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.

The Almighty has heard and granted the
prayers of all nations. Bonaparte has ceas ceased
ed ceased to reign. A degree of the French Senate
has declared that he has forfeited al! right to
the throne. His dynasty is at an end. The
sceptre or rod of iron in his hands, is broken,
and the cause of human nature is at lenght
avenged. Os this glorious event, which we
announced yesterday, we lay before our readers
to-day the interesting details V. he iwe read

On a sudden from a state of war andbloodshcd
from being the sccneof military preparations
and alarm, Paris subsides into the proibundest
tranquillity. A capitulation, as our readers
know, was signed on the 30th. Joseph Bo Bonaparte,
naparte, Bonaparte, o‘s the true Bonaparte breed, ran
away as soon the danger became iurineat, and on
the 31st the Emperor of Russia, the King of
Prussia, and the Prince of Scv. a.tzenberg en entered

would have thought that they were the native
troops, not armies from the Vistula, and the
Oder, and the Don, and the Danube. Not the
least disorder ; not the slightest w ant of disci discipline,
pline, discipline, no pillage. The Cossacks and the Na National
tional National Guards mixed indiscriminately, and the
foe was immediately converted into a friend.
The Prince of Schwartzenberg’s Address to the
people of Paris was immediately published,
and prepared the way for the great event that
were to follow.
The Emperor of Russia, in the name of the
Allied Powers, declared that they would nev never

He invited the Senate to assemble, and name
a Provisional Government. But here we are
compelled by the publication of an Extraor Extraordinary

met and unanimously decreed on the evening
of the 2d April, that Bonaparte had .forfeited
