No. 3 1st December, 1807.
To the Printer of the Royal Gazette.
Sir, - If His Majesty, in Council, has been pleased to consider Americans as friendly Neutrals, I am willing to hope their future conduct may justify the belief. Their past proceedings does not deserve it. Had Bonaparte found it convenient, for the French Treasury to liquidate the sum of Seven Million five hundred thousand Pounds Sterling, adjudged due to Americans for French spoilations during the former War: and had He not foreseen that England would not permit Louisiana to become a French settlement that vast territory would not have been bartered to the United States on such easy terms. But the acting Parties understood the intention of the temporary bargain. It was in effect aiding France with American Funds to support a Regicide contest against England. I am at a loss to discover, what system of logic, can prove such People to be Friendly Neutrals. - Whatever conciliatory measures the present Ministry may have judged prudent to adopt, in relation to the adjustment of our difference with the United States, I am not informed. The English Nations look with firmness to the conduct of the Cabinet. They, believe that the sacred regard, It, is bound to observe for the Constitution, and extend to Our, yet firm and triumphant Country, has cautioned Ministery [sic] against yielding to any conclusion, wearing the disgusting form of Concession. The immediate state of England empowers Her to demand: and forbids Her to concede. With a dignifyed [sic], loyal, and encreasing [sic] Navy: a numerous, zealous and well deciplined [sic] Army: as jealous of their honor as they are of their constitutional rights, She can contend, and controul [sic]. - The late ungenerous and indecent deportment of the American People to Admiral Berkley and his Squadron, is a lively indication of their national affection. It comports with the sentiments of their present Chief Magistrate, who for years past has bestowed his own assiduous labours in conjunction with those of his favorite Missionary, to effect an alliance with the Regicide Ruler of France; for the purpose of annoying our Commerce, and, aid in the bosted [sic] reduction of England. The propagated idea, of Mr. Jefferson's intention to resign their Presidency, is ridiculously inconsistent. Americans who felt, and Englishmen who viewed his Plans in 1802 to secure his situation against growing opposition, will judge for themselves. As long as Mr. Jefferson is President, and while natural resentment continues to be cherished by, and operate in the breasts of Americans: England will do well to exercise cautious distrust. - If She ever slumbers in confidence, She will awake in the arms of deception.
Zelot.

By the arrival of the Ann Schooner, from Barbados, (with a cargo of flour for Messrs. Underwood, Johnson, Co.) We learn that both the first and second October mails had arrived there, and were to be forwarded from thence on the 27th ult. by Capt. Carter, who had arrived there from this Colony the preceeding day and may now be hourly expected.

By a private letter to a Gentleman of respectability in this Colony, it appears that a Cartel had arrived from Guadaloupe, with some passengers who had been captured on board the Elliot, Capt. London, and the Juno, Capt. Mc'Murray, who sailed in company from hence about the middle of October, soon after which they were captured by a French privateer and carried into Guadaloupe. The frequency of such captures renders highly probable that the enemy contrives to get intelligence of the departure of our running ships.

By the arrival of Capt. Parker's Schooner in Berbice, the Bag of Mr. Cummins has been received this morning overland. - The second Mail for October had reached Barbados and brings London Papers to the 4th of October, their contents are not by any means interesting.

It is with much satisfaction we announce the capture of a Spanish Launch, by the boats of the Demerary Brig, and the hired Pinnace in in [sic] company. The Demerary had been cruizing for some time off the mouth of the Oronoque without discovering any thing of the enemy; till a few days ago she gave chace to a topsail Schooner with which she could not come up, she however dispatched the boats to watch in shore, who at day light in the morning saw a launch hovering close in shore, to which they instantly gave chace and came up; the people on board fired one round, and instantly took shelter below, they however made a good deal of resistance in being boarded.
The enemy had seven men killed and two wounded, one of which was the Captain, who soon after died of his wounds, three or four swam on shore. The others, seventeen in number were brought a shore and put in prison, they certainly are a set of the worse [sic] looking fellows, that ever were seen, chiefly, Indians, Mulattoes, and Negroes very dirty. The Launch mounts a three pounder in the bow; - it is hoped that she will be equipped for the protection of the coast in future. It is said to be the same which captured the boat of Mr. Hubbard.

Died] - On Sunday Evening at her Son's house in Stabroek, Mrs. Ann King, aged 58 years.
