Jno. Crossman.
Demerary, 23d June 1810. Executor.

At a Meeting of the Proprietors of the Town of Cumingsburg, convened at Marsh's Coffee House on the 15th inst. by public advertisement.
Thomas Mewburn, Esq. was voted in the Chair,
Which having taken, the Commissaries exhibited their accounts; by which it appeared that the Town did not owe to the amount of five hundred guilders, and that there was near three thousand guilders cash balance in hand; that the Colony had already been paid all the monies collected on account of the Mud Lots; and that a sufficient sum was yet due from them to pay the balance, the said accounts having been approved of, the Commissaries resigned, when the thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted them for their trouble and attention to the general interest of the Town.
The Meeting then proceeded to the election of Commissaries for the ensuing year, when the following Gentlemen were chosen.
Messrs. Robert Phipps,
Evan Fraser, and
Charles Playter.
Mr. Phipps then proposed the following Resolution
"That the Commissaries be authorised to brick the road
"from the canal bridge near the barracks to the corner
"of Mr. Van Berckel's, for a sum not exceeding thirty
"guilders per rood; that they shall make use of the
"monies they may recover from the old suits, as far as
"that may go, for the payment of the same; but that if
"there should be a deficiency they shall be permitted to
"make use of the general funds of the Town to supply
"such deficiency."
Mr. Naghten opposed this motion, but proposed as an ammendment, "That the Commissaries be authorised
"to brick the said road, provided they only make use of
"the monies to be collected from the old suits; but that the Town do not consent to their making use of any part of the general funds of the Town for that purpose."
The amendment was seconded by Mr. Smith, and a division would have taken place, but in consequence of a discussion relative to the mode of voting, the motion was withdrawn and postponed till a future meeting.
Mr. Phipps then proposed "That an annual Tax be
"levied for the purpose of cleaning the draining trench-
"es, &c. and forming a fund for the general benefit of
"the Town, as follows: -
"On the Proprietors of Lots from lot No. 1 to 77 "inclusive, 3 Joes per lot per annum.
"From lot 78 to lot 245, do. 2 Joes p. lot p. do.
"From lot 246 to lot 301, do. 10 dollars, p. lot p. do.
"From lot 302 to lot 357, do. 6 do. p. lot p. do.
The said Tax was unanimously agreed to, and the Commissaries were requested to apply to the Hon. the Court of Policy, at their next sitting, to sanction the said Tax, as well as their appointment as Commissaries, and to cause it to be collected as speedily as possible. The Commissaries, were then requested to cause every exertion to be made by due course of law, to recover all the sums yet due from individuals for the last tax, as well as from the mud lots.
The Meeting then adjourned.
Thos. Mewburn,
Demerary, June 16th 1810. Chairman.

The Subscriber will thank those who owe him by open Accounts or Notes, to come forward with payment, otherwise he will be under the necessity of putting such Claims unsettled in the hands of his Attorney at Law for recovery without exception to Person or Persons.

We have had no arrival from Europe since our last. The report of the Ann Mackenzie being off the Bar on Tuesday last, proves to be erroneous. - She is now said to have arrived at Berbice.

We have inserted the Commercial Intercourse Act passed by Congress on the first of May; the day on which Congress adjourned, to the first Monday in December. This intelligence was brought by the Schooner Favorite, Capt. Cooley on Tuesday last, a short time after our Paper had gone to Press; - by her we received twelve Papers, their contents are not very interesting, they consist chiefly of the old Cuckoo song of Democrat and Federalist, &c. &c.

Vessels Entered and Cleared since our last.

ENTERED.
June 21 Schr. Sir James Cockburn, Capt. Devylder, from Martinique, Lavender water & salt.

On the departure of Dr. John Chapman,
who left this in the Caledonia, for Liverpool,
June 21st, 1810.

Chapman, my dear, my much lov'd friend, farewell! -
But who, the anguish of my soul, can tell?
You go, by strong affection bound, you go,
To soften sorrow, and to sooth from woe;
A much lov'd Wife, and many Children dear,
Demands thy presence, and thy tender care;
For fell disease, assails the Mother's life,
And death, too soon, must end the fatal strife; -
To these you go, and Oh! may gentle gales,
Propitious swell the wide expanding sails;
May no rude gust impede thy passing way,
But, God's great mercies, crown your ev'ry day.
Oh may your presence, cast the doubtful strife,
And health returning, give you all - your Wife! -
For me, my friend, alas, what hope is left,
Of thee, thy converse, and thy skill bereft? -
Who now will listen to my hopes and fears,
And kindly sooth, direct, or still my cares? -
Assist my reason, teach my mind to trace,
Obscure disease, and catch its hydra face? -
In humble guise, assimilate my mind,
And, by thine acts of kindness, learn me to be kind?
