The attention of the inhabitants of Berbice is requested to the Postmaster's Advertisement in this paper, by which it will be seen that no delay is likely to occur in the delivery of their papers. The post boy will start every Saturday so soon as our paper is published, and is enjoined to use all possible expedition.
We have been induced to make this arrangement for the convenience of our Subscribers in Berbice as well as the benefit of ourselves, and all the emoluments we can derive therefrom must spring from the additional encouragement we expect our paper to be honoured with.

The Demerara, Capt. Inglis, and Maxwell, Capt. Edwards, (running ship) arrived here yesterday from Liverpool, after a passage of only 28 days. The former, which is consigned to the house of M'Inroy, Sandbach, and M'Bean, brought Liverpool papers of so late a date as the 3d Jan. containing London news of the 29th December, with a sight of which we have been favoured.

An American vessel came in here on Thursday, with some French men and women on board, last from Cayenne; they were not, however, permitted to land and the vessel was ordered away in the course of the day.

Four Portuguese and a Spaniard were lodged in the Fort by the Military on Tuesday, having been taken in Mahaica Creek. The roundabout tale they tell is, that they sailed on board a brig from Lisbon to the Brazils, whence they took some passengers to Cayenne; that the vessel drifted from there down to Surinam, where the Captain went on shore to obtain assistance; that the Captain staying longer than was expected, they were sent in a small boat to look for him, in which they drifted to Berbice; that they obtained some provisions there, and afterwards reached Mahaica Creek, where they were secured as above stated.

About the same time six Spaniards were taken at Pomeroon. Their professed object was to obtain leave from the Governor to open a trade in cattle, &c. for which purpose we understand they produced a letter from a lady at Angestura, to an inhabitant of this Colony. They were unarmed, and did not attempt to make any resistance, but when discovered, shewed the letter, and begged for mercy.

There appears to be rather a strange coincidence in these circumstances.

Sporting. - A Trotting Match for five joes took place last Tuesday; it did not, however, afford much amusement. The Gentleman who lost (although no Irishman) declared it was owing to the indisposition of his horse, and that he would ride again for the same bet so soon as he was in a state of convalescence.

Thursday and Friday were great Cocking days, and afforded plenty of hitting and Splitting sport; but, by J----s, we have no room for particulars.

We are very happy to hear that a superb service of plate has been presented to the Hon. Col. Nicholson by the inhabitants of Berbice, as a mark of their esteem and high respect for his merits.

The following Appointments in Berbice have been officially announced:
J. J. van der Stoop, Esq. to act provisionally as Fiscal. Webbe Hobson, Esq. to be Deputy Receiver General. John F. Kendall, Esq. Commissary in the Civil Colonial Department. M. S. Bennett, Esq. Sworn Translator in the English, French, and Dutch languages. And the said J. J. van der Stoop, Esq. to be Deputy Secretary, to commence his functions on the 1st of April next.
The Hon. Paulus Eggers and Wolfert Katz, Esq. to be Members of the Court of Civil Justice, in the room of M. S. Humbert and Daniel Leen, Esqrs. who, having acted two years, went our agreeably to the Charter, (J. Bakker, Esq. who also went out, being re-elected). And J. G. Cloot de Nieuwerkerk, Esq. to be also a Member of the said Court, to complete the number fixed for a full court; his Excellency Brigadier General Governor Montgomerie having deputed the Presidentship to the senior Member.

The Undersigned finding that very little attention has been paid to his Advertisement of the 31st of December last, hereby, for the last time, informs all those who have any Demands against him to come and receive the same; and all those who are indebted to him, to come and settle their Accounts, otherwise they will be put into the hands of his lawyer, to be sued for without distinction of persons, as he intends to quit the Colony in three weeks from the date hereof, in order to re-establish his health.
He also offers for Sale his House, No. 56, Werk & Rust, consisting of a well built Dwelling House two and a half stories in height, 56 feet in length, and 20 in breadth, all of the best Colony wood; also a brick Kitchen and Oven, a Pack House, &. all in good repair; likewise a Schooner of the best Colony wood, with her rigging, 2 anchors, cables, &c. all complete, also a Negro Man, being the complete sailor, and Negro Girl. An approved Purchaser will meet with reasonable terms, by applying to M. Hoppen.
