By the arrival (in Berbice) of the Jane, Capt. Winder, in 29 days from Liverpool, we have been put in possession of a London Paper of the 17th ult:- from which we have made the following extracts:-
LONDON, April 17. [centered]
Dutch Papers have been received to the 2d inst. - They furnish a statement of the Finances of the Dutch which convey a melancholy impression of the situation of that unfortunate country. By way of consolation the people are told, that Bonaparte has given assurances, that in the event of Peace with England, he means to stipulate for the restoration of the Dutch Colonies, particularly that of Guiana. It is hardly possible, that such vague and distant calculations can be of any avail in reconciling the poor Dutch, to a contented endurance of their present misfortunes.

Dispatches have been received from the Brazils. The Portuguese sloop of war La Lebre, arrived off Lisbon, with dispatches from the Prince Regent, to the Provisional Government, which the Captain did not land, on being informed by the Admiral that the French were in possession of the country; the commercial mails were sent into Lisbon by a fishing-boat; and La Lebre stood out to sea. The Prince Regent had a remarkable fine passage of 39 days, and landed at Rio Janeiro with the other branches of the Royal Family, on the 8th of January, amidst the acclamations of his faithful subjects.

The following articles are extracted from the Berbice Paper of last Saturday, the intelligence they contain was brought by the Jane:-
"New Amsterdam, 21st May, 1808. [centered]
[Transcriber's note: items not transcribed - European news]

We are concerned to state that a serious combination of the Negroes of several Estates to Windward, has been discovered, several have been apprehended and lodged in the Barracks, but the active steps already taken for the suppression of their plans will, no doubt, prove effectual.

Yesterday the Brig Betsey, from Belfast, arrived here in 40 Days.

By a private letter we learn that the following were the Prices of Produce at New York on the 7th of April: -
Sugar (best quality) at 10 dollars per cwt.
Molases at 50 cts. per gallon.
Rum at 75 cts. per gallon.
