Never did we more regret our distance from the mother-country, than at the present moment; for hence it is, the usual interval has past since the publication of our last number, and we are not yet enabled to allay the loyal and affectionate anxiety of the public, either by the announcement of such a change having taken place, as might dead us to expect that our beloved and venerated Monarch will speedily be capable of exercising the royal functions, and tat too with his former energy and wisdom; - or that Heaven has thought proper to remove him from his people, into its own bosom, and change his temporal to an eternal crown! – True it is, that reports on the latter subject have been in circulation, but we hope and believe, that they are mere "airy nothings," to whom busy Invention has given "a local habitation and a name!"

In the circle of those immediately concerned in the trade between Great Britain and America, war with that power is considered inevitable; but for our parts, we think too highly of the wisdom of both governments to entertain for a moment such a belief.

We are happy to announce to our mercantile neighbours, that the Admiral Colpoys, from this port; and the Eliza, and the John Frith, from Berbice, are safe arrived in the River Thames. Also, that the Maria, the Westbury, and the Fame, from this port; and the Mercury, from Berbice, are at Liverpool.

TO A CORRESPONDENT.
AN OBSERVER'S Sketch of the State of Society in Demerary cannot be inserted in the Royal Gazette: - it is well written, but we wish not to offend, or to sow the seeds of party, disaffection, and jealousy, in such a soil.

Barbados, Jan. 22. – From Trinidad we learn, that the Province of Caracas has lately established a form of Government under the appellation of "The Congress of South America," which presents to the Inhabitants of that territory, the prospect of not only being emancipated from the state of ignorance and oppression under which they have so long laboured, but also of giving to that part of the world the blessings of a liberal and well-conducted polity. The first Meeting of this Congress (held on the 2d November last) was attended by two hundred and thirty Representatives, chosen by the common consent of the People, whos dearest interests they are to vindicate and protect; and the most orderly condut was evident throught the proceedings of that sitting. Having apponted a President for the purpose of conducting the business of the Meeting, and, if requisite, to command decorum, the most profound attention prevailed; when, after invoking a blessing on their undertaking, the President addressed them on the nature of their new establishment, which professes the most strict allegiance to their Sovereign, Ferdinand VII, for the better securing of whose rights they have appointed six Deputies, to meet in National Congress.

Lord Liverpool has forwarded a letter of the Governor of Trinidad, informing him of the progress of His Majesty's Government in their considerations on the Petition of the Inhabitants of that Island, for the institution of British Laws, &c. – He concludes,
"Upon the second point. – The introduction of British Laws into the Island of Trinidad – I am not as yet enabled to give you a decided opinion. The subject is necessarily extensive and complicated. It is at this time under the serious consideration of His Majesty's Government, and I hope to be soon able to communicate to you, at large, their sentiments upon it. But I thought it of importance that no time should be lost in conveyeing to you the determination of His Majesty's Government, for the information of the Inhabitants of the Colony, upon the important subject of an Internal Legislature."


By an arrival from Antigua, we understand that Brigadier-General Bonham and Family left that Island in in [sic] the Emma Army ship on the 14th inst. to take the Command of Surinam.

The Command of Antigua, in consequence, devolves again on Major O'Hara, a circumstance pleasing to the Colony, as may be ascertained from the following Extract of a Letter from Governor Elliot, inserted in Brigade Orders previous to the General's departure:-

"No Garrison, I believe, ever possessed more thoroughly the good opinion of the Colony in which it was stationed, and no Commanding Officer ever enjoyed a greater share of the respect and attachment of its principal Inhabitants, than Major O'Hara, from whose civilities and attention to me during my temporary and unprofessional command I am under infinite obligations, and I hope I may, without impropriety, entreat you to communicate to him the expressions of my gratitude."

The Brig-Gen. felt extremely gratified at having it in his power, at so early a period, to insert so handsome a tribute to the merits of Major O'Hara, and the Garrison.

A RECENT
CABINET CONVERSATION
OF
Bonaparte, Jefferson & Madison.

BONAPARTE.
I charge ye both, cat in conformity to my royal will and high intent. I, who have, in the fullness of self-created imperial authority, bestrid the world from the rising to the setting of my imperial luminary, the sun, whose duty I've assigned to be, lighting me to universal empire! I, who have created and deposed kings, emperors, pope,s principalities, and powers! I, who am a second Alexander, all but for the interference of that virulent race, named Britons; who impious, against my will, vauntingly deem the spot they inhabit- invulnerable!
Now hear ye my imperial word! 'Tis the voice of Napoleon the CHASTE! As I live, so have I willed it, - call forth your tryed champions, and your young conscript warriors, to the field – equip your navy, be it composed of calm-fighting gun-boat, invincible frigates, running sloops of war, and depredating privateers.
Inculcate into the minds of your sailors and soldiers, the high-born, religious, moderate, firm, and humane sentiments of NAPOLEON the CHASTE!
I shall forthwith decree, than an imperial fleet shall join and act in conjunction with yours, named, and displaying the royal flag of the Napolean Armada! They will avoid British barking, and, if possible, out-sail the wind!
      With this associated force united, we
      Defiance bid – the tyrant of the sea!!!!
The federal eagle's claw, with my invincible force, shall establish Neapoleon [sic] supremacy on earth!
To effect this desirable end, you must retain Louisianna [sic], subjugate the Floridas, and maintain the uncontrouled navigation of the Mississippi! Also, it will be expedient for you to march a sufficient force of conscripts to Albany, and convey them from thence to Montreal, for the purpose of taking forcible possession of the Canadas. An immediate decree shall issue under my imperial seal, for the reduction of Quebec; whereby we will secure the benefit of its confluence, and the new-acquired possessions in that quarter, placed under imperial protection.
Your States' aversion to royalty shall be done away!! – Kings, princes, dukes, lords, and a long list besides, only shall govern your councils; in which list, I pledge my imperial word, you will be first remembered.
To arms, then, allies and brothers! against a nation we alike detest.

JEFFERSON.
August Sire! long and assiduously have I, in union with my chosen associates, laboured to promote the consular, princely and imperial views of Napoleon the Chaste. Your enemy, Sire, has ever had my hatred, and enjoyed my deception, on every occasion possible for me to exercise the one, and practise the other; nor has it been owing to neglect, that my hopes have been checked, and my plans thwarted.
Your Imperial Greatness is long since acquainted with my heart-chosen motto – "Downfall to England, and rising glory to France."

MADISON.
Imperial Sire! – I greet you in affectionate and perfect consideration; my predecessor's political and religious creeds being one and indivisible with mine, he has sounded in your imperial hearing the firm intention, and inmost feelings of my heart.
I will not toil your royal attention with a rehearsal of the past proceedings of our executive and legislative bodies, or of their future intents; care will be taken that every important item shall reach your royal notice.
Restriction of trade or Congress subsidy, are doctrines which the less understood among us the better, especially as things can be done in a more compact way, reaching the same point in effect, though not in form.
The crops of our citizens last year, were abundant; nor did the trades-people relax in their industry. The current year promises highly to the farming interest; the stores of the United States will be overstocked with the productions of America, and our harbours crowded with idle vessels. The people, naturally restless, will become impetuous by a revival of the non-importation and non-intercourse acts. A fit time to revive these our correspondent edicts, at the same time granting the usual dormant license to the several principles of our united customs.
In pursuance of this quiet refloresence of exports, the decaying product of our fields, would be wasted east, west, north, and south, by our long unimployed craft.
Under the plausible pretence of guarding our self-interdicted waters, your required number of armed craft shall be fitted for sea, their destination to such ports in your imperial dominions as you may direct. These, in concert with such as your royal wisdom may deem proper to annex, may furnish a sufficiency of pilots to conduct the floating treasure of Columbia to your imperial treasury; - a rare subsidy but not an unaccustomed mode of levying. The citizen's minds must be quieted.
To your royal will my hours, my interest shall be devoted; your decrees shall be necessarily explained, and English Orders as necessarily remonstrated against even unto condemnation.
