Departed this life on the 1st of January 1807, my Brother Cornelis Gerardus Evertsz, Captain in the Dutch Navy, commanding the Keno Hasselaar frigate, and likewise the Harbor or Road of Curacoa.
A cannon ball struck him in the head, while, abandoned by the Fort, he, like a man of honour and a brave soldier, defended the post entrusted to him on his honour and oath.
This blow deeply affects the heart of our aged Father, our family, and myself, to whom he was not alone united by the ties of nature, but by the most affectionate friendship.
It is, however, a great consolation to our grief, to be convinced that he is regretted by all who were acquainted with his amiable and open character; and to know, that he, worthy of his ancestors, has sacrificed his valuable existence to his country, on the bed of honour; in the fulfilling of whose sacred duties, he was found faithful until his last breath.
Oct. 9, 1807. H. C. Evertsz.

Pileus Dominum iaveniet. [heading]
Mr. Printer,
I think it my duty, through the medium of your paper, to caution all who may be in the habit of receiving orders for produce for payment, to make immediate use of them, for fear of accidents, we shall suppose. The following instance I experienced a few days ago.
A person, whose Knighthood forms one of his most striking characteristics, gave me an order for some Rum (at that time deposited in the store of a respectable Merchant in town). For or five days elapsed before I could get the Rum disposed of. At length, having met with a purchaser, I went to deliver the Rum - Judge my surprise, on being informed, that it had been taken away, in the interim, by the very person who gave me the order for it! But, according to a late injunction, the feelings of individuals are not to be hurt.
Oct. 9, 1807. Yours, &c. R. R.

There Wisdom, often with a critic wig,
The face demure, knit brows, and forehead scowling,
I've seen o'er pamphlets, with importance big,
Mousing for faults, or, if you have it, owling.
- Peter Pindar's Epistle to those literary Colossusses the Reviews 28th stanza.
Happy - thrice happy, this Colony! possessing such able Critics, who, watchful as the Geese on the capitol, don't let escape the smallest offence against the language of Virgil and Cicero!
Happy art thou, learned Aristarch, who could discover in a trifle inspired by feeling, that the syllable cant was long, and ought to have been short, in the quotation of the a Latin verse of Ovidius!
But I am unhappy! Deprived of the perusal of the works of that poet (as classical authors are rather more scarce here than classical censors); totally unable to engage in a war of pedantry; I have no opportunity to discover who is in the wrong, Ovid, his Printer, or my Memory; and must therefore remain silent. But, wishing that the uncommon talents of this erudite Gentleman may be still more useful to society, I shall request him to become the Weekly Critical Reviewer of all kinds of Advertisements in the Newspapers of this Colony. I offer myself to be the first subscriber to this work, the utility and satisfaction which it will afford not being doubtful.
Oct. 7, 1807. F.

Mr. Goepel's Concert, [heading]
Advertised in our first Page, is postponed in consequence of several Gentlemen from Essequebo being prevented from attending by the privateers on the Coast.

We are obliged to defer several articles already prepared, on account of the length of the Prussian Treaty.

We hear, by the way of Curacoa, that the late Dutch Governor Changuion had been arrested at New York, at the instance of the Dutch Consul, on account of the late capture of that island by the British.

The Spaniards have been very busy lately off our coast. Four or five Colony Boats are said to have been taken within the last fortnight; one belonging to Messrs. Verwayen and Horn was captured yesterday week in the night by a canoe full, but all the negroes, save one, escaped. Messrs. Hatfield and Murrow were not so lucky; besides taking their boat, the Spaniards are said to have landed on their Plantation, and carried off nine negroes.
It was this morning reported in town, that Messrs. Roberts, Hubbard, and another Gentleman who had gone off in a boat, with about 20 negroes, to endeavour to seize one of these canoes, had also been taken. We hope, at any rate, this is not true.
