- 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.

vernors, Governors, this wickedness is hut of two kinds; —in-the first
place tyranny, and in thekecond ambition ; by the first
of winch they oppress their own people, and by the latter,
arc the scourges and desolaturs of the world.
It has been suggested, however, by some of the daily
writers, and very erroaeonsty, that this example still wasfe
something of its completeness by the subject of it
suflered to live ; that it was the duty of the AJllitd
eigns to consign Bonaparte to the punishment which
merits, and that his escape With life, and particularly
a provision for his comfort and independence, is so much
detracted from the just rule and meaenreof his p
ment, and therein so much wanting to the prefectneesof
the example.
H is sufficient answer to this object, to consider thess.
ture of punishment. Now punishment, as exercised fjj
one human being over another, has but two ends,—
ly, the removal of (he evil or the cause of evil, and (fe
s-itbfactiou to themjured laws of right of society by

rives. arrives. as it in legal succession or civil proprietorship. M®
do not remember in all history, indeed, such an example
as the City of Paris now presents,—An hostile and invad invading
ing invading army going to and through the gates and streets, winhl
all the Councils of the Country, the Senate, the Legisla Legislative,
tive, Legislative, and the Administrative Bodies execute their function*
as tranquilly as in the most profound Peace. The con conduct
duct conduct of the Citizens of i’ari*. indeed, is as extraordirary,
and in this point of view is as comui< ndable, as that of th®
Allied Sovereigns ; for never was performed so important
a Drama with so little of malignity. *
With respect to the New Constitution of France, it
resembles, in a great degree, our own happy system, which
all tha French writers, and, still more particularly, all heF
Statesmen who have resided in England, have always held
»p as the pci fee fion of political wisdom. —But as the pat*
ties now in France, the Senate and Legislative Body, hav®
their own particular interest to provide for, and could on only
ly only accomplish their own security by reserviftg to them themselves
selves themselves a great degree of controuilng power, it w ill be see®
that lbs Aristvcracy, or Suuate, muqh mor® powerful
than, the House of Lords, amongst us, with whose func functions
tions functions it corresponds.—The limits to its number tend to
give a perpetual Majority to the party now composing it.
—The present Senate in number is 130; and is not to ex exceed
ceed exceed 200; so that'the King can only add a minority of
70; and as the Princes of the Blood, and the great Peers
of France, must necessaiily have a seat, he is almost en entirely
tirely entirely precluded from mew creations.
There is a double disadvantage, therefore, in this lirni.
fafiun.—ln the first place, the Monarch has not that au.
thority and influence which he should havcih the Senate;
an J secondly, the Legislative Body, and the people them-,
lehes, Are precluded from one of the great objects of pub public
lic public ambition, and, therein, of one of the greatest incite incitements
ments incitements to public service.
It has a third disadvantage perhaps equally great.—A
limited Aristocracy is necessarily a body by itself; it has
no sympathy with the people; it has therefore that into intolerable
lerable intolerable |>rije w Li. h rendersit a subject of more invidious,
ness than the power of the Monarch himself.—lt becomes
hither too powerful for the Sovereign, in which case it
checks him in the exercise of his salutary authority; or
like the Doge, and Senate, in the ancient Constitution of
V nice, it assimilates, and becomes one with him, and
bt> h concurring together render the people Nothing.
The Legislative Body has a nearer correspondence with
nur English House of Commons, except in two points.—
' first and most important difference is, that tho Mem Mem’.
’. Mem’. .. a. io be chosen by Electoral Colleges; the sec*
i-,. : 'r> li is ’.• Jy. as w< II as the Senate, is to assemble of
r xear on the Ist. of October.—This is cvnlciiV’v
â– cijif rhe Royal authority-*-Bu> the prerogative
. here;*. ndc'uudied hy (he influence which it will
r- ■i! * fc Mi*h i’i the Wectora! Co'legcs.
J is o the Senate and Legish’ivo Body an
[ . p†c. - ir, in the present stsue and representation
of Fiance, wh; re the country Gentlemen are not suffici sufficiently
ently sufficiently numerous, and sufficiently rich, to bear the expence
of a long resilience in the capital; and where the institu institution
tion institution itself, from its novelty, wan’s that honourable splcn.
do* r, which renders it an object of ambition, as amongst
t>*isc!ve« in England.--The Trial by Jury, and- the in independence
dependence independence of (he Judges arc provided for—What may be
called tin locality of actions, that is to say, that no one
can be ivn ov.d irom his natural Judges, is an excellent
• canty against any unfair d
I he nomination of three persons, upon the vacancy of
a J udicial office, out of which the Monarch is to elect on<,
ican unwise infringement of what ought to be the Royal
Prerogative.— It renders the Judges independant of the
King; but does it not rqualy render them subservient to
the people?—A popular, or factions Judge, is amove real
dinger than a roiir'ly one. .♦
Til?executive, with the exception of the diminutions
above m otioned, which are very serious ones, and some
of .vmrh are nut calculated to preserve the public peace,
has the usual prerogatives of the other European Sovereigns
We must not, however, upon the whole, blindly com compliment
pliment compliment this Constitution of France. It is rather Aristo Aristocratic
cratic Aristocratic than popular, and m ire popular than Monarchical
The Crown wants a good deal of that splendour which is
Accessary to render it awful in the sight of the people ;
and there arc too many points in which the Senate and Le Legislative
gislative Legislative Body are protruded forth independent of it.
In our own Constitution, tho Roy al authority is held
forth to the peopled* supreme and the King is not so much
prevented from doing any thing, as he is afterwards made
res Hinsible it) the persons of his Ministers for doing
wrong. But in the French Constitution, the spirit of de democratic
mocratic democratic independ nee, and a licentious liberty, are che.
rishtd and called forth in the people, by having repeated
instances before their eyes of a power superior to the King
Tins is a mai • defect, as well as it lessens the salutary in.
fl'ic*’i’ of the Royal authority upon the vulgar, and gains
nothing but what might equally have been gained, by the
preservation of the full prerogative, controuled in its ex.
ercisc by the responsibility of Ministers.
. We trust, as the spirit of the times become* more tran tranq
q tranq til, that, for the happiness of France, their Constitution
will be improved into a nearer resemblance with that of
Great Britain, which, by a due mixture of popular Liber Liberty,
ty, Liberty, abd Royal Authority, has held an equal and straight,
forward course, for so many centuries and has brought us
l»fe out of so long and sq many calamities.
* WEST INDIA CONVOY.
( From the Greenock Advertiser of the 4th of April, 18 i 4.)
lo the surprize arid diappoinfment of etery person con connected
nected connected with the West Ind.a colonies, it has been announ announced
ced announced (official y, we arc informed) that it is net expected
any convoy will be appointed to sail from thence before
the month of May. This unaccountable neglect of the
best interests of the country may be attended with the
inos serious consequences. At the colonies of Surinam,
Berbice, and Dcmerary alone, there were upwards of 50
sail of vessels fnlly loaded on the Ist of February, besides
about the same number in the windward Islands; and, at
that time it was daily expected that a ship of war would
appear to give them protection to the usual place of ren rendezvous;
dezvous; rendezvous; where, it was supposed, they would immediate immediately
ly immediately get convoy for tne passage home; but what must have
been the feelings of those concerted, when, shortly after,
the mortifying intelligence was communicated, that no
convoy would be granted them until the month of May ?
What has become of our mighty navy, when a single ship
ranuot be spaced for the protection of ihe valuah e West
India trade between tne ino-iths of October and May.—
can it be supposed that half-a-dozen American frigates are
be cause of all this mischief ?
L.-tween the Board of Custom and the Board of Ad Admirtliy,
mirtliy, Admirtliy, people connected with shipping are placed in au
• kwurd predicament ; the former have been pleased to
nelie orders, d.reeling that four mouths provisions only
‘hall be allowed to the crew of a ship going on a W est In.
di.! voyage; while, according to the measures ud'> td by
t>>t . it will require fudy nine months to perform this
voya the ships above alluded to having mostly left this
cioiuTy i i t-i mouth A October, and some of them at an
cut Hi; , liod.— In ir, > tof the colonies provisions cannot
be pits chr ud ; how ' ..i are th se slips to be supplied
daring their '.i.- w JrFy p*<,triced .stay abroad?
But sure’y it cannot come to this extr.’inity——remon extr.’inity——remonstrances
strances extr.’inity——remonstrances would qour in fruit; a'l qu-ntcrs; and unless the
Admiral can show string r asixis for actin-.. otherwise, he
would certainly be induced to alter bis putt, and fix a
much earlier day fur the departure of he convoy.
Baris Papers of a late date contain a pointed Proclama.
tion from Marshal Augereau to liisam y, in which he treats
Bonaparte with gal|i’*g sev-rify, a-.* inritvs his. corps
d’artneeto submit to the G->r ment of the Bourbons.
It is a curious fact, though it .ill not excite the astonish,
ment of judicious ob-M; that those persons who were
most submissive to I. aanarte, while vested with supreme
inthority,no*v s .ak of him with most harshness. Among
he acts of the late Tyrant enumerated by Augereau, as
roving him unworthy of empire, hementions bis conduct
subsequent to his deposition, which the Marshal brands as
he effect of cowardice, saying that he had not the cour courage
age courage to di? like a soldier.—The brave General Leconrbe,
he intimate friend of Moreau, has been recalled from the
state of retirement and inaction, to which the jealousy of
the Corsican had condemned him, and has been restored
by Monsieur to his former rank.
The Allies have required from France a contribution of
1,5(X) million of France (upwards of 62 millions sterling) ;
that as a guarantee for ihe payment of that contribution,
fifteen French fortresses are to bo placed in the hands of
the Allies; and that a fortress Is to be returned to France
for every ICO million paid off so that the whole shall be
paid oil m fifteen years. We apprehend that thedistribut.

ORIGINAL POETRY.
iRREOUtAR LINES Off NAPOLEON BONAPARTE.
Do Id ream ! or do 1 wake!
Is the Sou of Storms no more?
He who badethe wide world shake,
Is his reign of terror o’er ?
I dream !—aiid o’er my ptartl’d soul
Wild delusion still has sway,
Splendid visions o’er it roll,
In the blaze of noon-tide day.
What but adream ! (hat he whose rod
Kept o’er the earth despotic sway,
Who breath’d defiance to his God,
.Should like a shade have pass’d away !
What but a dream—that he is now
Beneath the earth-worm crawling vile,
Who rais’d to Heav’n his darkling brow.
And view’d its terrors with a entUa.
What but a dream—that he is go'u»
Not as the mighty pass away,
But, like a wretch to nothing born,
Nor destin’d to one gloriops day !
What but a dream—that he has play’d
With crowns and sceptres at his will,
Now slave and robber turn’d—afraid
His recreant heart’s blase blood to spill I
Beset by those he laugh’d to scorn,
Borne from his conquei’d realms away,
Goaded by slaves ignobly'born,
By Cossack’s spikes—his route to sway,
He nho led armies, now is driven I
And is this then no mockery—
Napoleon who with Fate hath strive*
fel iijts — with power to die !
Aâ€d Can it be that giant might
On earth now grov’liug lies ;
That son of glory .fiercely bright '
Hath sunk no more to rise;
Satan thrown down from Heav’en’s height.
Ne’er sunk so low as thee,
Still proud in Hell—in fallen might
And sullen Majesty.
. Where is thy Roman virtue now ?
Thy stern contempt of death—
Thou fvar’st to see thy life-blood flow—*
*1 hou fear’st to yield thy breath !
W here is thy vaunted firmness fled ?
Oh, where! thou abject man!
Such dark dishonor round thy head,
1 o hoard life’s swindled span !
M< thought
The death that heroes die!
That if no*h ind would pierce they side
Thine ozc « would not deny.
Methought 1 saw thee matiiy rush
On thousand spear, upborne,
Disdainful view thy life-blood gnsh,
And die with smile of scorn.
’T was ow’d to an insulted world »
Thy proper part to-know ;
From such an height stupendous hurl’d
Ne’er to have sunk so lbw,
Yet, since thou art so base, so frail,
Greedy of life’s last s
They a >ject choice ’hau not avail—
A coward’s death is nigh!
Thy guards arc Cussackt—nre they not}
Tyrant—thou’rt iibw forlorn!
’T is scarce a hope they have forgot
Thy former bitter scorn!
If they have not—how sharp their spears!
How swiftly rous’d their rage !
If they have not—let thy base fears
Thy shameful end presage!
A word—a look, itiay rdge provoke,
Then vengeance forth will burst!
A Haste then—with wom in.’s tears invoke, »
.Mercy!—thou worm accurst,
Methinks I see thy shuddering blood
Creep m number’d streams,
Not rushing in a generous flood—
But pale with coward dreams !
Methinks 1 see them widdly pour
Around that sullen stream,
Eager to dim in Tyrant’s gore
Their sabre’s «parkiihg gleam ;
Methink unaided, and unmourn’d,
I see thee ’ -It to die,
Thy corse disfigur’d, hated, scorn’d,
On ea>t., unburied lie!
And was it to a worm like thee,
When clad in kingly power!
That trembling Nations bent the knee,
Thou upstart of an hour !
They name shall be a taunt of shame,
The future coward’s sting
E’en babes shall mocking lisp that name,
Napoleon— was a King!
Methought that men would never know
The secret of thy fate,
That fire from Heav’u would lay thee low,
Or change thy earthly state;
Or, that if fail’d the lightning’s flash,
Thyself would guard thy name,
- Unseen, beneath the wild wave dash,
An vanish—into fame !
But no—no comet! thou !—no star!
A scourge in Heav’n’s hand— handr
r handr Fore-doom’d to pour forth plague and war
O’er Europe’s sinful land!
Thy task is done—Almighty God !
Now easts thee far away,
A wretched despis’d worthless rod,
To moulder and decay.

Now, in Kings and Governors, this wickedness is hut of two kinds; —in-the first place tyranny, and in thekecond ambition ; by the first of winch they oppress their own people, and by the latter, arc the scourges and desolaturs of the world. It has been suggested, however, by some of the daily writers, and very erroaeonsty, that this example still wasfe something of its completeness by the subject of it suflered to live ; that it was the duty of the AJllitd eigns to consign Bonaparte to the punishment which merits, and that his escape With life, and particularly a provision for his comfort and independence, is so much detracted from the just rule and meaenreof his p ment, and therein so much wanting to the prefectneesof the example. H is sufficient answer to this object, to consider thess. ture of punishment. Now punishment, as exercised fjj one human being over another, has but two ends,— ly, the removal of (he evil or the cause of evil, and (fe s-itbfactiou to themjured laws of right of society by eMiniiiipie which goes forth in the punishment criminals Revenge, or the infliction goes forth of pain fur pain with, out lor»in> further, has no place in human righti-—Ty* kind of vetig ant e belonging only to t ie Governor ofj[ ot us.

Our own i>; uiion is, that this is the iuosl undoubted and. •he best praise of t' is Revulutibn that it lias been so trafl* qiiil’y ettcciui, and that, excepting the blood shed in bat* tie u.twcen th • contending armies, not a life has been loK in the most complete Revolution on modern record. A kjgdom has been conveyed-away from one Dynasty to another, with as much ease and as little formality as a priratk estate; and the one Sovereign departs and (he other arrives. as it in legal succession or civil proprietorship. M® do not remember in all history, indeed, such an example as the City of Paris now presents,—An hostile and invading army going to and through the gates and streets, winhl all the Councils of the Country, the Senate, the Legislative, and the Administrative Bodies execute their function* as tranquilly as in the most profound Peace. The conduct of the Citizens of i’ari*. indeed, is as extraordirary, and in this point of view is as comui< ndable, as that of th® Allied Sovereigns ; for never was performed so important a Drama with so little of malignity. * With respect to the New Constitution of France, it resembles, in a great degree, our own happy system, which all tha French writers, and, still more particularly, all heF Statesmen who have resided in England, have always held »p as the pci fee fion of political wisdom. —But as the pat* ties now in France, the Senate and Legislative Body, hav® their own particular interest to provide for, and could only accomplish their own security by reserviftg to themselves a great degree of controuilng power, it w ill be see® that lbs Aristvcracy, or Suuate, muqh mor® powerful

than, the House of Lords, amongst us, with whose functions it corresponds.—The limits to its number tend to give a perpetual Majority to the party now composing it. —The present Senate in number is 130; and is not to exceed 200; so that'the King can only add a minority of 70; and as the Princes of the Blood, and the great Peers of France, must necessaiily have a seat, he is almost entirely precluded from mew creations. There is a double disadvantage, therefore, in this lirni. fafiun.—ln the first place, the Monarch has not that au. thority and influence which he should havcih the Senate; an J secondly, the Legislative Body, and the people them-, lehes, Are precluded from one of the great objects of public ambition, and, therein, of one of the greatest incitements to public service. It has a third disadvantage perhaps equally great.—A limited Aristocracy is necessarily a body by itself; it has no sympathy with the people; it has therefore that intolerable |>rije w Li. h rendersit a subject of more invidious, ness than the power of the Monarch himself.—lt becomes hither too powerful for the Sovereign, in which case it checks him in the exercise of his salutary authority; or like the Doge, and Senate, in the ancient Constitution of V nice, it assimilates, and becomes one with him, and bt> h concurring together render the people Nothing. The Legislative Body has a nearer correspondence with nur English House of Commons, except in two points.— ' first and most important difference is, that tho Mem’. .. a. io be chosen by Electoral Colleges; the sec* i-,. : 'r> li is ’.• Jy. as w< II as the Senate, is to assemble of r xear on the Ist. of October.—This is cvnlciiV’v ¦cijif rhe Royal authority-*-Bu> the prerogative . here;*. ndc'uudied hy (he influence which it will r¦ i! * fc Mi*h i’i the Wectora!

J is o the Senate and Legish’ivo Body an [ . p” c. ir, in the present stsue and representation of Fiance, wh; re the country Gentlemen are not sufficiently numerous, and sufficiently rich, to bear the expence of a long resilience in the capital; and where the institution itself, from its novelty, wan’s that honourable splcn. do* r, which renders it an object of ambition, as amongst t>*isc!ve« in England.--The Trial by Jury, andthe independence of (he Judges arc provided for—What may be called tin locality of actions, that is to say, that no one can be ivn ov.d irom his natural Judges, is an excellent • canty against any unfair d td by t>>t . it will require fudy nine months to perform this voya the ships above alluded to having mostly left this cioiuTy i i t-i mouth A October, and some of them at an cut Hi; , liod.— In ir, > tof the colonies provisions cannot be pits chr ud ; how ' ..i are th se slips to be supplied daring their '.i.w JrFy p*<,triced .stay abroad? But sure’y it cannot come to this extr.’inity——remonstrances would qour in fruit; a'l qu-ntcrs; and unless the Admiral can show string r asixis for actin-.. otherwise, he would certainly be induced to alter bis putt, and fix a much earlier day fur the departure of he convoy. Baris Papers of a late date contain a pointed Proclama. tion from Marshal Augereau to liisam y, in which he treats Bonaparte with gal|i’*g sev-rify, a-.* inritvs his. corps d’artneeto submit to the G->r ment of the Bourbons. It is a curious fact, though it .ill not excite the astonish, ment of judicious ob-M; that those persons who were most submissive to I. aanarte, while vested with supreme inthority,no*v s .ak of him with most harshness. Among he acts of the late Tyrant enumerated by Augereau, as roving him unworthy of empire, hementions bis conduct subsequent to his deposition, which the Marshal brands as he effect of cowardice, saying that he had not the courage to di? like a soldier.—The brave General Leconrbe, he intimate friend of Moreau, has been recalled from the state of retirement and inaction, to which the jealousy of the Corsican had condemned him, and has been restored by Monsieur to his former rank. The Allies have required from France a contribution of 1,5(X) million of France (upwards of 62 millions sterling) ; that as a guarantee for ihe payment of that contribution, fifteen French fortresses are to bo placed in the hands of the Allies; and that a fortress Is to be returned to France for every ICO million paid off so that the whole shall be paid oil m fifteen years. We apprehend that thedistribut. ing of this sum wi I be among such of the Allies as have been ekpulied to ciintributions levi.’d by Bcnapartc. ORIGINAL POETRY. iRREOUtAR LINES Off NAPOLEON BONAPARTE.

Methought that men would never know The secret of thy fate, That fire from Heav’u would lay thee low, Or change thy earthly state; Or, that if fail’d the lightning’s flash, Thyself would guard thy name, Unseen, beneath the wild wave dash, An vanish—into fame ! But no—no comet! thou !—no star! A scourge in Heav’n’s hand—r Fore-doom’d to pour forth plague and war O’er Europe’s sinful land! Thy task is done—Almighty God ! Now easts thee far away, A wretched despis’d worthless rod, To moulder and decay.
