The Berbice Mail-Boat arrived yesterday from Barbados, but has not brought any Papers later than the Catharine - although she communicates the following most important information:

On the 18th of February, both Houses of the British Parliament passed an unanimous Vote of Approbation, on the War with America; and pledged themselves to support the Executive, in the vigorous prosecution of the same!

This was indeed the only disideratum wanted, to make this new contest, the most popular that Britain ever engaged in! Concession after concession, was made to the Americans, to an almost culpable extent, by the British Government; and yet (oh, wonderful modesty!) all would not do! Yield up, said they, your maritime rights; and strike your flag of naval supremacy - and we will remain at peace! What though our ships are chiefly manned by your seamen? Dare but to search and impress - your Canadas shall be conquered! and our "gallant little navy," shall sweep you from evey [sic] sea!!! - This is, in fact, as glorious as it is modest: - Time, however, is frequently the teller of strange stories; and it may therefore come to pass, that instead of renouncing what she has - the acquisitions of England, may be fatal, not only to the American navy - but America, itself.

We congratulate our readers on this important and most welcome intelligence.

COMPILATIONS [centered\
FROM [centered]

The London Papers by the Packet. [centered]

[Transcriber's note: most European news not transcribed.]

On the 28th of January, at a Grand Dinner given at Freemason's Hall, London, to the Earl of Moira, previous to his departure for India; and after the usual toast [sic] were given – the Chairman (the Duke of Sussex) rose, and in an eloquent speech expressed the sense entertained by Mason of the estimable qualities which had distinguished their Acting Grand Master, Lord Moira, and of the esteem and gratitude they felt towards him. He then invested the Noble Earl with a Jewel prepared for the occasion, and presented by the Society of Masons, not as a mere recollection, but to carry with him as a bright star to lead him to glory in India, and a safe return to his admiring Brethren. The jewel, a most brilliant badge, was then paraded round the Lodge, and finally suspended about his Lordship's neck, who was thereupon called to the Chair, and returned his thanks in a speech replete with feeling, energy, and eloquence. He would wear it, he said, as a monitor, sensible of his actions, to invite him to spread the philanthropic and benevolent principles of Masonry over the vast country to which he was going; and concluded by relating a beautiful Asiatic tale, in which a piece of perfumed earth, on being complimented, replies, "Alas! I am but common earth; but, coming in contact with a rose, I have borrowed its sweetness." Even so, he said, he had borrowed the odours of the virtues, with the possession of which they had been pleased to compliment him, from his coming in contact with their society. His gratitude and affection would only cease with the last pulse of life.
