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.

Head-quarters, Calmhout March 10, 1814.
My Lord—lt becomes my painful task to report to
your Lordship, that an attack on Bergen.op-2oom, w hich
seemed at first to promise complete success, ended in fai failure,
lure, failure, and occasioned a severe loss to the Ist division and
to Brigadier. Genera I Gore’s briuade.
It is unnecessary for me to state the reasons which de.
termined me to make the attempt to carry such a place by
storm, since the success of two of the colum in establish,
ii'g themselves on the ramparts, with every trifling loss
must justify the having incurred the risk for the attaint
ment of so important an object, as the capture of such a
fortress.

The troops employed were formed in four columns, ea
per margin*. No. 1, the left column, attacked betweea
the Antwerp and Water Port Gates. No. 2 attacked * the right of the New Gate No. 3 was destined oul

hour was fixed according at half past ten P. M. u s t| le
Blh instant.
Major-General Cooko accompanied the left column.
Major-General Skerret and Brigadier-General Gore hoik
accompanied the right column; this was the first which
forced its nay into the body of the place. These tw o
columns were directed to move along the ramparts so as to
form a junction as soon as possible, and then to ; recced j
to clear the rampart and assist the cente. column, or to /
force open the Antwerp Gate. JR
An unexpected difficulty about passing th ditch on the
ice having obliged Major General Cooke to change th*
point of attack, a considerable delay ensued, and that
coinmil did not gain the rampart till half.; ast eleven.

IBergen-yp.Zoom, Marek 16, 1814.
I'gjj— I bare now the honor of reporting toyour Excel.
Ley that the column which made the attackontheAm.
icrp side got into the about eleven o’clock on the
kht of the Bth, by thet clock of this town ; but at about
alf.nast eleven, by the time we regulated by, a delay
svthg occurred at Bourgbliet, occasioned by my findiih
necessary to change the point of attack, on account or
ie state of the ice at first intended spot. Every exertio
as made by Lieut.-Colonel Smith and Capt. Sir G. Hoste,
f the royal engineers, in getting on the ladders and planks
quisite or effecting the enterprise, and in directing the
lacing them for the descent into the ditch, the passing the
eetini the ice, and ascending the ramparts of the body of
be place ; during which operation several men were lost
by a fire from the rampart. After we were established on
the rampart, and had occupied some houses, from whence
ve might have been much annoyed, and had sent a strong
®3trole towards the point at which Major-Gen. Skerrett
and Lieut.-Col. Carleton had entered, 1 detached Lieut-
Col, Clifton with part of the Ist guards, to secure the
Antwerp Gate, and to see if he could get any information
of the column under Lieut.-Col. Morrice. Lieut.. Col.
Clifton reached the gate but found that it could not be
opned by his men, the enemy throwing a viry heavy fire
up a street leading to it. It was also found that they oc-
Bied an outwork, commanding the brigade, which would
effectually render that outlet useless to us. I heard noth nothing
ing nothing more of this detachment, but considered it as lost, the
Communication having been interrupted by the enemy.
Lieut.-Col. Hooke, with part of the 3d guard, wasaf.
teruards s< nt in that direction, drove the enem. from the
intermediate rampart, and reached the gate, when he found
it useless to attempt any thing, and ascertained that the
S outwork was still occupied. We were joined in the course
of tie night by the 33d, 35th, and id battalion of the
C9thTtitimint, but the state uncertainty as to what had
. passid at < ther points, determined me not to weak< n the
forct n w collected, by attempting to carry points which
we could not maintain, or penetrate through the strets
with a certain loss of a great number of men, particularly
as I heard that the troops at the Water Port Gate, under
Lieut.-Col. Muller, were very seriously opposed. I sent
th ' 33d to reinforce him.
The eremy continued a galling fire upon us, and at one
time held the adjoining bastion, from the angle of which
they completely commanded our communication wi«h the
exterior, and brought their guns at that angle to bear
against us. They were charged and driven away by Ma.
Jors Mutt ebury and Hog, with the 69ih and 55th, in a
very spirited and . a lant style.
Find, ng that matters were Incoming more serious, and
being still without any information from other points, ex.
cepting that of the failure of Lieut.-Col. Morr ce’s column
near the Nourd Gate, i determined, at the suggestion of
Colonel Lord Proby, to let part of the troops withdraw,
which was done al the ladders where they entered.
About day-light the enemy having again possessed them themselves
selves themselves of the before mentioned bastion, they were again
driven from it by Majors Muttkbury and Hog, with their
weak battalions, in the same gallant manner. I soon at.
forward' began sending off some more men, when Lieut..
Co! Joies, who had been taken prisoner in the night,
tan e to me, (accompanied by a French officer, who sum.
Biotied me to surrenderJ and informed me that Lieut..
Col. Muller, and the troops at the Water Port Gate had
bu n obliged io surrender, and were marched prisoners in.
to the town, wheu I also learnt the fate of Lieut.-(Joi.
Clifton's detachment, and of Major-Gen. Skerrett, Major-
Cen, Gore, and Lieut.. Col. Carleton, and that thetroo, s
which had followed them had suffered very m ich, and had
bivu repulsed from the advanced points along the rampait
where they had penetrated to. I was convinced that a
ioi'aer continuance of the contest would bean useless loss
el lives, and w ithout a prospect of relief, as were situat.
•d. 1 therefore consented to adopt the mortifying alter,
â– alive of laying down our arms.
I have now to perform the just and satisfactory duty
of conveying to your Excellency my sense of the merits
and good conduct of the officers and soldiers in this bold
and arduous enterprise. 1 have only a knowledge of what
Passed under my ow n observation and I lament that the
loss of Major-Gen. Skerrett, from his dangerous wounds,
â– nd of the other superior officers employed at the other
points of attack, prevents me from giving such detailed
praise of the merits of the officers and soldiers as J have
Bo doubt they deserve.
J heg to repeat my sense of the distinguished conduct
of Col. Lord Proby; Lieut.-Col. Rooke and Mercer,
rd themselves by their activity and bravery’; and Majors
Muttlebury and Hog, of the 69th and 55th regiments, de.
«crve my warm praise for the conduct displayed by those
corps in the charges I have before mentioned. 1 have
every reason to know that Lieut.-Col. Clifton conducted
â– is detachment in the most gallant and officer-like manner,
•nd I have to lament that his death deprives me of receiv.
ing I'H report of the conduct of Lieut.. Colonels M. Don.
•Id and Jones, and the officers and soldiers of the Ist
guards, under his command.
I am not yet able to transmit an exact return of the
prisoners taken at different times by the enemy, nor of the
â– umbers taken from them.
1 have the honour to be, &c.

embarked for England, as soon as the navigation of the

and I would gladly hope that, in compliment to the Gen.
this officer would be immediately released without exchange.
Major Stanhope, who can better than any body inform
your Lordship of all particulars you may wish to be in.
formed of, is sent purposely as the bearer of my dispatches,
which makes it unnecessary forme to add more. J have
the honor to be, &c. Thomas Graham.

We are happy to communicate the arrival in Demerary of the Mutine, gun brig, and a sloop as war, and that the continuance of (he depredation of the American privateer, as no longer to be apprehended.

Head-quarters, Calmhout March 10, 1814. My Lord—lt becomes my painful task to report to your Lordship, that an attack on Bergen.op-2oom, w hich seemed at first to promise complete success, ended in failure, and occasioned a severe loss to the Ist division and to Brigadier. Genera I Gore’s briuade. It is unnecessary for me to state the reasons which de. termined me to make the attempt to carry such a place by storm, since the success of two of the colum in establish, ii'g themselves on the ramparts, with every trifling loss must justify the having incurred the risk for the attaint ment of so important an object, as the capture of such a fortress. The troops employed were formed in four columns, ea per margin*. No. 1, the left column, attacked betweea the Antwerp and Water Port Gates. No. 2 attacked *n, it fell into diso* dcr, and sullered great loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners. Ihe centre column having been forced back with considerable loss by ifie heavy tire uss oi tne detachment of the Ist guards, which having been scut tomdeavour to assist Lieut-Col. Carleton, and t I secure the Antwerp Gate, was cut off, after tho mmf gallant resistance, wuica cost the lives of many mostva ia able officers. * ‘ w At day-break the cn my having turned the gnns of tig piuce, optied ihcir fire >st the troops on the unpro* ucted rampart, and the reset vc of the 4th column (thg uoy al .vcu(ch) retired from Water Port C»te, followed by uic djd. imj lurmci r04, s e.!eially, oi an the officers and m<-n m»loyed Otar him, pamcuiariy maniioniug Colonel Lord Proby.

IBergen-yp.Zoom, Marek 16, 1814. I'gjj— I bare now the honor of reporting toyour Excel. Ley that the column which made the attackontheAm. icrp side got into the about eleven o’clock on the kht of the Bth, by thet clock of this town ; but at about alf.nast eleven, by the time we regulated by, a delay svthg occurred at Bourgbliet, occasioned by my findiih necessary to change the point of attack, on account or ie state of the ice at first intended spot. Every exertio as made by Lieut.-Colonel Smith and Capt. Sir G. Hoste, f the royal engineers, in getting on the ladders and planks quisite or effecting the enterprise, and in directing the lacing them for the descent into the ditch, the passing the eetini the ice, and ascending the ramparts of the body of be place ; during which operation several men were lost by a fire from the rampart. After we were established on the rampart, and had occupied some houses, from whence ve might have been much annoyed, and had sent a strong ®3trole towards the point at which Major-Gen. Skerrett and Lieut.-Col. Carleton had entered, 1 detached LieutCol, Clifton with part of the Ist guards, to secure the Antwerp Gate, and to see if he could get any information of the column under Lieut.-Col. Morrice. Lieut.. Col. Clifton reached the gate but found that it could not be opned by his men, the enemy throwing a viry heavy fire up a street leading to it. It was also found that they ocBied an outwork, commanding the brigade, which would effectually render that outlet useless to us. I heard nothing more of this detachment, but considered it as lost, the Communication having been interrupted by the enemy. Lieut.-Col. Hooke, with part of the 3d guard, wasaf. teruards s< nt in that direction, drove the enem. from the intermediate rampart, and reached the gate, when he found it useless to attempt any thing, and ascertained that the S outwork was still occupied. We were joined in the course of tie night by the 33d, 35th, and id battalion of the C9thTtitimint, but the state uncertainty as to what had . passid at < ther points, determined me not to weak< n the forct n w collected, by attempting to carry points which we could not maintain, or penetrate through the strets with a certain loss of a great number of men, particularly as I heard that the troops at the Water Port Gate, under Lieut.-Col. Muller, were very seriously opposed. I sent th ' 33d to reinforce him. The eremy continued a galling fire upon us, and at one time held the adjoining bastion, from the angle of which they completely commanded our communication wi«h the exterior, and brought their guns at that angle to bear against us. They were charged and driven away by Ma. Jors Mutt ebury and Hog, with the 69ih and 55th, in a very spirited and . a lant style. Find, ng that matters were Incoming more serious, and being still without any information from other points, ex. cepting that of the failure of Lieut.-Col. Morr ce’s column near the Nourd Gate, i determined, at the suggestion of Colonel Lord Proby, to let part of the troops withdraw, which was done al the ladders where they entered. About day-light the enemy having again possessed themselves of the before mentioned bastion, they were again driven from it by Majors Muttkbury and Hog, with their weak battalions, in the same gallant manner. I soon at. forward' began sending off some more men, when Lieut.. Co! Joies, who had been taken prisoner in the night, tan e to me, (accompanied by a French officer, who sum. Biotied me to surrenderJ and informed me that Lieut.. Col. Muller, and the troops at the Water Port Gate had bu n obliged io surrender, and were marched prisoners in. to the town, wheu I also learnt the fate of Lieut.-(Joi. Clifton's detachment, and of Major-Gen. Skerrett, MajorCen, Gore, and Lieut.. Col. Carleton, and that thetroo, s which had followed them had suffered very m ich, and had bivu repulsed from the advanced points along the rampait where they had penetrated to. I was convinced that a ioi'aer continuance of the contest would bean useless loss el lives, and w ithout a prospect of relief, as were situat. •d. 1 therefore consented to adopt the mortifying alter, ¦alive of laying down our arms. I have now to perform the just and satisfactory duty of conveying to your Excellency my sense of the merits and good conduct of the officers and soldiers in this bold and arduous enterprise. 1 have only a knowledge of what Passed under my ow n observation and I lament that the loss of Major-Gen. Skerrett, from his dangerous wounds, ¦nd of the other superior officers employed at the other points of attack, prevents me from giving such detailed praise of the merits of the officers and soldiers as J have Bo doubt they deserve.

My Lord—-1 have the honor to inform your Lordship, that Gen. Bizanet, the Governor of B rgeiuop-Zoom, al. lowed Li< ut..CoI. Jones to come h re with letters from Gen. Cooke, in consequence of which I sent in my Aidrde-Cainp, Major Stanhope yesterday morning, with full powers to conclude an agreement relative to an exchange of prisoners; a copy of which J have the honor to enclose, agreeable to which, all but the wounded were marched out from Bergen-op-Zoom yesterday, for the purpose of being embarked for England, as soon as the navigation of the river shall he open ; and I trust that my conduct in p edg. ing my honor to the strict observance of this agreement will be approved of, and that an immediate release of French prisoners of coresponding ranks, will take place with the least possible dalay. 1 must not omit this opportunity to express my entire satisfaction with theindefatigablezeal of Lient..Col. Jones, relative to theewnfort of the prisoners, and my obligation to that officer ano io Major Stanhope on this occasion, 1 am anxious too to do justice to the conduct of Gen. Biza. net, which, truly characteristic of a brave man, has been marked from the first with the most kind and human at. tention to the prisoners. He has sent me the name of an officer, prisoner in England, formerly his Aide-de-Camp, and I would gladly hope that, in compliment to the Gen. this officer would be immediately released without exchange.
