Myn Demicilium Citandi et Executandi [illegible] Huyze van de heer van der Haas & Co.
den 25 April 1807. T. Quiding.

The ingenious Author of the English and Dutch Acrostic was not aware, perhaps, that our paper has the honour of being perused by Ladies as well as Gentlemen, his communication, therefore, is not altogether proper for our use, though it may be though a d----d good thing over a bottle.

It gives us concern to state, that the Highlander, Capt. Stevenson, and two other homeward bound running ships, have been captured by the enemy. The former is said to have arrived at Point a Petre on the 30th ult. It was at first supposed that the two other ships were the Maxwell and Jason from this port; but that was found to be an error. The following account from the Barbados Mercury, it will be seen, makes them the America and Ajax; there appears, however, to be some mistake in the latter name, so such vessel, we believe having sailed from this port; perhaps it should be the Alexander, which did sail about the same time.

[Barbados Mercury article not transcribed]

More correct accounts have been since received here from the other islands, which state the ships captured to be the Highlander and Alexander from this port, and Anne and Harriet, from Berbice, and that the enemy was left in chase of two more. The Harriet has been recaptured by his Majesty's schooner Mozambique, and sent into Grenada; but it is feared the others are got safe into Guadaloupe.

The Park and Tower guns were fired in London on the 21st Feb. for the taking of Curracoa. Besides the ships of war taken there, consisting of a Dutch frigate, Kenan Husslar, of 36 guns, the Surinam sloop, of 22 guns, Flying Fish schooner, of 14 guns, and a Spanish schooner of 10 guns, 69 other fell into the hands of the captors, besides 300,000 dollars, in specie.
The vessels of war made a gallant resistance, most of their officers being either killed or wounded before they surrendered. Among the former was the Commodore J. C. Evertsz, who bravely fell while encouraging his men. He was, we believe, an elder brother of Mr. Evertsz, of this colony. The gazette account of this capture will be given the first opportunity.

We understand that His Excellency Lieutenant Governor Bentinck is about to depart for Europe, for the re-establishment of his health. In consequence of his Excellency's indisposition, the Hon. J. J. Kotwyk officiated as President of the Court of Justice this week.

His Majesty's sloop Helena, Capt. Worth, which convoyed the Cork fleet her, went over the bar on Thursday, and we believe has since sailed - A handsome vessel, or a finer crew, perhaps, never before was in this port. She will first go to the Western Isles, and then home.

Deaths - At Berbice, on the 7th inst. the Hon. A. Adami, Member of the Court of Civil Justice of that Colony.
On Wednesday week, at the same place, Dr. Maasbach, Manager of Belle Vue.
On Friday week, at Mahaica, Joseph Stads, Esq. formerly Exploiteur here.
On Thursday morning last, Mr. Aut, partner with Mr. Schaapers, blacksmith. He went to bed the preceding evening in perfect health, and at three o'clock in the morning was a corpse.
On Thursday night last, Mr. Francis Cromby. The deceased having belonged to the Rifle Company, was buried by them with military honours.
