- 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.

NEW AMSTERDAM,
JANUARY 28, 1815.
We have this work received some Barbados pa papers,
pers, papers, but they contain nothing of importance.
BARBADOS MERCURY,
Bridge-Town, January 7,1815.
AT noon yesterday, His Majesty’s ship Barossa
arrived from Antigua ; and it was soon in circulation,
that she was the bearer of the highly gratifying intel intelligence
ligence intelligence that the British forces under the command of
Lieut.-General Drummond had compelled the enemy
to surrender Sachet's Harbour, some time about the
24th November, and, by a simultaneous attack, our
squadron had been equally successful, Sir James Yeo
having taken the whole of that Flotilla ; and also that
Commadore Chauncy, who defended his vessels with
great gallantry, was killed during the action. These
accounts, it was said, had been derived fron an Ame American
rican American paper of the 7th December, which was taken
from on board the Gallant Hull, one of two schooners
that were chased by the Barossa and Barbados brig,
but the other got into St. Bartholomew. They had
been but twelve days from Baltimore when the for former
mer former was captured, and sent to St. Thomas. It is to
be regretted, that this paper was inadvertently des destroyed
troyed destroyed on board the Barossa ; because, from what
we have since heard, some doubts have arisen with
respect to the accuracy of this information.
It fs, satisfactory, that We are thus ac<
quainted with the recent rapture of the American ship
of war H asp, by the Castilian British brig of 18 guns,
which, it is reported, fell in with the enemy whilst
cruising off Madeira, and took possession ofthe Wasp
by boarding.
Through this channal, too, it is learnt, the United
States are in the greatest commotion in consequence
of the Conscription Bill, which has been passed by
Congress, and authorises the arming of 80,000 men,
to complete which each State to furnish its quota.
This has been objected to by the Northern States, and
they do not hesitate to declare, that they will not com comply
ply comply with the requisition ; so that, connecting this with
those Resolution which are likely to be adopted by
the New-England Convention, a disunion may, in all
probability, be the result of this measure on the part
of that Government.
On the 24th December, in the night, the Barossa
fell in with a Spanish vessel of war, which mistaking
her for an armed ship belonging to the Insurgents on
tEe Main, fired :nto the Barossa, and, we are sorry
to add, killed two men, and did some injury to the
ship. Upon receiving a few shots from our frigate,
the Spaniard discovered his error, and will no doubt
in future be moie cautious.
A private letter recently received from Halifax,
states, as a rumour, that the American line-of-battle
ship Independence, with acomplctement of 1000 men;
and the frigate Constitution, had sailed in company
i from one of the ports of the United States.
A letter from St. Thomas, recently received here,
states, th .t the American ship of war Independence,
was seen cruising in the neighboorhood of St. Do Domingo.

Rear-Admiral, Naval Commander on this Station;
Sir James Leith, Commander in Chief of the Land
Forces; Major-General Lindsey, Governor of thx

M. de Perinelle, had previous arrived from Fort-
Royal. The change of Flag was announced by a
general and brisk firing, both from the batteries and
the frigate, which began a little before five, and was
continued till near sun set. The French troops,
whose march was interrupted by an immense c rowd
of people, moved to occupy the post of the battery
D’Esnotz, amidst repeated shouts of “Vive le Roi!â€
from the spectators.—ln the mean time, Sir James
Leith, surrounded by the General Officers and the
respective Authorities of the two Nations, arrived at
the battery, wishing to deliver up the post himself.
The restoration was made with great pomp and so solemnity,
