On Monday last, as the schooner with the baggage of His Excellency Gen. and Governor Montgomerie on board, was proceeding to Berbice, she unfortunately got aground near the Plantation La Petite Fortune, and stuck so fast that all the efforts of the crew to remove her were ineffectual. Mr. and Mrs. Firebrace with three children, and Mrs. and Miss Beresford were passengers on board, and of course in a very disagreeable situation; luckily, however, it was moderate weather, and their distress was considerably alleviated by the kind attentions of H. H. Post, Esq. who sent them every refreshment, till a colony schooner was procured from town by Mr. Heywood, which took them safely on board, when they proceeded on their voyage. The schooner, &c. however, still remained fixed in the sand, till, by the prompt assistance of Messrs. Post, Florimont, and Breton, who sent upwards of 150 negroes for the purpose, a canal was dug at low water, and she was again got afloat on Wednesday morning.
Too much praise cannot be given to the above named gentlemen for their humane and generous conduct, as well as for their indefatigable exertions, on this occasion.

The Regulation respecting the Change of Domicilium from one Colony to another, which we mentioned upwards of a month ago to be in agitation, was published the 19th instant. It is now the Colonial Law, that no person shall transfer his Domicilium from Essequebo to Demerary, or vice versa, without giving notice thereof three times in either of the authorised weekly Newspapers of this Colony.
(Such Advertisements will be inserted in this paper in English alone, or in Dutch alone, for Two Guilders a time; or in both Dutch and English, the whole three times, for Four Dollars.)

On Monday the 21st of September 1807, at two o'clock in the morning, Jacob van Millingen, Esq. Member of the Hon. Board of Orphans, departed this life.
Without the bright talents which shine in the Statesman or Hero, his life, more useful to society, has been cut off in the vigour of it by the will of the Almighty.
His amiable mind, adorned with useful talents and benevolence, rendered him precious to his friends and society. He was equitable, just, though feeling for the errors and faults of mankind, and scorned to depress more those already afflicted. Exemplary in the fulfilment [sic] of his duties, he never deviated from the paths of honour and virtue.
He is no more!!! - You indigents, to whom he offered consolation and relief - You Orphans, who deplore in him a Father- You Friends, whom he esteemed and loved, who now with the same sentiments feel so severely his loss - let the sacred tear of pity drop on his untimely grave, and repeat with a Latin poet,
Ossa quieta precor! Tura requiescant in urna!
Et sit humus cineri non onerosa tue.
The remains of the above worthy Gentleman were interred on Monday evening at the usual burying place, after a very affecting discourse by the Rev. G. Ryk. Upwards of 100 Gentlemen attended his funeral.
