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.

FROM TUT’ BOSTON REPERTORY’.
A Free but CanFJ Elscusdon of lie late
Ne AVe conic now Io a most impnrteid question. Is
there any just reason to believe that (treat Britain in intended
tended intended to insist on any other article than Peace with
the Indians an ! security tor their possessions, so that
they might be a permanent barrier to secure the Ca Canadian
nadian Canadian provinces.’
In the first conferrcncc the British opened some
•objects of discussion, one of them only, the Indian
territory and peace they declared a sine qua non or
indispensable. Without that, they would make no
peace. Tftis in common sense was declaring that the
others were not indispensible' Isl h y bad afterwards
without a change of circumstances brought forward
•ither of the others as indispensable conditions it
Would have been deemed unfair or perfidious.
Our ministers adroitly with a view to create doubts
asked them whether any of the other articles were
also intended as a sine qua non.
If the British were instructed to make them such,
there was no reason why they should not avow it.
They had before done so frankly, when whether

the Indian peace and Indian boundary were both sine
qua non.—They answered yes.
But if they had replied to the other question, that!
they were not, it would have been committing them themselves
selves themselves to our Ministers and giving up the questions.
For as soon as our ncgociators should know that they
were not instructed to insist upon them, they would
have refused to djseuss them.
The British Ministers warily took the only course
left to them. They answered when you have replied
to our proposed sine qua non it will be time enough to
talk of another 44 We have been (say they) sufficiently
explicit” and so they were. They stated four sub subjects
jects subjects of which one only they declared to be a sine qua
non.
In confirmnlion of this in the last letter of the Brit British
ish British Ministers, after they received their new instruc instructions
tions instructions they refer to the Indians peace and Boundary
only as a sine qua non.
The other points must therefore be considered only
as subjects offered for discussion, to be modified, or
: wholly conceded eccording as our Ministers might
! press other claimsand demands.
AVilh this view ofthe subject which lam persuad persuaded
ed persuaded is correct, it is almost uneecssary to discuss the
other propositions. It is wholly uncertain whether
every one of them would not have given up. It is
probable they would h ive been modified ia such
away as to meet honor.
I infer this from the manifest desire of Great Bri Britain
tain Britain to make a peace, a desire most evidently proved
by the terms offered.
But as false rumours have gone abroad, and an im impressions
pressions impressions is attempted to be made that the terms pro proposed
posed proposed were degrading to us, such as “a conquering
nation only would impose upon a conquered people,”
and as the very proposal of such terms even if not
intended to be insisted on ought ji.-tly to exile the in indignation
dignation indignation of a free people. It .is of some cons quence
to look at the terms, keeping in mini however that
(hey wore mere proposals to be modified or even
abandoned.
If Great Britain Ind proposed that we should
change our President, if -he did not mean to make
t hr. t a sine qo-> non, still it •would be afi’ronfive.
But were any of the terms she proposed of this
aifrontivc character ?
Let us take one of which she seemed to make the
most. The a rreement that we should demolish our
forts J keep no fleet on the lakes.
I- this insulting ? If it is s> it must be because it
is unusual—because no great nation ever submitted
to such a thing—because it was a wanton mid urine urinecess
cess urinecess iry humiliation of us without benefit to her, or
because it would be very injurious to us.
II on tin other han:! it has been a common stipula stipulation
tion stipulation between great and powerful nations, when
neithcrof them was humbled.—ls it was really im important
portant important ami necessary to her security and not impor important
tant important or injurious to us, thansurely it was nqt a Ifrontive.
Is this true ? can zee deny it ? who boasted we
could take Canada in four months. She has been
our neighbour there for 30 years. Have we ever
felt or experienced danger from her ?
The reasons she assigned are honorable to us.
They admit our rising greatness, our formidable
power they express a fear of us. Is this degrading ?
surely not. But it was solemnly true that we are
dangerous neighbours to her, and this war has prov proved
ed proved it.
What she demands is only that we should do what
wc did before the war. For 25 years wo had not a
ship of war on either lake; we had only the misera miserable
ble miserable fortress of Niagara, (miserable I call it from per personal
sonal personal observation) with a feeble garrison of 70 men.
—As to Miahilimchinack and Detroit, I presume no
man will call them fortresses though they had the
name of torts. t
But is it not true also that in twelve months we
became masters of all the lakes ? and under good and

efficient rulers we could do it in six', ft is idle to say
that a nation of 7 millions of people are afraid of be being
ing being unarmed on a frontier against a colony, a scat scattered
tered scattered colony of 250,000 Frenchmen. Great Britain
never did, and in case of an ho test peace, never will
maintain a force in these piovinces of more than
3,000 men.
If then we can never be afraid of her; if her sub subject
ject subject have had dreadful cause to be afraid of our irrup irruptions,
tions, irruptions, is there any thing so degrading in admitting
that she ought to be afraid, and is afraid of us? And
therefore that wc will keep no force ready to pounce
down upon her unsuspecting colonists.
To those who wish when we have a peace that It
may be durable, 1 \vould add one word more. If we
maintain a force on the lakes Britain must do so too.
From the irritations, the remembrance of past wrongs,
the bitter spirit resulting from the late predatory war
on the frontier, collisions and quarrels must be in inevitable.
evitable. inevitable. Our peace may be disturbed as soon as it
is made. If we have no force Britain will soon with withdraw
draw withdraw hers'. But I add there is little doubt, if our
Ministers had met the Brit ish offers in a spirit of con conciliation,
ciliation, conciliation, this article would have been modified to a
mutual demolition efforts and dismantling of ships.
There remains but one other question. Is this an
unusual stipulation ? Have not nations often demand demanded,
ed, demanded, and great powerful proud nations, unsubdued,
unconquered, perfectly equal, often granted such
condit ions for the sake of anoiding future quarrels ?
AV hen men arc quarrelling, the first and most ra rational
tional rational sympton of reconciliation is to lay aside wea weapons
pons weapons of offence.
M hy maintain any force on the Jakes when cither
they nor we have kept any of conseqicnce for 30
years ?
Louis XIV. by the treaty of Utrecht, (hen even at
the moment the most powerful sovereign in Ftiropa
agreed to demoli-h (he fortifications of Dunkirk to
quiet the fears of the English and Dutdi. H * did
so. '('he same stipulations was repeated in the treaty
of Aix la Chapelle and of Paris in 1792. In this lat latter
ter latter treaty Louis XV. added a still more extraordina extraordinary
ry extraordinary condition, he agreed to demolish the forts on the
land side. Great Britain dictated that peace. Ry
the aid of the brave people of Massachusetts and
Connecticut she had conquered the Canadas, mid
humbled Spain by taking the Island of Cuba. Yet
i even Britain stipulated to case the fears of Spain, to
demolish all fter fortifications in the Bay of Honduras.
Yes the conqueror did this. His Most Christian
Majesty the King of France also agreed not to erect
fortifications or keep troops in certain parts of his
East India possessions. I could multiply in these
examples without number.
These are enough because they relate to the two
greatest powers in the world,and one of them too this
very enemy then a conqueror.
Is it derogatory to us to agree to tint which thes»
nationseven in success agreed to ? did I say agree to
it ? it is doubtful whether it would havebecn insistnl
on ; but if it had been it would have promoted and
perpetuated peace. The truth is, such a demand is
complimentary to us as it proves a dnadofour po.iar.
The Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia
have heeu at Aspern, where the Archduke Charles
showe d them the field on which the great battle was
fought, May 21 and 22, 1809.
The Sjwmiards are punishing the Mahonese for
their attachment to the English, by imposing heavy
burthens, 11 sail of the line are now in Port Mahon
to block the harbour up. <

J.ettyrs trom Vienna says:—Sir Sidney Smith it charged with two important missions to the Congress —the first is to demand ol all the Powers of Europe the abolition oi the Slave Trad-'; toe second, torequire measures to be taken for the subjection of the Barbary Pirates, who successively insults all flags But the Congress has s<> much business to attend to that it is no worth any notice. Pdv ate accounts from Paris state, that at d late review ot the (roops near that ci(y, there were several fatal occurrences ; two or three men are killed : four or five balls whistled very near where the Duke of V. ellington and the Duke de Berri stood. In the House of Commons, on the 14th November Sir G.

particularly desirable that the commerce Lftbe country should’ be protectcd,the enemy’s ships Im nnoycd, and therefore the vote would be for 70, IflOOseamcn. He then moved,—“(hat 70,000 men be I ntedfor the service of the year 1815, including |{^X)Royal Afarines.—Also that sum of lie granted for wages, at the rate of £ 1. 15. 6d. per Loath,’for foe said thirteen months.” I fbe following ext net of a letter, published in a | provincial print, expresses some fears at the threat| of French manufactures over Hur e | of England:— N mmamly is evidently making very towards out vindyig w h ite.ver v.e have I fa Lancashire, particularly at Ron n. Not half an jw since I have seen in a part of r.

On the Sdnov. 3 was received at Hamburgh by express that the Diet of Norway had recognised his Majesty the King of Sweden for Sovereign ni-1 Bril non, still it •would be afi’ronfive. But were any of the terms she proposed of this aifrontivc character ? Let us take one of which she seemed to make the most. The a rreement that we should demolish our forts J keep no fleet on the lakes. Ithis insulting ? If it is s> it must be because it is unusual—because no great nation ever submitted to such a thing—because it was a wanton mid urinecess iry humiliation of us without benefit to her, or because it would be very injurious to us. II on tin other han:! it has been a common stipulation between great and powerful nations, when neithcrof them was humbled.—ls it was really important ami necessary to her security and not important or injurious to us, thansurely it was nqt a Ifrontive. Is this true ? can zee deny it ? who boasted we could take Canada in four months. She has been our neighbour there for 30 years. Have we ever felt or experienced danger from her ? The reasons she assigned are honorable to us. They admit our rising greatness, our formidable power they express a fear of us. Is this degrading ? surely not. But it was solemnly true that we are dangerous neighbours to her, and this war has proved it. What she demands is only that we should do what wc did before the war. For 25 years wo had not a ship of war on either lake; we had only the miserable fortress of Niagara, (miserable I call it from personal observation) with a feeble garrison of 70 men. —As to Miahilimchinack and Detroit, I presume no man will call them fortresses though they had the name of torts. t But is it not true also that in twelve months we became masters of all the lakes ? and under good and efficient rulers we could do it in six', ft is idle to say that a nation of 7 millions of people are afraid of being unarmed on a frontier against a colony, a scattered colony of 250,000 Frenchmen. Great Britain never did, and in case of an ho test peace, never will maintain a force in these piovinces of more than 3,000 men. If then we can never be afraid of her; if her subject have had dreadful cause to be afraid of our irruptions, is there any thing so degrading in admitting that she ought to be afraid, and is afraid of us? And therefore that wc will keep no force ready to pounce down upon her unsuspecting colonists. To those who wish when we have a peace that It may be durable, 1 \vould add one word more. If we maintain a force on the lakes Britain must do so too. From the irritations, the remembrance of past wrongs, the bitter spirit resulting from the late predatory war on the frontier, collisions and quarrels must be inevitable. Our peace may be disturbed as soon as it is made. If we have no force Britain will soon withdraw hers'. But I add there is little doubt, if our Ministers had met the Brit ish offers in a spirit of conciliation, this article would have been modified to a mutual demolition efforts and dismantling of ships. There remains but one other question. Is this an unusual stipulation ? Have not nations often demanded, and great powerful proud nations, unsubdued, unconquered, perfectly equal, often granted such condit ions for the sake of anoiding future quarrels ? AV hen men arc quarrelling, the first and most rational sympton of reconciliation is to lay aside weapons of offence. M hy maintain any force on the Jakes when cither they nor we have kept any of conseqicnce for 30 years ? Louis XIV. by the treaty of Utrecht, (hen even at the moment the most powerful sovereign in Ftiropa agreed to demoli-h (he fortifications of Dunkirk to quiet the fears of the English and Dutdi. H * did so. '('he same stipulations was repeated in the treaty of Aix la Chapelle and of Paris in 1792. In this latter treaty Louis XV. added a still more extraordinary condition, he agreed to demolish the forts on the land side. Great Britain dictated that peace. Ry the aid of the brave people of Massachusetts and Connecticut she had conquered the Canadas, mid humbled Spain by taking the Island of Cuba. Yet i even Britain stipulated to case the fears of Spain, to demolish all fter fortifications in the Bay of Honduras. Yes the conqueror did this. His Most Christian Majesty the King of France also agreed not to erect fortifications or keep troops in certain parts of his East India possessions. I could multiply in these examples without number. These are enough because they relate to the two greatest powers in the world,and one of them too this very enemy then a conqueror. Is it derogatory to us to agree to tint which thes» nationseven in success agreed to ? did I say agree to it ? it is doubtful whether it would havebecn insistnl on ; but if it had been it would have promoted and perpetuated peace. The truth is, such a demand is complimentary to us as it proves a dnadofour po.iar. The Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia have heeu at Aspern, where the Archduke Charles showe d them the field on which the great battle was fought, May 21 and 22, 1809. The Sjwmiards are punishing the Mahonese for their attachment to the English, by imposing heavy burthens, 11 sail of the line are now in Port Mahon to block the harbour up. < Orders have been issued to our fleet on the American coast, tod-'stroy vessel that the capturing Commanders may not deeni of sufficient value to send into port.
