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.

DOWDING-STREET, MARCH 20, 1814.
Major Freemantle has arrived at this office, bringing
dispa'chcs from the Marquis of Wellington, addiessed to
Earl Ba tnuist, of which the following are copies;—
St. Sever, March 1.
My Lord—l returned to Garris on the 21st, and or ordered
dered ordered the Gth and li blockade of Bayonne, and General Don Manuel Frey re
to close up the cantonments of his corps towards Iron,
end to be prepared to move when the left of the army
should cross the Adour.
I found the pontoons collected at Garris, and they were
moved forward on the following days to and across the
Gave de Mouieon, and the troops of the centre of the ar.
my arrived.
On the 2’lh, Lieut.-General Sir Rowland Hill, passed
the Gate d’Oler> Portuguese divisions, iindei the command of Alajor-Genc Alajor-GencralCharles

and Marischal de Cam; o Don Frederick Lccor ; w hile
Lieut.-Gen. Sir Henry C'li iton passed with the 6th divi division
sion division between Montfort ami La*, and Lieut.-Gen. Sir
Thomas Picton made demonstrations, with the 3d divisi.
on, of an intention to attack the enemy’s position at the
bridge of Sauvcterre, which induced thecnemy to blow up
the bridge.
Marischal de Campo Don Pablo Murillo drove i i the
enemy’s posts near Naverrens, ami blockaded that place.
L; since the movement of Sir Rowland Hill on the 14th and
15th, had remained with the 4th and 7th divisions, and
Col, ' ivi.u.’s brigade, in observation on the Lower Bi.
t! iuze, attacked th.* enemy on the 23d in their fortified
po 's at Hastingses a â–  dePot. ad< blig.d them to retire within the tete-de-pout
at P :< rehorade.
in in d.ati ly after the passage of theGavc d’Olcron was
effecled, Sir Rowland Hili ana Sir Henry Clinton moved
towards Orthes, and the great road leading from Sauve,
trr• to ti.at town; and U from Sauvcterre across ti.e Gave ue Pau, and assembled
their army iwar Orthes on liic 25tfi, having destroyed all
thebr.dg s on the river.

L_> a Edward Somerset's brigade ut eavary, aud tne 3d

Lieut.. Gui. Sir Lowry Cute, and Major Gen. Walker,
aid Co . Vivian’s on,a Ic, towaids uic junction of the
Gave d‘ Pau with the Gave d’Olcron.
The troops opposed to (lie Marshal having marched on
the 25ih, lie crossed the Gave de i an below tne junction
of the Gave d’Dleron, on the morning oi the 26tk, and
moved along the high road from Peyrehoiade towards
Orthes, on the enemy’s right. As be approached, Lieut..
Gen. Sir Stapleton Cotton crossed with tne cavalry, and
Lieut.. Gen. Sir Thomas Picton, with the 3d uivision,
below the bridge of Lorens : and i moved the 6th and light
divisions to the sane point, anu Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland
Ji.ll occ ij ted tt e luigh.s opposite Orthes, and the high
roaJ leading to Sauvctcrre.
The 6th ..nd hgi.i onisians crossed on the morning ol
the 27th at Ua> ii.tr, atm we found the enemy in a strong
position near Ok.ics, «im his tight on the heights on the
high ro.id io D.«.i..j occupying the village oi St. Boes,
and his left the h.iji.s opposing tie passage ol the i‘.i by >ir R. Hill.
I’he cot rse i f (hi in ignis on wfi.ui tlu cn.my had placed
his army, necessa ily km <1 centr. 1 , while the strength
of the position gave ext idurd.ii iiy a A milages to the il.oiks.
I ordered Marshal Sir Vv. b. i tsluro to turn, and attack
the enemy’s right with th.- 4th division under i.wut—Gen.
Sir Lowry Cole, and the 7th division under Major-Gen.
Walker, and Col. Vivian’s brigade of cavalry ; while
Lieut.-Gen. Sir Thomas Picton should move along the
great road leading from Peyrehoradeto Orthes, and attack
the heights on which the enemy’s centre and left stood,
with the 3d and 6th divisions, supported by Stapleton
Cotton with Lord Ed. Somerset’s brigade of cavalry.
Major-Gen. Charles Baron Aiten, with the light division,
kept up the communication, and was in reserve between
these two attacks. 1 likewise desired Lieut.-Gm. Sir
Rowland Hill to cross the Gave, and to turn, and to at.
tack the enemy’s left.
Marshal Sir W. Beresford carried the village of St. Boes
With the 4th divi-ion, under ihe command of Lieut.-Gen.
Sir Lowry Code, as er an obstinate resistance by the ene enemy
my enemy ; but the ground was so narrow that the troops could
Kot deploy to attack the heights notwithstanding the re.
peated attempts ol Major. Gen. Ross and Brigadier-Gen.
Vascopcello’s Portuguese brigade; and it was impossible
to turn the enemy by their right, without an excessive ex.
tension of our line.
I therefore so far altered the plan of the action as to
Order the immediate advance of the 3d and 6th divisions,
a, 'd I moved forward Col. Barnard's brigade of the light
division, to attack the left of the height on which the ene enemy’s
my’s enemy’s right stood.
This attack, led by the 52d regiment, under Lieut.. Col.
Colborne, and supported on their right by Major. Gen.
Brisbane’s and Col. Kean’s brigades of the 3d division,
®nd by simultaneous attacks on the left by Major-Gen.
Anson’s brigade of the 4th division, and on the right by
Lieut-Gen, Sir Thomas Picton, with the remainder of

the 3d division, and the 6th division under Lieut.. Gen.
Sir H. Clinton, dislodged the enemy from the heigh s, and
gave us the victory.
In the mean time Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Hill had forc forced
ed forced the passage of the Gave above Orthes, and seeing the
state of the action, he moved immediately with the second
division of infantry under Lietit.-Gen. Sir Wiiliam Ste.
wart, and Major-Gen. Fane’s brigade of cavalry, direct
for (he great road from Orthes to St. Sever, thus keeping
upon the enemy’s left.
The enemy retired at first in admirable order, taking
•very advantage of the numerous good positions which the
country afforded. Tne looses, however, which they had
sustained in the continued attacks of our troops, and the
linger with which they were threatened by Lieut.-Gen.
Sir Row land Hill’s movements, soon accelerated their move,
ments, and ’lie retreat at length became a Hight, and their
troops wen* in the utmost confusion.
Li ut.-Geu. Sir Stapleton Cotton took advantage of the
only opportunity which offered to charge with Major-Gen.
Lord Edward Somerset’s brigade in the neighbourhood of
Sault de N ivailles, where the enemy had been diiven from
the high road by Lieut.. Gen. Sir Rowland Hill. Thc7th
hussars disting'iLiied themselves upon this occasion, and
made many prisoners.
We continued the pursuit till it was dusk, aid I halted
the army in ihencighboarhood of Sault de Navailles.
1 cannot estimate the extent of the enemy’s loss; we
have taken six pieces of cannon, aud a great many pri.
sonars; the numbers 1 cannot at present report. The
whole country is covered by their dead Their army was
in the utmost confusion when I last saw it passing the
Heights m-ar Sault de Navaiiles, and many soldiers had
(in mi n away th ir arms. The desertion has since been
immense.

The enemy, conceiving that the mean, of crossing the

mand, command, viz. rafts made of pontoons, had not enabled him
to cross a large force in tne course of tiie23d. attacked the

and was obliged to go higher up the r.ver to the neighbour,

his posts are now within SOO yards of the outworks of

Aly Lord,— l i pursuance of your Lordship’s instruct,

mand command upon the load kaili g- to this place on the left bank
of tiie Adour.
Upon ihe arrival of (he advanced guard within 2 miles
of the town, the enemy was discovered occupying a strong
ridge of hills, having his right flank upon the Adour, and
thus covering the road to this place.
Notwithstanding the strenght of his position, I ordered
the attack, which was executed by the 2d division under
Lt. Gen. the Hon. Sir W. Stewart (which advanced on the
road leading to this place, and thus gained possession of
the enemy’s extreme right, and by one brigade of the Por.
guese division under Brigadier-Gen. La Costa, which as ascended
cended ascended the hiights occupied by the enemy at about the
center ot his position.
The Portuguese brigade succeeded in gaining possession
of the ridges, but were thrown into such confussion by the
ressistance made by the enemy, as would have been of the
most serious consequence, had it not been for the timely
support given by the 2d division under Lieut.-Gen. Sir
W. Stewart, who having previously beaten back the en enemy
emy enemy directly opposed to him, and seeing them turning to
to charge the Portuguese brigade, ordered forward the Ist
brigade of the 2d division, which, led by Major. Gen.
Barnes, charged the enemy in the most gallant sty le, and
beat them back, th.owing their coilum into the greatest
confusion.
Thecnemy made various attempts to regain the ground
but Lieut-Gen. the Hon. Sir W. Stewart, having now
been joined by Major-Gen. Byog’s brigade, was enabled'
to drive them from all their positions, and finally from
the town.
By all accounts of prisoners, and from my own obeser.
rations, at least two divisions of tha enemy were engaged.
The loss in killed and wounded has been very great, and
we have above one hundred prisoners. The enemy’s line
of retreat seems to have been by the reight bank of the
Adour, with exception of some part of their force, which
being cut off from the river by our rapid advance to this
town, retired in the greatest confussion in the direction of
Pau. 1 hese troops have left (licit 1 arms in every direction.

in the garrison, so that, as those people say, scarcely 700

London Gazette Extraordinary. WAR DEPARTMENT. DOWDING-STREET, MARCH 20, 1814. Major Freemantle has arrived at this office, bringing dispa'chcs from the Marquis of Wellington, addiessed to Earl Ba tnuist, of which the following are copies;— St. Sever, March 1. My Lord—l returned to Garris on the 21st, and ordered the Gth and li a Edward Somerset's brigade ut eavary, aud tne 3d divitim, under Laut..Gen. Sir 1 nomas I'.ctou, was near the destroyed bridge oi Bereus; and Fielu Marshal Sir W. B • re-loid, with the 4tii and 7th dni-iuiis, under Lieut.. Gui. Sir Lowry Cute, and Major Gen. Walker, aid Co . Vivian’s on,a Ic, towaids uic junction of the Gave d‘ Pau with the Gave d’Olcron. The troops opposed to (lie Marshal having marched on the 25ih, lie crossed the Gave de i an below tne junction of the Gave d’Dleron, on the morning oi the 26tk, and moved along the high road from Peyrehoiade towards Orthes, on the enemy’s right. As be approached, Lieut.. Gen. Sir Stapleton Cotton crossed with tne cavalry, and Lieut.. Gen. Sir Thomas Picton, with the 3d uivision, below the bridge of Lorens : and i moved the 6th and light divisions to the sane point, anu Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Ji.ll occ ij ted tt e luigh.s opposite Orthes, and the high roaJ leading to Sauvctcrre. The 6th ..nd hgi.i onisians crossed on the morning ol the 27th at Ua> ii.tr, atm we found the enemy in a strong position near Ok.ics, «im his tight on the heights on the high ro.id io D.«.i..j occupying the village oi St. Boes, and his left the h.iji.s ir R. Hill. I’he cot rse i f (hi in ignis on wfi.ui tlu cn.my had placed his army, necessa ily km <1 centr. 1 , while the strength of the position gave ext idurd.ii iiy a A milages to the il.oiks. I ordered Marshal Sir Vv. b. i tsluro to turn, and attack the enemy’s right with th.4th division under i.wut—Gen. Sir Lowry Cole, and the 7th division under Major-Gen. Walker, and Col. Vivian’s brigade of cavalry ; while Lieut.-Gen. Sir Thomas Picton should move along the great road leading from Peyrehoradeto Orthes, and attack the heights on which the enemy’s centre and left stood, with the 3d and 6th divisions, supported by Stapleton Cotton with Lord Ed. Somerset’s brigade of cavalry. Major-Gen. Charles Baron Aiten, with the light division, kept up the communication, and was in reserve between these two attacks. 1 likewise desired Lieut.-Gm. Sir Rowland Hill to cross the Gave, and to turn, and to at. tack the enemy’s left. Marshal Sir W. Beresford carried the village of St. Boes With the 4th divi-ion, under ihe command of Lieut.-Gen. Sir Lowry Code, as er an obstinate resistance by the enemy ; but the ground was so narrow that the troops could Kot deploy to attack the heights notwithstanding the re. peated attempts ol Major. Gen. Ross and Brigadier-Gen. Vascopcello’s Portuguese brigade; and it was impossible to turn the enemy by their right, without an excessive ex. tension of our line. I therefore so far altered the plan of the action as to Order the immediate advance of the 3d and 6th divisions, a, 'd I moved forward Col. Barnard's brigade of the light division, to attack the left of the height on which the enemy’s right stood. This attack, led by the 52d regiment, under Lieut.. Col. Colborne, and supported on their right by Major. Gen. Brisbane’s and Col. Kean’s brigades of the 3d division, ®nd by simultaneous attacks on the left by Major-Gen. Anson’s brigade of the 4th division, and on the right by Lieut-Gen, Sir Thomas Picton, with the remainder of the 3d division, and the 6th division under Lieut.. Gen. Sir H. Clinton, dislodged the enemy from the heigh s, and gave us the victory. In the mean time Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Hill had forced the passage of the Gave above Orthes, and seeing the state of the action, he moved immediately with the second division of infantry under Lietit.-Gen. Sir Wiiliam Ste. wart, and Major-Gen. Fane’s brigade of cavalry, direct for (he great road from Orthes to St. Sever, thus keeping upon the enemy’s left. The enemy retired at first in admirable order, taking •very advantage of the numerous good positions which the country afforded. Tne looses, however, which they had sustained in the continued attacks of our troops, and the linger with which they were threatened by Lieut.-Gen. Sir Row land Hill’s movements, soon accelerated their move, ments, and ’lie retreat at length became a Hight, and their troops wen* in the utmost confusion. Li ut.-Geu. Sir Stapleton Cotton took advantage of the only opportunity which offered to charge with Major-Gen. Lord Edward Somerset’s brigade in the neighbourhood of Sault de N ivailles, where the enemy had been diiven from the high road by Lieut.. Gen. Sir Rowland Hill. Thc7th hussars disting'iLiied themselves upon this occasion, and made many prisoners. We continued the pursuit till it was dusk, aid I halted the army in ihencighboarhood of Sault de Navailles. 1 cannot estimate the extent of the enemy’s loss; we have taken six pieces of cannon, aud a great many pri. sonars; the numbers 1 cannot at present report. The whole country is covered by their dead Their army was in the utmost confusion when I last saw it passing the Heights m-ar Sault de Navaiiles, and many soldiers had (in mi n away th ir arms. The desertion has since been immense. We followed the enemy thediy after to this place; and we this day pa,scd the A-i »ir; .* > ~r*uai S.r vV Beresford, wit.i the light divisi ).t and .>.

Sir John nope in cairying it into execution. The enemy, conceiving that the mean, of crossing the river, which Lieut.-Gen. Sir John Hope had at his command, viz. rafts made of pontoons, had not enabled him to cross a large force in tne course of tiie23d. attacked the corps which he had sent over on that evening. This corps consisted of 660 men oi the 2d brigade of guards, tinder the command of Major. Gen. the lion. Edward Stop. lord, who repulsed the ett.my immeu.atiiy. 1 fie rocket brigade was of great use uj on ti.is occasion. Three of the enemy’s gun-boats were destroyed this day, and a frigate lying in the Adour received consider, able damage from the fire of a battery of 18-pounders, and was obliged to go higher up the r.ver to the neighbour, hood of the bridge. Lieut.-Gen. S.i John Hope invested the citadel of Ba. yonue on the 25tfi, and Li at.-Ger.. Don Manuel Freyre moved forward w ith the fourth Spanish army , in consequence of diiections which i bad left for bon. On the 27th the bridge having been completed, Lieut.-Gen. Sir John Hope deemed it expedient to invast the citadel of Bayonne more closely than he had done before; and he attacked tne village of St. Etienne, w hich he carried, having taken a.gun and some prisoners from thecnemy ; aud his posts are now within SOO yards of the outworks of the place. The result of the operations which I have detailed to your Lordship is, that Bayonne, St. Jean Pied de Port, and Navarrens, arc invested ; and the army having passed the Adour, are in possession of all the great communications across the river, after having beaten the enemy and taken their magazines. Your Lordship will have observed with satisfaction the able assistance which I have received in these operations from Marshal Sir W. Beresford, Lieut.-Gcn. Sir Row. land Hill, Sir John Hope, and Sir Stapleton Cotten, and from all the general officers, and troops acting under their orders respectively. it is impossible for me sufficiently to express my sense of their merits, or of the degree in which the country is in. debted to their zeal and abi ity for the situation in which the army now finds itself.

The charge made by the 7th hussars under Lord Edward Somerset was highly meritorious. she conduct of the artillery throughout thedsy d served my entire approbation. lam likewise much indebted to the Quarter-Master-Gen.

Upon ihe arrival of (he advanced guard within 2 miles of the town, the enemy was discovered occupying a strong ridge of hills, having his right flank upon the Adour, and thus covering the road to this place. Notwithstanding the strenght of his position, I ordered the attack, which was executed by the 2d division under Lt. Gen. the Hon. Sir W. Stewart (which advanced on the road leading to this place, and thus gained possession of the enemy’s extreme right, and by one brigade of the Por. guese division under Brigadier-Gen. La Costa, which ascended the hiights occupied by the enemy at about the center ot his position. The Portuguese brigade succeeded in gaining possession of the ridges, but were thrown into such confussion by the ressistance made by the enemy, as would have been of the most serious consequence, had it not been for the timely support given by the 2d division under Lieut.-Gen. Sir W. Stewart, who having previously beaten back the enemy directly opposed to him, and seeing them turning to to charge the Portuguese brigade, ordered forward the Ist brigade of the 2d division, which, led by Major. Gen. Barnes, charged the enemy in the most gallant sty le, and beat them back, th.owing their coilum into the greatest confusion. Thecnemy made various attempts to regain the ground but Lieut-Gen. the Hon. Sir W. Stewart, having now been joined by Major-Gen. Byog’s brigade, was enabled' to drive them from all their positions, and finally from the town. By all accounts of prisoners, and from my own obeser. rations, at least two divisions of tha enemy were engaged. The loss in killed and wounded has been very great, and we have above one hundred prisoners. The enemy’s line of retreat seems to have been by the reight bank of the Adour, with exception of some part of their force, which being cut off from the river by our rapid advance to this town, retired in the greatest confussion in the direction of Pau. 1 hese troops have left (licit 1 arms in every direction. 1 canuot omjt this opportunity of expressing to your
