The Gentlemen composing the Company of Mahaica Volunteers, lately returned from an expedition into the Bush, beg leave thus publickly to express their high sense of the very gentlemanlike and truly hospitable treatment they experienced, after their fatigue, from - Brandes, Esq. of Plantation Soestdyk; a behaviour which, though not in the least at variance with this Gentleman's usual mode of conduct on similar occasions, formed so striking a contrast with what the Company had the mortification to endure from certain Beings living on two other Plantations where they were necessitated to call, that their feelings were too much affected by it, to allow them to remain mute.

To the Printer of the Essequebo and Demerary Gazette. [heading]
Sir,
As the production of the famous Cotton Seller (now self-dubbed Cotton Planter) in your last week's paper, is precisely of the same fabric with all his other works, namely, an endeavour to obtain credit under false pretences, I am convinced that the discerning part of the public will not deem it incumbent on me to notice it any further than by referring to that part of my fist statement which regards the presence of two witnesses. It is an easy matter, Sir, in this enlightened age, for an insidious villain to find a person capable of clothing a glaring falsehood in the garb of truth; but the man who knowingly puts forth to the world as fat what two unexceptionable witnesses can at any time incontrovertibly prove to be the reverse, shows himself to be so completely case-hardened in the school of iniquity as to be incapable of any praiseworthy feeling; of course, that colour of countenance which his misdeeds would seem to have stamped him with, could not be expected to change its hue, though forced to start from the hiding-place behind the door.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.
March 5, 1807. Good at any Time.

To the Editor of the Essequebo and Demerary Gazette. [heading]
Sir,
In your paper of January 15th I observe a certain Cowskin Hero complaining of the too frequent use made in this Colony of the word Esquire. I perfectly agree with both you and him, that it is very often much misapplied; and, no doubt, the Hero who thus complains must be Proprietor of some considerable Estate, as he speaks so freely of his Overseer, and his first and second Driver, and must naturally feel himself much hurt when his Manager, Overseer, and Drivers are thus put on a level with him. I shall esteem it a favour if you will give us your opinion in your useful and well written Gazette, Whether a Cowskin Hero, like Heroes in general, has the privilege of being addressed by the name of Esquire? so that those who are not well informed on these points of etiquette may run no risk of addressing such Heroes improperly. An answer to this question will oblige your constant reader, A.B.C.D.
N.B. There are Overseers as well as Managers who would net disgrace the title of Esquire.
(The Editor acknowledges himself to be incapable of answering this question,)

The Shippers per Ship Granada are respectfully informed, that it is the positive determination of the Undersigned to sail with his said Ship with the Convoy appointed the 7th prox. full or not full. He therefore requests al those who have engaged to ship in his Vessel, to send their Produce on board as soon as possible.
Rio Dem. March 7, 1807. W. Richardson.
N.B. The Granada loads with Coffee and Cotton only.

Just Imported, and for Sale by the Subscriber, at his House on Werk & Rust,
