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.

way that any private petition might be placed in the
Royal hand.
“ I he Address however, was not permitted to lie un unnoticed

this moment, copies of it are cirruhfid openly in
Paris, and privately through the Netherlands. We
understand that 20,000 copies have been sent for

Vienna.”
The Address is written wit com ide; ble eloquence,
and expresses sentiments which we vvll know to have
been long prevalent in the Netherlands as well as in
I-rance. Os all the conquests given up by the Treaty
of Paris, not one was so much regretted by the French
as Belgium. The Belgians, however, can scarcely

favor of their wishes, aflc. - their provinces have been
ceded by a solemn treaty, to which Louis XV ill has
acceded.
PHILOSOPHICAL EXPERIMENTS. -
By some recent experiments made by M. Bertrand,
it appears that charcoal possesses the power of coun counteracting
teracting counteracting the fatal effects of the mineral poisons on the
animal body. Keen unit.-rates several experiments to
prove this fact, the third of which was made on him himself.
self. himself. “At half past seven o’clock in the morning,”
he states, “I swallowed, filing, five grains of arsenic
powder iu half a glass strong mixture of charcoal.
At a quarter before eight o’clock, I perceived a pain painful
ful painful sensation of heat in the stomach, with great
drowlh. 1 then drank another glass ofthc mixture
of charcoal. Al half past nine the oppressive pain
ceased in the stomach, and was followed by an un uneasy
easy uneasy sensation in the intestines. Being very thirsty.
I drank several cups of an infusion of orange flowers,
and at a quarter past ten I Was completely well. Al
noon I dined as usual, without incovenionce, and
could perceive no far!her derangement in the dige digestive
stive digestive functions.” The same experiment was made
with corrosive sublimate of mercury,, with the same
result. As we have hitherto been unacquainted with
any article capable of rendering the mineral poisons
inert, the communication of AL Bertrand of the result
of his experiments is of considerable importance.
Vaccination has proved so beneficial in Sweden in
the prevention of small-pox, that it appears by the
report of Dr. F. Iledin, first physician to the King,
that this destructive pestilence is so completely ex extirpated,
tirpated, extirpated, that it can never become epidemic in that
country again.
M. Hildebrandt has lately made some interesting
and curious experiments on the preservation of meat

in different airs. Tn the susphureous acid gas the
flesh soon lost its natural red colour, and ssumed that
of boiled meat. It did not undergo any other appa apparent
rent apparent alternation, and the air of the vessel was neither
diminished nor increased in quantify. At Ihe end of
seventy-six days the flesh became harder and drier
than roasted meat, and was scarcely trained with any
smell of sulphureous acid. After exposing it four
days tothe atmosphere, it became more firm and
compact without putrifying, and did not change co colour,
lour, colour, merely losing the weak smell of the acid wiih wiihout
out wiihout acquiring any other. In the flouric acid gas the
results were in every respect similar: but in the am ammonicalgas
monicalgas ammonicalgas it exhibited alterations very diff rent, the
air being totally absorbed by it. The.colour became
of a florid red, and preserved a fresh appearance for
seventy-six days. ]t was much softer than in the
foregoing experiments, without smel , and Laving the
colour and consistence of fresh meat. When expos exposed
ed exposed to the open air it did not putr ; fy : it however lost
its red colour, became brown, dried up, and hid a
kind of varnished surface.
Heat, being the animating principle of all nature,
the source of its production in the animal body has hasbeen
been hasbeen long a subject of great ’ntcrest a id speculation.
By the experiments of Mr. Brodie, it appears that it
is produced by the brain, and not by respiration in the
lungs. Dr. Hale, who has repeated the experiments
observes, that he was surprised to meet results totally
different from those detailed by Mr. Brodie. Instead ,
of finding that an animal in which artificial respira respiration
tion respiration was kept up, cooled faster than one which did not
respire, and that the lungs much sooner th?. l ) the rest
of the body, he found that animals respiring retained
their heat longest, and that the lungs were the hottest
part of the animal. The accuracy of Dr. Hale’s ex experiments
periments experiments and conclusi on if confirmed by the repeated
experiments of M. !e Gallois This esteemed Author
observes, that Mr. Brodie assures us, that all decapi decapitated
tated decapitated animals which are kept alive cool is fast as if
they were dead. It is true that they part with their
heat rapidly, but he has always found that young cats
cool less than old ones after death. The prolncfio i
of heat in the animal body seems to depend both on
(he nerves and arteries ; for it the princip d n -rve of
a limb bn divided, the part b low the division become
cool. The same effect follows the appli<-jfion of a
ligature to the principal artery. That the oxygen
attracted by the red particles of blood during respi respiration
ration respiration is consumed in the production of heat, there
can be nodoub*, and it is not improbable, as asserted
by a late writer, that in this process the electric or
Galvanic fluid, secreted by the brain, and conducted
over the system by the nerves, is a principal agent.
By a late communication from a very respectable
physician in Paris, it appears that the Eau medici medicinale,
nale, medicinale, the celebrated French remedy for the gout, is a
saturated infussion of the hedge hyssop in Rhenish
wine.
M. Levrat, a physician at Chatillon sur Chalaronne
has found the seeds of the yellow waterflag of our
marshes, decoslicated and roasted, to approach nearer
to the flavour of coffee than, any o.her roasted sub substance
stance substance He speaks highly of its salutary effects, is
of opinion that in fevers it may prove a goad sub substitute
stitute substitute for the Peruvian bark. As a stomacl.cr, it is
superior to cdffee.
AL Chombon, a physician of Paris, has proposed
a simple and easy plan of removing bees into another
hive without risk of being stung. It consists in
having the hive made with a top that will open,
placing it on a glass furnished with a metallic plate,
under which the smoke may be safely introduced,
If an empty hive be then placed over the upper ap apperture,
perture, apperture, the smoke will force the bees to ascend into
it. The same gentlemen has made some experiments
to ascertain il it was advantageous to cover sheep
with clothes, as the ancients did with much boasted
advantage. Mr. Chambon did not find, however,
that the wool was increased either in value or beauty
so as to r'pay him for the expense of the cloths

It would have given me great satisfaction tol I;in been enabled to communicate to you the teriniiuiim I of the wnr between this country and the United Slates of America. Although this war originated in the most unpro T . I aggression oa the part of the Government of the Uni. *1 led St des, ami was calculated to promote the de. signs of the common enemy of Europe against th« I rightsand mdept ndence of all other Nations, I ne< I ver have ceased to entertain a sincere desire to bring it to a conclusion on just and honorable terms. lam Still engaged in Negotiations fw this purpose.

The signol defeat of their land emibkda detachment of His Mejcsty’s army to tok« possession of the city of Washington ; and the spirit of < jiterprize which has characterised ail the move, ments in that quarter, has produced on the inhabj. lants a di ep ami sensible imiiression of the calami, riesc! a war in which they have been so wantonly invoh < d. ’1 be expedition directed from Halifax to the norths i in t-c.-o of the United States, has terminated in a mmm-r not Lss satisfactory. ’] >, e successful cmm. of ibis operation has bem followed by the iiamcdiata sii.Jmissioii ot the extensive act! important district, • ast oi tm* Penobscot river, to His Majesty’s arms. ht alvei ting to these events, lam confident yc» will be dispos'd to render full justice to the valour and discipline which have distinguished His Majesty s land mid sea forces; and you will regret with me the severe loss the country has sustained qy the fall cf the gallant Commander of Hi's MajeJyT troops in ’lie adve upon Baltimore.

By a late Order in Council, it was permitted to vessels of friendly States to enter the (’ape of Good Hope, for the jurposc-of repairs and refreshment, and to dispose of so much of their cargoes as shall defray the expense of the same; and also to import articles of provision under the Governors license. This Order farther permits a trade to and from the ports to the eastward of the Cepe with the portsofthat settlement, and from the latter to the ports of the I nittd Kingdom in Biilish or En*t India built vessels, in all article but tea, v' 'i this proviso--ta d the trade f.rm the Cai ;' to this country in Eat India production shall n. 4 be carried on in vs* Is of less burden than 350. The Netherlands are to be made a Kingdom, to which Belgium is annexed as a province, and the Sovereign Prince will in future assume the tittle of King of the Netherlands ¦ ' B Igium. At the meeting of the 1 reach Institute, held the Ist October, for the distribution of prizes, the Duke ol Wellington honored the sitting with his presence. His Grace always goes habited in a plain blue frock coat; he has much the appearance of an English yeoman or g< nilcm.ui farmer. When he presented himself at the door of the Institute he had not a ticket, and, in order to obtain admission, was obliged to introduce himself to the Member who attended the door, by saying, '•''Monsieur je suit I'Ambassadeur ’ Pis well, said the Frenchman, after he hid (Kissed, tint b's Grace discribe himself, n r othervise those who did not know him would take him tor a groom. Asa mark ofespecial favour, and in discharge of a debt of gratitude due to the Marquis of Buckingham, for the noble hospitality shewn by him and his family to the French Royal Family during their residence in this country. Louis W ill has conferred upon the Officers of the first Provisional Battalion, commanded hy the Noble Marquis, the decoration ofthc Flrur de Lys , and the Prince Regent has given them permission to wear it. Bonaparte, according to report, has not yet given •ny established Religion to the Eland of Elba; but is considering what system will be the most political for him to adopt. Like the Commissioners of 11 ackney Coaches in London, he seams resolved to do something—“ What it is yet, I know not.” Several Gentlemen, who have lately visited Fiance assert, that the agriculture of the country does not appear to have suffered very materially, from its long continued revolutionary and disorganised state. The gallant Blucher, who was always called by his troops “the General Forward.''—A certain Gen. at present, claims the same title but “General BacA¦ward." A letter from Vienna assures us, that the Congress will definitively settle the fate of Bonaparte. According to a German Newspaper, (he country between the Meuse and the Rhine will be added to Holland, and not to Prussia, as was reported. By private letters, it is said, that the fate of these Colonies is decided by the Congress, but not permitted to be made known. An Address of the People of Belgium, (prepared by a French Minister) to Louis XVIII. “The history of this Address is short. A meeting of the inhabitants of the cities, towns, and districts of the Netherlands wes held at Lisle, consisting of persons unfriendly to the new order of things to the number of 2 a 300. They had been summoned by circulars dispatched by confidential messengers, and addressed Io those who were known to be inimical tothe incorporation of their country with Holland. The Address was unanimously agreed to. and has been since actually presented tothe iking ol France, not indeed thru’ his Ministers in an official manner, bro usual way that any private petition might be placed in the Royal hand. “ I he Address however, was not permitted to lie unnoticed in the Iloyal Closet ; i* was printed, and, at this moment, copies of it are cirruhfid openly in Paris, and privately through the Netherlands. We understand that 20,000 copies have been sent for distribution in Germany, and more particular al Vienna.” The Address is written wit com ide; ble eloquence, and expresses sentiments which we vvll know to have been long prevalent in the Netherlands as well as in I-rance. Os all the conquests given up by the Treaty of Paris, not one was so much regretted by the French as Belgium. The Belgians, however, can scarcely s a pt.-o.se that any Address can produce much effect in favor of their wishes, aflc. their provinces have been ceded by a solemn treaty, to which Louis XV ill has acceded. PHILOSOPHICAL EXPERIMENTS. By some recent experiments made by M. Bertrand, it appears that charcoal possesses the power of counteracting the fatal effects of the mineral poisons on the animal body. Keen unit.-rates several experiments to prove this fact, the third of which was made on himself. “At half past seven o’clock in the morning,” he states, “I swallowed, filing, five grains of arsenic powder iu half a glass strong mixture of charcoal. At a quarter before eight o’clock, I perceived a painful sensation of heat in the stomach, with great drowlh. 1 then drank another glass ofthc mixture of charcoal. Al half past nine the oppressive pain ceased in the stomach, and was followed by an uneasy sensation in the intestines. Being very thirsty. I drank several cups of an infusion of orange flowers, and at a quarter past ten I Was completely well. Al noon I dined as usual, without incovenionce, and could perceive no far!her derangement in the digestive functions.” The same experiment was made with corrosive sublimate of mercury,, with the same result. As we have hitherto been unacquainted with any article capable of rendering the mineral poisons inert, the communication of AL Bertrand of the result of his experiments is of considerable importance. Vaccination has proved so beneficial in Sweden in the prevention of small-pox, that it appears by the report of Dr. F. Iledin, first physician to the King, that this destructive pestilence is so completely extirpated, that it can never become epidemic in that country again. M. Hildebrandt has lately made some interesting and curious experiments on the preservation of meat in different airs. Tn the susphureous acid gas the flesh soon lost its natural red colour, and ssumed that of boiled meat. It did not undergo any other apparent alternation, and the air of the vessel was neither diminished nor increased in quantify. At Ihe end of seventy-six days the flesh became harder and drier than roasted meat, and was scarcely trained with any smell of sulphureous acid. After exposing it four days tothe atmosphere, it became more firm and compact without putrifying, and did not change colour, merely losing the weak smell of the acid wiihout acquiring any other. In the flouric acid gas the results were in every respect similar: but in the ammonicalgas it exhibited alterations very diff rent, the air being totally absorbed by it. The.colour became of a florid red, and preserved a fresh appearance for seventy-six days. ]t was much softer than in the foregoing experiments, without smel , and Laving the colour and consistence of fresh meat. When exposed to the open air it did not putr ; fy : it however lost its red colour, became brown, dried up, and hid a kind of varnished surface. Heat, being the animating principle of all nature, the source of its production in the animal body hasbeen long a subject of great ’ntcrest a id speculation. By the experiments of Mr. Brodie, it appears that it is produced by the brain, and not by respiration in the lungs. Dr. Hale, who has repeated the experiments observes, that he was surprised to meet results totally different from those detailed by Mr. Brodie. Instead , of finding that an animal in which artificial respiration was kept up, cooled faster than one which did not respire, and that the lungs much sooner th?. l ) the rest of the body, he found that animals respiring retained their heat longest, and that the lungs were the hottest part of the animal. The accuracy of Dr. Hale’s experiments and conclusi on if confirmed by the repeated experiments of M. !e Gallois This esteemed Author observes, that Mr. Brodie assures us, that all decapitated animals which are kept alive cool is fast as if they were dead. It is true that they part with their heat rapidly, but he has always found that young cats cool less than old ones after death. The prolncfio i of heat in the animal body seems to depend both on (he nerves and arteries ; for it the princip d n -rve of a limb bn divided, the part b low the division become cool. The same effect follows the appli<-jfion of a ligature to the principal artery. That the oxygen attracted by the red particles of blood during respiration is consumed in the production of heat, there can be nodoub*, and it is not improbable, as asserted by a late writer, that in this process the electric or Galvanic fluid, secreted by the brain, and conducted over the system by the nerves, is a principal agent. By a late communication from a very respectable physician in Paris, it appears that the Eau medicinale, the celebrated French remedy for the gout, is a saturated infussion of the hedge hyssop in Rhenish wine. M. Levrat, a physician at Chatillon sur Chalaronne has found the seeds of the yellow waterflag of our marshes, decoslicated and roasted, to approach nearer to the flavour of coffee than, any o.her roasted substance He speaks highly of its salutary effects, is of opinion that in fevers it may prove a goad substitute for the Peruvian bark. As a stomacl.cr, it is superior to cdffee. AL Chombon, a physician of Paris, has proposed a simple and easy plan of removing bees into another hive without risk of being stung. It consists in having the hive made with a top that will open, placing it on a glass furnished with a metallic plate, under which the smoke may be safely introduced, If an empty hive be then placed over the upper apperture, the smoke will force the bees to ascend into it. The same gentlemen has made some experiments to ascertain il it was advantageous to cover sheep with clothes, as the ancients did with much boasted advantage. Mr. Chambon did not find, however, that the wool was increased either in value or beauty so as to r'pay him for the expense of the cloths
