Mr. Printer, Demerary, Nov. 8, 1807.
Sir - It is scarcely necessary for me to say, that I feel the most heartfelt and keen remorse at having so far committed my character as ever to suffer my name to appear in public, connected with that of so universally despised and notorious a pest to society - Martin Doyle. had I been as well acquainted with the vile depravity of his profligate heart, as the whole Colony now appears to b, the wealth of the Indies - nay, no earthly consideration whatever - should have induced me even to be seen in his company. Like the midnight assassin in the garb of a monk, he took advantage of my inexperience and short standing in the colony, and, by his sanctified sophistry and pretended religious deportment, succeeded in making me believe him what I have since found him to be as different from as light from darkness, or heat from cold, viz. an honest man.
The consummate hypocrisy which the atrocious and abandoned wretch then displayed, is only equalled by the impudence and total disregard of truth evinced in the letter which bears his signature, published in your last paper. I shall not attempt to vie with the writer thereof in abuse; the greater part, in my opinion, required no other reasoning than the powerful force of Argumentum Backalinum, and with the administering of that I should have been contented, did I not know that your papers go out of the Colony, and into societies where I am known, but where such a grovelling miscreant as Martin Doyle dare not attempt to show his face. On that account alone, Sir, I think proper to state, that I am ready to prove, at my Domicilium, at any time, the truth of what I have before asserted. There also I am ready and willing to exhibit the Books of the Concern to any respectable Gentlemen, by which it will appear that he is indebted more than f 15,000, while I stand in credit upwards of f 12,000, a balance sheet whereof I had the honour to present to the Hon. V. A. Heyliger, Acting President of the Hon. Court of Justice, before which tribunal he must not flatter himself (by mistaking indulgence for irresolution] that I have given up my intention of bringing him.
Convinced, therefore, that I am duly warranted in so doing, I now finally direct and request that no payments may be made to him, on account of the late Firm of Doyle & Wells, nor did I wish, or offer myself to receive any till the business is determined by the said Hon. Court.
With regret for giving you so much trouble concerning so dastardly and truly unworthy a being, I am, Sir, yours, &c. W. H. Wells.

Mr. James Wollen's Advert. came too late for this week.

This morning arrived the schooner Ant, Capt. Bower, also from Barbados, with C. Waterton and C. Gordon, Esqrs. - No fresh news.

There appears to be very little doubt that the Pyreka boat is taken, but we are happy to state that the enemy has not been equally successful in every instance. In an intended attack on the boat of Mr. R. Cozier, most likely by the same canoe, these modern buccaneers were completely foiled, and with such considerable loss as will we hope put a stop to their depredations, at least for a time. The following are the particulars.
Mr. R. Cozier, accompanied by his two Nephews, Messrs. Yarwood, Ebern, Pollard, Clark, and some more Gentlemen, with Negroes, (making 17 persons in the whole), on retuning to town from his Plantation, had put into Evergreen. On the 31st ult. they sailed thence, but had not been long out of the trench when they discovered the privateer, and observed her, in the twinkling of an eye, to hoist out her canoe. Mr. Cozier was for waiting and giving them battle, being well prepared; but there being sufficient water to return into the trench, it was generally thought most prudent so to do. Here they remained unmolested till the dusk of the evening, when the canoe was again observed to be fast approaching. Everybody being now well armed and prepared, Mr. C. begged them to lay down on the deck while he watched the proper moment of firing with effect. He then waited till the canoe was close abreast of the trench, at not more than 60 yards distance, when, giving the signal, such a volley of musketry was poured in that the Spaniards appeared to be quite thunderstruck, and never attempted to proceed to the attack, nor did they return a single shot till they had got to a considerable distance, when they gave one from their swivel. Mr. C. and his friends kept peppering away at them till they were out of reach of musketry; some of the party then jumped ashore, and gave them a few shot from a pie of cannon there fixed. From the short distance at which the cane was when the first few rounds were fired, and the nature of the charges put in the muskets, every one of which had three balls besides shot, there is no doubt but great execution was done. Mr. C. thinks that at least half her crew must have been killed or wounded, and indeed it seems likely that she was too much damaged to reach the schooner that evening, as the latter vessel was making signals all night, and in the morning she fired a gun.
The conduct of Mr. R. Cozier, and t, and in the morning she fired a gun.
The conduct of Mr. R. Cozier, and do more towards putting a stop to the depredations of these marauders than perhaps any other measures.

H. H. Post, Esq. is the new Kiezer in the room of M. Visser, Esq.
