On Tuesday last, we completed the 6th volume of the Royal Gazette; and, if we may judge the public approbation it has excited, by the continuation of most of the old subscribers, and the executive acquisition of new ones we have made, all that need be said is, that the highest objects of our ambition are attained - and we return our thanks. On this day we commence, volume the seventh; and we hope and trust, its fate will be similar to its predecessor. For the greater security of which desire and gratifying result, we entertain the hope of being able to have endowed this our first number of a new series with those novel arrangements we have long meditated, and by which our friends would have been presented with a publication, possessing a deeper interest, and a more respectable appearance than those hitherto issued; but the arrival from England having not yet taken place, by which we expect the materials, our intentions have not been practicable.
Where all are friends, it would be improper to be personal in an offering of gratitude, but we cannot omit the opportunity of entreating, form those gentlemen whose kindness we have experienced so often, in regard to the spontaneous loan of foreign papers, and extracts from private letters - a continuation of the same.

St. George's Church. [heading]

The following Address was presented to several of the Coloured People, by the Reverend W. G. Straghan, at a meeting, numerously attended, on the 1st of September last, and met with very great satisfaction; but, as different opinions seem to have been entertained on the subject by some persons, we are requested to give it a more extensive circulation, through the medium of our Gazette - and, at the same time, to inform the People of Colour, that there is a sufficiency of room in St. George's Church, for the accommodation of a great number of persons independent of the pews, along the isles [sic] and in the gallery.

The Chichester Packet, bearing the November Mail arrived on Wednesday; but the London Papers received by her being only to the 20th of that month, of course we have no intelligence of importance from that quarter, to present our readers. The Packet, however, is last from Lisbon and the Captain (who is no other than the brave and [illegible]
[illegible], who so gallantly defended the Windsor [illegible]
Packet, some time ago,) reports that the wounded in [illegible]
Hill's victory, were continually arriving, and that the fugitive, but wounded General G[illegible] - is dead.

The Packet will sail on Wednesday next.

The Schooner Good Intent, Capt. Strickland, also arrived on Thursday, from Barbados, and has brought Papers of that Island to the 24th ult. but their contents are not of much interest, if we except the exhibited disposition prevalent in all the neighbouring Island, to lay their grievances and distresses, in consequence of the unfavourableness of the times, at the feet of the British Parliament.

An application was some time since made to the British Board of Trade, on the expediency of permitting American vessels to enter the ports of St. Andrews, St. John, New Brunswick, and Halifax, in Nova Scotia, [illegible] in those harbours British goods, under the singular difficulties to which British commerce was exposed by the laws of nonimportation passed by Congress. The Board having had the subject under its consideration during two months, has at length acceeded to the proposition, and have informed the merchants with whom the business originated, that orders would be transmitted to the Governors and proper officers at the place designated, to allow any British manufactured articles, or West India colonial produce to be exported from hence to the United States, and further to admit such American vessels to import into those harbours from [illegible] in the Republic, "wheat and grain of every description, bread, biscuit, and flour, pitch, tar, and turpentine, the produce of the United States."
