- 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.

constant practice and habit of walking during the
night from one plantatfon to another, and there as assembling,
sembling, assembling, in direct violation of the positive orders
and ordinances made and provided by us against
such transgressions; and whereas we have lately seen
the ill effect which arose from such irregular and
reprehensible conduct, and being fully impressed
with the urgent necessity which exists for a rigid ob observance
servance observance of our ancient Saluntary Regulations, with
regard to the conduct ot Slaves ;as also that by the
exertion of due vigilance, the recurrence of similar
evils may be prevented, and a stop put to the frequent

when pissing up and down the Rivers and Creeks of

NEW AMSTERDAM,
Saturday, July 16, 1814.
The Pilot Boat which arrived this morning from Suri Surinam,
nam, Surinam, brought our Mail for the month May, with intelli intelligence
gence intelligence to the 25th of this month. The lateness of the hour
at which we came in possession of the papers prevent our
making any selection this day, but we propose issuing a
Supplement on Wednesday next, with the most interest,
ing points which the London papers contain. The Pre Preliminaries
liminaries Preliminaries of Peace were not signed on the 25th May.
The privateers have done much mischief on the coast of
Demerary, reported tu have taken 7 and burnt 1 vtssels.
in face of the fort. The privateer off Surinam chased a
vessel into that river. There is a report that two sloops
of war had sailed from Barbados for Surinam.
The Mail to be forwarded to Europe, by the Queen
Charlotte Packet, wil. be made up at the Post Office here
precisely at 2 o'clock on Friday the 22d iust, after which
hour no letters will be received.
Wc are happy to learn that our Dispatch Boat is save
arrived in Demerary—- so that we soon may expect her
here.
AMERICA.
REPEALOF THE EMBARGO ANDNON-IMPOR ANDNON-IMPORTATION
TATION ANDNON-IMPORTATION ACTS.
Extract of a Letter, sent express from H ashington, to
Neu-York, dated April 7, in the Evening,
“I send an express to New. York, with thie letter,
that it may be in season to go by the Chauncey.
“The House of Representatives have this day, by a
very great majority, passed a Bill repealing the Embargo
and Non-liupoitation Laws, which Bill will pass the
Senate in a day or two, by an unanimous vote, or nearly
so. The free importation of British manufactured goods
will, after this weik, be al owed into a I the ports of the
United States, in neutral ships, on accounts of persons
residing in neutral countries.â€
The President’s Message bear ample testimony of the
humbled tone and demeanour of the servile adherent of the
lately tyrant of France ; and as these were so strikingly
manifested before the Despost’s overthrow was effected,
or at least before any advice of that event could have
reached America, w e may reasonably expect that a due
knowledge of it will produce unqualified submission on
the part of Mr. Madison, as the only means of saving
him from the effects of our provoked vengeance, if not also
those of the resentment of the people of the United States,
whose confidence he has so much abused, and whose in.
tcrcsts he has sacrificed to his own prefidious purposes.
Paris, May 19.—The peace is signed: such at least is
the universal assertion; and every one pretends to have
received his information from an authenticsource. It has
not yet been published, it is added, because the ratificati ratification
on ratification of the Prince Regent of England is waited for. The
following, occording to report, are the principal conditi conditions
ons conditions of a treaty which must constitute the happiness of na.
tions:—Guadaloupe, Martinique, and St. Domingo, to
be restored to France, who will also recover the Isle of
France, and have two factories on the Malabar and Coro Coromandel
mandel Coromandel coasts; one half of the ships and artillery in for fortresses
tresses fortresses now occupied by the allied armies, to be restored
to her: a pert of Belgium to remain her’s, together with
all the districts «u cl used within her territory, such as
Mulhausen, the Contat, &c. There shall be no talk*
either of contributions, war expences, or any other extra,
ordinary imposition : no picture, nor any monument of
the arts, will be removed. *
Madrid, May 6.—Most of the Grandees have follow followed
ed followed the example of the Duke del In fa nt ado, and King Fer Ferdinand
dinand Ferdinand is surrounded with the principal chiefs of the no nobility.
bility. nobility. Many prelates also repair to that youg monarch.
The Cortes appear determined to persevere in their sys system
tem system of rigorously giving the law, and hold up their con constitutional
stitutional constitutional charter philosophically decreed in the Isla 9
which was sheltered from ail the dangers of war.
Gen. Lacy, of Irish origin, has been placed at the head
of the troops which the liberal party has collected to sup support
port support its cause.
However, the arrival of the King is announced for the
14th inst.; so that the struggle approaches its close. Fer Ferdinand
dinand Ferdinand has the most beneficent intentions; but opposi opposition,
tion, opposition, instead of weakening, only inflames the pretensions
of each party.
Hanover, May 6.— His Royal Highness the Duke of
Cam budge will depart in a few days for Holland, whence
he will return with the Hered. Prince of Orange into Eng England,
land, England, fur the marriage us her Royal Highaess the Princess
Charlotte of Wales. It is not known whether that Prince
will afterwards go to Pari* as it has been announced.
The Duke of Clarence has struck his flag on board the
Impregnable, in the Downs, and returned to town, advice
having been received that the Emperor of Russia and the
King of Prussia did not propose leaving Paris before the
Bth of June.
The Allied artniesareon their march home; and the de departure
parture departure of the Crowned Heads from Paris for London has
been delayed only hy the temporary obstacles that occur occurred
red occurred to the signature of the Treaty of Peace, but which by
this time have been happily removed. The Emperor of
Russia lately visited Prince Eugene at the Castle of Saint
Leu, at Montmorency, where he dined with him, his mo mother
ther mother and sister. This is the first notice of Josephine and
the ci-devant Queen of Holland, that we have read in ths
Paris Papers.—The Emperor of Austria is now styled
Emperor of Germany. This is as it ougt to be—the
Emperor Francis is, by all means, entitled to resume hia
former rank and influence in Germany, the Empire of
which will be restored under the powerfull suspicesof that
Monarch.—There is no further mention of Bona; a/tu.
The French Government is assembling a gnat military
force at Lisle, and apparently they do not wish to let tra travel
vel travel ers pass through Flanders. Three English Gentlemen
returning from Paris to England, by Brussels, last week*
though provided with passports, countersigned hy Lord
Castlereagh, were stopped by Central St. Cyr, and no*
suffered to proceed. They were obliged to return ami
take their journey by the direct route to Calais.
By some of the French papers it is again assorted that
Peace is signed, and that the publication of the Treaty on only
ly only waifs the ratification of the Prince Regent of England.
By it, we are told, Guadaloupe, Martinique, St. Domingo*
and the Isle of France are to be restored to France, who
is also to be allowed two factories on the coasts of Ma Malabar
labar Malabar and Coromandel; she is to have a part of Belgium ;
no monument of the arts is to be taken away, &c.—From
the nature of the terms, we may conclude that this is but
another premeture report, and that these rumours express
only the wishes of the writers. Such terms are etp.ally
inconsistent with policy and with justice.
Lord Walpole arrived at Hanover, he is to go to Pa»
tersburgh in quality as Ambassador from England.
A corps of 1400 lancers is to be raised at Hanover.

Be it known : ” HE ELLAS It has been reported to us by the different Burgher Officers of this Government, and others, tbit Negroes belonging to the respective Estates within the jurisdiction of this colony, are in constant practice and habit of walking during the night from one plantatfon to another, and there assembling, in direct violation of the positive orders and ordinances made and provided by us against such transgressions; and whereas we have lately seen the ill effect which arose from such irregular and reprehensible conduct, and being fully impressed with the urgent necessity which exists for a rigid observance of our ancient Saluntary Regulations, with regard to the conduct ot Slaves ;as also that by the exertion of due vigilance, the recurrence of similar evils may be prevented, and a stop put to the frequent complaints made to ns on the subject of the Negroes appertaining to this Government; we do now hereby issue our Ordersand Directions to all Owners, Proprietors or Administrators of Estates and Negroes, as well as to the different Burgher < Hlicers of the colony; that no Negroes under any pretext shall be allowed to proceed from one Estate to another, or depart from the Estate, Property, or Place to which he, or they belong, or are working on, or proceed from the Town New Amsterdam to Estates without thp precincts of the Town New Amsterdam, without being provided with a written pass from their Masters or Persons having charge of them; which pass shall spt cify the name of the Negroe, of his Owner, whither going, and the date when permitted to absent himself from the Estate and when to return. —And should notwithstanding this our Order, any Negroe or Negroes be found on the public roads or from off the Estates to which they belong, unprovided with a proper pass from their Masters, all the Subjects of this Government are required to aid and assist in securing such Offender or Offenders, ami carrying them forthwith to the Burgher Captain of the Division, and inhisabsencc to the next Senior Officer in loco, inorder that such Negroe or Negroes found straying without a proper pass, may be punished at the discretion of the Burgher Captain or Senior Officer in loco, by the infliction of any number of lashes, not exceeding thirty nine; and we in consequence declare as abrogated and made void by these presents, all such parts of | any of our former Piuckimatiom, whereby Slaves No. 519. [Payable in advance. arrested without a pass were required forthwith to be delivered to his Honor the Fiscal. , And we do hereby warn and caution all Masters of Slaves, Proprietors, and Administrators of Estates to pay proper attention and guard against any trespass of this our Proclamation, the penalty whereof we positively order to be fully enforced, without consideration of Persons to whom the Offenders may belong. ** And in order the better to ensure due obedience tel this our Order, the Burgher Captain of each district shall be furnished with printed copies of this Publication, that the same may be generally distributed throughout the colony. And whereas we are informed that in disobedience of the existing orders enacted to the contrary, Proprietors of Negroes, still permit the said Negroes, when pissing up and down the Rivers and Creeks of this colony, to sing shout or express themselves to other Negroes on different Estates, in certain songs tending to inflame and produce improper effect on their minds; and whereas such practise is not alone contrary Io Law, but is often limes productive of inischiei, we therefore absolutely ami peremptorily forbid any Owner, Proprietors, Administrators, or oilier Persons having charge of Negroes, from allowing their own Negroes, or such as they have charge of, from singing, shouting, or making outcry in boats, within the River and Creeks of this colony, under a penajly of One hundred guilders, which the Proprietor, Administrator, or Person having charge of such Negroes, shall pay to his Honor the Fiscal. Ami should any Slaves while in any kind of boat N unaccompanied by any white Person dare to sing shout, or raise outcry in manner as aforesaid, such Negroe Negroes shall be punished with any number of lashes not exceeding One hundred, winch the Fiscal, Burgher Captain, or Senior Officer in loro, shall arbitrarily inflict upon the Offender or Offenders on being brought before him for this purpose. And we do hereby order and direct the Fiscal of the colony am|a|l other Subjectsof this Government, 10 arrest and, AV and aid in arresting any and all Negroes be found singing in boats, and we do such of the Inhabitants of this colony witness such misconduct to report the same tomis4lonor the Fiscal, who is strictly enjoined to proceed aginsl the Offender or Offenders. Lastly we Order and Direct, that the pecuniary fine to be imposed on the transgressors of this out Order, be divided as follows ; namely : one third to the Fiscal, one third to the Poor fund of the Reformed Church of this colony, and the remaining one third to the Informer.

To all whom these presents shall conic WHEREAS I have received the Commands of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, in the Name and Behalf of His Majesty, to give ' Publicity of the following Proclamation: In obedience therefore, to the Orders I have been Honored with.—Official Notification is hereby made to the Inhabitants of this Government, of the Suspension of Hostilities between Great Britain and France.

Highness Monsieur, Brother of the Most Christian King, Lieutenant General of the Kingdom of France: And whereas for the putting an End to the Calamities of War, as soon and as far as may be possible; It hath been agreed between Ilis Majesty and His Most Christian Majesty, as follows; that is to say, that as soon as the Convention shall be signed and ratified, Friendship •hould be established between H s Majesty and the King, dom of France by Sea and Laud in all Parts of the World; And in order to prevent all Causes of Complaint and Dis. pute which might arise with respect to Prizes that might be made at Seaafter the Signature of the said Convention ; It has alio been reciprocally agreed, That the Vessels and Effects which might be taken in the English Channel and In the North Seas, after the Spare of Twelve Days, to be reckoned from the Exchange of the Ratifications of the •aid Convention, should be restored on both Sides; That the Perm should be One Month within the British Channel and North Seat to the Canary Islands and to the Equator, and Five Months in every other Part of the World, without any Exception or other particular Dis. tinction of Time or of Place: And whereas the Ratifications of the said Convention were exchanged by the respective Plenipotentiaries above mentioned on the 3d day •f this instant May, from which day the several Terms above mentioned, of Twelve days, of One Month, and Five Months, are to be computed : Now, in order that the several Epochs fixed as aforesaid between His Majesty and His Most Christian Majesty should be generally known and observed, Wc have thought fit, in the Name andon the Behalf of His Majesty’s and by and with the Advice of His Majesty’s Privy Council, to notify the •ameto His Majesty’s loving Subjects,; And We do here, by, in the Name and on the Behalf of His Majesty, strictly charge and command all His Majesty’s Officers, both atSef*and Land, and all other His Majesty’s Subjects Whatsoever, that they forbear all Acts of Hostility, cither by Sea or Land, against the Kingdom of France, Her Al. lies, Her Vassals, or Subjects, under the Penalty es in. •urring His Majesty’s highest Displeasure.

Notice is hereby given, that the horses and cattle, belonging to persons unlicensed, and in future found trespassing within the colony Town, will be seized and impounded. King’s House, 16th July, 1814. By Command, F. WHITE, Gov. Sec. THE BERBICE GAZETTE. ¦e -— NEW AMSTERDAM, Saturday, July 16, 1814. The Pilot Boat which arrived this morning from Surinam, brought our Mail for the month May, with intelligence to the 25th of this month. The lateness of the hour at which we came in possession of the papers prevent our making any selection this day, but we propose issuing a Supplement on Wednesday next, with the most interest, ing points which the London papers contain. The Preliminaries of Peace were not signed on the 25th May. The privateers have done much mischief on the coast of Demerary, reported tu have taken 7 and burnt 1 vtssels. in face of the fort. The privateer off Surinam chased a vessel into that river. There is a report that two sloops of war had sailed from Barbados for Surinam. The Mail to be forwarded to Europe, by the Queen Charlotte Packet, wil. be made up at the Post Office here precisely at 2 o'clock on Friday the 22d iust, after which hour no letters will be received. Wc are happy to learn that our Dispatch Boat is save arrived in Demerary—so that we soon may expect her here. AMERICA. REPEALOF THE EMBARGO ANDNON-IMPORTATION ACTS. Extract of a Letter, sent express from H ashington, to Neu-York, dated April 7, in the Evening, “I send an express to New. York, with thie letter, that it may be in season to go by the Chauncey. “The House of Representatives have this day, by a very great majority, passed a Bill repealing the Embargo and Non-liupoitation Laws, which Bill will pass the Senate in a day or two, by an unanimous vote, or nearly so. The free importation of British manufactured goods will, after this weik, be al owed into a I the ports of the United States, in neutral ships, on accounts of persons residing in neutral countries.” The President’s Message bear ample testimony of the humbled tone and demeanour of the servile adherent of the lately tyrant of France ; and as these were so strikingly manifested before the Despost’s overthrow was effected, or at least before any advice of that event could have reached America, w e may reasonably expect that a due knowledge of it will produce unqualified submission on the part of Mr. Madison, as the only means of saving him from the effects of our provoked vengeance, if not also those of the resentment of the people of the United States, whose confidence he has so much abused, and whose in. tcrcsts he has sacrificed to his own prefidious purposes. Paris, May 19.—The peace is signed: such at least is the universal assertion; and every one pretends to have received his information from an authenticsource. It has not yet been published, it is added, because the ratification of the Prince Regent of England is waited for. The following, occording to report, are the principal conditions of a treaty which must constitute the happiness of na. tions:—Guadaloupe, Martinique, and St. Domingo, to be restored to France, who will also recover the Isle of France, and have two factories on the Malabar and Coromandel coasts; one half of the ships and artillery in fortresses now occupied by the allied armies, to be restored to her: a pert of Belgium to remain her’s, together with all the districts «u cl used within her territory, such as Mulhausen, the Contat, &c. There shall be no talk* either of contributions, war expences, or any other extra, ordinary imposition : no picture, nor any monument of the arts, will be removed. * Madrid, May 6.—Most of the Grandees have followed the example of the Duke del In fa nt ado, and King Ferdinand is surrounded with the principal chiefs of the nobility. Many prelates also repair to that youg monarch. The Cortes appear determined to persevere in their system of rigorously giving the law, and hold up their constitutional charter philosophically decreed in the Isla 9 which was sheltered from ail the dangers of war. Gen. Lacy, of Irish origin, has been placed at the head of the troops which the liberal party has collected to support its cause. However, the arrival of the King is announced for the 14th inst.; so that the struggle approaches its close. Ferdinand has the most beneficent intentions; but opposition, instead of weakening, only inflames the pretensions of each party. Hanover, May 6.— His Royal Highness the Duke of Cam budge will depart in a few days for Holland, whence he will return with the Hered. Prince of Orange into England, fur the marriage us her Royal Highaess the Princess Charlotte of Wales. It is not known whether that Prince will afterwards go to Pari* as it has been announced. The Duke of Clarence has struck his flag on board the Impregnable, in the Downs, and returned to town, advice having been received that the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia did not propose leaving Paris before the Bth of June. The Allied artniesareon their march home; and the departure of the Crowned Heads from Paris for London has been delayed only hy the temporary obstacles that occurred to the signature of the Treaty of Peace, but which by this time have been happily removed. The Emperor of Russia lately visited Prince Eugene at the Castle of Saint Leu, at Montmorency, where he dined with him, his mother and sister. This is the first notice of Josephine and the ci-devant Queen of Holland, that we have read in ths Paris Papers.—The Emperor of Austria is now styled Emperor of Germany. This is as it ougt to be—the Emperor Francis is, by all means, entitled to resume hia former rank and influence in Germany, the Empire of which will be restored under the powerfull suspicesof that Monarch.—There is no further mention of Bona; a/tu. The French Government is assembling a gnat military force at Lisle, and apparently they do not wish to let travel ers pass through Flanders. Three English Gentlemen returning from Paris to England, by Brussels, last week* though provided with passports, countersigned hy Lord Castlereagh, were stopped by Central St. Cyr, and no* suffered to proceed. They were obliged to return ami take their journey by the direct route to Calais. By some of the French papers it is again assorted that Peace is signed, and that the publication of the Treaty only waifs the ratification of the Prince Regent of England. By it, we are told, Guadaloupe, Martinique, St. Domingo* and the Isle of France are to be restored to France, who is also to be allowed two factories on the coasts of Malabar and Coromandel; she is to have a part of Belgium ; no monument of the arts is to be taken away, &c.—From the nature of the terms, we may conclude that this is but another premeture report, and that these rumours express only the wishes of the writers. Such terms are etp.ally inconsistent with policy and with justice. Lord Walpole arrived at Hanover, he is to go to Pa» tersburgh in quality as Ambassador from England. A corps of 1400 lancers is to be raised at Hanover.
