On commencing a new Year, under new circumstances, and with new hopes of success, we cannot allow this paper to go forth, without endeavouring to express our grateful sense of old favours, and heartily wishing all our Subscribers, both old and new, according to the old English phrase, "many - many happy returns of the season."
One twelvemonth only has elapsed, since the conduct of this paper was entrusted to the care of its present proprietors; and it has succeeded, notwithstanding the disadvantageous circumstances under which it at first laboured, beyond the most sanguine expectations. The Printers do not mean by this assertion to arrogate any extraordinary merit. It is only mentioned as a proof of the generally liberal encouragement afforded; to shew that they are not insensible of the numerous obligations conferred by the enlightened part of the community; and as a pledge that no expence or labour will in future be spared to render this paper deserving of a continuance of that countenance and support which it has already so bountifully received.
To our Advertising Friends we further beg leave to observe, that, exclusive of upwards of 30 papers, which are circulated in Berbice, and those up the River and in Essequebo, amounting to nearly the same number, we have now established a regular communication up the Coast; so that there is scarcely a plantation between this and Mahaiconi, where our paper will not be seen on the Sunday. The [illegible] advantages resulting to Merchant and others advertising, as well as to ourselves, from this arrangement, are too obvious to need any elucidation.

On Monday last a Meeting was held at Mr. Campbell's Tavern, to consider of the consequences likely to result to these Colonies from the alterations made in the intercourse with America by the late Proclamation, when several respectable Planters and Merchants attended, and it was agreed to petition His Excellency the Governor for an Extension of Time for the Exportation of Sugar and Importation of Beef and Pork, as well as of Pitch and Tar, till the situation of the Colony could be represented at home. A Petition to this effect was accordingly draw up, and approved of; one copy of which was left for signature at Mr. Campbell's, and others were sent to different quarters of the Colony for the same purpose. The Petition is to be presented to His Excellency on Wednesday next, the 7th inst.

Bush Negroes. - It gives us pleasure to have to state that thirteen of these misguided people came in on Tuesday, under the amnesty which we understand was promised them by His Excellency the governor. The following is, we believe, a correct list of the owners, to whom they have been restored:
Three (2 men and 1 woman) belonging to R. B. Daly, Esq. One of these men, a creole, was formerly a driver, and, during his absence, had been created by his brethren in iniquity a King or Chief of what they call their camp. Yet even this man, though invested with such lordly power, and of course enjoying whatever luxuries his subjects could afford, preferred to return under the dominion of his legal master, on being assured by his maty, who had been sent for the purpose, that his forfeited life would be spared. His influence with the others, however, in point of reasoning, did not extend so far as could have been wished.
Three (1 man and 2 women) belonging to Plantation Ruimveldt,
One (a man) belonging to Mr. King.
One (a woman) belonging to Miss Betsey Hemens.
One (a man) belonging to Plantation Providence.
One (a woman with her female child born in the Bush) belonging to Plantation Velzerhoofd.
One (a man) belonging to M. Smit, Esq.
One (a man) belonging to Doctor Cramer.
One (a man) not owned, who says he belongs to the foreground of Werk & Rust.
Making the whole 8 men and 5 women.
Eighteen more, we understand, are remainder of these deluded wretches (among whom, it is said, those of Plantation Providence are the worst) should persist in their obstinacy, there is no doubt such effectual measures will be taken as will make them bitterly repent the day when they rejected the proffered clemency.

The Fourteen Days Rolls and Commissary Court in Essequebo and Demerary, and Court of Justice in Essequebo, will meet on Monday.

On Sunday last died, at the house of Baron Von Firks, Miss Johanna Alfrida Gertruda Lossner. The fate of this young lady is singularly distressing. She had been betrothed to the Baron, as may have been observed in our late papers; but shortly afterwards, or we believe on the very day, she was suddenly taken ill, and, in spite of all the art of medicine, expired as above stated.

On Friday died, after a lingering and painful illness, Dr. Wm. Allanby.

The brig Lark, Morrill, from Saco for Demerary, having lost both topmasts and main boom in a gale, bore away from Barbados.
