NOTICE. [heading]
The Proprietors of the Canal dug from Plantation Thomas to Plantation Cumings-lodge on the East Sea-Coast of Demerary, having experienced much inconvenience from the continual passage of strange Negroes along the Canal, who use the Dams as a public Road and under pretence of cutting Grass have an opportunity of stealing Plantains and Sugar-Canes and of carrying on an improper trade with the Watch Negroes, have unanimously authorised the Commissaries of said Canal to adopt such measures as they shall think fit to prevent for the future the detriment so occasioned to their respective Properties.
The Commissaries aforesaid have consequently Resolved that from this day it shall no longer be allowed for any Slave, not belonging to any of the Plantations concerned in said Canal, to travel along the same with or without a Pass, either on the Dams of the Canal or in Boats or Canoes, but that on the contrary such Slaves, shall be immediately taken up and lodged in the Public Stocks of Stabroek; there remaining no longer any Public communication between the several Estates aforesaid but that which the Public Road affords.
And the better to enforce these Regulations the Proprietors of the Canal are requested to order their respective Managers to keep a strict Watch along the same, it being well understood that the said Canal is not a Public thoroughfare but the private Property of those concerned in it.
Demerary, 5th November 1808.

Demerary, 5th November, 1808.

Two Negro Coopers named Quashey and Mingo, the Property of the Subscriber, were sent about a fortnight since by an Overseer over the River to Stabroek after dark, and have not since been heard of; they were in an old Bateau, and as it was Spring Tide and a very strong Ebb, it is feared they drifted out to Sea and were upset or run down, as from their known attachment to, and connections in the Estate, there is very little reason to believe they would Abscond. They were both young Men about 24 or 25 years of age, very black, and the one Quashey with rather an aquilline nose and little or nothing of the Negro Feature. - As the Subscriber is very anxious to ascertain the fate of these poor fellows, he will be very thankful to any Gentleman who can give him any information respecting them or the Boat, that may conduce to the knowledge.
Joseph Beete.

The First Mail for September arrived here on Tuesday last, its contents had been principally anticipated by a previous arrival, which we laid before our Readers in our last, but by the arrival of the Ship Duke of Kent, Captain Dougal, in 41 Days from Glasgow, we have been fortunate enough to receive a London Paper of the 16th of September, which is 6 Days later than those brought by the Mail.

The Pompee of 80 guns, Captain Cockburn, in 42 Days from Portsmouth, arrived in Barbados on the 22d ult. and carried in a Prize, the French Imperial Brig of War Pylades of 18 guns and 105 men, on a cruize 8 days from Martinique.

His Majesty's Brig Superieur, has captured and brought into Barbados a very fine French Schooner La Polly, bound to Bourdeaux from Martinique with a very valuable Cargo.

We are deeply concerned to state that His Majesty's Brig Maria, has met a melancholy fate - she fell into the decoy of a large French Vessel formerly of 50 guns but cut down to 26 36-pounders - she discharged her whole broadside at the Maria, which dismasted her, killed every Officer on board and 47 of her Crew, she immediately foundered, and only 7 of her crew were saved.

The Majestic Transport which under Convoy of the York of 74, lately took the Troops of the 4th West India Regiment from hence, has been destroyed by Fire, it appears that a Candle had been carried below to see to draw of some Rum, which from carelessness took Fire and instantly exploded, and notwithstanding the efforts made by all the men of war boats in the Bay, the flames could not be stopped, they succeeded in towing her to Sea and by that means prevented the flames from communicating to the other Vessels in the Bay - although there were upwards of 200 men of the York Rangers on board not one of them was lost. A man and two boys of the crew were unfortunately suffocated on board, and the mate was so scorched that he is since dead. - The whole of the Baggage, &c. on board was lost.

The second September Mail is arrived in Barbados but we do not learn that its contents are of much political interest further than what we have already seen. This account comes by the Porcupine Schooner, - 3 o'clock, P. M.
