Notice. [heading]
The Subscriber's Domicilium Citandi et Executandi is a [sic] the House of Mr. Downie Esq. Jno. Fraser.
Demerary, 31st October 1807.

Lost from a-stern of the Hulk close to Mr. Heathcote's Stelling a small BATO, flat bottom, 9 feet long, 4 feet 2 inches broad, painted blue inside and red outside. One Joe Reward will be given on her being restored to
Oct. 31st. John Ashley.

We insert the following article at the request of a Subscriber:
Departed this Life on the 26th Instant, the Free Coloured Woman Nancy Rousman, who it is Generally believed Left a large Property, cheifly [sic] Consisting in Cash, which she acquired by honest Industry, during a Long Residence in this Country. Her Remains have been deposited in the Family Vault on Plantation Vlissingen, the Property of her Nephew R. B. Daly Esq.

The First Mail for September arrived here on Sunday night last; - we received our regular setts of Papers by it, . . .

It is with peculiar satisfaction we announce the return of Mr. Hubbard, who was lately captured by the Spanish Launch. It appears now, that the Boat was coming to Town with Sugars, and that she did not go out with an intention of attacking the Spaniards, but only had armed for her own defence; - when the Boat was captured, the 12 Negroes were put in Irons with Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Gordon, Mr. Lynch, and another Gentleman, they however, were released soon after, and put below with the Negroes, after being on board about 24 hours, and only about 2 leagues from the land at the entrance of the Oronoque, the Negroes announced that they could get off their Irons, which was very soon done, when they all rushed upon deck, and not having more than five Spaniards and an Indian to contend with, they quickly recaptured the Boat and arrived with her in Tobago. During the scuffle in retaking the Boat, Mr. Lynch was knocked or thrown overboard, and altho' a hen coop was thrown out for him, dreadful to relate, he sunk before the Boat could come up with him. We understand that Mr. Gordon was left in Tobago, from whence he was to go to Barbados.

The two armed hired Boats that went to look for the Spaniards, have returned, without having seen any thing of them, so that we may now hope to be freed from those enemies for some time at least.

Yesterday morning his Excellency Brigadier-General Montgomerie arrived in Town from Berbice, and this morning Reviewed the Garrison here, in Company with Governor and Colonel Nicholson.

Mr. Goepel's Concert and Ball was numerously attended last night at the Union Coffee House.

Died. - On Thursday Evening last, at his Brothers House in Cumingsburg, Mr. Daniel Treadwell.
