An Extract from the Minutes of the Proceedings of the Honourable Court of Policy of the Colonies of Demerary and Essequebo, with their Dependent Districts, at its Ordinary Session, held at the Court House in Stabroek,
Wednesday, the 30th of October, 1811,
(After Prayers,) [centered]
The Honourable Joseph Beete laid before the Court a string of Resolutions, desired and agreed to at a Meeting of the Subscribers to St. George's Church, held on the 1st of June last, for the purpose of appointing Vestrymen, and of levying an assessment on the pews, in support of the expences of the Church; it being provided by one of these Resolutions, that application should be made to the Court of Policy for a confirmation of the same, as far as regarded the mode of assessing and collecting the revenue for the expences of the establishment; and Mr. Beete, as a member of the Vestry, elected by the Subscribers to St. George's Church, now requested that the Court would be pleased to give its sanction, to the desired effect, in order that the Vestry may meet with no opposition or impediment in raising the necessary funds for the Church.
The Court being anxious to afford to the Subscribers to St. George's Church every countenance and support, to enable them to maintain, on its present respectable footing, an establishment, for which this Colony is indebted to their public spirited exertions, it was resolved, that St. George's Church is considered by the Court, and declared by them accordingly to be, a public edifice, to such effect that this sacred building shall never be liable to be levied upon for any engagements contracted by the members of the Vestry, but that the latter alone shall be themselves personally responsible for the same; and, further, that the Court do sanction the assessment made at the Meeting of the Subscribers held on the 1st of June last, as well as all future assessments that shall hereafter, in the same manner, be appointed to be paid for the proper support of the Church; the Court also confirming the powers vested by the said Resolutions in the members of the Vestry, respecting the mode of proceeding for enforcing payment from defaulters of the assessments so made, or yet to be made.

At last, after an interval of uncommon length, an arrival has taken place from England; the Thomas, Capt. Forster, having entered our River on Wednesday last: and, what makes her more than usually welcome, is the great and glorious news she is the bearer of! - Yes" Victory has again sided with the Allied Armies, and (if we may be allowed the expression) Wellington has extended the immortality of his name! - Another Marshal of France confesses his conqueror; other Eagles are doubtless on their passage to England; and another pillar has been added to the fabric of Spanish Independence!

[The Ships Queen and Fame, from Liverpool, are just arrived; but, as they sailed before the Thomas, of course they are not the bearers of any particular intelligence. - Three P.M.]
