- 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 unanimous will 'of the Powers assembled at

this important event, and their desire that the Sover Sovereign

love ot the Dutch bid given to us.
Deeply moved by these expressions of their wish- 1

PRIGATE.
Superb, at Anchor before New London,
' Jan. 23, IS 15.
Fir—l have the honour to acquaint you with the
captur of the United States’ s'i\p President, on the
lath instant, by the force described in the margin
’( Majestic, Tenedns, Endymion,wnd Pomone}, which
I Ind collected off the liar of New York, under the
direction of Captain Hayes. She and the Macedo Macedonian
nian Macedonian armed brig, of 420 tons, leaden with provision.',
sailed on the preceding evening, under the command
of Commodore Decatur: but the present season of
the year, and the dark nights of which have availed
himself, have not enabled him to elude the idgilance
of Captain Hayes, and the Commanders ofâ„¢is Ma Majesty's
jesty's Majesty's ships under his orders, who have well dis discharged
charged discharged the important duty I assigned to them; and !
I Log leave to offer you my congratulations on th**
design of the American Government being defeated.
You. will perceive by ths reports Captain Hayes
has delivered to ul (copies of which I do myself the
honour to transmit to you herewith) the ardour dis displayed
played displayed by Crxpt iin Hope in the pursuit, the intrepi intrepidity
dity intrepidity with which he brought the enemy’s ship to close

Sr a, —l have the honour to acquaint you, that not notwithstanding
withstanding notwithstanding my utmost endeavours to keep the squa squadron

Fo de, agre< abl to oar directions, for the purpose
ofpreventing the escape of the United States’ ship
President other vessels ready for sea at Staten
Islands, we were repeatedly blown oil by frequent ga gales
les gales ; but the very great attention paid to my orders
and instructions by the respective Captains, in situ situations
ations situations difficult to keep company, prevented separa separation
tion separation ; and, whenever the wind
coast, I invariably, on the gale moderating, placed
the squadron on that point of bearing from the Hook,
J judged it likely, from existing circumstances, would
be the enemy’s track; and it is with great pleasure I
have now to reform you o’s the success of the squadron,
in the capture of the United States’ ship President,
Commodore Decatur, on Sunday night, after an an anxious
xious anxious chase of eighteen hours.
On Friday, the 7 ewerfos joined me, with your order
to take C-iipt. Parker in thatship, under my command;
we wore then in company with the Endymion and
Pomone, off the Hook, and sight of the enemy’s ships;
but that night the squadron was blown off again in a
severe snow storm. On Saturday, the wind and
weather became favourable for the enemy, and I had
no doubt but he would attempt his escape that night;
it was impossible, from the direction of the wind, to
get in witMkhe Hook, and, as before stated (hi pre preference
ference preference to closing theland to the southward), wc stood
the northward and eastward, till the squadron
inched the supposed track of the enemy, and what
is a little singular, at the very instant of arriving at
that point, an hour before day-light, Sanday-Hook
bearing W.N.W. 15 leagues, we were made happy
by the sight of a ship and brig standing to the south southward
ward southward and eastward, and not more than two miles on
general chaoe was mads,and promptly obeyed by all
he ships.
In the course of the day, the chace became extre extremely
mely extremely interesting by the endeavours of the enemyi to
Escape, and the exert ions V)f the Captains to get tbteir
respect ive ships alongside of him, the former by cpt cptiug
iug cptiug away his anchors, am! throwing overboard every
moveable article, with a great quantity of provisions,
t and the latter by trimming their ships in every wpy
possible to effect their purpose. As the day advanced,
the wind declined, giving the Endymion an evident
advantage in sailing; and Capu Hope’s exertions
enabled him to get his ship alongside of the enemy,
and commence close action at half past five o’clock in
the evening, which was contrbued with great'gallan great'gallantry
try great'gallantry and spirit qn both sides, for two hours and a half,
when the Endymion's sails being cut from the yarth,
the enemy got a-head ; Capt. Hope tak'ng this op*
portunily to bend new sails to enable him to his
ship alongside again, the action ceased, till the Po Pomone
mone Pomone getting up at half-past eleven at night, and fir firing
ing firing a few shots, the enemy hailed to say she had al already
ready already surrendered.
* t
The ship, on being taken possession of. proved to
be the President, as obove stated, commanded by
Commodore Decatur.—-The vessel in company with
her was thr Macedonian brig, [a ntercAawl versa? la la-1
-1 la-1 den zctlh provisions'], which made her escape by very
superior sailing. ><•
And now, bir, a very pleasing part of my duly is
tiicbeaiiitg testimony to the able and masterly man manâ–
â– manâ– ner in which the Endymion, wus conducted, and thr
eallanlry with which she was fought: and when thr
effect produced by her well-directed fire upon the i
President ir witnessed, it cannot be doubled but that
Captain Hope would have succeeded in cither cap capturing
turing capturing or sinking her, had none of the squadron been
in sight.
( For your further information, I have the honour to
inclose Capt. Hope’s letter, with a rctyrn of killed
and wounded on board the Endymion. I have sot
yet been able to ascertain the loss of the President,
but I bdlicve it to be much greater than the
mion's; and she had six feet water in the hold when
1 taken possession of; both ships were very much cut
in masts and rigging ; and, had the present most se severe
vere severe gale commenced’twelve hours sooner, the prize
wwuld undoubtedly have sunk; as soon as the we..-
< her will permit a communication, I shall procure fur further
ther further particulars, and then send the Endymion and
Pomone with the prize and prisoners to Bermuda.—
