The Undersigned, in order to afford convenience to the public, has hitherto been content to take "Goods" in payment for the Ferry Money; but finding so much difficulty in obtaining Cash for the vast number he has by him, that he cannot satisfy the demands against himself, he hereby makes known, That the Ferry Money must, in future, be immediately discharged in CASH. To remedy the scarcity of small change, he has had "Goods" of his own prepared, which he will give in change of a Joe or any other money, and which Goods will at all times be taken in payment by
Hk. Fasy, Ferryman.

By. I. A. Cart, Jun. at the Harmony Society, Side Dam, Stabroek, Madeira Wine of the best Quality, by the Dozen; also Bitters of an excellent Quality, at a reasonable Price, for Cash. - Stabroek, Aug. 19, 1807.

We have authority to communicate the following intelligence, and we do so with the greater pleasure, as it will be found more satisfactory than any other account in this paper.

"Letters from Berbice, dated the 10th inst. inform us that the ship Harriet, Capt. Thompson had arrived there that morning, after having been chased into that River by a French schooner privateer, of 16 guns, which ran so close in shore as to be fired upon from Fort Myers.

Two more privateers are said to be off Berbice, besides the one which chased the Harriet.

A vessel is now off the Bar, supposed to be the Demerara.

A box is now placed at the King's House for the reception of votes for a Kiezer, in the room of the Hon. Jas. Johnstone. It is to be opened on the 3d of next month.

A story has been in circulation this week, that the engagement stated in our last to have taken place off Berbice, was only a mock one between two French privateers, in order to draw out the Skipjack. We wish it may prove to have been so. The conjecture respecting the Wilding was wrong at any rate.

On Thursday evening, as a celebrated Procureur, living in Stabroek, was returning from an airing in a single horse chaise drawn by a fine large coach horse (which he occasionally rides), accompanied by a young lady, and followed by a negro mounted cap-a-pee on a similar horse, the chaise unhappily coming in contact with another just by the bridge which leads to Mr. Campbell's, the learned Gentleman unfortunately obtained what we believe he never yet sued for, viz. a complete ducking in the Front Trench of Vlissingen, which (as if Providence had so ordered it), from the sluice rope having accidentally broke in the morning, and from a good deal of previous rain, was so full of water, that neither Chaise, Procureur, nor even his white wig, was to be seen for some time. We are happy, however, to state that the Lady having had sufficient presence of mind to jump out when the chaise was on the turn, escaped without any injury except a sprain of the foot and the fright. A vast number of people presently assembled, and, as soon as it was known that the lady was safe, all hands went to work with the greatest alacrity and even merriment to aid the poor half drowned Procureur. After some difficulty, his deliverance from this "durance vile" was effected, and by the kind attention of a neighbouring Gentleman, assisted by the little of his good Cogniac, he was soon so far recovered, as to give hopes that he may afford further amusement to the Colony. The Trench, however, took the Chaise, ipso facto, under Execution, without either citation, Condemnation, Summation, or Renovation! - Quaere, will not an action lie against the said Trench?

"The Devil (they say) will have his own." - The above Chaise is stated to have been purchased by the learned Gentleman at an Execution Sale for Two Joes.

It would seem that this was rather an unlucky week for our Procureurs. The preceding evening another learned and not less beloved Gentleman met with a sort of a set down, which, though of a different nature, we apprehend was equally unused for. He was passing on horseback by the house of a respectable Merchant in apart of Vlissingen not far from where the above accident happened, viz. where a new koker has been this week placed, when he was addressed from a window. The Procureur immediately stopped, and, taking off his hat, and inquiring for what he was summoned, had the supreme satisfaction to hear it announced, in the presence of a number of persons witnessing the placing of the koker, that "he was the greatest sc------! on the face of the earth; that a Gentleman then present declared so; that they all agreed in the assertion; and that the whole world knew it to be fact. The learned Gentleman upon receiving this kind salute, did not attempt to plead, preach, or pray, but quietly moved off even more coolly than did his learned brother after his action with the Trench, and to the equal merriment of the multitude.

For our parts, we were really shocked to behold the behaviour of the public on these occasions. - Good God! it forcibly occurred to us, what can these Gentlemen (Members of a profession in itself so honourable) have done to their fellow creatures, that, under such circumstances, they meet with such sort of commiseration [sic]!
