A CONCERT AND BALL, [heading]
AT THE UNION COFFEE HOUSE, [heading]

MR. GOEPEPL; [heading]
At which Mr. MARKORDT will attend. [heading]
Madam Tappray, having politely accepted the invitation to assist, will perform a Sonata on the Harp, composed by Krompfoltz, in which will be introduced the favourite air - "Hope told a flatt'ring Tale," accompanied by the violin and Violoncello.
It is presumed that the public invitation to all Amateurs, in the last week's paper, will be deemed sufficient, as it is impossible to pay them personal attention; and the present attempt being more for the general amusement of Lovers of Music than for any particular motives precludes the necessity of privately soliciting any further patronage than that already obtained.

To the Editor of the Essequebo and Demerary Gazette. [heading]
Sir,
A Gentleman who signs himself F. [Latin poetry - add initial F to this] in your last paper tells us to repart with a Latin poem –
"Ossa quitea precor! Tuta requiescant in urna!"
I wish you could inform us who that Latin poet was. If Mr. F. should say that Virgil had risen from the tomb, I would much sooner believe him than that ever a latin poet concluded an hexameter verse with quiescant in urna. let the Gentleman examine every Latin poetic production from the rise of Latin poetry to the fall of the Roman Empire; and, if he can produce one Hexameter ending in Requiescant in Urna, I will make ample apology for my criticism.
Sept. 28, 1807. A Subscriber.

List of Runaway and Arrested Slaves [not transcribed]

Vessels Entered and Cleared Since Our Last.

ENTERED.
Sept. 30. Ship Admiral Colpoys, Rich. Coley, from Barbados, with 293 Slaves, &c.

CLEARED.
Sept. 28. Schooner Ocean, Wm. Appleton, for St. Thomas.
Oct. 1. Brig Elizabeth, Chs. Shepard, for do.

The Printer requests that those Gentlemen who have not yet found an opportunity of paying their Subscription Money, will endeavour to do so without delay. It is matter of great consequence to him, and from the smallness of the sum, cannot possibly be of any material import to them.

The Master of the American brig Venus who arrived at Barbados the 16th ult. reported, that on the Saturday preceding, viz. the 12th, he fell to with two French privateers Jeune Adelle and Fripon, 250 miles to windward of Barbados, cruising in consort; that they boarded him and informed him, they had on the 2d ult. after a sharp contest of four hours, captured a British brig packet from Falmouth, and sent her to Cayenne.

Hopes are still indulged by some, that this account may not be true; for the packet, at the stated time of her capture, could only have been 22 days out, and, being then within 2 days sail of Barbados, must have had an unusually quick passage at this season of the year. We are afraid, however, it will prove to true.

The public expectation was kept on the tip toe for some time yesterday by the appearance of three vessels, two of which were at first sight pronounced to be from England. They turned out, however, to be his Majesty's brig Netley, Capt. Burnham, with the Transport No. 238, from Antigua, and the American brig Sally, from New London, after 50 days passage. In lat. 9, the latter was boarded by a French vessel of 18 guns, from Cayenne; but, after having her papers overhauled, she was permitted to proceed.

The two American vessels lately seized here by Capt. Malbon, who proceeded with their papers to Barbados, will, it is said, wait to be condemned by a Court of Admiralty which the Government has determined to have held in this Colony; the Members of which are supposed to have been in the first August packet, believed to be taken.

Thos. Withered, Esq. has been appointed Commissary General pro tempore, in consequence of the indisposition of S. Chollet, Esq.

In the last list of Army Promotions are the following:
Major Henry B. Dolphin, from 4th W.I. Reg. to be Lieutenant Colonel of the 6th W.I. Reg. vice Carter, dec.
Capt. F. S. Tidy, from the Royals, to be Major of the 8th W.I. Reg. vice Baillie, dec.
Lieut. J. Rowan, from 64th Foot, to be Captain in the Royals, vice Tidey promoted.

TO THE EDITOR, [heading]
Sir, Demerary, Oct. 1, 1807.
Having had the opportunity to read the Funeral Oration of the Rev. G. Ryk, D.D. on the Decease of his Son, I found it to bear so many marks of sensibility in the author as a Man, Divine, and Father, that I thought it might possibly be agreeable to the British Inhabitants of these Colonies to present them with a Translation. I have therefore endeavoured, with my feeble talents, to come as near to the Eloquent Orator as possible; but am apprehensive I may have been too confident. If you should, notwithstanding, think it merits a place in your paper, you will oblige, by inserting it,
Your humble servant, F.
FUNERAL ORATION. [heading]
Almighty God! fortify the broken-hearted Father in this awful moment!
I offer thee here, with a deep, feeling, but to they Will respectfully-resigned, heart, the beloved victim which thou, O impenetrable, dost require.
I thank thee! - in this child thou didst give me a child of joy! Never he afflicted me - never was he disobedient - but always, with a calm and lenient soul, faithful to his duties.
Thine were those innumerable pleasures, which, from his first innocent, guiltless smile in his cradle till his last sorrowful illness, I did enjoy in and by him! Seventeen years of happiness for a few bitter, painful days! - No I will not murmur.
May the tears of an afflicted Father not offend thy wisdom - they goodness! Thou, Omniscient, didst perhaps, before the days of misfortune, call him to everlasting rest - to Thee - where he will be happy and blessed.
Thou didst declare, Father of Truth, "Honour thy Father and thy Mother! that thy days may be long in the land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee." He was obedient, Most Righteous Judge of the World! Once before thy throne, I repeat, O Lord God! - Ever has my child honoured his Father - His Mother.
The happy consequences of thy promise he did not enjoy! His life was cut off, even as the early opening flower is prematurely destroyed by the blasts of the storm!
May that abode where thy Word never can fail, be more better, more durable, more happy for him! This I do hope; in this I confide. Thus let me in silence respect and adore thy will, sincerely convinced of the truth of thy promises.
My Son! my dearly beloved Son! Thou never wilt return to me! but at one time I shall come to thee! In the regions of eternity - the abode of quiet and happiness - we shall met again. Thou are safe; no sorrows, no sufferings embitter thy destiny there. Thou hast risen infinitely above all pains. No parental malediction, no curse of any wantonly offended being, will lie heavy on they soul! How consoling to me is this idea!
Let those who were acquainted with thee pour blessings on thy memory! At one time I and every one of us must follow thee. An irresistible power each day compels us to approach nearer and nearer to Death, and, sooner or later, we must fall his victims. Oh! may no one, at that period, suffer the torments which thou, now more happy youth, hast supported and conquered!
Sympathising Friends! and, more so, you who are Parents! do not condemn my weakness in this instance! I solemnly declare, in the deepness of my grief, at the grave of my beloved Son, that the comforts of our Holy Religion can, even in the most painful situations, relieve us, though they cannot annihilate the feelings of nature!
The Good, the Almighty God! grant us a conviction of these truths at the hour of death! O Lord of Heaven and Earth, vouchsafe unto us, that when the nightly shade of Death shall cover us, we may, with the confident expectations of true Christians, behold, through the darkness, the soul-reviving beams of daybreak of the glorious morning of Eternity! Then, O God of Mercy, shall thy unbounded love unite us to the dear objects, of whom they impenetrable wisdom hath deprived our hearts in this abode of probation! - Amen!
