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.

    of losses, has been compelled to abdicate the Throne
    which he had usurped, and on which his fortune (as far
    as human foresight extended) appeared to have fixed him
    beyond the possibility of a removal.-—

    creditable to the officers. Ihe corps hiving gone through
    the ordinary manoeuvres, with precision tired a Salute of

    By an arrival from Demcrary this morning, we learn
    that the TYRANT of France has been obliged to abdicate
    the Throne of that Empire, which he has so long usurped
    to the misery of mankind in general, and is about to re retire
    tire retire to the Island of Elba, near the place of his nativity,
    on a pension.
    It is believed, that Louis the 18*I» is long ere this seated
    on the Throne of his ancestors, having been invited by
    the Provisional Government, by most of the town, in
    France; we may now soon expect a general Peace and Com Commerce,
    merce, Commerce, to bind the Nations in a Golden Chain, as the
    blockade of the I rer.cn ports is taken off, and free inter intercourse
    course intercourse with England allowed.
    We further learn by the same opportunity, that the
    Utter , American Privateer, had not been heard of in De.
    merary since Thursday week, when shewasin Porneroon,
    and it is generally supposed that she is gone to the Orono,

    made, not on Antwerp', but on b rg n-op-Zoom. Bcr.
    gen.op.Zoom is one of the fr<;ngi' i t towns in all Europe.
    We were encouraged to expect secrets, because it wa*
    known that the French garrison v. ish. d to evacuate it,
    and to throw its-k into Antwerp; a.l .11 that the tow n’s
    people were all in a inf ; ,t. Tlie Etifi-Ji aray, there therefore,

    hent. On the Bth, it suddenly marched to Fort Libuand
    Bergen. op-Zoom; all thee places only being a few hours
    march from each other. Th.: object proposed to Im at.
    tacked was given out to be Fort Lillo, which lies between
    Bergen and Antwerp. Ihe former, however, was only
    masked; and the real attack was made on Bergen on the
    same night. Bergen is on a rising ground or hill, the on.
    ly one in the country, protected by a marsh on the S. E.
    and watered by the little river Zoom, which is divided by
    dykes and canals. On the west it is washed by a branch
    of the Scheldt. The assault was made by two brigades,
    ’imultancously, on the north side, next Tholen, and on
    east. The Major. Gen. Skcrrctt commanded
    the attack. He had some time before broke his leg by a
    fall from his horse, from which he was not recovered. The
    other brigade was conducted by Major. Gen. Gore, Ist
    Guards, Ist Royals, and 44 th, with a detachment of the
    91»t. It traversed a frozcnmorals, cleared the empale.
    Ments andchevaux-de.frise, and scaled the ramparts; they
    actually got into the town undicovered. The other bri brittle,
    ttle, brittle, consisting of the 55th, G9th, and 33d, and some of
    fne 21st and 37th, also assaulted by escalade, but was
    Vigorously opposed. The enemy raised up the ladders from
    tactop of the ramparts with hooks, and dashed down the
    tneij oa the frozen ditches; the gates weruhowever forced

    open from the inside, and the greater part of the assailants
    entered. The garrison, though surprized, was not thrown
    into confusion: itiailied, iined the houses on each side the
    •street with musketry, an.l enfiladed them with grape-shot
    and howi'.zershells. TneG.mrds wercdiawn op, and pre prepared
    pared prepared to tire by platoons, w hen they w ere ordered to throw
    out their priming and to charge. They advanced at the
    />«.? de but they met nothing but showers ofgrape,
    canister-shot, and bullets. Almost all the brigade was laid
    prostrate; nor did the other brigade suffer less, though they
    only gained the ramparts ; in short, it was very like the
    Buenos Ayres business, only that no blame can possibly
    attach to our brave vet ia i Commiitder; in fact, nothing
    could be better planned tnaa the attack, or more heroical heroically
    ly heroically executed. The two leaders, Generals Gore and Sker Skerrelt,
    relt, Skerrelt, were literally piece d with balls —the first fell dead
    on the heaps of s am, bat Gen. Skerrett has survived.
    The corps began now to retreat ; but here the enemy feel,
    ing his strength and hi* vantage ground, shut the gates
    Many threw themselves over the ramparts, but the greater
    number remained in the town, killed, wounded, and pri prisoners.
    soners. prisoners. To intercept th? retreat, the French opened the
    sluices, which flooded the d\ kes over the ice. ’Three lines
    o' works and three courses of d.k s had the retreaters to
    pass under showers of round and grape, and shells, before
    they could be safe; yet, numbers of wounded men, with
    balls in their bodies, got over all; numbers were also
    drowned in the attempt. It was a moonlight night, but
    occasionally clouded ; no blur-lights, Ajc. were exhibited,
    but the aim was notless sure, nor the fire less des! ructive.
    Os about 150 ) nun engaged in the assault, it is said on only
    ly only 1500 escaped. We trust, however, the loss will turn
    out not so great. The enemy will boast of having taken
    two pair of colours, but (here was no honour lost—they
    wire lost only when their gallant defenders ceased to
    breathe. The enemy’s Gemral, wlim? name I have not
    yet learnt, behaved w ith urbanity, lie sent a flag of truce
    to propote giving up the worst wound J men, which pro proposal
    posal proposal was accepted, and between six and seven hundred
    were delivered to us at the Antwerp gate.”
    Blucher ’s retreat to Laon was tne consequence of a con conceited
    ceited conceited plan—Laon aiiorditig uiia of the finest positions for
    an army, it stands on a hill, and thus rendered his left

    The 3d Battalion of the Burgher Militia, tinder the Command of Ma,or Schwiers, was inspected on their parade ground this morning, by His Excellency the Governor; the appearance of the 3d Battalion was highly creditable to the officers. Ihe corps hiving gone through the ordinary manoeuvres, with precision tired a Salute of three volleys, honor of the day. By an arrival from Demcrary this morning, we learn that the TYRANT of France has been obliged to abdicate the Throne of that Empire, which he has so long usurped to the misery of mankind in general, and is about to retire to the Island of Elba, near the place of his nativity, on a pension. It is believed, that Louis the 18*I» is long ere this seated on the Throne of his ancestors, having been invited by the Provisional Government, by most of the town, in France; we may now soon expect a general Peace and Commerce, to bind the Nations in a Golden Chain, as the blockade of the I rer.cn ports is taken off, and free intercourse with England allowed. We further learn by the same opportunity, that the Utter , American Privateer, had not been heard of in De. merary since Thursday week, when shewasin Porneroon, and it is generally supposed that she is gone to the Orono, que. —It is much wished that our cruizers may be on the alert and retaliate the mischief we have suffered.

Bcr. gen.op.Zoom is one of the fr<;ngi' i t towns in all Europe. We were encouraged to expect secrets, because it wa* known that the French garrison v. ish. d to evacuate it, and to throw its-k into Antwerp; a.l .11 that the tow n’s people were all in a inf ; ,t. Tlie Etifi-Ji aray, therefore, advanccil from ail c iiit.m in irs on tile Gth and 7th, towards Antwerp, th ii. a-.i.quarters being at Kahn, hent. On the Bth, it suddenly marched to Fort Libuand Bergen. op-Zoom; all thee places only being a few hours march from each other. Th.: object proposed to Im at. tacked was given out to be Fort Lillo, which lies between Bergen and Antwerp. Ihe former, however, was only masked; and the real attack was made on Bergen on the same night. Bergen is on a rising ground or hill, the on. ly one in the country, protected by a marsh on the S. E. and watered by the little river Zoom, which is divided by dykes and canals. On the west it is washed by a branch of the Scheldt. The assault was made by two brigades, ’imultancously, on the north side, next Tholen, and on east. The Major. Gen. Skcrrctt commanded the attack. He had some time before broke his leg by a fall from his horse, from which he was not recovered. The other brigade was conducted by Major. Gen. Gore, Ist Guards, Ist Royals, and 44 th, with a detachment of the 91»t. It traversed a frozcnmorals, cleared the empale. Ments andchevaux-de.frise, and scaled the ramparts; they actually got into the town undicovered. The other brittle, consisting of the 55th, G9th, and 33d, and some of fne 21st and 37th, also assaulted by escalade, but was Vigorously opposed. The enemy raised up the ladders from tactop of the ramparts with hooks, and dashed down the tneij oa the frozen ditches; the gates weruhowever forced open from the inside, and the greater part of the assailants entered. The garrison, though surprized, was not thrown into confusion: itiailied, iined the houses on each side the •street with musketry, an.l enfiladed them with grape-shot and howi'.zershells. TneG.mrds wercdiawn op, and prepared to tire by platoons, w hen they w ere ordered to throw out their priming and to charge. They advanced at the />«.? de but they met nothing but showers ofgrape, canister-shot, and bullets. Almost all the brigade was laid prostrate; nor did the other brigade suffer less, though they only gained the ramparts ; in short, it was very like the Buenos Ayres business, only that no blame can possibly attach to our brave vet ia i Commiitder; in fact, nothing could be better planned tnaa the attack, or more heroically executed. The two leaders, Generals Gore and Skerrelt, were literally piece d with balls —the first fell dead on the heaps of s am, bat Gen. Skerrett has survived. The corps began now to retreat ; but here the enemy feel, ing his strength and hi* vantage ground, shut the gates Many threw themselves over the ramparts, but the greater number remained in the town, killed, wounded, and prisoners. To intercept th? retreat, the French opened the sluices, which flooded the d\ kes over the ice. ’Three lines o' works and three courses of d.k s had the retreaters to pass under showers of round and grape, and shells, before they could be safe; yet, numbers of wounded men, with balls in their bodies, got over all; numbers were also drowned in the attempt. It was a moonlight night, but occasionally clouded ; no blur-lights, Ajc. were exhibited, but the aim was notless sure, nor the fire less des! ructive. Os about 150 ) nun engaged in the assault, it is said only 1500 escaped. We trust, however, the loss will turn out not so great. The enemy will boast of having taken two pair of colours, but (here was no honour lost—they wire lost only when their gallant defenders ceased to breathe. The enemy’s Gemral, wlim? name I have not yet learnt, behaved w ith urbanity, lie sent a flag of truce to propote giving up the worst wound J men, which proposal was accepted, and between six and seven hundred were delivered to us at the Antwerp gate.” Blucher ’s retreat to Laon was tne consequence of a conceited plan—Laon aiiorditig uiia of the finest positions for an army, it stands on a hill, and thus rendered his left almost impregnable, whilst his ii lit extended to the fortress of La Fere and the river Serre.
