NOTICE.
[heading]
The
Proprietors of the Canal dug from Plantation Thomas to Plantation Cumings-lodge
on the East Sea-Coast of Demerary, having experienced much inconvenience from
the continual passage of strange Negroes along the Canal, who use the Dams as a
public Road and under pretence of cutting Grass have an opportunity of stealing
Plantains and Sugar-Canes and of carrying on an improper trade with the Watch
Negroes, have unanimously authorised the Commissaries of said Canal to adopt
such measures as they shall think fit to prevent for the future the detriment
so occasioned to their respective Properties.
The
Commissaries aforesaid have consequently Resolved that from this day it shall
no longer be allowed for any Slave, not belonging to any of the Plantations
concerned in said Canal, to travel along the same with or without a Pass,
either on the Dams of the Canal or in Boats or Canoes, but that on the contrary
such Slaves, shall be immediately taken up and lodged in the Public Stocks of
Stabroek; there remaining no longer any Public communication between the
several Estates aforesaid but that which the Public Road affords.
And
the better to enforce these Regulations the Proprietors of the Canal are
requested to order their respective Managers to keep a strict Watch along the
same, it being well understood that the said Canal is not a Public thoroughfare
but the private Property of those concerned in it.

5th November 1808.

The
Subscriber being determined to close his Business as a Store-keeper, requests

for Sale his House and Lot in American Street, on easy terms to a good
Purchaser. And on Tuesday the 15th current, will be sold by Public Vendue
without reserve. And on Tuesday the 15th current, will be sold by Public Vendue
without reserve at his store, his whole remaining stock of Goods, together with
several valuable Household Slaves, Furniture, and Books.
Having
been admitted some years ago, a Sworn Land Surveyor in the Colonies of
Essequebo, Demerary, and Berbice, he means to resume the exercise of that
Profession, and offers his services to the Public with an assurance of accurate
plans and correct measurements.

Two
Negro Coopers named Quashey and Mingo, the Property of the Subscriber, were
sent about a fortnight since by an Overseer over the River to Stabroek after
dark, and have not since been heard of; they were in an old Bateau, and as it
was Spring Tide and a very strong Ebb, it is feared they drifted out to Sea and
were upset or run down, as from their known attachment to, and connections in
the Estate, there is very little reason to believe they would Abscond. They
were both young Men about 24 or 25 years of age, very black, and the one
Quashey with rather an aquilline nose and little or nothing of the Negro
Feature. - As the Subscriber is very anxious to ascertain the fate of these
poor fellows, he will be very thankful to any Gentleman who can give him any
information respecting them or the Boat, that may conduce to the knowledge.

The
First Mail for September arrived here on Tuesday last, its contents had been
principally anticipated by a previous arrival, which we laid before our Readers
in our last, but by the arrival of the Ship Duke of Kent, Captain Dougal, in 41
Days from Glasgow, we have been fortunate enough to receive a London Paper of
the 16th of September, which is 6 Days later than those brought by the Mail.
The
Pompee of 80 guns, Captain Cockburn, in 42 Days from Portsmouth, arrived in
Barbados on the 22d ult. and carried in a Prize, the French Imperial Brig of
War Pylades of 18 guns and 105 men, on a cruize 8 days from Martinique.
His
Majesty's Brig Superieur, has captured and brought into Barbados a very fine
French Schooner La Polly, bound to Bourdeaux from Martinique with a very
valuable Cargo.
We
are deeply concerned to state that His Majesty's Brig Maria, has met a
melancholy fate - she fell into the decoy of a large French Vessel formerly of
50 guns but cut down to 26 36-pounders - she discharged her whole broadside at
the Maria, which dismasted her, killed every Officer on board and 47 of her
Crew, she immediately foundered, and only 7 of her crew were saved.
The
Majestic Transport which under Convoy of the York of 74, lately took the Troops
of the 4th West India Regiment from hence, has been destroyed by Fire, it
appears that a Candle had been carried below to see to draw of some Rum, which
from carelessness took Fire and instantly exploded, and notwithstanding the
efforts made by all the men of war boats in the Bay, the flames could not be stopped,
they succeeded in towing her to Sea and by that means prevented the flames from
communicating to the other Vessels in the Bay - although there were upwards of
200 men of the York Rangers on board not one of them was lost. A man and two
boys of the crew were unfortunately suffocated on board, and the mate was so
scorched that he is since dead. - The whole of the Baggage, &c. on board
was lost.
The
second September Mail is arrived in Barbados but we do not learn that its
contents are of much political interest further than what we have already seen.
This account comes by the Porcupine Schooner, - 3 o'clock, P. M.
