It was the intention of the Printer to have fully acquainted the Public with the cause of his Paper not being published the two last weeks, but the same appears to be sufficiently explained by the following "Apology for his late Indiscretion," which he is bound by the Government to publish, as the condition on which atone he could be permitted to proceed, and which he accordingly printed verbatim, as he received the manuscript from the Government Secretary.

"Being perfectly sensible of having justly merited the censure of His Excellency Brigadier General Montgomerie, Acting Governor, by publishing in the Essequebo and Demerary Gazette paragraphs which tended to injure the feelings of individuals in the community, contrary to his wish and strict injunctions and feeling the highest sense of gratitude for his Excellency's goodness in pardoning my indiscretions - I hereby solemnly pledge myself not to print or publish any paragraph
in future which can give his Excellency, or I hope any other person in the community, offence.
Signed T. Bond"

The Printer begs, of himself, to offer his warmest and most heartfelt acknowledgments to those numerous Gentlemen who tendered him their assistance in the hour of need. It will ever afford him consolation, and be his pride and satisfaction, to reflect on their friendly conduct, and he hopes they will do him the justice to believe, that he is equally impressed with a sense of their intended kindness, as if he had been compelled to profit by its application.

It is with feelings of the greatest pleasure, considerably heightened by the knowledge that the communication will be equally grateful to the Public at large, that we inform our readers - the Hon. Col. Nicholson is appointed Acting Governor of these Colonies, and will commence the duties of that high office on Monday next.

Not being certain that we should be allowed again to issue our paper till yesterday, it has not been in our power to give such a paper as we could have wished this day.

The 2nd July packet arrived here yesterday; she brought no later news than the above. ['the above' not transcribed - European news]

The James mail-boat, Capt. Hunter, which was conveying the 1st July mail here from Barbados, was taken on the 24th ult. off this coast, by the Jeune Adelle privateer, of 12 guns and 118 men. Capt. Hunter had the precaution to throw the mails over, and, passing himself for a passenger, was, with several on board, sent in an American ship, which the privateer spoke, to Surinam, whence he has since arrived at Barbados.

The schooner Birchall, Tynes, Master, from Barbados to Surinam, was also taken by the same privateer, and another in company, on the 10th ult. off the Corentyn, and sent into Martinique.

The Danish schooner Betsey, from Barbados to Berbice, has been detained and sent into Guadaloupe. The passengers were permitted to go to Surinam.

The Hon. Court of Policy will meet again on Monday.

Essequebo Sportsman. - A Gentleman who, though generally known in these colonies, is perhaps better so by his quickness of fingering than of sight, a few days since went to amuse himself with the joys of the chase, and, anticipating much sport, chose Tyger Island for the display of his prowess in the execution of this art. He had not advanced many roods, when dame Fortune popped a tempting shot in his way - a fine flock of Ducks! No sooner had the negro who accompanied him made gestures indicative of approaching game, than up soared the feather brood - bang went the gun - and down dropped a suppliant Duck; but - oh, most glorious shot" - it was a tame one.

Died - On the 1st ult. at Antigua, his Excellency Lord Lavington, K. B. Governor of that island and dependencies.
On the 19th ultimo, at Strik en Heuvel (the estate of his brother the Hon. F. C. Loncke), Engel Loncke, Esq. Attorney at law of the Courts of Essequebo and Demerary. His remains were sent to Essequebo to be interred.
The 20th ult. on his Estate up the East Coast, called the Vigilance, Wm. Ord, Esq. M.D.
The 27th ultimo, in Stabroek, John Lescure, son-in-law of Louis Desaulles, Esq.
The 31st ult. at Berbice, aged 25, the Hon. Nicholas Westrick, member of the Hon. Court of Justice there.
The 2d instant, at the early age of 16 years, Gabriel Ryk, son of the Rev. G. Ryk. A very pathetic oration was pronounced over him by his father at his funeral.
The 4th instant, much lamented, Mrs. Whiston, wife of Capt. Whiston.
On Thursday morning last, at Plantation Haslinton much regretted Mrs. Burrows, wife of [?. - I. or T.] Burrows, of Plantation Ruby.
