As we do not consider the personal invective in the last week's Would-be-Printer's Gazette, to be entitled to any serious notice, we hope our Subscribers will pardon the insertion of the following.
DOWN WITH THE LITTLE ONE,
A FARCE;
As performed last week in the New Town.
Scene - A Printing Office in sad confusion. Enter H. and Assistant M.
[H. in a terrible rage, with a Newspaper in his hand; M. with a more placid countenance, but rather a long face]
H. What "impertinencies!" me no right to the Business! What does he mean? I wonder who he is, and where he came from? Who knows what right he has?
M. My dear Sir, be a little cool. Don't touch upon that subject. You had better not. I'll give it him. I'll pay him in his own coin. You shall see; I have it here already (shewing a piece of manuscript).
H. The little wretch! I'd butt him if he was not so much below my level, so help me God!
M. don' think of that, I beg. Now, Sir, you look at his paper, while I read this answer, and you'll see how I tickle his wig.
H. (reads, and presently exclaims) "Defeat my intended purpose!" There, I told you how it would be.
M. Softly, softly, Sir! Observe how I have him there. I tell him, by way of answer, you see, that "he defeats his own intention." Isn't that good?
H. I wish I may be d-----d. is it isn't.
M. (reads) - "Essequebo and Demerary Gazette established in 1803 by E. J. Henery---"
H. (interrupting) I wouldn't say any thing about that Mr. M. You know I have already been corrected in that particular*.
M. Oh, never mind that, it will shew how very correct he is in his assertions. (Proceeds) "The situation he at present fills is one that we "concieve" [sic] render him an object of our contempt!"
H. Surely-contempt. Yes; he exercises, by legitimate right, that profession to which we are only pretenders - an object of our contempt, therefore, beyond doubt
M. (read) "Did we think it worth our while, we certainly should "tickle his back." There, Sir, do you mind that - that's quoting his own words, you see - that's what I call cutting him close. (Goes on reading) "But that would be putting ourselves too much upon a level with him."
H. Ave: we can't do that.
M. (again reads) "So far as relates to our veracity, we do not hesitate roundly [squiggle symbol] to assert" There's another home touch. He says [break here for footnotes]
* When ths correction took place, Mr. Henery's cause was advocated by a man of sense, genius, education, and wit, whose loss is deplored by all who knew him. If Mr. H.'s claim was so groundless, that it could not be made good with the powerful aid of his reasoning, it is ridiculous to suppose it will now succeed by abuse. With all due deference, we "concieve" that it would have been better for Mr. H. to have taken advantage of the temporary connection this Gentleman honoured him with, and improved himself a little in the spelling-book.
[squiggle symbol] Roundly to assert a thin, is to make an assertion without any foundation or proof. This is no "round assertion" of our's; for the phrase is so used by the most esteemed authors in the English language.
we make bold assertions; I say we make round ones. That's what [illegible] shaving him.
H. True, we never did hesitate roundly to assert any thing.
M. No. So what follows is peculiarly applicable.
H. very good indeed; but don't you think that part about the [illegible] circulation of their paper had better be left out. I don't [illegible] that much; for you know he said that people would always advertise in the paper which has the greatest circulation.
M. Yes,; but, my good Sir, you must put it in italic, and between [illegible] so " ", as he does your words; and then you'll see [illegible] effect.
H. Well, thank you, Sir. But now, suppose this troublesome fellow should answer us. I cannot bear to be harassed in this way; it makes me quite ill; and he is so contemptible.
M. Oh, my dear Sir, don't be alarmed on that account. He can't - Tis impossible - This, Sir, is unanswerable, I assure you: But [illegible] make you quite at ease on that score, I'll tell you what do - [illegible] one of your fists at the beginning; that will do the business, I [illegible] you.
H. That's a d----d good idea. I like that; but can't you do some [illegible] in that way, too.
M. To be sure I can; but I'll touch him in another way; I'll put [illegible] more lines at the end, which will certainly prevent him - "We are determined not to answer any observations of the above nature in [illegible]
H. No more we will, so help me God! (Exeunt omnes.

The Court of Rolls, the Commissary Court of Essequebo and Demerary, and Court of Justice of Essequebo, will meet on Monday the 1st of September next.

The 1st Battalion of the Militia were this morning inspected by his Excellency Lieutenant Governor Bentinck, on the parade-ground, Stabroek. His Excellency, attended by his Aides de-Camp Brown, Meertens, Naghten, and De Vere (Capt. Brandt being engaged in his duty as Adjutant), entered the ground about 7 o'clock, and was received with a general salute, the band of the Royals playing "God save the King." His Excellency then passed close along the lines, after which the different manoeuvres commenced; but the effect of all those relative to marching and countermarching was entirely spoiled by the state of the ground, the rain which fell yesterday having made it a perfect swamp in many places. The word of command was given by Major Macrae, and the firing of those companies, whose officers gave the word of command distinctly, was very tolerable. Before his Excellency took leave, he addressed the Corps in a speech, of which the following is, we believe, a pretty correct outline, but, as we only speak from memory, we cannot pretend to give it exactly:
I return you my thanks, Gentlemen, for the attendance here to day, although, I am sorry to say, it is not yet quite so numerous as I could wish. As there is reason to expect the enemy in this quarter, I have thought it my duty, as the representative of his Majesty, to call you together, to appear among you, and to inform you, that it is my fixed determination to defend the Colonies to the utmost. In the event of such a thing happening, I shall give every aid to the General commanding the regular forces; I expect your assistance, and trust I shall not be disappointed. All idle distinctions about voluntary service are now done away; every man who has taken the oath of allegiance must therefore do his duty, and I feel confident we shall be able to defend the country against all attempts of the enemy, let them come whenever they will.
We understand that a regulation has taken place respecting the fines for non-attendance of Officers, whereby defaulters, in the first place, are to pay two joes, and, in every succeeding instance, the fine to be doubled.
A Beacon is about to be erected on the East Coast of this Colony; the expences of which are to be defrayed by a duty of six stuivers per ton on every merchant vessel arriving here after the 1st of December next. And further, every such merchant vessel, which shall be of more than 100 tons burthen, and coming from the Mother country, must bring five tons of Gravel Ballast for each fifty tons of their burthen; in default of which they are to pay, besides the above-mentioned rate, a sum of five guilders for every ton of such Ballast which they may be deficient in.

Vessels Entered and Cleared Since Our Last.
