The Packet sails to-morrow; and the only arrivals since Tuesday, are the Friendship, Capt. Striplin, from London, and the London, of Jersey, from Oporto.

The Paper now before the reader, possesses similar domestic interest, to that of its predecessor, for some time past; for, in the first page, appears a Proclamation from His Excellency Major-General Carmichael, calling on the qualified inhabitants of the United Colonies to supply, by their votes, the existing vacancies in the College of Kiezers; and in the subsequent parts will be found, Copies of Addresses presented to Governor Bentinck, by the Proprietors, Attornies, Merchants, &c. and by the People of Colour, on His Excellency's departure from Demerary, with the Answers he returned. From the Secretary's Office also appear two Notifications of some importance; the one informing, that all vouchers respecting the Transports and Mortgages to be passed at the June Session of the Commissariat Court, must be given in at least a week previous; and the other, postpones the first Roll Court, in the present month, from the 19th to the next day.

As to Foreign Affairs, the only important intelligence brought by the before-mentioned Vessels, is as follows: - The Captain of the London reports, that Wellington is in possession of Badajoz, the combined armies having stormed that fortress, even in the presence of Marmont, who immediately after, retreated; and the Friendship, on the 11th of April, it appears, in Lat. 43, 7, long. 10, 55 w. was informed by the Armide frigate, Capt. Dunn, that he saw the French Fleet (from L'Orient) go into Brest.

Departed this life, on Thursday night last, the Lady of J. Waddell, Esq. deeply regretted by all who knew her.

To His Excellency Governor BENTINCK. [heading]
SIR,                  "Demerary, April 14, 1812.
We, the undersigned proprietors, attornies, merchants, and inhabitants of the colonies of Demerary and Essequebo, beg leave, on your Excellency's departure to England, to express the sentiments that we feel, that your conduct on every occasion during your administration has been dictated by no other motives than the benefit, protection, and good order of the colonies committed to your charge: feeling ourselves restrained from giving any opinion on the circumstances that have occasioned your absence from the colony, we may, however, be permitted to regret them.
We are but too well aware that the government of the West India colonies is becoming daily more delicate, difficult, and arduous task. - The marked prejudices against their inhabitants, that are so industriously fomented in England by zealots, ignorant of our local situation, who omit no occasion of misrepresentation, are but too well known to the world; but prudential considerations prevent us from enlarging on the subject.
A residence of so many years in different colonies in this quarter of the globe, cannot but have fully acquainted your Excellency with their situation; and, during your government of these colonies, we are perfectly convinced that your measures have been uniformly dictated by a regard to their preservation and improvement.
The marked zeal and activity with which you flew to the suppression of an inclinate [sic] insurrection is a neighbouring colony, whose vicinity would have endangered our safety, is not forgotten by us. The general improvement, both in town and country; the edifices that have arisen, or are arising, for the sacred purpose of the worship of Almighty God, according to the established forms of the Dutch and English Churches; the commencing improvement of the police, whose completion has been delayed by causes far remote from inattention on your part, from the strongest proofs of a paternal and attentive colonial government, though labouring under the disadvantage of a period of unexampled difficulty and privation.
If your Excellency's honour and character have been attempted to be obscured by interested malevolence, or ignorant fanaticism, we trust they will be fully cleared by the investigation of truth. - That they may arise, like your actions and your motives, pure, bright and unsullied, is the most sincere and ardent wish of,
Sir, your Excellency's most obedient
And most humble servants.
(Signed by nearly two hundred Gentlemen.) [centered]

To Joseph Beete, Esq. and the Gentlemen of the Committee.
GENTLEMEN,
I am highly gratified by the very flattering Address you have presented to me.
The sentiments you are pleased to express, respecting my conduct during my administration of the government of the colony of Demerary and Essequebo, cannot fail to excite in me the most heartfelt satisfaction, when I reflect that the persons who have honoured me with the Address belong not only to the most respectable part of the community, but are also competent judges of the effects of my administration.
I can assure you, Gentlemen, that I much regret the temporary absence I am called upon to sustain; but that I cherish the prospect of my return to my government, to reside amongst you, and to enjoy your approbation.
H. W. BENTINCK.
