We have delayed the present Publication to the last possible moment, from the hope we entertained that some arrival would take place from Europe or the Islands. But, unfortunately for that interest which the Royal Gazette might otherwise inspire, not a vessel has made its appearance: and we are thus under the necessity of issuing a Paper, possessing no foreign novelty, if we except a brief sketch of a late debate in the British Parliament on the subject of Portugal, and a few observations on the British Orders in Council, as they particularly relate to the United States. Which articles, as well as the occurrences of Georeg-Town, will be found under their appropriate heads.

Since writing the above, however, we have been informed that His Excellency the Governor of Berbice has received a letter from Surinam, stating that advices had arrived there, of the French being rapidly on the retreat from Spain.

LOCALITIES. [heading]

Our Court of Justice has continued to sit daily; and, as several somewhat important cases have been argued before it, we intend, as early as possible after the Session is over, giving as general an abstract of them as we can obtain.

The Office of His Honour the Fiscal, we find, is removed to the house lately occupied by Mr. Philipart, in Werk and Rust.

W. N. Firebrace and J. Fileen, Esquires, have been elected to the seats in our Courts of Justice, vacated by Baron Van Grovestine and A. C. Boode, Esquire.

Our late Theatre Royal, it appears, is on the eve of becoming an Academy - Mr. Cart, of Stabroek, having taken it for that purpose.

A Court-Martial assembled on Thursday, at Marshall's Hotel, for the trial (at his own request) of R. Phipps, Esq. late Captain-Commandant of our Militia-Cavalry, charged by His Excellency Major-General Carmichael, Acting-Governor of the Colony, and Commander-in-Chief, with "ungentleman and unofficer-like conduct," on and since the 4th of June; but we shall refrain from any detail, until the sentence is passed - a circumstance which will doubtless take place early in the ensuing week, as the defence is to be made on Monday. The Court was composed of the following gentlemen:
ALI DEY, [centered]
Major-Commandant of the Fourth Battalion of the [centered]
Demerary Militia, President; [centered]
HENRY TULLOH, [centered]
Captain in the First Battalion; [centered]
WILLIAM M'BEAN, [centered]
Brevet-Captain of the Rifle-Corps; [centered]
H. O. SEWARD, [centered]
Lieutenant of the Artillery; [centered]
and [centered]
CHARLES M'GAREL, [centered]
Lieutenant in the First Battalion.
