An Error respecting dates having occurred in the Proclamation of the Honble: Court of Policy, as inserted in our last Week's Gazette, we have been desired to republish the same as follows:

By His Excellency Colonel Robert Nicholson, Acting Lt.-Governor of the Colonies of Essequebo and Demerary, with their Dependent Districts, and President in all Courts and Colleges within the same, &. &c. &. and The Honble: Court of Policy of the said Colonies;
Unto all whom these Presents may or shall concern Greeting, be it known;
Whereas a Resolution has been passed by this Court some time ago upon the recommendation of His Majesty's Ministers, to grant a Colonial Bounty on all British American FISH imported and landed in these Colonies for the period of one year, commencing the 1st June last and ending the 1st August 1808, and whereas under the existing circumstances we are desirous that the measures so adopted for encouraging the Importation of British American FISH and thereby securing to the Colony a constant supply of that most indispensable article, should be made known as much as possible to all whom it doth concern.
We therefore have thought fit to issue this Proclamation thereby giving notice that in consequence of our aforesaid Resolution, the following bounties will be paid for the period before-mentioned on all British Salted and Pickled FISH, already imported since the 1st June 1807, or yet to be imported and landed in this Colony until the 1st August 1808, viz: -
On Salted Fish per Quintal, 2 Shillings, or 24 Stivers, Hs. Cy.
On Pickled Shads per Barrel of 32 gallons, 12 Stivers.
On Herrings per Barrel of 32 gallons, 20 Stivers.
On Mackrell [sic] per do. 24 Stivers.
On Salmon per do. 32 Stivers.
The above Bounties to be paid to the Importers, or their Order, by the Receiver of the Colonial Chest on a Certificate of the principal Officers of His Majesty's Customs in this Colony, stating that the British Salted or Pickled Fish therein specified and for which the bounty is claimed, has been actually imported and landed in this Colony.
Done at our Ordinary Session held at the Court House in the Town of Stabroek in Demerary on the 26th October 1807, and Published on the 7th November next thereto following.

Extract of a Letter from an Irish Gentleman residing at New York, to his Friend in this Colony, - dated 2d Octbr: 1807: -
"Dear Sir, - I would have answer'd your favor some weeks ago; but it did not arrive till yesterday. - The Americans are chockfull of Fight. - Destroying a Leopard, or a Tyger, is performed with as much facility at the Tontine, as the Folks accomplish their task at a Husking. - The Lion is to be tortured into obedience by a Corps of Mamouths from Kentuckey, if Recruits cannot be collected in time, the President's Proclamation is to navigate all the Gun-Boats, ashore and afloat, against Him. Commodore B---r---n is to command, barring the bites of the Leopard. - and Captain Decatur too, to be shure he wont stay at home - I'll write you the result of the Expedition as soon as I know it myself. - The Poor Canadas, upper and lower, are whacked into subordination, by every Tanner in the Sate [sic], as they say. - Louisannia [sic] is to remain untouched by Catholick fraternal embraces, with the addition of the Two Floridas. - The West Indies is starved, seven days in the week, at every Vendue Office, and Porter House in the City. Rum in future is only to be used at Elections. - The importation of Sugar is to be declared an assault upon the Constitution, and any Person convicted of the Fact, is to be adjudged guilty of a friendly disposition towards England, and banished to North Carolina, or the District of Maine during bad behaviour. - Molasses however is to be admitted to Entry in the US. under a bounty of Ten Pumpkins for each Hundred Gallons, during the sitting of Congress. - All this stuff, they bother us with every hour in the four and twenty, and with as sanctify'd a visage, as if they believed a single word of it themselves."
"Such is the doctrine of the hour, but even the Result of four days consideration, may prevail on the Birds to whistle a different tune."
 
From the Boston Gazette. [heading]
British Deserters. [heading]

It has constantly been the opinion of many persons, that the seamen which were claimed by the British Minister, and afterwards taken from the Chesapeake frigate, were British subjects and Deserters from the British Navy; and that our Government suffered itself to be imposed on by the falsehood, under which they were received on board the above frigate. The following declarations are under oath, and seem to be attended with circumstances which forbid any doubt of their veracity.

Extract from the Trial of Jenkin Ratford, lately executed at Halifax. [heading]

"John Strachan, after giving an account of his desertion from the Melampus, the first of February, in company with Ware, Martin and Little, says, "they went to Norfolk, where he, Martin and Ware, entered for the Chesapeake, that he knew the faces of several Englishmen on board the Chesapeake, but did not know their names, that Commodore Barron promised to protect him."
"William Ware says, "that when they came before Commodore Barron at the Naval Yard at Washington, he promised to protect them, although they were deserters from an English Man of War."
"Jenkin Ratford, before his execution, acknowledged, "that he was born in London, that he voluntarily entered into His Majesty's Service, that he deserted in the jolly boat of the Halifax, in company with George North, captain of the main-top, Henry Saunders, boatswain's mate, Richard Hubert, sail maker, and another man whose name he did not know, that they all entered at Norfolk for the Chesapeake frigate, and afterwards joined her at the Federal City; that in a short time Richard Hubert ranaway, and was seen at Alexandria by some of the crew, about three days after; and that George North and Henry Saunders ranaway during the time the ship was coming down the river. That Richard Hubert was from Liverpool, and formerly belonged to the Leander, and that Saunders was an Irishman. On his defence, Ratford said, "that at the time of their entering for the Chesapeake, Lieutenant Sinclair asked them if they had not a second name." On this suggestion, Ratford altered his name, to Wilson, and was so entered on the Chesapeake's books. To this circumstance it is owing, that the name of North and Saunders were not to be found in the books, and to their having deserted on the passage of the Chesapeake from Washington to Norfolk, is also owing that they were not, like Ratfort [sic] found hid in the coal hole of that frigate. What protection Commodore Barron, after all his promises afforded to these deluded, unhappy men his own feelings must long before this time have suggested to him."

The Boat of Mr. Rk. Cozier, in returning to Town on the 31st ult. was pursued by a Spanish Canoe, (dispatched from a large Schooner, which lay a little way out) with from 25 to 30 men, - the Boat was steered into the Trench of Evergreen Plantation, by which she escaped, - tho' not without doing considerable damage to the Enemy, at whom Mr. C. with the passengers on board discharged upwards of 40 musket shots, besides a cannon on shore, which was manned and fired on her, and appeared to do them considerable injury, as they immediately rowed off with all speed.

The Armed Boat belonging to Mr. Ashley has again been hired by Government, and will sail this Evening or To-morrow, under the command of Lieut. Gold with 30 men belonging to the Demerary Brig, to look out for the Spaniards, who it is said have captured 3 Boats in the course of the last 2 days.

Died. - On Sunday last in Berbice, Mrs. Harris, Wife of Wm. Harris, Esq. late of this Town.
On Wednesday Morning, Mr. James Keith.

Mr. Printer,
Demerary, 8th Nov. 1807.
Sir,
It is scarcely necessary for me to say, that I feel the most heartfelt and keen remorse at having so far committed my character, as even to suffer my name to appear in public, connected with that of so universally dispised [sic], and notorious a Pest to Society, - Martin Doyle. Had I been as well acquainted with the vile depravity of his profligate heart, as the whole Colony now appears to be, the wealth of the Indies, - nay, no earthly consideration whatever, should have induced me, ever to be seen in his company. - Like the midnight assassin, in the garb of a monk, he took advantage of my inexperience and short standing in the Colony, and by his sanctified sophistry and pretended religious deportment, succeeded in makeing [sic] me believe him, what I have since found him to be as different from, as light from darkness, or heat from cold, viz. An Honest Man.
The consummate hipocrisy [sic] which the atrocious and abandoned wretch then displayed, is only equalled by the impudence, and total disregard of truth evinced in the letter which bears his Signature, published in your last Paper.
I shall not attempt to vie with the writer thereof in abuse; the greater part in my opinion required, no other reasoning than the powerful force of argumentum backalinum, and with the administering of that I should have been contented, did I not know that your Papers go out of the Colony and into Societies, where I am known, but where such a grovelling miscreant as Martin Doyle, dare not attempt to shew his face; on that account alone, Sir, I think proper to state that I am ready to prove at my domicilium, at any time the truth of what I have before asserted. There also I am ready and willing to exhibit the Books of the concern to any respectable gentleman, by which it will appear that he is indebted more than f 15,000, while I stand in credit upward of f 12,000, a Balance sheet whereof, I had the honesty to present to the Honble: V. A. Heyliger, Acting President of the Hon. Court of Justice: before which tribunal he must but flatter himself (by mistaking indulgence for irresolution) that I have given up my intention of bringing him.
Convinced therefore that I am duly warranted in so doing, I now finally direct and request that no Payments may be made to him, on account of the late firm of Doyle & Wells, nor did I, Wish or offer myself to receive any, till the business is determined by the said Hon. Court.
With regret for giving you so much trouble concerning so dastardly and truly unworthy a being.
I am, Sir, your, &c. &c. &c
W. H. Wells.
