Militia Promotions. - We are requested to correct the following error in our last: for JOHN HALKET read Henry HALKET, to be Lieutenant.

We anticipated, on the arrival, on Saturday last, of the Demerary, from Glasgow, the capability, in consequence of being immediately favoured with London and other Papers, of detailing the operations before Cadiz, and the cause and consequences of Massena's retreat; but, though we feel under the same obligations to the Gentlemen for the loan of Papers, we are disappointed in their contents. The first arrival, however, even from Barbados, must "raise uncertainty's dark vail [sic]," and "show us what we wish to see!"

So extremely scarce is silver become in England, that the Bank (as we mentioned in a former number), as well as the Offices of Government, have agreed to receive the stamp dollar at 5s. 6d. instead of 5s. being an advance of 11 per cent. but the greatest inconveniences are experienced in trade notwithstanding, for want of change. This Colony then, has been particularly fortunate in the time of the creation of our silver currency; which, were the operation to be now performed, would produce so very must less a sum in species, than it did at that moment. It is a very singular circumstance, that since England has had an open trade with South America, (the great desideratum of her politicians, for the last two centuries,) the precious metals have become scarcer than at any other period of her history. The gold of the Brazils, and silver of Peru, sought by the English with so much avidity, seem, now the trade is open, to have eluded their grasp; and instead of pouring mines of wealth into that country, the intercourse seems to have been productive of little but bankruptcy, misery, and distress! -

      How void of reason are our hopes and fears!
      What in the conduct of our life appears
      So well design'd, so happily begun;
      But when we have our wish - we wish undone?

COMPILATIONS
FROM
LONDON, GLASGOW & OTHER PAPERS.

The first report of the Commissioners for the Herring Fishery, appointed by the Act of 1809, presented this Session to the House of Commons, states, that the total number of barrels of herrings brought from the Fishery in 1809, which came under the cognizance of the officers, amounted to 90,185 1-4, of which 42,548 had been cured gutted, and of these 34,701, had been found entitled to bounty under the regulations of the Act. The amount of bounties paid was £ 3994 2s.

A cutter belonging to a respectable house in Antigua, was proceeding from thence to Port-au-Prince, with a cargo, and in sight of one of our frigates, was boarded by Christophe's piratical vessels, and carried into Jean Rabel, where the supercargo was taken out immediately, and without delay, mounted on horseback, and hurried away like a thief, without time being allowed, even during a journey of 130 miles, to refresh or rest; when at the end of it he was put down at the rebel chief's door, and in the mean time the cutter was sent to Cape Francois. Christophe ordered the cargo to be discharged, and he forbid every body to purchase; this suiting his purpose, he told the supercargo if he did not choose to accept very low prices for the articles landed, he might do as he thought fit, while the tyrant did not suffer the cargo to be re-shipped; the supercargo was therefore compelled to acquiesce in the despotic dictates of this man. Is our government acquainted with such outrages?

Montbret, the principal director of the Douaniers in Holland, has fleeced the inhabitants in the following manner:- He wrote to 150 housekeepers, offering them employment under him, as most of these men were in business, this offer was rejected. He then threatened to sue them under a particular law, which obliges every inhabitant, under a penalty to accept of any office, requisite for the welfare of the state, and the collection of the revenues. Most of his victims, to avoid the expences attendant upon conviction, compromised, by the payment of a sum of money, and he is thus supposed to have netted within three months about 10,000l. sterling.

DECREE RESPECTING HOLLAND.

The Prefect of the Department of the Mouths of the Mense, makes known by the present to all Editors, Printers, Booksellers, and others, trading in books in this department, that by a Decree of his Majesty the Emperor and King, dated the 29th December, 1810, it is ordered, -

"2d. That in consequence Editors, Printers, Booksellers, and all others dealing in Books in Holland, who are possessors or proprietors of them, are bound to declare, within the space of a month, from the date of the promulgation of the present Decree, to the Prefect of the Department, who will inform the Intendant General of the Interior of Holland of it, the number of copies they possess of each of the said editions.
"3d. That the copies of such Works must be presented in each Department, by every Printer or Librarian, before the 1st of March, to the Commissary who may be appointed for this purpose, and the first page in each copy shall be stamped by him with a stamp prepared for the purpose, after which they may be freely sold throughout the Empire.
"4th. That the Booksellers shall be bound to pay the authors or proprietors the twelfth part of the whole of the copies declared by them actually remaining in their warehouses, or at their disposition, and that every month, in proportion to the sale they may have, which will be determined by the number of copies remaining, which they shall produce.
"In consequence, the Prefect orders all Editors, Printers, and Booksellers, in this department, who are possessors of editions expressed in the above-mentioned Decree, to send to the Prefect before the 11th of this month a declaration of their firm, in which declaration the profession and dwelling of the declarant shall be specified, the title of the work, name of the author, number of copies in their warehouses or at their disposition, the place where, and the time when they were published, as well as the period of their impression in France.

APPENDIX

To the Report of the Committee appointed by the House of
Commons respecting Commercial Credit.

"That the distress which in the origin was considered to be attributed to the imprudent speculations to South America, has been in a certain degree occasioned by other circumstances of a different nature, and far more extensive in [illegible].

TO HOSPITALITY.

In other climes, where I have been,
Fair Nymph! thou oft' doth frowning stand,
Whilst, on the threshold thou art seen
Beck'ning with thy lily hand
                        THE STRANGER!

As if indeed thou fain would'st say,
"From custom this is due from me,
But yet I hope he'll answer - nay!"
At least indeed so constru'd he -
                        THE STRANGER!

But here - so cruel-kind art thou,
That fearful of intrusion's sin,
If he should loit'ring stand, and bow,
Thou get'st behind and pusheth in -
                        THE STRANGER!

Demerary, May 12th, 1811.

We have inserted the above as requested – but, nevertheless, give it The Stranger as our legal opinion, that it is actionable!!! – for it is certainly defamation!!! – and the blackest ingratitude for such hitherto unexperienced treatment!!! – a treatment, which must assuredly have originated in "love at first fight!!!!!!"
