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.

regarded in the country as the palladium of Norway. Thij

ORDER OF THE DAY.
“The Prince Royal reminds the army, (hat in combat,
ting the factions and foreigners who only seek the misery
of Norway, the Swedes are not making war upon th*
Norwegians. To them the army owtsguod will and pro.
tection ; their property is put under the safe guard of it*
loyalty and good discipliot*. The Generals of Division
are personally responsible for any infraction of this order;
an infraction which will be equally contrary to the honor
of the Swedish name, and to the principles which at all
times distinguished our soldiers.
Every requisition of cattle and provisions made in
me districts, the inhabitants of which shall submit to their
duty, shall be paid in ready money; which will not bethe
ca*e in those districts which, by funishing ny,‘ans to the
agitators, render themselves liable to the crime of resilG
ancc against their lawful Sovereign.”

And snrinking Freedom tamely yields tie helal
Thy sons have shed their noblest blood in vain,
To rescue thee from Foreign Slavery’s yoke |
Grim Superstition locks thy limbs again
In bondage baser than their valour broke!
Ahl what avails it that thy brave Alli-•
Maintain'd they cause in many a disparate fray,
And gain'd for the immortal victories—
If thus their fruits are blindly thrown away!
Are these the kind returns thy kid napp'd King
Markes for thy toils, thy sufleiiiig in his cause)
To re-establish that most odious thing—
The Inquisition, and its barbarous lawst
To seize—impression—banish from the land,

Still faitful to their “dear-lov’d Ferihnano,’*
For his retain preferr’d the servent pray'ri
