The Packet from England being now almost hourly expected, we flatter ourselves this is the last number of the Royal Gazette which will make its appearance in a state of political darkness, and without its (humbly presumed) usual attribute of annihilating public anxiety, rectifying public errors, and confirming the public mind in all its just conceptions!

Rumours are innumerable; and, did we wish to mislead, a better opportunity never offered! But we are not retailers of common reports; and if, by chance, an erronious [sic] one did ever "steal a subtle passage" to that part of our paper which we could ever wish to be sacred alone to truth, we have always possessed grace enough to contradict it, and apologize for the involuntary delusion! - And yet, averse as we are to give unauthenticated information, the Barbados Papers, received by the sloop Blackbird, have, in the present instance, seduced us from our accustomed practice, by "something so pleasing," so truly gratifying to the feelings of affectionate loyalty, that we cannot resist the insertion of the following article:
[not transcribed - European news]

To Correspondents. [heading]
The Poetical Communication of E - will appear in our next number, in its present state if required - but we would recommend it to his re-consideration; in which case we make no doubt, it will attain that degree of perfection he appears so capable of bestowing upon it.
Does L. Z. conceive that the Royal Gazette will ever become the vehicle of such trash as we have received from him; an article without sound or sense; in fact, neither poetry or prose [sic – neither/or]; forbid it Genius!
