The signal came from Windward.
The Heureux Brig came in here on Monday last, and next Day sailed again in quest of the Two Privateers which are cruizing to windward, one of which is said to be the Grand Decidee of 22 guns: - one of the above Vessels captured the Boat of J. C. McLeod Esqr, with 40 bales of Cotton and Six Negroes, 4 of which they sent on shore, with a Polite note to Mr. McLeod, assuring him that the other two should be returned by the first opportunity, it being necessary to retain them for the purpose of condemning the Prize.
His Majesty's ship Rosaria, is also gone out on a Cruize.

His Excellency the Governor has intimated by a letter to Mr. John Clapham, that an American Vessel has been captured off Berbice, and warns the Merchants, Planters, &c. to be upon their guard in future, as it is presumed that the Privateers, now cruizing to Windward have been fitted out for the capture of Neutral Vessels, in consequence of Bonaparte's late declarations, "that the British Ports and Colonies are in a state of blockade."
