RUNAWAY from the Subscriber, a negro, named Richard, a mason. He is about 5 feet 6 inches high, of a slender make, with very full eyes, and a disagreeable countenance.

As he is a Barbadian, it is very probable he may endeavour to get thither by passing himself for a free man, and shipping himself on board of some of the traders to that island. Captains of vessels are therefore cautioned against employing or carrying away such a person, and the above reward will be given to any person apprehending and lodging him in the Colony-Jail.

THE Subscriber having some pressing demands against him, which he is under the necessity of immediately answering, to prevent himself from being sued, again solicits those indebted to him to come forward with payment of their accounts in all the present month; as it is his settled determination (however repugnant to his feelings) to place all accounts unpaid on the 1st of February next, in the hands of a lawyer to be recovered, as no further indulgence will be given. He still carries on his business as heretofore, but begs leave to notify, that nothing in future will be delivered on account; and also requests all those sending articles to be repaired, to send a note along with them, otherwise they will not be received.

Militia General Order.
HIS Excellency the Acting-Governor feels it a duty incumbent upon him, in the temporary command he has the honour to hold of the Demerary Militia, to express his warmest thanks to the Revd. W. G. STRAGHAN, for his appropriate, impressive, and animating sermon yesterday, upon the important military duties of that respectable body.
From the well known soldier-like feeling of the Corps, and the evident attention shewn to the exhortation, with the examples adduced from Sacred Authority of Victory and Success attendant upon true valour and confidence in a good cause, there can be little doubt of the result should Providence permit the present tranquillity [sic] and happiness of this Colony to be disturbed by any Enemy.
It being the intention of Major General Carmichael to attach two Field-Pieces to the First Battalion of Demerary Militia, as soon as possible - Lieutenant-Colonel Otto will form a Company of Artillery from the Line; in the first instance to consist of one Captain, two Subalterns, two Serjeants, three Bombardiers, and thirty Gunners; a return of the names of the Officers, and Non Commissioned Officers to be given in to Lieut.-Colonel and Adjutant-General Brandt.
King's House, George-Town, January 4, 1812. [sic]
By Command, JOHN EYRE,
A.D.C.

The Fame, Capt. Greenidge, arrived from Barbados yesterday, and has brought Papers to the 29th ultimo; but their contents are not important.
 

LOCALITIES.

At the commencement of the new year, we should be certainly guilty of gross dereliction of duty, both to ourselves and to our friends, did we not express our gratitude for the past, and our hopes for the future. For the occasional assistance, therefore, of some, the liberal criticism of others, and the ultimate patronage of all - we return our thanks; and, as our exertions, during the present year, will, we trust, be similar to those of its predecessor - we also trust, that similar will be the conduct of the Public toward us.

On Sunday, pursuant to what appeared on the subject, in the Militia Order of Friday, the Royal Battalion accompanied His Excellency the Governor and Suit, to the Parochial Church. Demerary, we believe, has never before witnessed so fine a military spectacle. About two o'clock, the line was formed under the auspices of the Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant, Otto, and Major Tulloh, on the dam, in front of the house of P. A. de Veer, Esqr. About half past, the Governor, attended by his Aides-de-Camp the Hon. J. Johnson, Lieutenant Colonel Van Rossum, and Capt. Eyre, and preceded by the banners of the regiment, escorted by an armed detachment, and attended by the Band of the 60th, issued from the King's House, and passed the line in grand review. On entering the avenue of the Church, His Excellency and Field Attendance alighted, and proceeded in quick time, to the Sacred Edifice; at the door of which, the Revd. Pastor met his Martial Visitors. The scene was truly impressive - the Discourse was worthy of the occasion, the orator, and the auditory - and the text was the 7 verse of the 32d chapter of the 2d book of Chronicles.

We now present our promised narrative of the Ramoncita's victory over the Hornet: - a victory, so unparalleled in the annals of mercantile warfare, that we know not which sensation predominates - surprise or pleasure! - This, however, is certain; that to those brave and skilful defenders of vessels committed to their care, (our Thompsons, our Irlams, and our Kennans,) we feel a particular gratification in adding the name of - Venables - The following is extracted from the log-book: - "In lat. 32. 18. n. long. 41 w. Nov. 25, at half past two, p.m. a sail was discovered on our starboard beam. At three, found her to be a ship bearing towards us, under a heavy press of sail. We then bore on a wind, got ready for action, and continued on the same tack in order to be convinced how she could sail with us - her superiority, however, was soon apparent. Being now within gun-shot, we tacked, and crossed him a-head. Evening fast approaching, we thought it prudent to show our colours, for the purpose of preventing any mistake in the dark, should the ships near each other. The Enemy, however, did not follow our example, until we gave him a shot - when he hoisted British. By his superior sailing, he was soon after this under our lee - he then hailed, and asked what ship ours was - we answered, His Britannic Majesty's armed-ship Ramoncita - and enquired what ship that was. He replied, His Britannic Majesty's ship Indian, and desired us to send our boat on board. Receiving for answer, we should not, until convinced he was British, he declared he would fire at us. To this we replied, if he did we would return it. After a few minutes, he hailing again, we lowered our boat, and manned her with an officer and two of our weakest hands, sent her along-side, and she was almost immediately after, returned with an Officer from the ship. This gentleman was soon marched into the cabin - where we again enquired what ship it was - he however said that his Captain had ordered him not to inform us. We then enquired, what flag he sailed or fought under - and his reply was, they had British colours flying. We then informed him we were convinced he was an enemy, and therefore should detain him and commence the action. On this he cautioned us against commencing an action with a ship under British colours. We then proposed that if we permitted his return, would he pledge his honour to send our boat and men back, with the information as to what ship it was - he answered he would. It was now 5 o'clock - and in about ten minutes, those we expected came, and it was then found that it was the United States' sloop of war Hornet, with 22 long twenty fours and eighteens, and 250 men, our officer having been permitted to examine the vessel. By our officer a message came that if we did not strike immediately he would sink us. By this time he hailed, and asked if we had struck - we answered we should convince him of the spirit of Britons so long as we had a man on board; and gave orders to fire - the enemy being nearly yard-arm to yard-arm. - The broadside was soon returned, and a most severe fire kept up on both sides for three hour and a quarter; when we found that all his guns, but three on the larboard side, were silenced. Hitherto we had a windward position, but now the wind flew suddenly round on the starboard beam, which made us become the leewardmost ship. He soon bearing up on our larboard side, and his yards nearly locked in our braces, the action was renewed with great vigour, and continued about an hour and a quarter longer - when it was evident, that we had also silenced the guns on that side, except two. He then bore away. On mustering our brave crew, we found that two men were killed and twelve wounded. The situation of our ship was very bad, having had two feet and a half water in the hold, from the commencement of the action - scarcely a shroud or back stay left to hold the masts - the yards without braces, and the sails in a shattered condition; the main-top-gallant-mast and yard being shot away - and the main-mast severely wounded, a 24 pound shot having passed through it - the mizen-top-mast likewise severely wounded - and much shattered in our hull." We shall have some further particulars to communicate on Saturday.

Capt. Venables, it appears, fell in with the Crane sloop of war, off this coast, and we feel great pleasure in having to record the very handsome conduct of Capt. Stuart of that vessel. An Officer was sent on board to press, but when Capt. S. was informed of the severe action in which the Ramoncita had been engaged, he not only would not take any of the crew, but furnished Capt. Venables with ammunition, and offered any other services in his power to render.

A Convoy for England is to leave Barbados on the 17th instant, and the General Rendezvous, between Turk Inland and St. Thomas on the 25th.
