Secretary's Office, March 18, 1815.
Charles Wilday, Sworn Clerk.

The Berbice Mail-Boat, from Barbados, arrived on Thursday; at which island had also arrived, the Packet Queensbury, thirty-eight days from England.

Independent of the Mail-Boat, we have had four arrivals: - the Henrietta, last from Madeira; and the Maria and Grenada, from Barbados.
Also Caledonia from the Oronoque.

The public is already aware of the perilous situation of the Cygnet, and of the Chanticleer's sailing to render assistance; - the former, in consequence of having taken ground, to windward of Berbice; the latter, from an intimation thereof to Capt. Thompson - who, strange as it seems, past twice in his last cruise, without observing the sloop. This is also another proof of the late unexampled haziness of the atmosphere. - In what state the Cygnet was found by the brig, is not yet ascertained; but we fear, almost without hope. She had however, from being eased of her guns and stores, been enabled to float - so well so at least, as to bear pilotting [sic] into the Courentine river. A service, performed by Mr. Ferguson's boat-captain, in a masterly manner.

OBITUARY.- It is with deep regret, founded on his well-known public and private worth, that we announce the departure from this life, of The Honourable Joseph Beet; - a gentleman, who, almost from time immemorial, has directed the POLICY of this community. He also filled other situations in a manner equally satisfactory to the public; and consequently conducive on his own part, to that tranquil state of mind, in which we are told he - died. If indeed, one circumstance more than another, is capable of reconciling a departing spirit, to a separation from the body it so loves, it certainly must be in having spent a life of usefulness - even like that of the venerable colonist we now allude to. - The melancholy event took place at Bath, in England, on the 14th of January, and in the 62d year of his age, after a week's illness.
