The Printer has received various congratulatory Letters this week on the re-appearance, or (as some wicked persons say) on the resurrection of his paper, which do credit as well to the heads as the hearts of the writers, and richly merit publication. Taking into consideration all circumstances, however, he deems it prudent to reserve them; assuring those who have thus honoured him, that their kindness and good intentions in making such communications, will never be effaced from his memory.

The Hon. Col. Nicholson was sworn in as Acting Governor of these Colonies on Monday. We understand that His Excellency has only half the emoluments of the situation, the other half going to Governor Bentinck in England.

His Excellency Governor Nicholson gave dinner to the Hon. Members of the Court of Policy, &c. on Tuesday, on which day the Court broke up. The 26th of October will be the next time of meeting.

The Hon. P. C. Ouckama, Commandeur of Essequebo, issued a Proclamation on the 12th inst. inviting all inhabitants of that Colony who possess 25 or more slaves, to send in their votes, in writing, for the election of two Kiezers and three Financial Representatives; the two vacant places of the former situation are occasioned by the resignation of Wm. Brumell, Esq. and by the departure for Europe of D. Armstrong, Esq.; the votes to be sent to the Commandeur's Secretary's Office, every day, from 8 in the morning till 6 in the evening (Sundays only excepted), and the box to be opened on the 15th of October next. As soon as these elections are made, we shall be able to give a correct list of the Board of Kiezers or Electors of that Colony.

The Hon. H. W. Knolman has, to the peculiar satisfaction of the inhabitants of Essequebo, accepted of his re-election as a member of the Hon. Court of Police for that Colony, and the Hon. James Grant has also accepted of his election as Member of the aforesaid Court of Police.

The Hon. Gt. Timmerman and A. F. Hopken have been re-elected as Members of the Hon. Court of Justice of Essequebo, and it is generally hoped that those Gentlemen will accept of the situation. The Session of that Hon. Court will take place on Tuesday the 6th of October; the indisposition of several Members having prevented their ordinary meeting on the 8th inst.

F. W. Tuckerman, Esq. (the First Exploiteur) has become a member of the Orphan Chamber in Essequebo, vice the Hon. D. Hoola van Nooten, Jun.

The Emma transport arrived yesterday, with some foreigners in British pay to be attached to the Royals, and five additional Musicians for the Band. More troops are shortly expected.

The next Convoy is appointed to sail hence the 19th of October.

The First Quarterly Subscription Ball at Mr. Marshall's Hotel took place, we believe, last Wednesday evening; it was, however, of too select a nature for any account of it to be given in our publick paper.

Died. - On Thursday night last, Mr. Aulay M'Aulay, Blacksmith, a complete master of his business.
