No. I. 18th November, 1807.
To the Printer of the Royal Gazette.
Sir, - I am of opinion that, the dispute created by the American People with the British Government, (should it ever open into actual war) cannot be productive of those inconveniences in the West Indies which continues to be surmised. The Islands and Colonies are the chief market for the productions of the Southern and Middle States. - The Northern States also export to the West Indies the major part of the articles received in exchange for their imports and redundancy of their home Manufactures, supplyed to the aforementioned States, who have no other means of payment than the production of their farms. - A Southern or a Middle State, Trader, or Farmer, urged by a Northern Merchant for the liquidation of a debt only sixty days old; having his stores filled with country produce suited for the West India consumption, would receive the intelligence of an embargo with an ill grace. - The result of their boasted embargo in 1795, directed in consequence of a dislike of the 12th art. of Mr. John Jay's Treaty with England, limiting the Tonnage of American Vessels employed in the West India Trade, will operate strongly against their attempting any similar measure in haste: It was created by native impetuosity, and died by the clamours of an American mob. - The British Ministry, never once interferred. -- As to the dull tale of west India Produce in the U.S. I mean such, as, our Planters usually appropriate for the discharge of contingencies, it is evident the cause does not arise in America, but, from the great increase of our West India property, and the destructive intercourse we have permitted the Americans to carry on with the Islands of our Enemies since the commencement of the present war. - We have purchased their cargoes, paid them in specie, which they have uniformly carried to the enemy and purchased his produce, thereby draining us of our money and vauntingly supplying our foes with the means of carring [sic] on, an energetick war against us. - Admitting Rum, and Molasses to be as requisite for the existence of an American, as Boards, Staves and Shingles, are necessary for the convenience of the West India Planter, yet the species of intercourse here alluded to, not only lessens the demand for our produce, but is also, notoriously productive of every evil I've adverted to.
Zelot.

On Tuesday last the Mail-Boat arrived here with the second September Mail, which brought us our regular setts of London Papers to the 24th. - since which however the Bellisle, Capt. Gemmil, which arrived here on Thursday in 56 days from Port Glasgow, has brought London news to the 7th ult. -

On Sunday evening his Majesty's Brig Demerary, Capt Shephard, arrived in the River when after some necessary repairs to her Fore Top mast, she again sailed Yesterday morning to cruise off the Oronoque.

The Lots No. 55 and 56 on the Arabian Coast, the former having about 60 Acres of bearing Cotton, exclusive of about 80 Acres impoldered, partly cleared, and ready for planting.
The inability of the present Proprietors to continue the Cultivation, caused by a recent misfortune induces them to offer it as a great Bargain, - they are enabled to give good terms and require very little down; an additional advantage which a Purchaser at this time would have, is, there being at present a Crop upon the Trees. The Land is said to be excellent, and is eligibly situated with regard to Pomeroon; the present back-dam being only about 800 Roods from that river. These Lots will be sold either together or separate. Particulars may be had by application to
21st Nov. M. Downie.

[determine placement of the following]

From the London Papers. [heading]

-- Sept. 19. -- [centered]
Some rumours are in circulation unfavourable to the amicable adjustment of our differences with America. Mr. Monroe's intended departure for America has given currency and credit to these rumours, and has made many suppose war with America inevitable. Mr. Monroe's departure, however, is not at all connected with the differences between the two Powers. - It must be recollected, that Mr. Monroe has for some time had a successor to him in this country in the person of Mr. Pinckney. It was natural, therefore, to suppose, that he would not remain long here after his successor's arrival. - He remained longer than he intended, in order to assist Mr. Pinckney in the negociation of the Treaty concluded by the late Ministers. - But Mr. Monroe aspires, we understand, to the Presidency of the United States, and as the period of election is approaching, and it is reported that Mr. Jefferson will not offer himself again, Mr. Monroe is hastening his departure in order to endeavour to secure the object of his ambition. We believe Mr. Monroe has always been a favourite with that party which seems to have the most influence in America at present.

-- Sept. 21 -- [heading]
An American ship, the Independence, Churchill, having 200 slaves on board, with all the crew except the Captain and one mate, was blown up by accident, at Loango, in July.

-- Sept. 28. -- [heading]
Another Decree has been published by the Dutch Government, against the Commerce of this Country. It bears date the 2d instant, and in severity exceeds all former regulations upon the same subject. It interdicts all communication with Holland in terms so precise and positive, as leave no hope of exception or evasion.
We [Star] are informed, and we believe our information is correct, that our Government has resolved to retaliate on France by a Proclamation exactly on the model of the French decree of blockade. Not only the coasts of France and of Italy, but of every European State under the influence and controul of Napoleon - as also all foreign dependencies so circumstanced, will be declared in a state of blockade, and all vessels going to or coming from any of them, will be declared legal prizes. This will settle at once the clamours of the Americans respecting their rights to trade with the French Colonies - carrying, or pretending to carry their produce to an American port, and afterwards to re-ship the same for Bordeaux and other French ports.
We understand that the definitive answer given by Ministers to Mr. Monroe (who has not yet taken his departure) was exactly conformable to the principles that are about to be adopted. Mr. Monroe, it seems, was instructed to declare, that should the British Government refuse to concede the points demanded by America, the Non-Importation Act would immediately be enforced. The reply was, "I am commanded by His Majesty to inform you, that the issue of such an order by the American Government may be considered and held as a declaration of war."
On the points respecting the right of search, Mr. Monroe was informed, that this country will maintain its right not only respecting goods but seamen - not even excepting American ships of war.
