- 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.

instar Sept. 19.—This being the day
assigned by the President for the Meeting of Congress,
the Members assembled ht the apartment pr ipared for
their accomod ilion at the usual hour, but there not be-
Quorum, both 11 mjs s a ijdhrned.
Sept. 20.—A Quorum being present, the President
transmitted by th â– S errtary the following Message
EeUftw Citi :ens of the Stale, Senate, and
House of Representatives. *
Notwithstanding the early day winch had been
fixed for your Session of the present year, I was in induced
duced induced to call yon together si ill sooner, as well tbit
any inadequacy in the eating provisions for the
want of the treasury might be supplied, as that no
delay might happen in providing for the result of the
negociation on font with Great Britain, whether it
should require arrangements adopted to a return of
peace, or further and "more effective provisions for
prosecuting the war.
The result is not yet known : if on one hand the re repeal
peal repeal of the Orders in Council, and the general pacifi pacification
cation pacification of Europe, which withdrew the occcasioti on
which impressments from American vessels were
practised, suggest expectations that peace and amity
may be established, we are compelled on the other
h ind, by the refusal of the British GoverfSnsfot to
accept the offered mediation ofthc Emperor of Russia
by the delays in giving effect to its own proposal of
a direct negociation, Hid, above all by the principles
and inantier in which the war is indulged more vio violent
lent violent than ever against the reighfs and prosperity of
this country. This increased violence is best explain explained
ed explained by two important circumstances: that the o-reat
contest in Europe foran equilibrium guaranteeing all
its States against the ambition of any has been closed
without any check on the overbearing power Great
Britain on the ocean, and that it has left in her hands
disposable armoury, with which, forgetting the diffi difficulties
culties difficulties of remote war against a free people, and yield yielding
ing yielding to (he intoxication of success w ith the example of
a great victem to it before her eyes, she cherishes
hopes of still further aggandizing a power already
formidable in its abuses to the tranquillity of the ci civilized
vilized civilized and commercial world. But whatever may
have inspired the enemy with these more violent pur purposes
poses purposes the public councils of a nation, more able to
maintain than it was to acquire its independence, and
with a devotion to it rendered more ardent by the ex experience
perience experience of its blessings, can never deliberate but on
the means most effectual for defeating the extrava extravagant
gant extravagant measure of unwarrantable passion, with which
alone the war now be pursued agafrist us. In the
events of the present campaign, with all its augmented
means and wanton use of them, he has little ground
for exultation, unless he can feel it in the success of
his recent enterprize against this Metropolis and the
neighbouringtownsof Alexandria, from both of which
his retreats were as precipitate as his attemps were
bold and fortunate. In his other incursions on our
Atlantic frontier, his progress, often checked and
chastised by the matrial spirit of the neighbouring
citizens, has had more effect in distressing individuals
and dishonoring his arms, than in promoting any ob object
ject object of legitimate warfare. And in the two instances
mentioned, however deep!} td be regretted on our part
in his transient success, which interrupted for a mo moment
ment moment only the ordinary public business at the seat of
government, no compensation can accrue for the loss
of character with the world, by this violation of pri prii
i prii vale property, and his destruction of public edifices,
protected as monuments ofthc arts by the laws of ci civilized
vilized civilized warfare. On yur side we can apodal to a se series
ries series which have new lustre to
the American arms. Besides the brilliant incidents
in the.minor operations ofthccamp-aign, the splendid
victories gained on the Canadian side of the Niagara
by the American forces under Major Gen. Brown and
Brigadiers Scott and Gaines, have gained for tinsel
heroes and their emulated coinpinions the most tin- 1
/ i
fading laurels, and having thriumphantl v proved (he j
progressive discipline of the American soldiery, have j
taught the enemy that the longer he protracts •;> hos- '
tile efforts, the more certain and decisive w ill be his ;
final discomfiture. On the Southern border victory ;
has continued also to follow' yAPAmerican Standard.
The bold and skilful operations of Major
son, conducting troops drawn from the Militia of the
States least distant, particul irly of Tenessec, having
subdued the principal tribes of hostile savages, ami
â– by establishing a peace with them, preceded by re re[
[ re[ cent and exemplary chastisement, we have guarded
‘ against the mischief of their co-operations with the
Brili- h enterprises which may be plum d against this
quarter of our country. —Important tribes of Indians
on onr North Western frontier have.also acceded to
stipulations which bind them to the interest of our U.
States, and to consider our enemy as theirs also.
In the recent attempts of the enemy on Baltimore,
defended by militia and volunteers, aided by a small
body of regulars and seamen, he was received with a
spirit which produced a rapid retreat to the ships,
whilst a concurrent attack by a large fleet was success successfully
fully successfully resisted by (he steady and well directed fire of
the fort and batteries opposed to it. In another re recent
cent recent attack by a powerful force on at Platts Plattsburg,
burg, Plattsburg, of w hich regulars made a pari only, the enemy,
after a prescrvance for many hours, was finally com compelled
pelled compelled to seek safety in a hasty retreat, our gallant
bands pressing upon him. On the lakes, so much
contested throughout the war, the great exertion for
(hecommand made on our part have been well repaid
on Lake Ontario. Our squadron is now and has been
for sometime in a condition to confine that of the en enemy
emy enemy to his own port, and to favor the operations of
our land forces on that frontier.—On lake Champlain,
where our superiority hud for some time been undis undisputed,
puted, undisputed, the British squadron lately came into action
with the American, commanded by Captain M’Don M’Donnough
nough M’Donnough ; it issued in die capture of the whole of the
enemy’s ships. The best praise of this Officer and
his intrepid comrades is in the likeness of his triumph
to the illustrious victory which immortalised another
Officer, and etablished at a critical moment our com command
mand command of another Lake. On the ocean, the pride of
our naval anus has been amply supoilud ; a second
frigate lias indeed fallen into the hands of th
but the loss is hidden in the blaze of lir‘ro' C

One object of the expedition was the reduction of
Mackinau, which failed, with the loss ofa few brave
men, among whom was an officer distinguished for bi
iiallant exploits, and the expedition ably conducted
by both land and naval commanders, was othenviM
valuable in its effects. The monies received into Ik
Treasury, during the nine months ending the 1$
June last, amounted (032 millions of dollars, of whitk
11 millions were the proceeds of the Public Rcveiiaf,
and the remainder derived from Loans. The dis disbursements
bursements disbursements for Public Expenditure during the same
period exceed 34 m illions of dollars, and left in the
Treasury on the 31st of July near five millions oi
dollars.
The demands during the remainder of the present
year already authorised by Congress, and thcexpen*
ccs incident to an extension of the operations of the
war will render necessary that large sums should b?
ptovided to meet them. From this view of the na«
tional affairs, Congress will be urged to take up with*
out delay, as well the subject of pecuniary supplies
as that of military force, and on a scale commensurate
with the extent and character which the war has
assumed.
It is not to be disguished that the situation of our
country calls for its greatest efforts ; our enemy is
powerful in men and in money on the land and on the
water ; availing himself of fortunate circumstances,
he is aiming, with an undivided force, a deadly
at our growing prosperity, perhaps at our national
existence. He has avowed his purpose of trampling
on the usages of civilised warfare, and given earnest
of it in the plunder aud wanton destruction of private
property;.

LONDON, Novembers.
AV hone ver we have commented upon those topics
which were likely to form the principal subject of
discussion arnongs the Allied Sovereigns, during their
residence at Vienna, we h ive placed no reliance on
the absurd and heterogenious reports which have
abounded for so many weeks in the Foreign Papers.
Indeed these rumours have formed only a mass of in inconsistency

futed refuted by the preparations of the Potentates for quit quitting
ting quitting the German capital. No doubt these persona-
ges brought with them the grand Geographical Out Outline

are to be distinctly defined ;and having deposited
these bases, as their sine qua non, they will now, as
it appears, leave their confidential adherents and ad advisers

Irorn this time forward be not. inaptly compared to a
Senatorial Committee, authorised to examine the ev evidence

mit, submit, or who choose to think himself aggrieved ; and
after proposing to each the indemnities which it has
previously been resolved to offer them, to make a re report
port report of the manner in which these propositions may
have been received. No doubt can be entertained,
that these proceedingswill occupy a considerable
time; for it would be extraordinary indeed, if the
conflicted interests of nearly the whole of Europe
could be reconciled by the mere dash of a pen. The
primary object of discussion, and that which is like likely
ly likely to lead to protracted representations, is evidently
the cession of territorial indemnitiesta certain secon secondary
dary secondary and minor Powers, who, after having been ag aggrandized
grandized aggrandized by Bonaparte, as a reward for their defect defection,
ion, defection, now find themselves in a worse situation than
that which they occupied before they were entang entangled

pens happens that the head of the German empire has also
pretensions to indemnity, which cannot be contested;
and it is the regulation of these, on principles which
shall not do injustice to the claimants of infeyor rank,
that will not fail to cause elaborate controversy.-—
France, as we lately observed, ihough having less
right than any other Power, to interpose her opinion
at the Congress, has nevertheless a just view of the
preponderating interests cflhe German Empire:
“Germany,†(said a writer in a late Paris Jour Journal)
nal) Journal) so long torn to pieces by war and ambition, di divided,
vided, divided, given away, and taken back at the pleasure
and caprice of a conqueror; deprived of alHthe re resources

versifies forbade to the people—Germany hasa stron stronger

European system, about to be developed within her
against all unjust projects and insensate attacks.â€

jointly with herself, effected the restoration ot her
independence. O the contrary, the first confirma confirmation
tion confirmation of the sincerity of their wishes may be expected
to appear in the resumption of his hereditary title of
Emperor of Germany, by Francis 11. who, as Prance
h useli justly acknowledges, “has twice sacrificed
his dearest affections to the happiness of the world,
and twice set an example of that seif devotion here.-
lofore without a model in the history of Kings.â€
The losses of this Potentate, have been so immertce
that they may stagger the credulity of posterity when
.’hey are enumerated. in proportion of the States of
Germany and Austria were invaded and detached
from tfie ancient Government, they tended to the in inordinate
ordinate inordinate aggrandizement ol France almie; and the
petty Sovereigns, nut indeed to their credit, fell with within
in within the ch.tin of despotism which Napoleon had for forged
ged forged for them. It is true that by the I'rcaty of Pa Paris,
ris, Paris, much ol the territory wrested from the German
Empeior is restored to the Emperor of Austria ; but
all is not yet effected, in the way of retrocession,
which he has a right to expect; indeed, the whole
face of Europe has been so completely changed bv
the wars of Bonaparte, that many intersts remain to
be consulted; and as it is France alone who has been
compelled to return to her ancient limits, so we must
repeat, France can, less than any Power, have a
right to interfere with the arrangements of the Con Congress.
gress. Congress.
Having said that the losses of the Emperor of Ger Germany,
many, Germany, and ot the subordinate Powers of the Continent
will scarcely be credited by posterity, we will take
a superficial glance at the position in which these
Powers stood at the period of, and subsequent to, the
peace of Amiens-
As long since as the year 1798, when the cession
of the left bank of the Rhine had been agreed upon
by the Congress of Rastadt, the losses sustained by
the different circles of the Empire were 1174 square
miles, and 3,681,000 inhabitants.
The losses having occurred before the dismember dismemberment
ment dismemberment of the German Empire, are not included in ei either
ther either of the sacrifices which the French politicians
now condole with the Emperor Francis for having
been compelled to submit to.
By refusing to sanction the usurpations of Bona Bonaparte,
parte, Bonaparte, regarding the Cisapline Republic, Austria
again went to war with France, was again beaten by
the Usurper, and by the unfortunate Treaty of Pres-!
burg was compelled to accept of the insignificant
Bishopric of Saltzburgh, for the surrender of all her
possessions in Suabia, the Tyrol, and Venetian Dal Dalmatia.
matia. Dalmatia.
After the memorable Confederation of the Rhine,'
another conflict arose, which ended in the Treaty ot
Schoenbrun, and cost Austria the Littorale, a part of
Gallicia, the Frontiers of the Inn, and the re-srtren re-srtrender
der re-srtrender of Saltzburg, with Carinthia, Croatia, and Car Carniola,
niola, Carniola, which thenceforward formed the Illyrian Pro Provinces,
vinces, Provinces, under the domination of France.
The minor Powers, previous to the Peace of Ami Amiens,
ens, Amiens, had been deprived of the greater part, and se several
veral several amongst them, of the whole of their territories.
I he Pope, by the Treaty of 1797, last Romagna,
Bologna, Ferrara, and the Comte d’Avignon, with without
out without receiving any indemnity.—lt is therefore not
surprising that he should attempt to recoverthem,
or to put in claims for indemnity.
The King of Sardinia was compelled, on the 9th
December, 1798, to abdicate his States in Italy, con consisting
sisting consisting of the Ducy of Savoy, the Principally of Pied Piedmont,
mont, Piedmont, the Country of Nice, the Duchy of Monserrat,
and part of the Duchy of Milan, without receiving
any imdemnity.
The Grand Duke of Tuscany, by the Treaty of
Lunevillein 1801, lost his States in Italy, and re received
ceived received only a trivial indemnity in the Empire, con consisting
sisting consisting of the Prevostship of‘Bcrchtoldsgaden, and
part of the Pishopricks of Passau and Eichstadt,
with the Electoral dignity, of which be was subse subsequently
quently subsequently deprived.
The Duke of Modena lost the Duchies of Modena
acd Mirandola, and his Principally of Massa Carrara,
in Italy ; receiving as a miserable, imdemnity, the
Brisgau and Ortenau, in Germany, which the Em Emperor
peror Emperor ceded to him by the Treaty of Luneville.
The Duke of Parma relinquished his Duchies of
Parma, Placentia, and Guastalla, to the French, who
gave him the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, w ith the
, title of the Kingdom of Etruria, under the protection
i of, and dependant upon France.
I The King of Naples lost all his Continental States,
i which were given to Murat, and the rightfid owner
j was obliged to retire, under British protection, to the
Island of Sicily.
The Batavian Republic, before it merged info a
kingdom dependant upon France, received no other
• compensation tor all its losses, than a trifling exten exteni
i exteni sion of territory on the said of Westphalia.
i Prussia, as a kingdom, was nearly annihilated,
• having been deprived of Wesphalia by the camp-
â– aign of 1806, while by the treaty of Tilsit, Bonapar-
I too fatally performed his thread of reducing her to
; insignificance in the scale of European Powers.
Spain, though by the superlative aid of British
blood and treasure she has recovered her national in indepencc,
depencc, indepencc, is still a loser by the aggressions of France.
She ceded to her the Spanish part of of St. Domingo,
and the whole of the immense territory of Louisiana,
in North America, which France sold to the United
â– States by the Treaty of Paris in 1803.
The King'ofSaxony, that thick and thin adherent
of the fallen Usurper, was the only minor Potentate
of Germany who persisted in his adherence to the
desperate cause, till destruction stared him in the
face, and it was too late to compromise. He wilt
suffer for his obdurate temerity; and must trust to
the magnimoiis liberality of the Allies for the sub subordinate
ordinate subordinate rank and territory which he may be per permitted
mitted permitted to retain.
From this cusory view of the losses of the diffe different
rent different states, it must be evident that the consultations
of the Congress will be of the highest importance to
all Europe. Austria, Prussia, and the inferior Po Powers

France, most justly claim extensive and solid indem indemnities.

themselves requires consummate judgment and sta statistical

ous various claimants. Murat being established as King of
Naples, and having a powerful army under his con controul,

Sept. 20.—A Quorum being present, the President transmitted by th ¦ S errtary the following Message EeUftw Citi :ens of the Stale, Senate, and House of Representatives. * Notwithstanding the early day winch had been fixed for your Session of the present year, I was induced to call yon together si ill sooner, as well tbit any inadequacy in the eating provisions for the want of the treasury might be supplied, as that no delay might happen in providing for the result of the negociation on font with Great Britain, whether it should require arrangements adopted to a return of peace, or further and "more effective provisions for prosecuting the war. The result is not yet known : if on one hand the repeal of the Orders in Council, and the general pacification of Europe, which withdrew the occcasioti on which impressments from American vessels were practised, suggest expectations that peace and amity may be established, we are compelled on the other h ind, by the refusal of the British GoverfSnsfot to accept the offered mediation ofthc Emperor of Russia by the delays in giving effect to its own proposal of a direct negociation, Hid, above all by the principles and inantier in which the war is indulged more violent than ever against the reighfs and prosperity of this country. This increased violence is best explained by two important circumstances: that the o-reat contest in Europe foran equilibrium guaranteeing all its States against the ambition of any has been closed without any check on the overbearing power Great Britain on the ocean, and that it has left in her hands disposable armoury, with which, forgetting the difficulties of remote war against a free people, and yielding to (he intoxication of success w ith the example of a great victem to it before her eyes, she cherishes hopes of still further aggandizing a power already formidable in its abuses to the tranquillity of the civilized and commercial world. But whatever may have inspired the enemy with these more violent purposes the public councils of a nation, more able to maintain than it was to acquire its independence, and with a devotion to it rendered more ardent by the experience of its blessings, can never deliberate but on the means most effectual for defeating the extravagant measure of unwarrantable passion, with which alone the war now be pursued agafrist us. In the events of the present campaign, with all its augmented means and wanton use of them, he has little ground for exultation, unless he can feel it in the success of his recent enterprize against this Metropolis and the neighbouringtownsof Alexandria, from both of which his retreats were as precipitate as his attemps were bold and fortunate. In his other incursions on our Atlantic frontier, his progress, often checked and chastised by the matrial spirit of the neighbouring citizens, has had more effect in distressing individuals and dishonoring his arms, than in promoting any object of legitimate warfare. And in the two instances mentioned, however deep!} td be regretted on our part in his transient success, which interrupted for a moment only the ordinary public business at the seat of government, no compensation can accrue for the loss of character with the world, by this violation of prii vale property, and his destruction of public edifices, protected as monuments ofthc arts by the laws of civilized warfare. On yur side we can apodal to a series which have new lustre to the American arms. Besides the brilliant incidents in the.minor operations ofthccamp-aign, the splendid victories gained on the Canadian side of the Niagara by the American forces under Major Gen. Brown and Brigadiers Scott and Gaines, have gained for tinsel heroes and their emulated coinpinions the most tin1 / i fading laurels, and having thriumphantl v proved (he j progressive discipline of the American soldiery, have j taught the enemy that the longer he protracts •;> hos' tile efforts, the more certain and decisive w ill be his ; final discomfiture. On the Southern border victory ; has continued also to follow' yAPAmerican Standard. The bold and skilful operations of Major son, conducting troops drawn from the Militia of the States least distant, particul irly of Tenessec, having subdued the principal tribes of hostile savages, ami ¦ by establishing a peace with them, preceded by re[ cent and exemplary chastisement, we have guarded ‘ against the mischief of their co-operations with the Brilih enterprises which may be plum d against this quarter of our country. —Important tribes of Indians on onr North Western frontier have.also acceded to stipulations which bind them to the interest of our U. States, and to consider our enemy as theirs also. In the recent attempts of the enemy on Baltimore, defended by militia and volunteers, aided by a small body of regulars and seamen, he was received with a spirit which produced a rapid retreat to the ships, whilst a concurrent attack by a large fleet was successfully resisted by (he steady and well directed fire of the fort and batteries opposed to it. In another recent attack by a powerful force on at Plattsburg, of w hich regulars made a pari only, the enemy, after a prescrvance for many hours, was finally compelled to seek safety in a hasty retreat, our gallant bands pressing upon him. On the lakes, so much contested throughout the war, the great exertion for (hecommand made on our part have been well repaid on Lake Ontario. Our squadron is now and has been for sometime in a condition to confine that of the enemy to his own port, and to favor the operations of our land forces on that frontier.—On lake Champlain, where our superiority hud for some time been undisputed, the British squadron lately came into action with the American, commanded by Captain M’Donnough ; it issued in die capture of the whole of the enemy’s ships. The best praise of this Officer and his intrepid comrades is in the likeness of his triumph to the illustrious victory which immortalised another Officer, and etablished at a critical moment our command of another Lake. On the ocean, the pride of our naval anus has been amply supoilud ; a second frigate lias indeed fallen into the hands of th but the loss is hidden in the blaze of lir‘ro' C wjiich she wasdefended. Captain Porter, wT manded her, and whose previous career’ had distinguished by daring enterprise and by sertir genius, maintained a sanguiary contest"aHi' ships, one of them superior to his own, and < ** vere disadvantages, till humanity tore down lours which valour had nailed to the mast Tv * fleer and his comrades have added mu6h to the # of the American flag, and have merited all sions of gratitude which their country is ever re d besQw on (he champions of its rightsand of its safeG Two smaller vessels of war have alo become nJ to the enemy, but by superiority of force, ficiently vindicates the reputation of their Com* d«rs ; wmist two others, one commanded by Cart, Warrington, the other by Captain Blakel, h-ueJ (tired British ships of the same class with a and good conduct,which entitled them and their (W manders to a just share in the praise of their couaj In spite of the naval forces of the enemy lated on our coasts,our private cruisers also ceased to annoy his commerce, and to bring (heirrid prizes into our ports; contributing thus, with otho prools, (odemon (rate the incompetency and the ilk .ga’ily of a blockade, the proclamation of which made the pretext for vexing ar. I discouraging th commerce of neutral powers with the United States, To 'licet the extended and diversified warfare adopt cd, by the enemy's great bodies of militia have ben taken into the service of the public defence; aii great ex ponces incurred. That the defence even 1 where may be both more convenient and more,econo. ; mical, Congress will s c the necessity of inuncdiati ! measures for filling the ranks of the regular army, am | of enlarging tie provisions for special corps, mounta j md dismounted, to he engaged for a longer period of i service than arc due from the militia, I earnstly rentw at the same time a recommendation of snch changti in the system of the militia, as by classing and diwi. pliningon the most prompt and active service tb port: >n most capable of ts, will give to that resoura for the public safety ;dl the requisite energy andet cieney. A part of the squadron on Lake Erie has been extended to Lake Huron, and has produced the advantage of displaying our command on that Lake als» One object of the expedition was the reduction of Mackinau, which failed, with the loss ofa few brave men, among whom was an officer distinguished for bi iiallant exploits, and the expedition ably conducted by both land and naval commanders, was othenviM valuable in its effects. The monies received into Ik Treasury, during the nine months ending the 1$ June last, amounted (032 millions of dollars, of whitk 11 millions were the proceeds of the Public Rcveiiaf, and the remainder derived from Loans. The disbursements for Public Expenditure during the same period exceed 34 m illions of dollars, and left in the Treasury on the 31st of July near five millions oi dollars. The demands during the remainder of the present year already authorised by Congress, and thcexpen* ccs incident to an extension of the operations of the war will render necessary that large sums should b? ptovided to meet them. From this view of the na« tional affairs, Congress will be urged to take up with* out delay, as well the subject of pecuniary supplies as that of military force, and on a scale commensurate with the extent and character which the war has assumed. It is not to be disguished that the situation of our country calls for its greatest efforts ; our enemy is powerful in men and in money on the land and on the water ; availing himself of fortunate circumstances, he is aiming, with an undivided force, a deadly at our growing prosperity, perhaps at our national existence. He has avowed his purpose of trampling on the usages of civilised warfare, and given earnest of it in the plunder aud wanton destruction of private property;.

JAMES MADISON. 77/E BERBICE GAZETTE. NEW AMSTERDAM, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, IS 15. By the arrival of our November Packet, this w.-vk, English Journals are received to the 16th of that month, but barren of news of importance. NB.—Last week, by mistake, wc have omitted in the advertisement of Mr. A. A. de la Court, —2d line state : “Julian Frederic Obermuller,” read : Mr. Johan Frederic Obermuller. PS. Now ready at this Office, a Sheet Almanack, for this Colony, for the year 1815. (Js' zVrzr Subscriptions to the GUIANA CHRONICLE, Printed by A. Sic venson, in Dein er ary, will be received at this Office, to which duly nt tention will be paid, and be delivered al the Post Office here. LONDON, Novembers. AV hone ver we have commented upon those topics which were likely to form the principal subject of discussion arnongs the Allied Sovereigns, during their residence at Vienna, we h ive placed no reliance on the absurd and heterogenious reports which have abounded for so many weeks in the Foreign Papers. Indeed these rumours have formed only a mass of inconsistency and contradiction, which is at length refuted by the preparations of the Potentates for quitting the German capital. No doubt these personages brought with them the grand Geographical Outline in which the possessions of the different Powers are to be distinctly defined ;and having deposited these bases, as their sine qua non, they will now, as it appears, leave their confidential adherents and advisers to fill up'the blanks. In fact the Congress may Irorn this time forward be not. inaptly compared to a Senatorial Committee, authorised to examine the evidence of those parties who have pretensions to submit, or who choose to think himself aggrieved ; and after proposing to each the indemnities which it has previously been resolved to offer them, to make a report of the manner in which these propositions may have been received. No doubt can be entertained, that these proceedingswill occupy a considerable time; for it would be extraordinary indeed, if the conflicted interests of nearly the whole of Europe could be reconciled by the mere dash of a pen. The primary object of discussion, and that which is likely to lead to protracted representations, is evidently the cession of territorial indemnitiesta certain secondary and minor Powers, who, after having been aggrandized by Bonaparte, as a reward for their defection, now find themselves in a worse situation than that which they occupied before they were entangled in the snares of disloyal ambition. But it happens that the head of the German empire has also pretensions to indemnity, which cannot be contested; and it is the regulation of these, on principles which shall not do injustice to the claimants of infeyor rank, that will not fail to cause elaborate controversy.-— France, as we lately observed, ihough having less right than any other Power, to interpose her opinion at the Congress, has nevertheless a just view of the preponderating interests cflhe German Empire: “Germany,” (said a writer in a late Paris Journal) so long torn to pieces by war and ambition, divided, given away, and taken back at the pleasure and caprice of a conqueror; deprived of alHthe resources of the social condition, and even of the L sing of instruction, whic the shutting up of the it versifies forbade to the people—Germany hasa stronger interest than any other country in cherishing, cultivating, and protecting the precious germs of the European system, about to be developed within her against all unjust projects and insensate attacks.” Certainly Germany, as she stood with her legitimate Chief, the Emperor, at her head, b lore Napoleon dismembered the Empire, and abolished its constitution, v. Inch had been venerate.l far nine centuries, has a stronger interest than any other cuu .itrv in resisting all “unjust projects and in senates attacks;” but from whom are, these tube again expected ? Not, indeed, from any of the Powers who have jointly with herself, effected the restoration ot her independence. O the contrary, the first confirmation of the sincerity of their wishes may be expected to appear in the resumption of his hereditary title of Emperor of Germany, by Francis 11. who, as Prance h useli justly acknowledges, “has twice sacrificed his dearest affections to the happiness of the world, and twice set an example of that seif devotion here.lofore without a model in the history of Kings.” The losses of this Potentate, have been so immertce that they may stagger the credulity of posterity when .’hey are enumerated. in proportion of the States of Germany and Austria were invaded and detached from tfie ancient Government, they tended to the inordinate aggrandizement ol France almie; and the petty Sovereigns, nut indeed to their credit, fell within the ch.tin of despotism which Napoleon had forged for them. It is true that by the I'rcaty of Paris, much ol the territory wrested from the German Empeior is restored to the Emperor of Austria ; but all is not yet effected, in the way of retrocession, which he has a right to expect; indeed, the whole face of Europe has been so completely changed bv the wars of Bonaparte, that many intersts remain to be consulted; and as it is France alone who has been compelled to return to her ancient limits, so we must repeat, France can, less than any Power, have a right to interfere with the arrangements of the Congress. Having said that the losses of the Emperor of Germany, and ot the subordinate Powers of the Continent will scarcely be credited by posterity, we will take a superficial glance at the position in which these Powers stood at the period of, and subsequent to, the peace of AmiensAs long since as the year 1798, when the cession of the left bank of the Rhine had been agreed upon by the Congress of Rastadt, the losses sustained by the different circles of the Empire were 1174 square miles, and 3,681,000 inhabitants. The losses having occurred before the dismemberment of the German Empire, are not included in either of the sacrifices which the French politicians now condole with the Emperor Francis for having been compelled to submit to. By refusing to sanction the usurpations of Bonaparte, regarding the Cisapline Republic, Austria again went to war with France, was again beaten by the Usurper, and by the unfortunate Treaty of Pres-! burg was compelled to accept of the insignificant Bishopric of Saltzburgh, for the surrender of all her possessions in Suabia, the Tyrol, and Venetian Dalmatia. After the memorable Confederation of the Rhine,' another conflict arose, which ended in the Treaty ot Schoenbrun, and cost Austria the Littorale, a part of Gallicia, the Frontiers of the Inn, and the re-srtrender of Saltzburg, with Carinthia, Croatia, and Carniola, which thenceforward formed the Illyrian Provinces, under the domination of France. The minor Powers, previous to the Peace of Amiens, had been deprived of the greater part, and several amongst them, of the whole of their territories. I he Pope, by the Treaty of 1797, last Romagna, Bologna, Ferrara, and the Comte d’Avignon, without receiving any indemnity.—lt is therefore not surprising that he should attempt to recoverthem, or to put in claims for indemnity. The King of Sardinia was compelled, on the 9th December, 1798, to abdicate his States in Italy, consisting of the Ducy of Savoy, the Principally of Piedmont, the Country of Nice, the Duchy of Monserrat, and part of the Duchy of Milan, without receiving any imdemnity. The Grand Duke of Tuscany, by the Treaty of Lunevillein 1801, lost his States in Italy, and received only a trivial indemnity in the Empire, consisting of the Prevostship of‘Bcrchtoldsgaden, and part of the Pishopricks of Passau and Eichstadt, with the Electoral dignity, of which be was subsequently deprived. The Duke of Modena lost the Duchies of Modena acd Mirandola, and his Principally of Massa Carrara, in Italy ; receiving as a miserable, imdemnity, the Brisgau and Ortenau, in Germany, which the Emperor ceded to him by the Treaty of Luneville. The Duke of Parma relinquished his Duchies of Parma, Placentia, and Guastalla, to the French, who gave him the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, w ith the , title of the Kingdom of Etruria, under the protection i of, and dependant upon France. I The King of Naples lost all his Continental States, i which were given to Murat, and the rightfid owner j was obliged to retire, under British protection, to the Island of Sicily. The Batavian Republic, before it merged info a kingdom dependant upon France, received no other • compensation tor all its losses, than a trifling exteni sion of territory on the said of Westphalia. i Prussia, as a kingdom, was nearly annihilated, • having been deprived of Wesphalia by the camp¦ aign of 1806, while by the treaty of Tilsit, BonaparI too fatally performed his thread of reducing her to ; insignificance in the scale of European Powers. Spain, though by the superlative aid of British blood and treasure she has recovered her national indepencc, is still a loser by the aggressions of France. She ceded to her the Spanish part of of St. Domingo, and the whole of the immense territory of Louisiana, in North America, which France sold to the United ¦ States by the Treaty of Paris in 1803. The King'ofSaxony, that thick and thin adherent of the fallen Usurper, was the only minor Potentate of Germany who persisted in his adherence to the desperate cause, till destruction stared him in the face, and it was too late to compromise. He wilt suffer for his obdurate temerity; and must trust to the magnimoiis liberality of the Allies for the subordinate rank and territory which he may be permitted to retain. From this cusory view of the losses of the different states, it must be evident that the consultations of the Congress will be of the highest importance to all Europe. Austria, Prussia, and the inferior Powers who have been wronged by the usurpation of France, most justly claim extensive and solid indemnities. To overcome the obstacles which presents themselves requires consummate judgment and statistical knowledge; but the great difficulty will bo the reconciling of the clashing interests of the various claimants. Murat being established as King of Naples, and having a powerful army under his controul, is in a condition to maintain what has been granted to him, rnd to make himself respected.— Hence those whose pietensions arc levelled at a portion of his States, must be indemnified at the expense of others: yet it is not in the nature of things that the loser will resigntheir pretensionsand hopes, without trying what can be effected by elaborate representations and argumentative appeal. Such attemps will not doubt extend the sittings of the Congress couu1 derably within the approaching year.
