- 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.

heic-I ork, Aug. 30.-— The Editors of the Gazette h*v*
received the io, uning Baltimore Federal Gazette Ex»
truordinuty, dated the 27th August.
••Gen. Winder arrived here this morr.ing.— We have
u aid a number of verbal relations of the late tranfaction*
at and near the city of Washington, but none directly
from any person w ho was in the city at the time tht? ene.
my took possession of it. Such account as we can give,
can therefore only be considered as an abridgement of
part of the re; oris of the day.
lhe whole lurce under Gen. Winder is estimated at
about S(XXJ, but wc do not state this as being from any
’otnce which we can say is correct. These troops were
judiciously disposed between Blanden burg (where tho
enemy must necessarily pass) and the Capitol, so as to
give the most effectual opposition and annoyance to tho
«a«my in thwir appiwach. The £al urn or* Arullerj w«c«
rn.Htioned si to btar upon the bridge over the Eastern
rail ch at Blandcnsburg; and the enemy, marching in
suffered severely from their galling tire, wmcn
was kept up with great spirit until the near approach ut
column made it necessary for the artillery t» rdrut,
which they did in good order, taking with them their can.
non except one piece—the carriage J winch being rcn.
Sercrf unserviceable, they spiked the gun and left it on tin

listing ol> bout 500, like the biave Artillerists, maintain maintainid
id maintainid their gVourd with great gallantry, until the enemy,
•rith very superior numbers, had out.llausted and nearly
lurrounded them ; nor did they then shew any disposiu >l.
toHreat, until commanded to do so by the officers. Not
io the Mil H«a *> n ‘ ler Gen. Stansbury ; a part of them gave
vay at the first fire, and the General’s exertions to roily
them proved unsuccessful. Os the conduct oi the tw u re.
fiments of regulars, we h-tve not heard a-.y particulars— particularsthey
they particularsthey were stationed between the Baltimore troops and the
corps under Commodore Harney, which was stationed
geare’t the city, on the ground near the Capitol.
The Troops under Commodore Barney, amounting to
about 600, were those which lately tnantita thu flotilla;
they had with them the gnus from their vessels mounted,
and fought with a degree oi bravery never excel cd. Their
rapid and well directed lire proved v«ry destructive to the
«nemy, but they were overpowered by a vast superiority oi
Bumbers. Their gallant Commodore received tw o wound*,
«ne of them severe but not dangerous, and was taken pn pn>oncr.
>oncr. pn>oncr. W« understand he received very polite attention
from Admiral Cockburn, w ho complimented him highly on
the gallant behaviour of himself and bin men.
The contest with the troops under Commodore Barney
was close to the city of Washington, and terminated the
opposition which the enemy met with in their approach to
the Capitol. Os the loss on either side during tne action
and retreat of our troops, we cannot Speak with accuracy.
Qn our side it was comparatively small; very few w.-re
tilled, the number of wounded was greater, but none of
them are considered dangerous. Gen. Stansbury was not
wounded as was reported. — About 5U were taken prisoners
and parolled. The loss of the enemy is reported to have
been very great whe i compared with ours; we do aot

FROM THE LATE LONDON PAPEES.
Westatid in our last the termination of the important
divciission on the Liberty of the Press in Fiance, w . ich
was carried on for several days in the Chamber ol IX'pu-
Hes. It is a most gratifying symptom of growing fiwdom
in any country, to behold an Assembly of National Re Representatives
presentatives Representatives delivering their sentiments with animaiion
and sincerity on great questio .s of political and moral ju jurisprudence.
risprudence. jurisprudence. Such a spectac e as tu.it recently cxnu.i -
ed m France is caiculaiad to exc.tc the adn .ration of t e
whole world. In a c<* intiy where, he»ctoforc, tiie hu human
man human mind languistied amid trie peslilcni al stillness of e*.
putisui, wr now hear men not only delivering their senti sentiments
ments sentiments without fear or rest taint, but perceive them doing
so w ith a consciousness that they are exercising an unuis unuispuled
puled unuispuled and sacred right. This i>, indeed, a noble begin.
nl:ig, and.uigurs wed lor jh© of Louis Will. 1 m
suhj.ct of discussioti to which we now allude wbandied
by the dill rent orators with great ability, eloquence, and
good sense. The project oi the law lor submitting small
i uliiica ioiis to a previous censorship was curri d by a
majority of ’37 against SU. A great deal of sound reason reasonig,
ig, reasonig, a .id mmy arguments founded in practical expediency,
«ere advanced by the supporters of the law; and we are
confident that the 137 Members who voted for it, did so
I'rotn a firm conviction that it w as absolutely necessary to towards
wards towards preserving the present revived Monarchy, and even
th? liberty of France. They did not dwell much upon
the d inger by w hich the Monarchy may now be menaced ;
for it would have been unwise to make a public avowal
of such apprehensions; but that was unquestionably the
chief motive for the decision they gave. And M. de Mon Montesquiov
tesquiov Montesquiov advanced an argument in favour of the law
which appears to us unanswerable. In order to shew why
the practice of England ought not to be follow ed in France,
he observed mesl truly, that the English Government
was the strongest of any in the world, aid that on that
very account the liberty of the press, without any previ previous
ous previous censorship, was necessary to balance and counteract
the power of that Government; but that the Government
of Franae being more of a paternal nature, required no
such chock, and that it was better by a previous restraint
to prevent men from committing offences, for which in
England the off nders suffered putiis incuts which could
not exist in France. The debates i;i the Chamber of De Deputies
puties Deputies have, however, been productive ©f two important
amendments, the one extending the authority of tiie cen censorship
sorship censorship to works under twenty insi.ad of thirty sheets,
and the other limiting the law to the close of the Session,
1816, instead of the briginally proposed rcvicwal at the
eud of three years.
The Slave Trade is so hideous in the eyes of an enligh.

The Dutch Papers state one important fact, if w« may mayreceive
receive mayreceive it as an indication of the approaching territorial
settlement of the Orange dominions Dinant, a city on the
right hank of the Meuse, has been occupied by the Prince
Sovereign’s troops, and thus saetns to confirm the report
that the frontier of his State would, on the eastern side,
be extended to the Rhine by the Congress at Vienna. Such
an arrangement would add a very important accession of
territory, power, and wealth to the Family on the'Throne
of Holland. Between the Meuse and Rhine, to the north
of Dmaut (which is 16 miles up the former river from
Namur), is included he valuable possessions of Juliers and
Gtiddres, besides a great part of Cleves and Cologne, and
possibly of Treves also. It is immensely strong in for fortresses,
tresses, fortresses, and overflowing with an industrious, intelligent,
and active population.

Winder arrived here this morr.ing.— We have u aid a number of verbal relations of the late tranfaction* at and near the city of Washington, but none directly from any person w ho was in the city at the time tht? ene. my took possession of it. Such account as we can give, can therefore only be considered as an abridgement of part of the re; oris of the day. lhe whole lurce under Gen. Winder is estimated at about S(XXJ, but wc do not state this as being from any ’otnce which we can say is correct. These troops were judiciously disposed between Blanden burg (where tho enemy must necessarily pass) and the Capitol, so as to give the most effectual opposition and annoyance to tho «a«my in thwir appiwach.

Sercrf unserviceable, they spiked the gun and left it on tin ,r Thesth regiment of Baltimore Volunteer Infantry, con. listing ol> bout 500, like the biave Artillerists, maintainid their gVourd with great gallantry, until the enemy, •rith very superior numbers, had out.llausted and nearly lurrounded them ; nor did they then shew any disposiu >l. toHreat, until commanded to do so by the officers. Not io the Mil H«a *> n ‘ ler Gen. Stansbury ; a part of them gave vay at the first fire, and the General’s exertions to roily them proved unsuccessful. Os the conduct oi the tw u re. fiments of regulars, we h-tve not heard a-.y particulars—they were stationed between the Baltimore troops and the corps under Commodore Harney, which was stationed geare’t the city, on the ground near the Capitol. The Troops under Commodore Barney, amounting to about 600, were those which lately tnantita thu flotilla; they had with them the gnus from their vessels mounted, and fought with a degree oi bravery never excel cd. Their rapid and well directed lire proved v«ry destructive to the «nemy, but they were overpowered by a vast superiority oi Bumbers. Their gallant Commodore received tw o wound*, «ne of them severe but not dangerous, and was taken pn>oncr. W« understand he received very polite attention from Admiral Cockburn, w ho complimented him highly on the gallant behaviour of himself and bin men. The contest with the troops under Commodore Barney was close to the city of Washington, and terminated the opposition which the enemy met with in their approach to the Capitol. Os the loss on either side during tne action and retreat of our troops, we cannot Speak with accuracy. Qn our side it was comparatively small; very few w.-re tilled, the number of wounded was greater, but none of them are considered dangerous. Gen. Stansbury was not wounded as was reported. — About 5U were taken prisoners and parolled. The loss of the enemy is reported to have been very great whe i compared with ours; we do aot Biention the number rcpuited, as the accounts are pi übaly Biaggerat.d. it is tollerahly well ascertained, that the whole force Under Gen.

Russian n , indeed, a noble begin. nl:ig, and.uigurs wed lor jh© of Louis Will. 1 m suhj.ct of discussioti to which we now allude wbandied by the dill rent orators with great ability, eloquence, and good sense. The project oi the law lor submitting small i uliiica ioiis to a previous censorship was curri d by a majority of ’37 against SU. A great deal of sound reasonig, a .id mmy arguments founded in practical expediency, «ere advanced by the supporters of the law; and we are confident that the 137 Members who voted for it, did so I'rotn a firm conviction that it w as absolutely necessary towards preserving the present revived Monarchy, and even th? liberty of France. They did not dwell much upon the d inger by w hich the Monarchy may now be menaced ; for it would have been unwise to make a public avowal of such apprehensions; but that was unquestionably the chief motive for the decision they gave. And M. de Montesquiov advanced an argument in favour of the law which appears to us unanswerable. In order to shew why the practice of England ought not to be follow ed in France, he observed mesl truly, that the English Government was the strongest of any in the world, aid that on that very account the liberty of the press, without any previous censorship, was necessary to balance and counteract the power of that Government; but that the Government of Franae being more of a paternal nature, required no such chock, and that it was better by a previous restraint to prevent men from committing offences, for which in England the off nders suffered putiis incuts which could not exist in France. The debates i;i the Chamber of Deputies have, however, been productive ©f two important amendments, the one extending the authority of tiie censorship to works under twenty insi.ad of thirty sheets, and the other limiting the law to the close of the Session, 1816, instead of the briginally proposed rcvicwal at the eud of three years. The Slave Trade is so hideous in the eyes of an enligh. tened public, that proof demonstratively convinces us, when we state that 850 Petitions were presented to Parliament, signed by nearly one million ©f persons—from Liverpool itself few less than 21,000. The Dutch Papers state one important fact, if w« mayreceive it as an indication of the approaching territorial settlement of the Orange dominions Dinant, a city on the right hank of the Meuse, has been occupied by the Prince Sovereign’s troops, and thus saetns to confirm the report that the frontier of his State would, on the eastern side, be extended to the Rhine by the Congress at Vienna. Such an arrangement would add a very important accession of territory, power, and wealth to the Family on the'Throne of Holland. Between the Meuse and Rhine, to the north of Dmaut (which is 16 miles up the former river from Namur), is included he valuable possessions of Juliers and Gtiddres, besides a great part of Cleves and Cologne, and possibly of Treves also. It is immensely strong in fortresses, and overflowing with an industrious, intelligent, and active population. Letters received from Smirna, give a melancholy picture of the calamities suffered there by the people, from the plague. One of these states, that the deaths 500 daily, and that they had ©uutiuuwd at that flßibcr for IS days preceding, The body of Prince Poniatowski, which had been atjvflJ mitted to a temporary grave at Leipsic, has been taken up and dispatched with military honours, attended by a num. bcr of Polish Uilicers, and an escort of soid.ers oi that na. tion, tor dual deposit with the ramains of his ancestors.
