On Wednesday the Barton, Capt. Ford, arrived here in 45 Days from Liverpool, she brings no authentic news of any discription [sic]; . . .

The Ships for the Fleet are getting out of the River. The Demerary Brig went over the Bar Yesterday Morning.

Thursday being the Anniversary of his Majesty's Birth, the Demerary Militia turned out and marched to the Fort, (about 12 o'clock,) where the Royals and the 4th West India Regt. were already under arms; when a Feu de joy was three times repeated by the line with three Cheers in honour of the Day, the line was Commanded by Colonel R. Nicholson, who expressed much satisfaction at the appearance and discipline of the Militia. The Weather was very unfavourable, and the ground was a perfect swamp; - at 1 o'clock the firing from the vessels began, and had a very fine effect from the great number of armed vessels at present in the River. The Officers of the Demerary Militia Dined together at the Union Coffee House.

We understand it is the intention of several Gentlemen of the Colony to celebrate His Majesty's Birth-day, on the Corresponding Day in Old Style, which is the 15th Inst. by a Subscription Ball and Supper. There will no doubt be a great Assembly of all the respectable Ladies and Gentlemen of the two Colonies. - That Worthy Character and Public Spirited Gentleman Thomas Cuming, Esq. appears to be the promoter of this Patriotic Entertainment, assisted, we believe, by Messrs.
