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 DUKE D'LSGIUEN.
A short time after the restoration of the French Rov il
Family, Caulaincourt, who till that period had quiteiy sat
down under the honors and the reputed guilt of the Duka
d’Enghien’s murder, attempted to vindicate himself in fho
public prints from a charge which was then beginning to
threaten inconvenient consequences. The defence was re.
plied to: and w# to day present our readers with soina
extracts from the only pamphlet on the subject which w«
believe has hitherto reached this country The work com.
mences by noticing in terms of strong contempt the folly
of Caulaincourt in supposing it possible to blind the ryei
of Europe to his manifest criminality ; it then gires tha
more material parts of the defence, which we have detailed
in former publication, and which consist in throwing tha
entire axecution as the arrest upon a General Ordener,
dead some years since, and concludes w ith some anccdo.a*
of the Duked’Enghien’s last hours.
The weight of the answer rests in the following letter,
published in the Leydn Gazette of April, 1804, and sub subsequently
sequently subsequently uncontradicted:—
“Letter from the Minister of Foreign Affairs to th*
Baron d’Edelshcim , Ministei of State at Carlsruhs.
“Pari*, March 11, 1804.
“Sir,—-I sent yon a note demanding fhc arrest of the Committee of

fttOT of Russia, statin" the report to hate originated in his
gOiug to Sfrasburg* at the same period, and upon a mis.
iion "totally distinct from that of the officers sent to Etten Ettenhoim
hoim Ettenhoim and Offenburg. The “anecdotes” are taken from a
work published in 1801, and suppressed on its first ap appearance,

“The Duke d’Enghien had lived three years at Etten.
feeim, at the period of his seizure; he lived on an estate
which he had purchased, and his residence had been sane sanetioned
tioned sanetioned by the Elector of Baden, and even by Buonaparte,
to whom a communication on the subject had been made.
On the 15th of March, 1804, at two in the morning,
Without any previous requisition, a detachment of troops
Irnt by Bonaparte, and conducted by M. do Caulaincourf,
(a Gentleman loaded from his birth with the fanours of the
koiise of Conde) passed the Rhine, surrounded the house
of the young Prince, seized him in his bod, and carried him
to the citadel ofStrasburg. On the 18th he was dispatch,
ed for Paris. The journey was continued night and day,
without stopping for theslightest refreshment. The escort
arrived at the harrier St. Martin, on theSOth, at half.iiast
four in the evening; it was met there by a courier, with
orders to pass along by the city walls, ami carry the
prisoner ta Vincennes. It arrived at five. The Prince,
worn out with hunger ami fatigue, took with difficulty a
•light repast, lie then threw himself ou a bed laid down
it the moment in an adjoinig chamber,, and instantly fell
Into a profound sleep. He was suddenly awakened about
eleven, and led into a chamber, facing the w ood. He there
found eight officers, Guitore, Bazancourt, IJavier, Bar Barrois,
rois, Barrois, Rahbe; d’Autancourt, judge advocate; Molin,
•cccretary; Hulin, president. The trial was hurried
through. The opinion of the Court was given at four
O’clock, and at half.past four the victim wa» murdered in
one of the ditches of the castle. All this singular expedi expedition
tion expedition had the double object of burying the act in the dark
ness o* the night, and of overpowering the spirit of the
Illustrious sufferer. In the latter point, at last, it failed.
Jlis deportment was throughout lofty and dignified. When
he w is qee-ti >ncl as to carrying arms against his country,
Jte armver-d, “l took up arms with my family for the in.
heritanccof my forefathers. When peace was established,
1 laid them down, and acknowledged that there were no
longer Kings in Kuroj e.” This high and princely heart
astonished the judges, and they possibly felt seme com.
mist-ration for the only quality of it which they could share
•—its courage. T! cy stopped the process, and dispatched
B message to Buena ark for his final resolution : but they
had to do with a man who never felt for human nobleness
er human suffering. The paper was returned immediately
%ith these three words at the bottom, “Condemned te
Death.'* This n, a' y appeared to have been impressed
on more than the imm diate judges. In a Privy Council
which sat on the sentence, Cambaceres ventured to sug suggest
gest suggest that ho might be pardoned. Buonaparte turned
found apon him with the fierce sneer that the history o:
the Revolution sa fully authorised in the leading villain to
his accomplices : “How long since, is it,” said he, “that
you have become so sparing of the blood of the Bour.
boos?” Cambaceres had voted for the death of Louis
XVI. The guilt of the tribunal, too, is nothing less than*
that of murder. As soldiers they might have thought it
obedience and duty. As Judges their duty was justice.
Ithadbcensaidth.it the Duke d’Enhghien was put to
d*ath by foreign troops: even this dishonor is not saved
to France,—he was shot by the Gcnd’urmcric dTilife

have been preserved are not many, but the few arestrick arestricking.

exclaiming, “What! do you want logo out of the world

In bed at this hour.” The Prince, indignant, dit not ut.
ter a word, threw himself on his knee, prayed internally,
and after a moment of recovery, started up, and said,
“come on.”
%
“An Officer of the Gendarmerie d’Elite was ordered in
the night to take charge of a detachment for Vincennes,
lie had beeu reared in the house of the Conde family, and
bad still some recollection of its benefits. The Princa re.
•ogaised him at once, and expressed his gladness at the
meeting. The officer bowed his head, and wept. The way

stair. The Prince Suddenly turned round to Ihe Officer
and asked, “Am I, then, to be pltitidgcd alive into a dun.
goon ?Aml to perish in the Oubliettes?” “No, my
Lord, no,” the Officer replied. “Be tranquil.” A little
farther on they came to the place of the murder. The
Prince saw the preparations, and cried out, “Thanks to
God, I shall die the death of a soldier!”
“Murat, the brother-in-law, and Savary, the aide.de.
camp of Buonaparte, were both present. On going to
death, the Duke requested to send a lock of his hair, a
letter, and a ring, to a person extremely dear to him.
A soldier undertook the commission: Savary observed it.
and seized the trifles, with the exclamation, “No one here
should perform the commission of a traitor.”
“At the moment when the muskets were pointed at his
breast, the Duke standing upright, and with an air of the
most perfect intrepidity said to the soldiers, “Now, mi
friends!” “You have no friends here” was uttered by a
ferocious voice. It was Murat’s. lie* was instantly shot
The spot of the murder was in the eastern division of the
Castle ditch, at the entrance of the little garden.
“ The soldiers threw themselves 1151011 him, tossed him
about, and took his two watches, of which Huiin com complained,
plained, complained, protending that they ought to have been given to
the poor. They then threw him, dressed as he wav, into
a trench dug for him at eight o’clock the evening before,
while he was at supper, (and thus before he teas fried ; )
the shovel and pick.axe had been borrowed from one of
the forest w atchman.
“The morning after the execution, Hulin, She president
of the military, was at the house of Cambaceres, to give an
account of what had just occured. After admitting that
the Prince had died with great courage, he said, “id'
answers were very undisguised ; but it was luckly for ns
that he admitted his name, without that we should l.av
been terribly embarrassed.” This was said in the presenci
of 35 pe sons, Ihe acknowledgment thus escaping from
that wretch Hulin is the more pecu'air and the more true,
as there was not a sng'e evidence, a single paper found
either in the Duke's house, nor wpli any of those person personwho
who personwho had been arr »\.-d on the other side of the Rhine the
week before the noctural incursion. The seizure of the
Baroness Raich, at Orenburg, had already apprised the
unfortunate emigrants of their danger, r-.r-.d majority had
‘led. The Duke, a noble-minded man, had disdained to
take any percaution which looked like fear: on the fatal
evening a spy of Caulamcourt’s had been discovered at
Ettcnheim, and brought before him ; he generously order ordered
ed ordered iiis liberation. He was the victim of the natural secu.
rify of a gallant mind, iiis memory was honored not in
England a’one. A cenotaph lias been erected to him in
Petersburg!!, recording his virtue*.”

Gentlemen, - -When -first 1 undertook the office of ad addressing

tion of Reform, I could have no id.a that a case would
•o «oon be laid before the public, . ! ..strafing trie inherent
vices of the present system , ami unforeig the imperious
necessity of a ra Heal change. This case, how ever, is one
•f such vast in rest, ol such vital irupo taiMYto the rights

â– o apology for deviating from too immediate discussion
xwhich 1 had in view, in order to fix your attention more
itrougly and more permanently upon it. For this pur purpoio,
poio, purpoio, I need only rcral to your notice the printed Report,
as published in all the daily Papers, of the Speech wiitcit
*** made on Monday last in the House of Peers by Lord
•tanhoye, and of the Petition w ith which it was accom accompanied
panied accompanied by hi* Lordship. In this Petition, aad in this
Ipeech, will he found detailed one of the most glaring and
»ost abominable sy stems of legal tyranny that was ever
•xpssed to tfie scorn and abhorrence of a free people !
The Petition states, tbit the Petitioner had been origi.
â– ally arrerted for the small surti of 14/. odd, for which ii*
iad given bail; but not being afterward! able to discharge
the debt, he has surrendeied his person to save his bail,
•nd had become a prisoner in the Fleet. In this miserable
Situation he bad remained upwards of 12 months, and du.
ring that period, after having suffered all the extremities of
JUager and, want, had at last beau iompslkd U to, l dm

bed from under him, in order to raise food enough to save
hitn from absolute starvation ! Amaiig othei instances of
hardship which he had observed during his confinement,
he states, that two of the prisoners ( debtors , be it re rememboryd,
memboryd, rememboryd, not Jelons) had been compelled to subsist for
three days upon six potatoes! He furtnh.r states, that
some of them, gradually falling victims to mw want of
font and clout king, had died rat bin th - trails of the pri.
San, under circuit)-dances of the most aggi ivat. il w retch retchedness!
edness! retchedness! And that others, from the same causes, having
during their confinement contracted incurable diseases,
had at last obtained their freedom, only to cue in the tcork.
house, instead of starving in the goal. 1
Let it be rom •mbereil, that these men hid broken no
divine sommandntent, nor infringed any van ul laic. They
were neither thieves woe murderers —they were neither
peculating Placemen, nor fraudulent Conti actors. They
w-ere simply debtors. They liad contracted nebis with the
honest intention of discharging them, bat which unforc unforcseen
seen unforcseen Circumstances had unavoidably prevented them from
doing. Will any man say, that the mere coiitaaction of a
debt is a crime? If so, who is inn,cent? In a commerci commercial
al commercial and trading cuuutiy, like our own, tue best political
writers have agreed that cndii is not only useful, hut aii aii-soluteiy
-soluteiy aii-soluteiy necessary. i tic loss of individual credit may a.
rise from teu thousand causes, over which industry lias
no confront, and against w hich prudence cannot always
guard. Duiing the late disastrous condition of o r t.o.
uu-stic trade and manufactures, thousands have been i\.
duced in a single month from veaith and enjoyment to
want and beggary ! Must we add insult to mis ly, and
treat such debtors as if they were so many criminal: ?
i.ven where some degree of imprudence may have been
display ed in the contraction of debts, must w e subject in indiscretion
discretion indiscretion to one us the heaviest penalties us guilt ?
Hut the oppression of the case becomes sti'l more g’a.

prisoned imprisoned for upwards of naif a y ear, yet not only without
crimes , but possibly even without ettase! Lord Stanhope,
m the course of his excellent speech on lois snfiject, men.
tioned the case of an mdivitlual who bad actually suffered
to this very manner ! Au unprincipled swindler, in order
to elude au action of debt brought against himself, had

stances, tlie lawyers would uoubtless console him, that he
might have iho inexpressible satisfaction of bringing an
action fox false im f ,t it > ament, and also au indictment for

mean tune, what legal power could prevent such a sconti.
dr. d from quitting England, and going to practise his arts
of deception upon tn« honest and unsuspecting inhabitants
of some one of his Majesty’s Colonies abroad ? The old
law of the laud required bail for prosecution of an action
of dibnt as w ell as for its defence—so solicitous ware our
anivstois that the liberty ij the subject should be guard, d
by cvi-ry possible security , and that the sacred rights of
ail Englishman not be liable to ue made the sport us fraud
or malice ! it is hardly necessary to add to the deserved
detestation which the continuance of such legal injustice
muxt cxcile, by a statement us the fact, ebrroburated by the
testimony of the Keeper of the Fleet Prison, that out of
£OOO cases of imprisoned debtors not more than 500 (or 1
in 10) had ever been able to discharge the debts for w hich
they were arrested. So here we find were upwards of
4000 individuals condemned to suffer all the want and
wretchedness of a jail—their families deserted—their bust,
ness suspended—and their health, if not their morals, most
probably injured—and for what purpose? For none but
that of gratifying the passions of their unmerciful creditors,
and filling the pockets of the destable harpies of the law !
Well, indeed, might Lord Stanhope call this the English
Slavii Tkaoiv ! Mr. VVilberforce, 1 obsai a long

foreign Powers to render the abolition of the Aft icon Slav*

exercises its abominable cruelties upon men, who boats of
their Magna Charta and their Bill us Rights, and who,
notwithstanding the devouring strides of corruption, still
live under the form of the most free Cons itution in this
world! Here, theu, is a system requiring not a mock op

The following curious particulars concerning Napoloor» #
are authentic:
When the late Emperor of the French approach'll *hg
Island of Elba, the inhabitants of the Is and concern i<
that an enemy approached, prepared immediately to sur«
render, and for that puri ose, sent off an offer to Captain
(Ther, upon which Bonaparte jacolarly replid, he wished
Captain Usher joy of his conquest.
On one occasion. Captain Usher pressed him to kno*
whether l»s ever intend d to iuvada England, to which h«
replied, that he certain did, Put with no other hopes than
causing great confusion, as he k i>*w the high spirit of
?â–  ngland was not to be subdued, t/iotigh even tin-ir ca, i a!
were taken. In respect to Ireland, however, he hud every
‘i-*pe of not ouiy conquering it, but of separating it Irons
Eng a-id.
Lon t, arte’s manner i« d*saribcd as b -inu sti’l that of tho
most dignified, and perfectly that of the Emperor. ii,(
mode of .-pet eh is described as being peculiarly rapid, a «
hurries off'from every subject, terminating every confer,
sa ion with the quick word Allans /”
Bonaparte havi-tg a"ked Captain Usher, if he liked th®
wine of F'ha, and the latter having answer®l in the affir.
inative, : next day two thousand bottles of Wine w. rg
"cut as v present from the late Emperor ot France la
Captai i C her.
When he fame on board the Undiunt.'d, th# crevr im*
mediately surrounded him, but at which heexpr. s el no
k.rul ofalarm. Oht* of the crew rath r amusid him, when
calling out in a provincial Irish dialert, in reply to his ad«
dress to the rrew, “Long live to your honor, and may ever/
happines attend your honor.”
Bonaparte is descrilicd as having a constitution of iron.
H i" up every morning at three o’clock, and most inde*
fafigih’e. lie has already made lerrral alterations in th#
military d.-partnicnt of the* Lland, and lift the organisation

inclined to favour him with his assistance in that res|-«ct*
We come now to a more important parr of the it for*
mation conveyed in this letter, which informattun is quit
new, and as we conceive, truly interesting. We allude tis
Capt. Usher’s having gone to Leghorn, thence to com /
the Empress Maria Louisa to her husband, in order that
both may reap the imrauuities and privileges of E ha!—*
rs the enjoyment of which vveare persuaded no European
subjects will envy them. Bonaparte seemed iutimatel/
acquainted with all the minutae relative to a mad of war t
and the chart of the Channel. lie directed some of th#
rocks of Elba to be blown up, in order to present Capt*
Usher with the most curious specimens of each*
Bonaparte appeared delighted with the excellent system
of well organised dicipline observaii e on board the Un«
daunted, find said, “This is vvliat I hare often wished, but
in vain, to have accomplished by my people.’*
A project of a plan prepared by Bonaparte at Mos*
cow, and which his reverses only pretented him from sub*
milting to the Emperor of Russia, has obtained atrcula*
(ion in France. The following is th* substance:—Th#
Emperor Alexander to be designated Emperor of th«
North; Bonaparte of the East and West. Tho Fret clt
to have possession of three ports in the Black Sea, of
which Oczukow to be one, with a naval establisment in
the Crimea, and free passage through the Black Sea for a
French fleet iuto the Mediterranean, to scour its shores
of the English. The French to iuinish to furnish an auxi auxiliary
liary auxiliary army, to act in conjunction with the Russians, ul
expeliing the Turks out of Europe; also for the purpose
of dictating terms to the Persians, and compelling the
King to allow a free passage fur a French army to Hiiu

A short time after the restoration of the French Rov il Family, Caulaincourt, who till that period had quiteiy sat down under the honors and the reputed guilt of the Duka d’Enghien’s murder, attempted to vindicate himself in fho public prints from a charge which was then beginning to threaten inconvenient consequences. The defence was re. plied to: and w# to day present our readers with soina extracts from the only pamphlet on the subject which w« believe has hitherto reached this country The work com. mences by noticing in terms of strong contempt the folly of Caulaincourt in supposing it possible to blind the ryei of Europe to his manifest criminality ; it then gires tha more material parts of the defence, which we have detailed in former publication, and which consist in throwing tha entire axecution as the arrest upon a General Ordener, dead some years since, and concludes w ith some anccdo.a* of the Duked’Enghien’s last hours. The weight of the answer rests in the following letter, published in the Leydn Gazette of April, 1804, and subsequently uncontradicted:— “Letter from the Minister of Foreign Affairs to th* Baron d’Edelshcim , Ministei of State at Carlsruhs. “Pari*, March 11, 1804. “Sir,—-I sent yon a note demanding fhc arrest of the Committee of French emigrants sitting at Orenburg, at tbe time when tbe First Consul, by the seizure of the successive brigands sent into Frame by the Knglish government,as well as by tbe processes followed up here, had obtained intelligence of the full share which tne English agenta at Ofl'enbnrg had in the terrible plots against his person and 4 e safety of France. He has a!=o learned that the D ike d Fngbien and General Dumouriez were at I ttenlietra; and as it is impos they could be in that town without the permisdon of irs Fleeter | Highness, the First Consul cannot observe without the deepest Concern, that a Prince w hom he has been anxious to make the friendship of France of the highest service can give an a.ylum to his inveterate enemies, and suffer them at their ease to form tne most monstrous conspiracies. Under these extraordinary circumstances the First Con. sul has found it hi, duty to ordertwosmall detarhinents to march upon Offeuburgand Lttenheim, to seize the instigators of a crime, wnieh by its nature, puts the guilty out of the Law of Nations. It it Utneral ( aulaincuuri tr/ai, tciln this view , is chaged wit Ihorders of /he First Cotitvl. Vow will not douht, that in executing them he will respect all tbe relations which his Electoral Highness can desue. He will have the honor to hand to your Excellency the letter which 1 arndt. sired to write to him. “Receive the assurance, fee. “C M.

fttOT of Russia, statin" the report to hate originated in his gOiug to Sfrasburg* at the same period, and upon a mis. iion "totally distinct from that of the officers sent to Ettenhoim and Offenburg. The “anecdotes” are taken from a work published in 1801, and suppressed on its first appearance, with severe punishments to the parties. “The Duke d’Enghien had lived three years at Etten. feeim, at the period of his seizure; he lived on an estate which he had purchased, and his residence had been sanetioned by the Elector of Baden, and even by Buonaparte, to whom a communication on the subject had been made. On the 15th of March, 1804, at two in the morning, Without any previous requisition, a detachment of troops Irnt by Bonaparte, and conducted by M. do Caulaincourf, (a Gentleman loaded from his birth with the fanours of the koiise of Conde) passed the Rhine, surrounded the house of the young Prince, seized him in his bod, and carried him to the citadel ofStrasburg. On the 18th he was dispatch, ed for Paris. The journey was continued night and day, without stopping for theslightest refreshment. The escort arrived at the harrier St. Martin, on theSOth, at half.iiast four in the evening; it was met there by a courier, with orders to pass along by the city walls, ami carry the prisoner ta Vincennes. It arrived at five. The Prince, worn out with hunger ami fatigue, took with difficulty a •light repast, lie then threw himself ou a bed laid down it the moment in an adjoinig chamber,, and instantly fell Into a profound sleep. He was suddenly awakened about eleven, and led into a chamber, facing the w ood. He there found eight officers, Guitore, Bazancourt, IJavier, Barrois, Rahbe; d’Autancourt, judge advocate; Molin, •cccretary; Hulin, president. The trial was hurried through. The opinion of the Court was given at four O’clock, and at half.past four the victim wa» murdered in one of the ditches of the castle. All this singular expedition had the double object of burying the act in the dark ness o* the night, and of overpowering the spirit of the Illustrious sufferer. In the latter point, at last, it failed. Jlis deportment was throughout lofty and dignified. When he w is qee-ti >ncl as to carrying arms against his country, Jte armver-d, “l took up arms with my family for the in. heritanccof my forefathers. When peace was established, 1 laid them down, and acknowledged that there were no longer Kings in Kuroj e.” This high and princely heart astonished the judges, and they possibly felt seme com. mist-ration for the only quality of it which they could share •—its courage. T! cy stopped the process, and dispatched B message to Buena ark for his final resolution : but they had to do with a man who never felt for human nobleness er human suffering. The paper was returned immediately %ith these three words at the bottom, “Condemned te Death.'* This n, a' y appeared to have been impressed on more than the imm diate judges. In a Privy Council which sat on the sentence, Cambaceres ventured to suggest that ho might be pardoned. Buonaparte turned found apon him with the fierce sneer that the history o: the Revolution sa fully authorised in the leading villain to his accomplices : “How long since, is it,” said he, “that you have become so sparing of the blood of the Bour. boos?” Cambaceres had voted for the death of Louis XVI. The guilt of the tribunal, too, is nothing less than* that of murder. As soldiers they might have thought it obedience and duty. As Judges their duty was justice. Ithadbcensaidth.it the Duke d’Enhghien was put to d*ath by foreign troops: even this dishonor is not saved to France,—he was shot by the Gcnd’urmcric dTilife The peculate circumstances of this dark transaction which have been preserved are not many, but the few arestricking. When the sentence of the Court was read to him, the Prince requested the assistance of a Minister of religion. The whole assemhly burst into an insulting laugh, exclaiming, “What! do you want logo out of the world like a Capucin ? You want a Priest: poll! they are al In bed at this hour.” The Prince, indignant, dit not ut. ter a word, threw himself on his knee, prayed internally, and after a moment of recovery, started up, and said, “come on.” % “An Officer of the Gendarmerie d’Elite was ordered in the night to take charge of a detachment for Vincennes, lie had beeu reared in the house of the Conde family, and bad still some recollection of its benefits. The Princa re. •ogaised him at once, and expressed his gladness at the meeting. The officer bowed his head, and wept.

Heii happy to think tfiat this army I a* well as all the other troops serving in tl,.B !gic p fo| I vinres are placed in the hands of General the H reditary I Prince of Orange. It would be unnecessary and im pro, 1 per to say more of his Royal II ghncsg than that, iuberiu ] ing the military talents of lii« great ancestors, hr has heei 1 bred under the i lustrious Chief, who has in the wlinu, I tion of Europe carried the renown of the British arms still I j higher than it ever wuat any former period In (hek course of that career of victory, his ftoj d Highness hail end. an d himself to the w hole British army.

The Commode* I of thh orcc* has no d ribt of the Allied troops tinder hit I command in the Belgic Provinces emulating the Britishii -iKeiplioe and g -ml conduct. He regrets that circnn. stances have rendered it impossible for him to sec thou corps He has heard with much pleasure the orderly be, h iviour of the Dutch garrison at Namur, tinder Majef Gen.-ral Sfafman. lie trusts that the Hanoverian corpl -tow entering Brabant will follow the example of that ttinguidicd cavalry, which, with their country men, ths n fan try of the Legion, haveexalteri the name of the King's German Legion to the greatest j itch of glory. He can. not doubt of the Bolgic levies; these troops when foster, ed by the car* of a paternal government, will form, with t.ioir biethern in arms belonging to the i. nited Provinen in the Aetherlaudj, an invicible barrier for the defence of their own country, so fortunately rescued from the iron rod of oppression by the wonderful achievements of thl Allies. I hey will rival its discipline and military prawsi those cliostn bands diaivn from the Low Countries which formed a piilar of strenght to the Ausfrian empire, and which never went into the field but to be admired. Th* C ommander of the forces cannot conclude this farewell address without returning his sincere thanks to all officer! and soldiers of the army, and assnring them that he will ever feel deeply intermud in their welfare and honor.

All of these*officcrs, at the head of their respective departments, with the officer! attached to them, have by their diligence and rendered the most cordial assistance, which the t’omuian* der of the Forces ocknowledges with greateful satisfaction, lie is not less indebted to Captain Hill, of the Royal Navy, for the cordial co-operation and support which h# has on all occasions experienced from him. General the Hereditary Prince of Orange will please t# assume the command this day. £. BARNES, M. and Adjt..Generals stair. The Prince Suddenly turned round to Ihe Officer and asked, “Am I, then, to be pltitidgcd alive into a dun. goon ?Aml to perish in the Oubliettes?” “No, my Lord, no,” the Officer replied. “Be tranquil.” A little farther on they came to the place of the murder. The Prince saw the preparations, and cried out, “Thanks to God, I shall die the death of a soldier!” “Murat, the brother-in-law, and Savary, the aide.de. camp of Buonaparte, were both present. On going to death, the Duke requested to send a lock of his hair, a letter, and a ring, to a person extremely dear to him. A soldier undertook the commission: Savary observed it. and seized the trifles, with the exclamation, “No one here should perform the commission of a traitor.” “At the moment when the muskets were pointed at his breast, the Duke standing upright, and with an air of the most perfect intrepidity said to the soldiers, “Now, mi friends!” “You have no friends here” was uttered by a ferocious voice. It was Murat’s. lie* was instantly shot The spot of the murder was in the eastern division of the Castle ditch, at the entrance of the little garden. “ The soldiers threw themselves 1151011 him, tossed him about, and took his two watches, of which Huiin complained, protending that they ought to have been given to the poor. They then threw him, dressed as he wav, into a trench dug for him at eight o’clock the evening before, while he was at supper, (and thus before he teas fried ; ) the shovel and pick.axe had been borrowed from one of the forest w atchman. “The morning after the execution, Hulin, She president of the military, was at the house of Cambaceres, to give an account of what had just occured. After admitting that the Prince had died with great courage, he said, “id' answers were very undisguised ; but it was luckly for ns that he admitted his name, without that we should l.av been terribly embarrassed.” This was said in the presenci of 35 pe sons, Ihe acknowledgment thus escaping from that wretch Hulin is the more pecu'air and the more true, as there was not a sng'e evidence, a single paper found either in the Duke's house, nor wpli any of those personwho had been arr »\.-d on the other side of the Rhine the week before the noctural incursion. The seizure of the Baroness Raich, at Orenburg, had already apprised the unfortunate emigrants of their danger, r-.r-.d majority had ‘led. The Duke, a noble-minded man, had disdained to take any percaution which looked like fear: on the fatal evening a spy of Caulamcourt’s had been discovered at Ettcnheim, and brought before him ; he generously ordered iiis liberation. He was the victim of the natural secu. rify of a gallant mind, iiis memory was honored not in England a’one. A cenotaph lias been erected to him in Petersburg!!, recording his virtue*.”

Gentlemen, -When -first 1 undertook the office of addressing to yon a seri-s of Letter* on tin important quo*, tion of Reform, I could have no id.a that a case would •o «oon be laid before the public, . ! ..strafing trie inherent vices of the present system , ami unforeig the imperious necessity of a ra Heal change. This case, how ever, is one •f such vast in rest, ol such vital irupo taiMYto the rights •nil liberties of our fellow.country men, that l shall make ¦o apology for deviating from too immediate discussion xwhich 1 had in view, in order to fix your attention more itrougly and more permanently upon it. For this purpoio, I need only rcral to your notice the printed Report, as published in all the daily Papers, of the Speech wiitcit *** made on Monday last in the House of Peers by Lord •tanhoye, and of the Petition w ith which it was accompanied by hi* Lordship. In this Petition, aad in this Ipeech, will he found detailed one of the most glaring and »ost abominable sy stems of legal tyranny that was ever •xpssed to tfie scorn and abhorrence of a free people ! The Petition states, tbit the Petitioner had been origi. ¦ally arrerted for the small surti of 14/. odd, for which ii* iad given bail; but not being afterward! able to discharge the debt, he has surrendeied his person to save his bail, •nd had become a prisoner in the Fleet. In this miserable Situation he bad remained upwards of 12 months, and du. ring that period, after having suffered all the extremities of JUager and, want, had at last beau iompslkd U to, l dm H’LSTM I.V STAR. bed from under him, in order to raise food enough to save hitn from absolute starvation ! Amaiig othei instances of hardship which he had observed during his confinement, he states, that two of the prisoners ( debtors , be it rememboryd, not Jelons) had been compelled to subsist for three days upon six potatoes! He furtnh.r states, that some of them, gradually falling victims to mw want of font and clout king, had died rat bin th trails of the pri. San, under circuit)-dances of the most aggi ivat. il w retchedness! And that others, from the same causes, having during their confinement contracted incurable diseases, had at last obtained their freedom, only to cue in the tcork. house, instead of starving in the goal. 1 Let it be rom •mbereil, that these men hid broken no divine sommandntent, nor infringed any van ul laic. They were neither thieves woe murderers —they were neither peculating Placemen, nor fraudulent Conti actors. They w-ere simply debtors. They liad contracted nebis with the honest intention of discharging them, bat which unforcseen Circumstances had unavoidably prevented them from doing. Will any man say, that the mere coiitaaction of a debt is a crime? If so, who is inn,cent? In a commercial and trading cuuutiy, like our own, tue best political writers have agreed that cndii is not only useful, hut aii-soluteiy necessary. i tic loss of individual credit may a. rise from teu thousand causes, over which industry lias no confront, and against w hich prudence cannot always guard. Duiing the late disastrous condition of o r t.o. uu-stic trade and manufactures, thousands have been i\. duced in a single month from veaith and enjoyment to want and beggary ! Must we add insult to mis ly, and treat such debtors as if they were so many criminal: ? i.ven where some degree of imprudence may have been display ed in the contraction of debts, must w e subject indiscretion to one us the heaviest penalties us guilt ? Hut the oppression of the case becomes sti'l more g’a. ri 'g, when we fit d, not only that a man m ,y be subject, d to the pains oi imprisonment fora debt l "gully proven against li.in, but a'sotna*, (suppose fie Citiuot immediate. *y procure sufficient hail) he is liable to be thrown into i'lisno at a moment's notice, upon the single, unsupport, etl oath of an indivtd ia ! And tout, tiy'ihe scandalous -.u bterfuges ad siiamefui tuiays of legal c-tea aery, such a poison may be kept i.i conuneuicni lor n.-ar v a whole year, before he can contpei bis » r »seca(or/o prove his i/c. loi a Con: tot J .is.sec ! 1.-t us but tor a •liaui-.-.it, wli.it a va't tie.d *a h r.o eni fur tue j.rxitire o. t justice and o, . reseioo. i-ito w ii.it an Hbominabieiu. sttutii-fi! ot hared ur twenge i:.i.;ht siicti a power b convicted! .Va.l wn.it secun'y h. ve we at fins mom-tit against such a j u>. > bring cunnrt ! to political purpv. scs, excepting in i*k: f're uotn of ,c Pr ss?

How many volumes nave been pubished in praise oi Magna Chart a! How many pages have been ailed with etilogiums on the Hilt vj hignu! Yet here we see, that by the Lara of the Lund, i' it now stands, an Englishman is liable to he imprisoned for upwards of naif a y ear, yet not only without crimes , but possibly even without ettase! Lord Stanhope, m the course of his excellent speech on lois snfiject, men. tioned the case of an mdivitlual who bad actually suffered to this very manner ! Au unprincipled swindler, in order to elude au action of debt brought against himself, had sworn to a debt as due from tus prosecutor to a large a. mount than be could get his friends to hai!: tne poor ere. •ntor, on tue unsupported o it of his ow i debtor, was ini. med ately thrown into prison—tu there lie might have perished, lor any relief tile Jaw. could, for six mouths, as. lord him; aiUioutii at last, when liie case cam# before tincourt, it was proved t;.at the debt for which he had been arrested seas a dozvnright fiction! Under such cite urn. stances, tlie lawyers would uoubtless console him, that he might have iho inexpressible satisfaction of bringing an action fox false im f ,t it > ament, and also au indictment for perj try, agaiust ins profligate prosecutor. Hut in the mean tune, what legal power could prevent such a sconti. dr. d from quitting England, and going to practise his arts of deception upon tn« honest and unsuspecting inhabitants of some one of his Majesty’s Colonies abroad ? The old law of the laud required bail for prosecution of an action of dibnt as w ell as for its defence—so solicitous ware our anivstois that the liberty ij the subject should be guard, d by cvi-ry possible security , and that the sacred rights of ail Englishman not be liable to ue made the sport us fraud or malice ! it is hardly necessary to add to the deserved detestation which the continuance of such legal injustice muxt cxcile, by a statement us the fact, ebrroburated by the testimony of the Keeper of the Fleet Prison, that out of £OOO cases of imprisoned debtors not more than 500 (or 1 in 10) had ever been able to discharge the debts for w hich they were arrested. So here we find were upwards of 4000 individuals condemned to suffer all the want and wretchedness of a jail—their families deserted—their bust, ness suspended—and their health, if not their morals, most probably injured—and for what purpose? For none but that of gratifying the passions of their unmerciful creditors, and filling the pockets of the destable harpies of the law ! Well, indeed, might Lord Stanhope call this the English Slavii Tkaoiv ! Mr. VVilberforce, 1 obsai a long •peeeh th® otfcpr day, recommending an application 4# foreign Powers to render the abolition of the Aft icon Slav* Trade complate But the Slave Trade of Africa, fright* ful as ft undoubtedly is, falls on beings who have never tba blessings of freedom: whereas our English Jail Trad t exercises its abominable cruelties upon men, who boats of their Magna Charta and their Bill us Rights, and who, notwithstanding the devouring strides of corruption, still live under the form of the most free Cons itution in this world! Here, theu, is a system requiring not a mock op a moderate , buv a radical Reform. Let us see, whether the Legislature, as at present coustituded, will remove tin* disgraceful evil. If not, the inference is obvious, ami tb« remedy easy. May 7, 1814. WESTMONASTERI6NSI& NJPOLEOX. The following curious particulars concerning Napoloor» # are authentic: When the late Emperor of the French approach'll *hg Island of Elba, the inhabitants of the Is and concern i< that an enemy approached, prepared immediately to sur« render, and for that puri ose, sent off an offer to Captain (Ther, upon which Bonaparte jacolarly replid, he wished Captain Usher joy of his conquest.
