered his relationship to operate as asofteiier of any one

performance ot the harsh conditions he had imposed.upon
him, with tne same uiireleiitlng stern ie»s he had evinced
before his marriage; that he should be anxious for the

,it is said that he would be glad that the son of this Bona.
:parte, “his own grandson, a minor, with his own daugb.
.ter as Empryss Regent, should remain on the throne of
France.”—Could His Imperial Majesty expect this?
Could he expect that, after the removal and death of Bo Bonaparte,
naparte, Bonaparte, his daughter and grandson w ould be able to pre.
serve themselves upon the Throne of France? It is-im is-impossible
possible is-impossible that he can entertain such an expectation.—But
in supposing that he must be against the re-establishment of
the ancient dynasty (we have sufficiently shewn that hci»
not) they seem to forget entirely that thereis the offspring
of an Austrian Princess still in the family of the Bourbons
—that the daughter of Louis XVI. and of the hapless
Antoinette, an Austrian Princess, is married to the Duke
of Angoulume.
We alluded on Saturday to the arrival of.a Nobleman
from France; his name has been imprudently, we think,
made public by other Papers, and one of them says, it is
true “that M. de Chabanes, the nephew of M. de Talley,
rand, did arrive in England a few days ago, and had an i*>
terview with Louis XVIII. and he is again returned to the
Continent. But Mons, de Chabanes is not a person of the
weight and influence which has’ been assigned him.
long ago quarrelled with his ancle. He emigrated to this
country, where his speculations in trade plunged him into
difficulties, and obliged into to make a hasjy retreat from
his creditors.” This is a mistake, the M. de Chabanes
arrived is, we understand, the brother of that person. Be
is certainly the nephew both of Talleyrand and the Arch Archbishop
bishop Archbishop of Rheims. .
Dav oust has published some fresh orders at Hamburgh
of the same sanguinary tendency with hjs preceding ones.
One of these orders inflicts the punishment of death upon
persons using inllammatory speeches, tending to exasperate
the inhabitants against the troops. . This is in the true re-



â– volutionary jacobin style. Davoust seems determined to
■merit the fate that we trust awaits him—Death by the com-
Inion hangman. However, we must not forget that no
â–  small part of the misery in which Hamburgh is involved
â– is owing to Denmark.

“The Senator, Count de £egur, Grand Master of the Ceremonies,

I “His Majesty knows the evils you have suffered, the

at'them. • .
“He had projects more for your glory find for your
prosperity ; the inconstancy of the elements, and of his
Allies, has prevented the accomplishment of his great
designs.
“The Emperor prefers the happiness of the people to
glory too dearly bought. He has therefore renounced all
plans of aggradisement: he has consented to sacrifice plain,
i’ul both for himself and for us. In a word, he accepted
all the conditions of peace proposed to him by our enemies.
“You would then already enjoy this wished for peace,
if thosgsame enemies had not thought fit to delay it. Thej

endeavour to make you doubt of the pacific intentions oi
His Majesty.
“No Frenchman can be deceived by them. His Majes Majesty
ty Majesty has declared to the Senate, to the Legislative Body, in
the face of the Universe, that he desire peace, and that the
feels as a Monarch and a Father, how much peace adds
to the security of and to that of Families.
“He has solemnly declared, that he accepted all the
conditions proposed by the Allies, and yet those very

Majesty has consented. They not only continue hostili hostilities,

what honor and your country require of you! you will
be faithful to their call. If, till the moment when your
army advances; you assume the proud attitude which be becomes

enemy stop in his rash enterprise ; he will not be mad
enough to dare to penetrate into the midst of a Nation
which rises and takes up arms to stop him.
. “Already the advanced guard of one of our corps has
made these foreigners retire, who counted on pillage, and
have found death! Already they tremble at venturing
further into a warlike country, where they would inert
in every man an enemy, andat every step combat. Their
imagination is terrilled when they think that in their front,-
on their flanks, and in their reat, your national guards
surrounding them on all sides, you would soon deprive
them of subsistence, and of all hopes of return.- They
know that if you sacrifice all that is beyond your limits,
yon will never deliver to them your owen territory.
“Accordingly, they do not much attempt to combat as
to seduce you. They would wish to live for some time at
the expence of a part of your frontiers ; they would extend
lheir pillage only to those places where their feigned mode moderation

who could believe their proclamations and their promises ?

“Inhabitants of the Department of the Aube, the geat geatest

you confidence, and are satisfied with your conduct; you
have just given ta the army hands that were necessary to
it ; you furnish the horses which are required from you.
The Emperor is sensible of the extent of these sacrifices,
and his will is, that these sacrifices shall be the last.

IrtNNER IN JlOtfOß OF TftE EMANCIPATION
OF HOLLAND.
An event of a nature wholly dissimilar in itscircum-l
stances from any that has yet occurred in an age of political!
portents, and almost unparellelled even in its positive
magnitude, might well be thought to demand an expres expression
sion expression of public feeling, from the great and respectable oi
this country (England), proportionate to its importance ;
and, accordingly, the liberation of Holland was, on th th-14th
14th th-14th Dec. celebrated by a public dinner, at the City oi
London Tavern, with magnificence that knows no pre precedent.
cedent. precedent. Ihe Duke of Clarence was the Chairman, anu
wis supported on the right and left, by the Hereditary
Prince of Orange, the Dukes of York and Kent, tog.
ther with his Majesty’s Ministers, and Several distinguished
characters. After dinner, and the grace of “Non Pohis,’
the Luke of Clarence rose to propose the first toast. Hi
said, it was his intention to detain the company as little as
possible with his remarks,* but there were some toasts
which required to be introduced with a few observations,
though others would be so deeply felt as not to demand a
single comment. So it was with the present toast, whicu
he would give at once, without further preface—“ The
King, and God bless him,” with three times three. The
toast was drank with great applause, and “God save the
King,” followed.
The next toast was “The Prince Regent;” then came
“The Queen and the Royel Family.”
The Duke of Clarence then rose and observed, that it
now* became his duty to call their attention to the object
of the meeting. Ashe was addressing men not only oi
education, but vitally concerned in the interests and con consequences
sequences consequences of this day’s assembly, he felt that he could
safely say, that there never had been an occasion more!
glorious or more consoling to the hearts of Englishmen.!
It had frequently been his good fortune to meet the c.ti c.tizens
zens c.tizens of London, and always on occasions gratifying to the
feelings of a free-born Englishman. But was not the !
present one more particulary honorable than the rest
Was it not one at which every bosom should rejoice ; For'
it was no less than the restitution of Holland to her law- 1
fut authorite, and the restoration of the anciei ' relations'
of amity between G rent Britain anil that country. He was
speaking to men acquinted with the history of theii
country; They all knew that in 1688, the Prince of Orange'
came from Holland to establish and consolidate that con-,'
stitution, which was the pride of this country ; which laid'
enabled it, single-handed to contend against Europe; and
which, above all, had led to that train of events, one ol
w hose glorious and peculiary interesting results they wen!
met to celebrate (Huzzas). It must bp delightful forthem
to see at his right Land, on such an occasion, the illnstriJ
ous young hero who w as descended from William the Third.
(Huzzas). -It must be.dclighted for them to contemplate
this country carrying back and restoring to its native land
that family to which we ware so indebted, and with justi
gratitude sending the English Guards to restore a I‘rinct
so related to his natural rights and the country itself to
ifs civil-privileges, immunities, and liberties, (Huzzas).
He would detain them no longer, but give the health oi
His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, the Sovereign
Prince of the Netherlands. (Drank with immense up.
plause).
The Hereditary Prince of Orange rose, am! hi a few
words, but with an interesting maniK-r, expressed his
ggateful feelings for theenthusiastick kindness now shewn
to his fannly ami himself.
This address was received with exceeding applause: and
Mr. Bcaaam then sarg an appropriate song (wrach is given
at the end), in his usual style oi impassioned and eloquent'
expression. j
The Duke of Clarence observed, that his last toast re.
latvd to the House of Orange ; and it was a great satis satisfaction
faction satisfaction that a family* which had suiiercd severely for its’
attachment to this couutiy should be reinstated in the
rights to which it was bom.* He in ust not, however, for forget
get forget the country over which that Prince was placed. There!
was no nation more connected with our own ; its interests
and pursuits were, and had for years been, the very same;
the political feelings were the same also. The unanimous!
burst of joy expressed by this country at the deliverance
of Holland, sufficiently shewed how much this truth w.n
felt. (Huzzas.) No man who was an enemy to Holland
could be a friend to this country ; no man who was a frietiu
to England could be an enemy to Holland, it was an in intcr.rstiug
tcr.rstiug intcr.rstiug circumstance, that when the Aines were approach approaching
ing approaching Holland, and induced her to thuow oil her subjection,
yet the first application of the Dutch was not to the Aines,
but in the true spirit of their old and firm attachment they
came to this country. It was a fortunate thing that tin
Prince of Orange should be at that period in this country,
and should be sent from these shores to his native land on
that great occasion. (Huzzas), He'would now give
“The Emancipation of Holland.” Drank with great
applause : and Mr. Taylor sang a new song caked “The
Change Tree.”
The Royal Duke next gave as a toast, “The Allies who
have so nobly contended lor the re-establishment of tn.
liberties of'Europe.” (Loud applause).
Mr. Brcham then sung “The Death of Abercromby.”
The Duke of Clarence observed, that Mr. Braham’s
song was an appropriate introduction to the toast which
he should now propose. It was at Egypt that our army,
by its subjugation of the French, first shewed in the course
of this war what British troops could Uo. It was now
certain, that they had but to see an enemy’s army to beat
>t: but there never had been a period of greater glory
for the British arms than the present. He should there therefore
fore therefore give “The Duke of York and the Army.” This
toast was received with great applause.
lhe Duke of York returned thanks, saying, that evei
since he had been entrusted with authority, the honor and
dignity of the British arms had engrossed all his attention.
He was happy to see that fame now risen in Spain to an
equality—(itconkl not toa superiority)—with the British
character. (Applause).— Duke of York’s March.
The Duke of York then gave “The Dufc e of Clarence
•nd the Navy.” The illustrious Duke expressed his pccu pccu%
% pccu%

! Uar gratification at being called to the Chair. His Nava’
- education made it peculiar pleasant to him to preside at a
‘.meeting to celebrate the union of two commercial coun countries,
tries, countries, the source whose naval strenght was in a grcai
measure to be attributed to their commerce.—“ Rule
Britannia,” followed.
‘ j Ihe Duke of Clarence said, he was now going to pros
1 a toast, which he knew they would al! drink with eut-
• husiasm: but he must be allowed to say* a few woidi*.
ft should be recollected, that the emancipation, which
1 jwas now so general, had first dawned in Spain. A succes-
â–  sion ot victories had taught the French troops to regard
1 our arms with veneration, and to respect a people fight fighting
ing fighting for their rights, like Spaniards and Portuguese, t<*
whom he paid many just compliments. Such were tin
• consequences of the conduct of Lord Wellington and hi
gallant army. (Huzzas). He did not mean to depreciah
the Duke of Marlborough ; but that illustrious man had
’ powerful Allies, and all the assistance of the most con-;
5 summate art Lord Wellington had fought alone again- •!
: the combined force of France and her Allies. He wotil.'
• now give the health of Lord Wellington, who it should b- j
1 remembered, was at this very moment on the hostile shoe
â– Los France. (Huzzas.) The toast was drank with rap rapturous
turous rapturous applause. Mr. Braham sang an air on tho subjec*
-|of Lord Wellington’s victories. He gave the chorus in ..
(manner which seemed to touch the feelings of all present.
â– |We select it, not for the poetry, for that is exceeding!i!
poor,—but because the sentiment is one of those natural
! which ones find “an echo in every bosom.”
“Now grant ye, guardian Powers,
‘i “That Albion's valiant Son
‘■May live to wear the laurels
[I “He has so nobly won.
i The Duke of Clarence said, he should now propose thi
. health of the illustrious young man, who sat at Ins right
hand. This gallant youth had been educated at Oxford,
where Ik* had left behind him a most distinguished charac charac<
< charac< ter : he had then hastened to embark himself in the great
i cause for which Lord Wellington was fighting. Under
'that immortal Commander he had highly distinguished
himself as a soldier, while his attention to the wounded
/and distressed gained him the loss and respect of ail ranks
/in the British army. He was now recalled to his country
Jo assist his lather in the restoration of himself aud of Hoi-i
â–  land to their ancient rights. Perhaps no young man han!
enjoyed greater advantages: and he was sure, none hadi
I more improved those advantages. (Huzzas.) The health
p < applaus.
! His Serene Higncss returned thanks, saying that the
i/proudest period of his life was that spent under the im-
• mortal Wellington ; and he hoped his future life might bJ
,/filled with periods of equal happiness. He then gave us J
toast “Prosperity to the City of London.”
I Sir Watkin Lewis returned thanks, expressing his jo> â– 
l|.tt th« occasion of the present meeting.
i The Duke of Clarence then proposed ‘‘the health of
> llis Majesty’s Ministers, for the firm stand they li d n.ad.
!m the noble cause.” (Drank zeith great applause ).
! Lord Liverpool returned thanks in the name of them all.
i ille said, that they felt peculiar gratitude at being cun.
. jnected vvith the events celebrated this day . It was tm l
greatest pride of the British Ministry so preserve aud con consolidate
solidate consolidate the union between this cuuntay and Holland, con convinced

i towards the security of the liberties of Lurope.( Applausej.
H I fie Duke oi Clarence then gave “the heamis oi tne
/ ’stew ards,” and Sir C. Flower returned thanks.
1.1 lhe Royal Duke said, he must now propose, with par-;
jicuiai distinction, the health of Mr. Hail, who had been i
jjthe mam promoter of this meeting, and to whom he felt
personally much obligation for his attention and politeness.
lhe health was then drink, and Mr. Hail returnee returneethanks.

that he uid not deserve it: whatever had been done, wa-l

lhe party at the chief table now left the room, but a,
great number remained behind at eleven o’clock, when w> j
â– came away. Mr. Marry art, on the suggestion of Mr. I
Hall, was called to the chair.
Upon tiie whole, the numbers and thy character of the
persons present on so happy* an occasion, will evince to
the Du ten people the joy which has been created amongst
us by the unanimous burst of these our ancient Alkes!
from slavery to freedom, —f.om political annihilation, to'
this re-assumption of a name and station among the nations,

At lenght, our Dispatch Boat arrived here Wednesday last, and brings Barbados 'Papers to the Bth of Marek by those papers we are put in possession of London news' io the 2t)lh January}—The contents of which are'in som) \ measure important, and first claim attention with regard to the mighty armies that they state to be converging to.' wards the French metropolis. To meet those numerous and well.disciplined troops, the French papers would have us believe that their Marshals, with an adequate force, are marching in various directions, and that some of them had already taken up positions which would not only ensure-the safety of the Empire, but also lead to th speedy expulsion of its invaders; yet, scarcely does this intelligence reach before our Government is put in possession of official accounts, that those very stron holds have been entered and passed by the Allies almost | without opposition.—Thus it is evident, that the army ot t France has'been so reduced by its late reverses, as not to * be capable of presenting a sufficient body of soldiers to j repel the coaleced troops at any one of the several points by which they are proceeding into the very heart of that j country; and, as a dernier resort, Bonaparte has issued | a Decree for the immediate formation of the National Guards of Paris, which he is to command in person ana 'rom which service there is hardly any exemption. It is ( with this motley force, then, that the fate of Napoleon is be that, should the Allies remain firm, and, 'avoid any further discussions upon the iubject of Peace there is eve'~y reason to calculate upon an curly termiua. tion of the most detestable dynasty that was ever permit' I ted to be the Scourge of a civilised people, One if the Bourbon Princes had sailed for the head. \ quarters of Lord H ellidgton, and two others were about yo depart for the Continent, in order to join the iillicd. I Monarchs, who, according to the laics dispatches from : hut quarter, were at Basle; it being now understood i hat the Emperor of Austria has no objection to the ret. i oration ol that family to the Throne of France. Meanwhile, Bonaparte is employing stratagems to se.

General Tetteuborn declared that if the Emperor Alexander would permit him to join Lord Wellington, nothing would give him greater pleasure than to pass through France and unite himself, at the foot of the I’yruniees, with 50G0 Cossacks, he would undertake this hold manoeuvre. Paris Papers have arrived to the 16th, and they inform! us that Bonaparte has sent several of his Marshals to fix their head-quarters at diiicreiit places; but we have no| enumeration of the troops under their orders, and we can] no where find any large army assembled.

By the first oi them the Dutch troops, who, to the number of 2000 men, form a part of the garrison of Hamburgh, which consists ; in the whole of 14,000 men are called upon to join the defenders of the good cause, and which has been productive of such good effect that a considerable number, especially of artillerymen, have deserted to us. By the othei the General calls on all the exiled Hamburghers who are able to bear arms to repair to him, with a promise that the punishment of their tormentors shall be left to them.

In various papers the following plan of operations oi the Allies has been published :— Under the-command of the Crown Prince of Sweden, 130,000 men are to enter Holland in a line from Kenlin to the sea. General Blucher commands 115,000 men near Coblentz, on the left side of the Rhine, and he having established a communication with the forces of the Crown Prince, is to proceed in a direction southward. Tbe grand Army" under Field-Marshal Prince Schwart. jzenbeig, composed of 250,000 men, having entered France by Switzerland, is to advance North-west. A great part of this force has already conformed to this arrangement. Air army of 70,000 men, under General Bellegarde , is jto maintain the war in Italy. It cannot long continue, ,as the Italians are impatient to be freed from the Conscription; and as the disagreement between Napoleon and th< (King of Naples will soon obstruct any assistance from the jlatter to the former. The Viceroy of Italy has scarcely hinder his orders 30,000 men, which, by the junction ol ‘Bavaria to the Allies, will be hardly pressed on the left' wiug. Another army of 60,000 meh is destined to enter France! jby Piedmont, with a view to co-operate with Lord Well-; ington, who, it is ailedged, has with him 120,000 men. To' these adding 125,000 men to be employ ed in the siege oi the fortresses, the total co-operating force will amount to 745,000 men, supposing 125,000 besingers to besubstract. id from the several armies, and not to constitute Separate and independent bodies.

FRENCH* PAPERS. PARIS, Jan. s.—The Senatur Count de Scgur, on Arriving at Troyes, addressed to the Inhabitants of the Department of Aube, the following PROCLAMATION. ' “The Senator, Count de £egur, Grand Master of the Ceremonies, Extraordinary Commissioner of It is Majesty in the isth Military Division, to the Inhabitants of the Department of the Aube, j “Gentlemen—France desires peace; tfic whole world ¦is in need of it; the Emperor wills it; and you will soon ?enjoy it, if, at the same moment when the enemy dares to iliuvu.le your frontiers, you continue, like good Frenchj incn, to shew the good spirit, the zeal, and the courage, {which have always distinguished, you. i “The Emperor studs me among you to tell you important-truths, and to speak to you about your dearest interest I “His Majesty knows the evils you have suffered, the (losses you have sustained : his heart has been deeply moved at'them. • . “He had projects more for your glory find for your prosperity ; the inconstancy of the elements, and of his Allies, has prevented the accomplishment of his great designs. “The Emperor prefers the happiness of the people to glory too dearly bought. He has therefore renounced all plans of aggradisement: he has consented to sacrifice plain, i’ul both for himself and for us. In a word, he accepted all the conditions of peace proposed to him by our enemies. “You would then already enjoy this wished for peace, if thosgsame enemies had not thought fit to delay it. Thej defer signing a treaty, the basis of which they have themselves laid down, and during this delay, they perfidious!) endeavour to make you doubt of the pacific intentions oi His Majesty. “No Frenchman can be deceived by them. His Majesty has declared to the Senate, to the Legislative Body, in the face of the Universe, that he desire peace, and that the feels as a Monarch and a Father, how much peace adds to the security of and to that of Families. “He has solemnly declared, that he accepted all the conditions proposed by the Allies, and yet those very enemies delay the conclusion of this peace to which His Majesty has consented. They not only continue hostilities, but they violate the territory of neutral State, they enter France; menace the departments in your neighbourhood. “The Emperor at the head of his armies is going to advance to combat them, if they any longer delay the ¦ I signature of a treaty which they defer without reason. I “Frenchman ! the enemy has entered France—you feel what honor and your country require of you! you will be faithful to their call. If, till the moment when your army advances; you assume the proud attitude which becomes a great people; if-your rapidly organise your National Guards, as you have begun, you will soon see the enemy stop in his rash enterprise ; he will not be mad enough to dare to penetrate into the midst of a Nation which rises and takes up arms to stop him. . “Already the advanced guard of one of our corps has made these foreigners retire, who counted on pillage, and have found death! Already they tremble at venturing further into a warlike country, where they would inert in every man an enemy, andat every step combat. Their imagination is terrilled when they think that in their front,on their flanks, and in their reat, your national guards surrounding them on all sides, you would soon deprive them of subsistence, and of all hopes of return.They know that if you sacrifice all that is beyond your limits, yon will never deliver to them your owen territory. “Accordingly, they do not much attempt to combat as to seduce you. They would wish to live for some time at the expence of a part of your frontiers ; they would extend lheir pillage only to those places where their feigned moderation should find dupes, or hands without arms. But, who could believe their proclamations and their promises ? They promised the Swiss, whose territory they have violated, to treat them like friends, and they have just laid, heavy contributions on the city of Basle. “If they advanced, they would of necessity take possession of your vines, your corn, your flocks, the produce of your manufactures, of your industry. They would pay you on the first day with money, on the second with paper, on the third with blowsand insults; but they will not be able either to terrify or deceive you. “Inhabitants of the Department of the Aube, the geatest tranquility reigns among you ; your magistrates enjoy you confidence, and are satisfied with your conduct; you have just given ta the army hands that were necessary to it ; you furnish the horses which are required from you. The Emperor is sensible of the extent of these sacrifices, and his will is, that these sacrifices shall be the last. “The National Guard, the formation of which has just been ordered, has no other Object than the defence of your nomes, and the maintenance of good order in your populous cities. “On leaving you to repair to the departments nearer our frontiers, aad more threatened by the enemy. I repeat it loyou with the fullest confidence, the danger v. ith which, it was desired to frighten you is nothing ; if you will it is a cloud which the imagination magnifies and which cour; age dispels. “Show yourselves firm and ready to arm ; the Emperor at the head of his brave army approaches, and you will ' soon enjoy a solid peace, which will indemnify you for all jour generous sacrifices. But reflect, fhatsiuce our enemies still defer the peace which they have proposed, the only means of obtaining it speedily is to shew ourselves in a formidable and dignified attitude. “His Majesty himself has just said to the Senate, ‘At the sight of all this people in arms, the enemy will fly or will sign peace on the basis which he has himself proposed. 1 he question no longer is to recover the conquests which ; we had made,” I ersailles, Jan. 13.—The levy of 300,000 men is proceeding with the greatest activity ; and 800 men have set oil for their destination ; other detachments will soon follow. Grenoble, Dec. 30.—The levy of 120,000 men ordered by the Senate on the 9th of October, 1813, has been long since finished. That of 300,000 men has been executed without interruption, and with the greatest order. The number of men going to the different corps of the army already amounts for the last levy, to 1815. They set off in ’ high spirits, and with the greatest enthusiasm. Ghamberi, J an. 7.—They are organizing in onr department a free corps, the composition of which is excellent. Lach commune finishes a volunteer taken from men who have served. General Moreau. The Parisian Journalists have compared Moreau to the Constable de Bourbon, who, in consequence of some offence and ill treatment on the part of Francis I. deserted his country and his Sovereign, and became the most formidable enemy of both, as chief General of the armies of the Emperor Charles y. Bourbon, it is universally known, was killed in an assault upon the city of Rome, leading his troops, who became inutunbus through want of pay, to obtain a barbarous satisfaction of their demands, by the plunder of that opulent and splendid city. The death of their leader, however, served only to stimulate his soldiers ' to fres efforts, and his body, elevated on the shoulders of his comrades, and borne iw his usual place, in the front of the battle, served as a standard, under which all resistance was borne down, and the capital of the Christian world was thus, in fact, stormed—by the spirit and guidance of a dead man ! thus accomplishing a deed the heroism of which cannot efface the criminality of its motives, or the cruelty and outrage of its results; The parallel between the death of Moreau and that of Bourbon, had is good in the grandeur and ultimate success of the enterprise; for we hold that the attempt which placed Bonaparte on his defence at. Dresden, was hut the auspicious commencement of the system which has compelled him, in his farther stages, to fly across the Rhine and fortify himself at Mentz. In the justice of his cause, and the rectitude of his motives and his principles, the hero,' whose loss Europe now beAails, is above all comparison with the object of the parallel. A Mail to be forwarded to Barbados by the Dispatch Boat Harriet Elizabeth, will be made up t at the Post Office here, on Sunday the2oth inst. at 2 o’clock p. m.

IrtNNER IN JlOtfOß OF TftE EMANCIPATION OF HOLLAND. An event of a nature wholly dissimilar in itscircum-l stances from any that has yet occurred in an age of political! portents, and almost unparellelled even in its positive magnitude, might well be thought to demand an expression of public feeling, from the great and respectable oi this country (England), proportionate to its importance ; and, accordingly, the liberation of Holland was, on th14th Dec. celebrated by a public dinner, at the City oi London Tavern, with magnificence that knows no precedent. Ihe Duke of Clarence was the Chairman, anu wis supported on the right and left, by the Hereditary Prince of Orange, the Dukes of York and Kent, tog. ther with his Majesty’s Ministers, and Several distinguished characters. After dinner, and the grace of “Non Pohis,’ the Luke of Clarence rose to propose the first toast. Hi said, it was his intention to detain the company as little as possible with his remarks,* but there were some toasts which required to be introduced with a few observations, though others would be so deeply felt as not to demand a single comment. So it was with the present toast, whicu he would give at once, without further preface—“ The King, and God bless him,” with three times three. The toast was drank with great applause, and “God save the King,” followed. The next toast was “The Prince Regent;” then came “The Queen and the Royel Family.” The Duke of Clarence then rose and observed, that it now* became his duty to call their attention to the object of the meeting. Ashe was addressing men not only oi education, but vitally concerned in the interests and consequences of this day’s assembly, he felt that he could safely say, that there never had been an occasion more! glorious or more consoling to the hearts of Englishmen.! It had frequently been his good fortune to meet the c.tizens of London, and always on occasions gratifying to the feelings of a free-born Englishman. But was not the ! present one more particulary honorable than the rest Was it not one at which every bosom should rejoice ; For' it was no less than the restitution of Holland to her law1 fut authorite, and the restoration of the anciei ' relations' of amity between G rent Britain anil that country. He was speaking to men acquinted with the history of theii country; They all knew that in 1688, the Prince of Orange' came from Holland to establish and consolidate that con-,' stitution, which was the pride of this country ; which laid' enabled it, single-handed to contend against Europe; and which, above all, had led to that train of events, one ol w hose glorious and peculiary interesting results they wen! met to celebrate (Huzzas). It must bp delightful forthem to see at his right Land, on such an occasion, the illnstriJ ous young hero who w as descended from William the Third. (Huzzas). -It must be.dclighted for them to contemplate this country carrying back and restoring to its native land that family to which we ware so indebted, and with justi gratitude sending the English Guards to restore a I‘rinct so related to his natural rights and the country itself to ifs civil-privileges, immunities, and liberties, (Huzzas). He would detain them no longer, but give the health oi His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, the Sovereign Prince of the Netherlands. (Drank with immense up. plause). The Hereditary Prince of Orange rose, am! hi a few words, but with an interesting maniK-r, expressed his ggateful feelings for theenthusiastick kindness now shewn to his fannly ami himself. This address was received with exceeding applause: and Mr. Bcaaam then sarg an appropriate song (wrach is given at the end), in his usual style oi impassioned and eloquent' expression. j The Duke of Clarence observed, that his last toast re. latvd to the House of Orange ; and it was a great satisfaction that a family* which had suiiercd severely for its’ attachment to this couutiy should be reinstated in the rights to which it was bom.* He in ust not, however, forget the country over which that Prince was placed. There! was no nation more connected with our own ; its interests and pursuits were, and had for years been, the very same; the political feelings were the same also. The unanimous! burst of joy expressed by this country at the deliverance of Holland, sufficiently shewed how much this truth w.n felt. (Huzzas.) No man who was an enemy to Holland could be a friend to this country ; no man who was a frietiu to England could be an enemy to Holland, it was an intcr.rstiug circumstance, that when the Aines were approaching Holland, and induced her to thuow oil her subjection, yet the first application of the Dutch was not to the Aines, but in the true spirit of their old and firm attachment they came to this country. It was a fortunate thing that tin Prince of Orange should be at that period in this country, and should be sent from these shores to his native land on that great occasion. (Huzzas), He'would now give “The Emancipation of Holland.” Drank with great applause : and Mr. Taylor sang a new song caked “The Change Tree.” The Royal Duke next gave as a toast, “The Allies who have so nobly contended lor the re-establishment of tn. liberties of'Europe.” (Loud applause). Mr. Brcham then sung “The Death of Abercromby.” The Duke of Clarence observed, that Mr. Braham’s song was an appropriate introduction to the toast which he should now propose. It was at Egypt that our army, by its subjugation of the French, first shewed in the course of this war what British troops could Uo. It was now certain, that they had but to see an enemy’s army to beat >t: but there never had been a period of greater glory for the British arms than the present. He should therefore give “The Duke of York and the Army.” This toast was received with great applause. lhe Duke of York returned thanks, saying, that evei since he had been entrusted with authority, the honor and dignity of the British arms had engrossed all his attention. He was happy to see that fame now risen in Spain to an equality—(itconkl not toa superiority)—with the British character. (Applause).— Duke of York’s March. The Duke of York then gave “The Dufc e of Clarence •nd the Navy.” The illustrious Duke expressed his pccu% ! Uar gratification at being called to the Chair. His Nava’ education made it peculiar pleasant to him to preside at a ‘.meeting to celebrate the union of two commercial countries, the source whose naval strenght was in a grcai measure to be attributed to their commerce.—“ Rule Britannia,” followed. ‘ j Ihe Duke of Clarence said, he was now going to pros 1 a toast, which he knew they would al! drink with eut• husiasm: but he must be allowed to say* a few woidi*. ft should be recollected, that the emancipation, which 1 jwas now so general, had first dawned in Spain. A succes¦ sion ot victories had taught the French troops to regard 1 our arms with veneration, and to respect a people fighting for their rights, like Spaniards and Portuguese, t<* whom he paid many just compliments. Such were tin • consequences of the conduct of Lord Wellington and hi gallant army. (Huzzas). He did not mean to depreciah the Duke of Marlborough ; but that illustrious man had ’ powerful Allies, and all the assistance of the most con-; 5 summate art Lord Wellington had fought alone again•! : the combined force of France and her Allies. He wotil.' • now give the health of Lord Wellington, who it should bj 1 remembered, was at this very moment on the hostile shoe ¦Los France. (Huzzas.) The toast was drank with rapturous applause. Mr. Braham sang an air on tho subjec* -|of Lord Wellington’s victories. He gave the chorus in .. (manner which seemed to touch the feelings of all present. ¦|We select it, not for the poetry, for that is exceeding!i! poor,—but because the sentiment is one of those natural ! which ones find “an echo in every bosom.” “Now grant ye, guardian Powers, ‘i “That Albion's valiant Son ‘¦May live to wear the laurels [I “He has so nobly won. i The Duke of Clarence said, he should now propose thi . health of the illustrious young man, who sat at Ins right hand. This gallant youth had been educated at Oxford, where Ik* had left behind him a most distinguished charac< ter : he had then hastened to embark himself in the great i cause for which Lord Wellington was fighting. Under 'that immortal Commander he had highly distinguished himself as a soldier, while his attention to the wounded /and distressed gained him the loss and respect of ail ranks /in the British army. He was now recalled to his country Jo assist his lather in the restoration of himself aud of Hoi-i ¦ land to their ancient rights. Perhaps no young man han! enjoyed greater advantages: and he was sure, none hadi I more improved those advantages. (Huzzas.) The health p < ¦ l|.tt th« occasion of the present meeting. i The Duke of Clarence then proposed ‘‘the health of > llis Majesty’s Ministers, for the firm stand they li d n.ad. !m the noble cause.” (Drank zeith great applause ). ! Lord Liverpool returned thanks in the name of them all. i ille said, that they felt peculiar gratitude at being cun. . jnected vvith the events celebrated this day . It was tm l greatest pride of the British Ministry so preserve aud consolidate the union between this cuuntay and Holland, convinced as they were that this would be one effectual step' i towards the security of the liberties of Lurope.( Applausej. H I fie Duke oi Clarence then gave “the heamis oi tne / ’stew ards,” and Sir C. Flower returned thanks. 1.1 lhe Royal Duke said, he must now propose, with par-; jicuiai distinction, the health of Mr. Hail, who had been i jjthe mam promoter of this meeting, and to whom he felt personally much obligation for his attention and politeness. lhe health was then drink, and Mr. Hail returneethanks. He regretted bis inability to give a proper auswci •I to tiie high compliment which had been paidjimi. He feii| that he uid not deserve it: whatever had been done, wa-l ¦owing to the exertions of his fellow-stewards. He trusted,) /indeed, that their joint edeavours had been productive oi (pleasure to the company. ‘ lhe party at the chief table now left the room, but a, great number remained behind at eleven o’clock, when w> j ¦came away. Mr. Marry art, on the suggestion of Mr. I Hall, was called to the chair. Upon tiie whole, the numbers and thy character of the persons present on so happy* an occasion, will evince to the Du ten people the joy which has been created amongst us by the unanimous burst of these our ancient Alkes! from slavery to freedom, —f.om political annihilation, to' this re-assumption of a name and station among the nations, of Europe : while, at the same time, the preparations foi he reception of such a company were so happily made as i to combine the most splendid incitements to joy and festivity with all the personal convenieneies which the most correct domestic establishment can aiiord. The front of the house was brilliantly and appropri' ately illuminated. t ORANJE BOVEN! A PATRIOTIC SONG, Sung at the Grand Dinner given in honor of the Emancipation of Holland.
