- 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.

PRESIDENT MADISON & GEN. TURREAU.
The French Minister in America.
Mr. Madison appears, by the American papers, to have
brought his Government into the most degrading of all si situations,
tuations, situations, to be despised and insulted, even by the Power
for whose interests he went to war ; for it is uo longer
now, we appreheded, a matter of doubt with any one, that
America was plunged into a war which this country in
order that she might propitiate Bonaparte. We have aL
ready mentioned that the President had received a very in*
soient letter from the French Minister, Gen. Turreau.
1 his letter has been published in one American paper, and
other papers, which we have received, comment upon ami
give extracts from it. The American official paper, the
Motional Intelligencer, is one. The letters professes to
be written by the Minister of France, in his official capa capacity,
city, capacity, to Robert Smith, Esq. Secretary of the United Sta States;
tes; States; and the tollowing is the substance of it as given in
these papers.—“ Gen. Terreau, Minister of France ‘in the
name of his master, the Emperor and King Napoleon *
and ‘of the whole Empire of France,’ declares our Go*,
vernment 'looks to nothing in Us treaties, but to the in.
terestsof its foreign commerce,' aud by contradistinguish contradistinguishing
ing contradistinguishing it from the universally just, enlarged, and liberal po policy
licy policy of France, unequivocally charges our Government
with injustice, niggardly selfishness, cramped ignorance,
and iliberality. He informs the Secretary, that France
"wants no treaty of comerce" with us, and that, if we
want one, we must pay for coudes coudesccnsiou

peror Emperor and King Napoleon. The rest of the letter is a
partial and unjust recital of‘offences’ he maintains France
has rec*>ved of the Government and the people of the
United States.’’
Such is the snbstance of Gen. Turrean’s letter to the
American Secretary of State. Now what was the manner
in which it was received ? Our readers, perhaps, are pre prepared
pared prepared to hear, that the American President, at last,
“threw off his patience†and his submission to France,
•nd, “stripped of unwhorty disguises,†sent away this
insolent Frenchman from the American territories, and
made a bold and indignant appeal to his countrymen.
No such thing. Meanness never dictated a more degrad degrading
ing degrading step than the American Government resorted to.
The papers inform us, that “two of our most eminent
(what eminence!) political characters were successively
sent to Turreau to persuade him to withdraw his letter,
but in both instance he persisted in justifying his remarks,
and refused to withdraw his letter; that at last, however,
after a considerable lapse of time, he had it withdrawn by
his Secretary, without any apology. †—And Turreau re remains

A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was last
night received at Earl Bathurst’s Office, addressed to ins
Lordship by General Sir Thomas Graham, datud Merxem,
Feb. 6, 1814.
Head-quarters, Merxem, Feb. 6, 1814.
My Lord —1 should have been happy to have had to
announce to your Lordship, that the inurement on Ant Antwerp,
werp, Antwerp, fixed by Gen. Bulow for the 2d inst. had produced
a greater effect; but the want of time, and of greater
means, will account to your Lordship for the disappoint disappointment
ment disappointment of our hopes of a more satisfactory result; for Gen.
Bulow received (alter we had got the better of all the
greater obstacles in the way of taking a position near the
town) orders to proceed to the southward to act in con concert
cert concert with the grand army ; and the state of the weather,
for some time back, not only prevented my receiving the
supplies of ordnance and ordnance stores from England,
but made itiinpossible to land much of what was on board
the transports near Williamstadt, the ice cutting off all
communication with them.—l have, however, sincere plea pleasure

the serviceable Dutch mortars, with ail the ammunition
that could ba collected, were prepared at Williamstadt

second divisions, that could be spared from other service
•were collected at Braeschut, and next morning this village
(fortified with much labour ever since our former attack)
was carried in the most gallant style, in a much shorter
time, and with much less loss than 1 could have believed
possible.—Major-Gen. Gibbs, comuiauding the 2d divi division

by a dangerous fall from his horse), ably seconded by

caunon, and a considerable number of prisoners, fell into
our hands.—No time was lost in marking out batteries,
which, by the very great exertions of the artillery, under
Lt—Col. Sir G. Wood, and the Engineers, under Lt—Col.
C. Smyth, and the good will of the working parties, were
completed by half.past three p. m. of the 3d.—The batte batteries,

short trial of the fire of that evening, the defective state of
the Williamstadt mortars and ammunition was too visible.

as it was not till 12 at noon the following day (the 4th),
that the fire could be opened again.!—That day’s fire dis disabled

kept up all day with as p. margin+ . The practice was
admirable, but there was not a sufficient number of shells
falling to prevent the enemy from extinguishing the fire

to speak too highly of the indefatigable exertion* of the

The following have been addressed to Earl Bathurst, by
Major Macdonald:—
Oliva, near Dant Ac, toth Jan.
My Lord—l have the honour to inform your Lord Lordship,
ship, Lordship, that the city and fortifications of Dantzic, were taken
possession of by the allied troops on the2u nut.
Ills Majesty the Emperor of Russia having refused to
ratify the principal articles of the capitulation for the sur.
render ui Dantzic, of which 1 have had the honour of
transmitting a copy to your Lordship. Gtu. Rapp, who
commanded the garrison, has been obliged to accede to
terms which were proposed to him by his Highness the
Duke of Wirtemberg on the 29th ult. by which the whole
of the French, with the few Neapolitan and Italian troops
that were in the place, to the number of 11,800, have be become
come become prisoners of war, and arc to be conducted to Russia.
— The Poles, amounting to 3500, are to be disbanded
and permitted to return to their homes. The remainder of
the garrison, with the exception of 190 Dutch, mostly ar.
tillerymen, was composed of troops belonging to those
States which formed the Confederation of the Rhine, who
may be estimated at 2300, and a battalion of 370 Spani.
ards and Portuguese, who were employed as labourers in
repairing the fortifications. The former, including the
Dutch troops, are immed.ately to be placed at the disposal
of their respective Sovereigns; and will, I trust, ere lonv
appear in the rank, of Ur. .IM ar„,i t ,! The tatter"
whom it is but justice to observe, that they resisted every
attempt that was made to prevail on them to carry arms
against the besiegers, will remain in this country, and be
maintained at the ex pence of the Russian Government un until
til until an opportunity offers of forwarding them to England.

Having examined the fortifications of Dantzic, I am'io B
enabled to inform your Lordship that they might haveV E c
defended until the month of May, had not the greater iL B 1
of the enemy’s provisions been destroyed with the n;j./H 1
zines which were burnt by the fire of tne batteries ’'H ]
The reasons which principally induced his Serene I
ness in grrnting to the garrison the former comparative-1
favorable capitulation, where, the impracticability of Con J I
tinning any longer to carry on approaches at so idvancqß
a sea on, and the great advantage arising from the <>t c j B
pation of the works of the Wester Plat and the Tabrtraj, I
ser, which that capitulation gave him the immediate poj, I
session of, and by which the enemy was cut off from .41
communication from theses, it being well kunwn
every effort would be made by the Danish to throw tun K
plies into the place, immediately that our cruizers werjP J
obliged to quit the station. i
The system of exaction which has been practised br I? '
the French since they have had possession of Dantzic bar’ 1
borne hard on all rank of people, and by whicq many rfE J
the most respectable inhabitants have been robbeduf they â– 1
property, and reduced from affluence to a comparafin r

Fort George, Dec. 12, 1813.
Sir—Having obtained information that the enemy had
determined on driving the country between Fort Georg*
and the advance, and was carrying off the loyal part of
the inhabitant*, notwithstanding the inclemency of the
season, I deemed it my duty to make a rapid and forced
march towards him with the light troop* under my com.
mand, which not only frustrated his designs, but com compe
pe compe led him to evacuate Fort George, by precipitately
sing the river and abandoning the Niagara frontier. Oa
learning our approach, he laid the town of Newark in
ashes, passing over his cannon and stores, but failing ia
an attempt to destroy the fortifications, which are evi evidently
dently evidently so much strengthened whilst in his posse«sion, a*
might enable Gen. M’Clure (the commanding officer)) to
have maintained a regular siege; but such wa* the appa apparent

TO THE INHABITANS OF HIS MAJESTY’S PROVINCES IN
NORTH AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION.
The complete succes which has attended His Majesty’s
Arms on the Nieagara frontier, having placed in our pos possession
session possession the whole of the enmy’s posts on that line, it be became
came became a matter of imperious duty to retaliate on America
the miseries which the unfortunate inhabitahts of Newark
had been made to suffer upon the evacuation of Fort
George.—The villages of Lewiston, Black Rock, and
Buffalo, have accordingly bteu burned.—At the same time
that His Excellency the Commander of the Forces sin sincerely
cerely sincerely deprecates this mode of warfare, he trusts that it
will be sufficient to call the attention of every candid and
impartial person, both amongst ourselves and the enemy,
to the circumstances from which it has arisen, to satisfy
them that this departure from the established usages of
war has originated with America herself, and that to her
alone are justly chargeable, ah the awful and unhappy
consequences which have hitherto llowed, and are likely
to result romit.—lt is not necessary to advert to the con conduct
duct conduct of the troop employed on the American coast, in
jonjnnction with His Majesty’s squadrin under Admiral
Sir John. B. War ran, since, as they were neither within
the command, nor subject to the controul of His Excel Excellency,
lency, Excellency, their acts cannot be ascribed to him, even if they
wanted that justification which the circumstances that oc occasioned
casioned occasioned them so maply afford.—it will be sufficient for
the present purpose, and in order to mark the character of
the war, as carried on upon the frontier of these provinces,
to trace the line of conduct observed by His Excellency,
and the troops under his command, since the commence commencement
ment commencement of hostilities, and to contrast it with that of the
enemy. —The first invasion of Upper Canada took place
in July, 1812, when the American forces, under Brig.
Gen. Hull, crosed over and took possession of Sandwich,
where they began to manifest a disposition so different
from that of a magnanimous enemy, and which they have
peculiar resentment, the loyal subjects of His Majesty,
and iu dooming their property to plunder and conliagia conliagiation.
tion. conliagiation. Various instances of this kind occurred both at
Sandwich and in its neighbourhood, at the very period
when His Majesty’s standaid was waving upon the fort of
Michi imackioac, and affording protection to the persons
and property of those who had submitted to it. Within
a few weeks afterwards, the British flag was hoisted on
the fortress of Detroit, which, together with the whole of
the Michigan territory, had surrendered to Hi»Majesty*s
arms.—Had not His Excellency been actuated by senti sentiments
ments sentiments far ditt- rent from those which had influenced tin
American Government, and the persons employed by it,
in the wanton acts of the destruction of private property,
committed, daring their short occupation of a part of
Upper Canada, His Excellency could have availed himself
of th,e opportunity which the undist'irbed possession of
the whole of the Michigan territory afforded him, of amply
retaliating for the devastating system which had been pur pursued
sued pursued at Sandwich and on the Thames. But strictly in
conformity to the views and disposition of his own Govern Government,
ment, Government, and to that liberal and magnanimous policy which
it had dictated, he chose rather to forbear an imitation of
the enemy’s example, in the hope that such forbearance
would be duly appreciated by the Government of the Unit,
ed States, and would produce a return to the more civiliz.
ed usages of wa-. The persons and property, therefore,
of the inhabitants of the Michigan territory, were respect respected,
ed, respected, and remained unmolested, in the winter of the fol following
lowing following year, when the success which attended the daring
and gallant enterprise against Ogdensburgh had placed that
populous and florishing village in our possession, the ge generosity
nerosity generosity of the British character was again conspicuous,
in the scrupulous preservation of every article which could
be considered as private property ; such public buildings
only being destroyed as were used for the accommodation
•f troops and for public stores.—The destruction of the
•netny’s forces in the nei_hbourhood, laid open the whole
of their frontier on the St. Lawrence, to the incursions
of His Majesty’s troops ; and Hamilton, as well as the
numerous settlements on the banks of the river, might at
any hour, had such been the intention of His Majesty’s
Government, or of those acting under it, been plundered
and laid waste. —During the course of the following sum summer,
mer, summer, by the fortunate result of the enterpris against Platts,
burgh, that town was for several hours in the complete
possession of our troops, there not being any force in the
â– eighliourbood which could attempt a resistance. Yet
•ven there, under circumstances of strong temptation, and
when the recent example of the enemy in the wanton des.
truction at York, of private property, and buildings not
ksed for military purpose, must have been fresh in the
recollection of the forces amployed on that occasion, and
Would have justified a retaliation on their part, thiir for.
bearance was strongly manifested, and the directions His
Excellency had given to the commander of that expedition
»o scrupulously obeyed, that scarcely can another in.
•tance be shewn in which, during a state of war, and nn.
similar circumstances, an enemy, so completely under
the power and at the mercy of their adversaries, had so
little cause of complaint.
During the course of the same summer, Forts Schlosser
•ud Rott were surprised and taken by rfpart of the
forces under the command of Major.Gcn. de RoHenSnrg
on the Niagara frontier, at both of which places personal
property was respected, and the public buildings alone
were destroyed.—lt was certainly matter of just and rea reasonable
sonable reasonable expectation* that the humane and liberal course
of conduct pursued by His Excellency on those different
occasions, would have had its due weight on the Ameri American
can American Government, and would have led u to have abstained,
in the further prosecution of the war, from any acts oi
wantonness or violence, which could only tend unneces unnecessarily
sarily unnecessarily to add to its ordinary calamities, anil to bring down
upon their unoffending citizens a retaliation, w inch, though
distant, they must have known would await aud certainly
follow such conduct.— Undeterred, however, by His Ex Excellency’s
cellency’s Excellency’s example of moderation, or by any of tm con consequences
sequences consequences to be apprehended from the adoption of such
barbarous measures, the American forces at Fort George,
acting as there is every reason to believe, under the or orders,
ders, orders, or with the approbation of their Government, for
some time previous to their evacuation of that fortress,
varioui pretensions, burned and destroyed the farm houses
and buildings of many of the respectable and peaceable
inhabitants of that neighbourhood.—But the full measure
of this species of barbarity remained to be completed at a
season when all its horrors might be more fully and kend kendly
ly kendly felt by those who were to become the wretched victims
of it. It will hardly be credited by those who shal here hereafter
after hereafter read it in the .age of history, that in the enlighten enlightened
ed enlightened era of the 19tl: century, and in the inclemency of a
Canadian winter, ti.e iroops of a nation calling itself ci civilized
vilized civilized and Christian, ha J wantonly, and without the
shadow of a pretext, forced lUO helpless woman and chil children
dren children to quit their dwellings, and to bed mournful spect spectator
ator spectator of the couflagi-i’ion and tutu. destruction of alt that
belonged to them. Vet, such was th fate of Newark ou
the 10th Dec. last, a day winch the inhabitants of Uppei
Canada can never foiget, and the recollect.on of which
cannot but nerve their arms wu.-ii opposed to their vindic vindictive
tive vindictive foe* On the night oi th.it day, the American troops
under Brig.-Gen. M‘U...rc, bene; about to evacuate Fort
George, which they could no I .n.tr retain, by an act of
inhumanity disgraceful so tiie.osdvev and to the nation to
wh.ch they belong, set lire to upwards of 15') houses,
composing the beautiful village oi .Newark, and burned
them to the giound, leaving w .u; >ut covering shelter those
“innocent, unfortunate, and distressed inhabita ts,†whom
that Officer, by his Proclamation, lad previously engag engaged
ed engaged to protect.—His Exe.lkncy would have ill consulted
the honor of his country, and the justice due to His Ma Majesty’s
jesty’s Majesty’s injured ana iiisuded subjects, had he permuted an
act of such need.ess cruelty to pass unpunished, or had ne
failed to visit, whenevtr tne opportunity arrived, upon
the inhabitants of the neighbouring American frontier, the
calamities thus inflicted upon thu.se of our own.—The op opportunity
portunity opportunity occurred, atid a full measure of retaliation has
taken place, surh as it is iiopcd w ill teach the enemy to
respect, in future, the.laws of wai, and recal him to sense
of whatisdue to'himseif as well as us.—Li the future pro proseenti
seenti proseenti hi of the contest to winch so extraordinary a charact charactr
r charactr has biun given, His Excellency must be guided by the
course of conduct wi.ich the enemy shall hereafter pur purpose.—
pose.— purpose.— Lamenting, as Ins ExceLtncy does, the necessity
imposed upon him of retaliaiing upon the subjects of Ame America
rica America the miseries inflicted on the inhabitants of Newark, it
is not his intern ion to pursue further a system of warfare
so revolting to his own feelings, and so little Congenial to
the British character, unless the future measures of the
enemy should compel him again to resort to it.—To those
possessions of the enemy along the whole line of frontier
which have hitherto remained undisturbed, and wnich arc arcare
are arcare now within His Excellency’s reach, and at the mercy
of the troops under his command, His Excellency has de determined
termined determined to extend the same forbearance and the same free freedom
dom freedom from rapine and plunder, which they have hitherto
experienced; and from this determination the future cun.
duct of the American Govc-rnmeut shall alone induce His
Excellency to depart.—The inhabitants of these provinces
will, in the mean time, be prepared to resist, with firm,
nets and courage, w hatever attempts the resentment of the
enemy, arising from their disgrance and their merited suf sufferings,
ferings, sufferings, may lead them to make, well asserted they w ill be
powerfully assisted at all points by the troops under His
Excellency’s comma. and that prompt and signal ven vengeance

subsist between enlightened and civilized nations.—Given

THE POSTMASTEIToFDARLINGTON.
About the year 1730, Mr. Edward Walpole (afterwards
Sir Edward, Kuightofthe Bath) returned from his tra travels
vels travels on the Continent, where the munificence of his father,
Sir Robert Walpole, the premier of England, had enabled
him to make a brilliant figure; and so very engaging was
he found by the ladies, that he had no other appellation
in Italy than that of “the handsome Englishman.†Mr.
Walpole had lodgings taken for him, on his return, at a
Mrs. Rennie’s, a child’s coai-makcr, at the bottom of
Pall-Mail. On returning from visits, or public places,
be often passed a quarter of an hour in that w ith the young
women of the shop. Among them was one who had it in
her power to make him forget the Italians, and all the
beauties of the English court. Her name was Clement;
her father was at that time, or soon after, postmaster at
Darlington, a place of 501. p. annum, on which he subsist subsisted
ed subsisted a large family. This young woman had been bound
apprentice to Mrs. Rennie, and was employed in, the
usual duties of such a situation, which she discharged (as
the old lady used to say ) honestly aud soberly. Her
parents, however, from their exfrme p • f
ply her but very Sj aiingly with >

Mrs. Rennie had begtiii to suspect : i a ccihk-ch. v , ir

immediately came uptown to carry her out of iM- -on. <
of temptation. The good old man met his daughter wii.fr'
tears; he told her his suspicions ; ami that hr shoi- 4 car carry
ry carry her home, where, by living with sobriety and prmi. n< ,
she might chance to be married to some decent hades.
The girl, in appearance, acquiesed ; but whilst her ia i iand
and iand mistress were discoursing in a little dark parlour L -.
hind the shop, the object of their cares s ip. id out, and,
without hat or cloak, ran directly through Pall-Mall, to
Sir Edward’s house, at the top oi it (that 'atey inhabited
by Mrs. Keppel), where, the porur knowing her, she was
admitted, though his master was absent. She went into
•he parlour, where the table was covered for dinner, and
impatiently waited his return. The moment came; Sir
Edward entered, and was h -ard to exclaim with great joy.
—“Ton, here -What explanatio ■> took place were of
course m , rivate ; bet the fair fugitive sat dow n that day
at the head of his table, and never after left it.—The fruits
of this connection were the late Mrs. Keppel • M aria, the
iate Duchess of Gloucester, the second; Lao, Dysart,
the third; and Col. Walpole, the fourth ; in the birth of
whom, or soon after, the mother died. Never could fond fondness
ness fondness exceed that which Sir Edward always ch'-rishedfoi
the mother of his children; nor was it confined to h ror
them only, but extended itself to her relations, for a • ;
whom he some way or other provided. His gn t
loss was proportioned to his affection. He const;
timed all overtures of marriage, and gave t-p his
the education of his children. He had often been pre:. J
to unite himself to Miss Clement by legal ti-s, bi t t. â– >
threats of his father, Sir Robert, prevented hi marrt
who avowed, that if he mairied Miss Clem.nt, he v<;
not only deprive him of his political interest, but exert ic

had access to know, that had Miss t’lec ent survived Si-

now took a rank in society iu which they had never before
moved. The sisters of the i-; oi All . marie were their
constant companions, and introduced them io people of
quality and fashion; they constantly appeared at i.e first
routes aud balls; and, in a word, were receivid every
where but at court. The stigma attending their l>i...i

in the case of Mrs Keppel) had covtred the defect, and
given them the rank of another family. No out w it.' e

short one, and having conquered his own difficulties, it
now only remained to attach the lady’s, who had no pr _
possession, and Lord Waid-grave, though voung, was
not disagreable. Her very amiable conduct If.rimgh the
whole life of her lord, added reepect and este< m to the
warmest admiration. About five years after their mar marriage,

fatal. His lady found herself a y oung widow, incon inconsolable*

she emerged again into the world, and love and admiration

amongst others, the Duke of Portland loudly proclaimed
his discontent at her refusal.—But the daughter of M oy

mad insolente, encouraged by the infinite liberty of speaking, Writing, and printing, dure to speak, endprint audacious things against France, her institutions, and the sucred persons of her august representative, the Emperor and King Napoleon. The rest of the letter is a partial and unjust recital of‘offences’ he maintains France has rec*>ved of the Government and the people of the United States.’’ Such is the snbstance of Gen. Turrean’s letter to the American Secretary of State. Now what was the manner in which it was received ? Our readers, perhaps, are prepared to hear, that the American President, at last, “threw off his patience” and his submission to France, •nd, “stripped of unwhorty disguises,” sent away this insolent Frenchman from the American territories, and made a bold and indignant appeal to his countrymen. No such thing. Meanness never dictated a more degrading step than the American Government resorted to. The papers inform us, that “two of our most eminent (what eminence!) political characters were successively sent to Turreau to persuade him to withdraw his letter, but in both instance he persisted in justifying his remarks, and refused to withdraw his letter; that at last, however, after a considerable lapse of time, he had it withdrawn by his Secretary, without any apology. ” —And Turreau remains at Washington, Minister from France to the American Government!

LONDON. WAR DEPARTMENT. Downing-street, Feb. 13, 1814. A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was last night received at Earl Bathurst’s Office, addressed to ins Lordship by General Sir Thomas Graham, datud Merxem, Feb. 6, 1814. Head-quarters, Merxem, Feb. 6, 1814. My Lord —1 should have been happy to have had to announce to your Lordship, that the inurement on Antwerp, fixed by Gen. Bulow for the 2d inst. had produced a greater effect; but the want of time, and of greater means, will account to your Lordship for the disappointment of our hopes of a more satisfactory result; for Gen. Bulow received (alter we had got the better of all the greater obstacles in the way of taking a position near the town) orders to proceed to the southward to act in concert with the grand army ; and the state of the weather, for some time back, not only prevented my receiving the supplies of ordnance and ordnance stores from England, but made itiinpossible to land much of what was on board the transports near Williamstadt, the ice cutting off all communication with them.—l have, however, sincere pleasure in assuring jour Lordship, thatuvery part of the service was conducted by the Officers at the head of the different departments, withall the zeal and intelligence possible.— To make up for the want of our own artillery, a 1 the serviceable Dutch mortars, with ail the ammunition that could ba collected, were prepared at Williamstadt •nd, on the evening of the first, the troops of the first and second divisions, that could be spared from other service •were collected at Braeschut, and next morning this village (fortified with much labour ever since our former attack) was carried in the most gallant style, in a much shorter time, and with much less loss than 1 could have believed possible.—Major-Gen. Gibbs, comuiauding the 2d division (in the absence of Major-Gen. Mackenzie, confined by a dangerous fall from his horse), ably seconded by Major-Gen. Taylor, and by Lt-Col. Berries, command, ing Major-Gen. Gibbs’s brigade, conducted this attack in which all the troops engaged behaved with the usual spirit and intrepidity of British soldiers.—l feel particularly indebted to the Officers already named, and also to Lt-Col Cameron, commanding the detachments of the three battalions of the 25th; to Lt-Col. Hompesch, with the 95ih regt.; to Major A. Kelly, with the 56th • and Major Kelly, with the 73d ; for the distinguished manner in which those corps attacked the left and centre of (he vil lage, forcing the enemy from every strong hold, and storml iug the mill battery on Ferdinand’s Dukes: while Majorfcws. Taylor, with the 52d, under Lt.-Col» Gibbs, the 55th, under Major Macaliser, and the 78th,. under LieutCol. Lindsay, marching to the right, and directly on the mill of Ferdinand’s Dyke, threatened the enemy’s communication from Merxem towards Antwerp.—Two pieces of caunon, and a considerable number of prisoners, fell into our hands.—No time was lost in marking out batteries, which, by the very great exertions of the artillery, under Lt—Col. Sir G. Wood, and the Engineers, under Lt—Col. C. Smyth, and the good will of the working parties, were completed by half.past three p. m. of the 3d.—The batteries, as p. margin*, opened at that hour. During the short trial of the fire of that evening, the defective state of the Williamstadt mortars and ammunition was too visible. —Our means were thus diminished and much time was lost, as it was not till 12 at noon the following day (the 4th), that the fire could be opened again.!—That day’s fire disabled fire of the six 24-pounders. Yesterday the fire was kept up all day with as p. margin+ . The practice was admirable, but there was not a sufficient number of shells falling to prevent the enemy from extinguishing the fire w henever it broke out among the ships, and our fire ceased entirely at sun-set yesterday.—lt is impossible for me to speak too highly of the indefatigable exertion* of the two branches of the Ordnance Department.—l have much reason to be satisfied with the steadiness of the troops, and the attention of the Officers of all ranks, during the continuance of this service. Detachments of therihe corps did the most advanced duty, under the able direction of LtCol. Cameron, in away that gave security to the batteries on Ferdinand’s Dyke, and though this line was enfiladed, and every part of the village under the range of sliu' and shells from the enemy, I am happy to say the casualties, on the whole, have not been numetotis.—As soon as every thing is cleared away, we shah move back into such cantonments as 1 have concerted with Gen. Bulow.—l cannot conclude this dispatch without expressing my admiration of the manner in which Gen. Bulow formed the dis. position of the movement and supported this attack.—The enemy were in great force on the Deurne and Bercben roads, but were every where d ivtti by the gallant Prussians, though not without considerable loss. — I have the honor to be, &c.

The remainder of the garrison, with the exception of 190 Dutch, mostly ar. tillerymen, was composed of troops belonging to those States which formed the Confederation of the Rhine, who may be estimated at 2300, and a battalion of 370 Spani. ards and Portuguese, who were employed as labourers in repairing the fortifications.

TO THE INHABITANS OF HIS MAJESTY’S PROVINCES IN NORTH AMERICA. A PROCLAMATION. The complete succes which has attended His Majesty’s Arms on the Nieagara frontier, having placed in our possession the whole of the enmy’s posts on that line, it became a matter of imperious duty to retaliate on America the miseries which the unfortunate inhabitahts of Newark had been made to suffer upon the evacuation of Fort George.—The villages of Lewiston, Black Rock, and Buffalo, have accordingly bteu burned.—At the same time that His Excellency the Commander of the Forces sincerely deprecates this mode of warfare, he trusts that it will be sufficient to call the attention of every candid and impartial person, both amongst ourselves and the enemy, to the circumstances from which it has arisen, to satisfy them that this departure from the established usages of war has originated with America herself, and that to her alone are justly chargeable, ah the awful and unhappy consequences which have hitherto llowed, and are likely to result romit.—lt is not necessary to advert to the conduct of the troop employed on the American coast, in jonjnnction with His Majesty’s squadrin under Admiral Sir John. B. War ran, since, as they were neither within the command, nor subject to the controul of His Excellency, their acts cannot be ascribed to him, even if they wanted that justification which the circumstances that occasioned them so maply afford.—it will be sufficient for the present purpose, and in order to mark the character of the war, as carried on upon the frontier of these provinces, to trace the line of conduct observed by His Excellency, and the troops under his command, since the commencement of hostilities, and to contrast it with that of the enemy. —The first invasion of Upper Canada took place in July, 1812, when the American forces, under Brig. Gen. Hull, crosed over and took possession of Sandwich, where they began to manifest a disposition so different from that of a magnanimous enemy, and which they have peculiar resentment, the loyal subjects of His Majesty, and iu dooming their property to plunder and conliagiation. Various instances of this kind occurred both at Sandwich and in its neighbourhood, at the very period when His Majesty’s standaid was waving upon the fort of Michi imackioac, and affording protection to the persons and property of those who had submitted to it. Within a few weeks afterwards, the British flag was hoisted on the fortress of Detroit, which, together with the whole of the Michigan territory, had surrendered to Hi»Majesty*s arms.—Had not His Excellency been actuated by sentiments far dittrent from those which had influenced tin American Government, and the persons employed by it, in the wanton acts of the destruction of private property, committed, daring their short occupation of a part of Upper Canada, His Excellency could have availed himself of th,e opportunity which the undist'irbed possession of the whole of the Michigan territory afforded him, of amply retaliating for the devastating system which had been pursued at Sandwich and on the Thames. But strictly in conformity to the views and disposition of his own Government, and to that liberal and magnanimous policy which it had dictated, he chose rather to forbear an imitation of the enemy’s example, in the hope that such forbearance would be duly appreciated by the Government of the Unit, ed States, and would produce a return to the more civiliz. ed usages of wa-. The persons and property, therefore, of the inhabitants of the Michigan territory, were respected, and remained unmolested, in the winter of the following year, when the success which attended the daring and gallant enterprise against Ogdensburgh had placed that populous and florishing village in our possession, the generosity of the British character was again conspicuous, in the scrupulous preservation of every article which could be considered as private property ; such public buildings only being destroyed as were used for the accommodation •f troops and for public stores.—The destruction of the •netny’s forces in the nei_hbourhood, laid open the whole of their frontier on the St. Lawrence, to the incursions of His Majesty’s troops ; and Hamilton, as well as the numerous settlements on the banks of the river, might at any hour, had such been the intention of His Majesty’s Government, or of those acting under it, been plundered and laid waste. —During the course of the following summer, by the fortunate result of the enterpris against Platts, burgh, that town was for several hours in the complete possession of our troops, there not being any force in the ¦eighliourbood which could attempt a resistance. Yet •ven there, under circumstances of strong temptation, and when the recent example of the enemy in the wanton des. truction at York, of private property, and buildings not ksed for military purpose, must have been fresh in the recollection of the forces amployed on that occasion, and Would have justified a retaliation on their part, thiir for. bearance was strongly manifested, and the directions His Excellency had given to the commander of that expedition »o scrupulously obeyed, that scarcely can another in. •tance be shewn in which, during a state of war, and nn. similar circumstances, an enemy, so completely under the power and at the mercy of their adversaries, had so little cause of complaint. During the course of the same summer, Forts Schlosser •ud Rott were surprised and taken by rfpart of the forces under the command of Major.Gcn. de RoHenSnrg on the Niagara frontier, at both of which places personal property was respected, and the public buildings alone were destroyed.—lt was certainly matter of just and reasonable expectation* that the humane and liberal course of conduct pursued by His Excellency on those different occasions, would have had its due weight on the American Government, and would have led u to have abstained, in the further prosecution of the war, from any acts oi wantonness or violence, which could only tend unnecessarily to add to its ordinary calamities, anil to bring down upon their unoffending citizens a retaliation, w inch, though distant, they must have known would await aud certainly follow such conduct.— Undeterred, however, by His Excellency’s example of moderation, or by any of tm consequences to be apprehended from the adoption of such barbarous measures, the American forces at Fort George, acting as there is every reason to believe, under the orders, or with the approbation of their Government, for some time previous to their evacuation of that fortress, varioui pretensions, burned and destroyed the farm houses and buildings of many of the respectable and peaceable inhabitants of that neighbourhood.—But the full measure of this species of barbarity remained to be completed at a season when all its horrors might be more fully and kendly felt by those who were to become the wretched victims of it. It will hardly be credited by those who shal hereafter read it in the .age of history, that in the enlightened era of the 19tl: century, and in the inclemency of a Canadian winter, ti.e iroops of a nation calling itself civilized and Christian, ha J wantonly, and without the shadow of a pretext, forced lUO helpless woman and children to quit their dwellings, and to bed mournful spectator of the couflagi-i’ion and tutu. destruction of alt that belonged to them. Vet, such was th fate of Newark ou the 10th Dec. last, a day winch the inhabitants of Uppei Canada can never foiget, and the recollect.on of which cannot but nerve their arms wu.-ii opposed to their vindictive foe* On the night oi th.it day, the American troops under Brig.-Gen. M‘U...rc, bene; about to evacuate Fort George, which they could no I .n.tr retain, by an act of inhumanity disgraceful so tiie.osdvev and to the nation to wh.ch they belong, set lire to upwards of 15') houses, composing the beautiful village oi .Newark, and burned them to the giound, leaving w .u; >ut covering shelter those “innocent, unfortunate, and distressed inhabita ts,” whom that Officer, by his Proclamation, lad previously engaged to protect.—His Exe.lkncy would have ill consulted the honor of his country, and the justice due to His Majesty’s injured ana iiisuded subjects, had he permuted an act of such need.ess cruelty to pass unpunished, or had ne failed to visit, whenevtr tne opportunity arrived, upon the inhabitants of the neighbouring American frontier, the calamities thus inflicted upon thu.se of our own.—The opportunity occurred, atid a full measure of retaliation has taken place, surh as it is iiopcd w ill teach the enemy to respect, in future, the.laws of wai, and recal him to sense of whatisdue to'himseif as well as us.—Li the future proseenti hi of the contest to winch so extraordinary a charactr has biun given, His Excellency must be guided by the course of conduct wi.ich the enemy shall hereafter purpose.— Lamenting, as Ins ExceLtncy does, the necessity imposed upon him of retaliaiing upon the subjects of America the miseries inflicted on the inhabitants of Newark, it is not his intern ion to pursue further a system of warfare so revolting to his own feelings, and so little Congenial to the British character, unless the future measures of the enemy should compel him again to resort to it.—To those possessions of the enemy along the whole line of frontier which have hitherto remained undisturbed, and wnich arcare now within His Excellency’s reach, and at the mercy of the troops under his command, His Excellency has determined to extend the same forbearance and the same freedom from rapine and plunder, which they have hitherto experienced; and from this determination the future cun. duct of the American Govc-rnmeut shall alone induce His Excellency to depart.—The inhabitants of these provinces will, in the mean time, be prepared to resist, with firm, nets and courage, w hatever attempts the resentment of the enemy, arising from their disgrance and their merited sufferings, may lead them to make, well asserted they w ill be powerfully assisted at all points by the troops under His Excellency’s comma. and that prompt and signal vengeance will be taken for every fresh departure by theenemy, from that system of warfare which ought alone to subsist between enlightened and civilized nations.—Given under my hand and seal at arms at Quebec, this 12th day of Jan. 1814. Geo. Prevost. THE POSTMASTEIToFDARLINGTON. About the year 1730, Mr. Edward Walpole (afterwards Sir Edward, Kuightofthe Bath) returned from his travels on the Continent, where the munificence of his father, Sir Robert Walpole, the premier of England, had enabled him to make a brilliant figure; and so very engaging was he found by the ladies, that he had no other appellation in Italy than that of “the handsome Englishman.” Mr. Walpole had lodgings taken for him, on his return, at a Mrs. Rennie’s, a child’s coai-makcr, at the bottom of Pall-Mail. On returning from visits, or public places, be often passed a quarter of an hour in that w ith the young women of the shop. Among them was one who had it in her power to make him forget the Italians, and all the beauties of the English court. Her name was Clement; her father was at that time, or soon after, postmaster at Darlington, a place of 501. p. annum, on which he subsisted a large family. This young woman had been bound apprentice to Mrs. Rennie, and was employed in, the usual duties of such a situation, which she discharged (as the old lady used to say ) honestly aud soberly. Her parents, however, from their exfrme p • f ply her but very Sj aiingly with > VV alpoleobservid h r wains, aud h .* i her little priseiits i-. away not took place were of course m , rivate ; bet the fair fugitive sat dow n that day at the head of his table, and never after left it.—The fruits of this connection were the late Mrs. Keppel • M aria, the iate Duchess of Gloucester, the second; Lao, Dysart, the third; and Col. Walpole, the fourth ; in the birth of whom, or soon after, the mother died. Never could fondness exceed that which Sir Edward always ch'-rishedfoi the mother of his children; nor was it confined to h ror them only, but extended itself to her relations, for a • ; whom he some way or other provided. His gn t loss was proportioned to his affection. He const; timed all overtures of marriage, and gave t-p his the education of his children. He had often been pre:. J to unite himself to Miss Clement by legal ti-s, bi t t. ¦> threats of his father, Sir Robert, prevented hi marrt who avowed, that if he mairied Miss Clem.nt, he v<; not only deprive him of his political interest, but exert ic against him. It was, however, always sale, by those who had access to know, that had Miss t’lec ent survived SiRobert, shw onld then have been Lady Will ole. About the year 1758, tn.eldest daughter, Laura, becafne the »iie ofthellon. Freiirrick Keppel, brother to tinarlofAioetnarle, and alter w aids Buhop of Exeter. The Al .ss W;>) now took a rank in society iu which they had never before moved. The sisters of the i-; oi All . marie were their constant companions, and introduced them io people of quality and fashion; they constantly appeared at i.e first routes aud balls; and, in a word, were receivid every where but at court. The stigma attending their l>i...i shut ih ni out from the dwelling room, till marriage (as in the case of Mrs Keppel) had covtred the defect, and given them the rank of another family. No out w it.' e • heir progress upwards with more anxiety than the ! J of Waldegrave. This nobleman (one of the proudest u the kingdom) had long cherished a passion for I he struggle between his passion and his pride was not a short one, and having conquered his own difficulties, it now only remained to attach the lady’s, who had no pr _ possession, and Lord Waid-grave, though voung, was not disagreable. Her very amiable conduct If.rimgh the whole life of her lord, added reepect and este< m to the warmest admiration. About five years after their marriage, the small-pox attacked his Lordship, and proved fatal. His lady found herself a y oung widow, inconsolable* Had Lord Waldegrave possessed every advantage of youth and beauty, his death could rot have been regretted by his amiable relict. A<* lenght she emerged again into the world, and love and admiration every where followed her. She refused many offers; amongst others, the Duke of Portland loudly proclaimed his discontent at her refusal.—But the daughter of M oy Clement was destined to royalty ! The Duke of Gloucester was not to be resisted ; and two children, a Prince aud Princess, were the fruits of their marriage; and hence it is within the bounds of probability, that the descendants of the Postmaster of Darlington may one day sway the British sceptre. On Tuesday last, were Executed, with the greatest solemnity we ever uitnessed, Six Negroes, convicted of the heinous Crime of Conspiring against the Government of this Colony, and plotting a general Massacre o f th. uhtte Inhabitants; the p.,or misguided wretches, had brought their intended confusion to some maturity, when luckily for thetr adherents, the plot was discovered—they are the only ones that suffered capitally—several of their followers were whipped under the Gallows and others banished. It is much to be wished, that a few more Proprietors were Resident in this colony, as by their continued presencea better discipline would be established among the Negroes.
