The Undersigned offers for Sale on reasonable terms, a complete Wind Saw Mill, with about 100 Saws, and able to carry 25 or 30 of them, situate on Fort Island, Essequebo. Said Mill is offered for Sale in consequence of its standing in a situation where generally very little or no wind can reach it, which occasions its not producing the desired effect; - Whereas if it is placed opposite the Town of Stabroek, on the West side of the River, or any other convenient place, where there is sufficient Wind, and Timber can moreover be easily conveyed, the same would produce a very considerable Revenue.
For further particulars please to apply to Messrs. De Munnick's in Stabroek, or to
F. W. Ruperti.
Fort Island, 1st October 1808.

The second July Mail arrived here on Sunday last on board His Majesty's Brig Demerary, its principal contents have already been given in our Paper of last week.

On the same day the Transport ship Majestick arrived here - and on Monday and Tuesday the whole of the Black Corps in this Colony were embarked for Barbados, and sailed on Wednesday afternoon. His Majesty's Ship Captain, of 74 guns, Captain Wolley, was laying out side the Bar and is to convoy the Majestick. - It is rumoured that an Expedition is going against Cayenne, and the Coloured Corps is to be employed in it.

The first August Mail is arrived in Barbados, and it is much to be feared that some thing has happened to the Mail-Boat, as she was seen coming out of Carlisle Bay, the same day that the Captain and Majestick left it; - by what we understand its contents are not particularly interesting, further, than that the Spaniards and Portuguese continue to gain daily advantages over the Enemy, and that Great Britain is doing every thing in her power to grant them assistance.

Died] - On Tuesday last, after a very short illness, Mr. A. De Boer.
The same day Mr. J. C. Placide.
