KING's HOUSE, Stabroek,
this 9th day of January 1811.
THE GOVERNOR having received Official accounts of the decease of Her Royal Highness the Princess AMELIA, his Majesty's youngest Daughter, feels it incumbent upon him to notify this melancholy event - under a perfect conviction that it will be observed by a Public Mourning for One Month, in the manner usually practiced in this country.
By Command,
L. VAN ROSSUM,
Govt. Secty.

Above we have inserted the Official notification of the death of the Princess AMELIA, accompanied by the wish of His Excellency the GOVERNOR that a Public Mourning may take place for one month. We understand that on a similar occasion formerly the point of etiquette was strictly observed in all visits to the Governor, whether of business or ceremony.

By the Sloop Blackbird, arrived on Wednesday, we received Barbados Papers to the 1st Inst. The following Extracts are the chief part of their contens: - [sic]
[Transcriber's note: most European news not transcribed.]

January 1st, 1811. – We have this morning been most obligingly favoured with an American Paper, containing the official document between Lord Wellesley and the American Minister in London (Mr. Pinkney), on the subject of Bonaparte's revoking his Berlin and Milan Decrees; which will be read with pleasure, as they place in its real light, and at one view, the question now at issue between the three Governments: - on the termination of which, be it what it may, no blame can be imputed to Great Britain, the answer of her Minister conveying to America the most explicit avowal of the sentiments she entertains, and in what manner her future proceedings will be governed.

Mr. Pinkney to the Honourable Robert Smith.

"SIR – Lord WELLESLEY sent me, yesterday, his answer to my note of the 25th ult. Respecting the Berlin and Milan Decrees
"I hasten to transmit a copy of it. A copy shall be sent without delay to General Armstrong.
"I have the honour to be, &c.
"W. PINKNEY.
"Hon. Robert Smith, &c. &c. &c.

Mr. President Pinkney's Letter to Lord Wellesley.

            "Great Cumberlansd Place, Aug. 25, 1810.
"MY LORD – I have the honour to state to your Lordship, that I have received from General Armstrong, Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States at Paris, a Letter, bearing date the 6th inst. in which he informs me that the Government of France has revoked the Decrees of Berlin and Milan, and that he has received a written and official notice of that fact in the following words:- 'Je suis autorise a vous declarer, Monsieur, que les Decrets de Berlin et de Milan sont revoquee, et que a dater du ler Novembre ils cesserons d'avoir leur effet.'
"I take for granted that the revocation of the British Orders in Council of January and November, 1807, and April 1809, and of all other Orders dependent upon analogous to, or in execution of them, will follow of course; and I shall hope to be enabled by your Lordship, with as little delay as possible, to announce to my Government that such revocation has taken place.
"I have the honour to be, with high consideration, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient, humble servant,
"W. PINKNEY.
"The Most Noble the Marquis Wellesley, &c."

Lord Wellesley to Mr. Pinkney.

"SIR – I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter under the date of 25th inst.
"On the 23d of February, 1808, His Majesty's Minister in America declared to the Government of the United Sates, 'His Majesty's earnest desire to see the Commerce of the World restored to that freedom which is necessary for its prosperity, and his readiness to abandon the system which had been forced upon him, whenever the enemy should retract the principles which had rendered it necessary,'
"I am commanded by his Majesty to repeat that declaration, and to assure you that whenever the repeal of the French Decrees shall have actually taken effect, and the commerce in which it stood previously to the promulgation of those Decrees, His Majesty will feel the highest satisfaction in relinquishing a system, which the conduct of the enemy compelled him to adopt.
"I have the honour to be, with the highest consideration, Sir, your most obedient and humble servant,
"WELLESLEY."

The following observations on these letters will be found very apposite, and are extracted from the same paper:-

In Mr. Pinkney's Letter of the 25th, he communicated to Lord Wellesley only the naked fact of the revocation of the Decrees, in the original words of the Duke de Cadore, viv. "Je suis," &c. [see the letter], which is thus rendered in English – "I am authorised to declare to you, Sir, that the Decrees of Berlin and Milan are revoked, and that, from the 1st of Novembre they will cease to be in force." – But the Duke adds, with only a comma's pause, "bien entendu," &c. "it being understood, that in consequence of this declaration [i.e. that the Decrees shall cease on the 1st November], the English will revoke their Orders in Council, and renounce the new principles of blockade which they have attempted to establish," &c. If by the last member of the paragraph, Napoleon intends only the principles of blockade which are enforced by the British Orders in Council, then there will be no difficulty on the subject, for Lord Wellesley is very plain and explicit in the declaration, "that whenever the repeal of the French Decrees shall have actually taken effect, His Majesty will feel the highest satisfaction in relinquishing a system (the system enforced by the orders), which the conduct of the enemy compelled him to adopt." Mr. Pinkney's silence on this "bien entendu" of the French Minister renders it probable that he construed the condition of Napolean, as meaning nothing more than the abandonment of the system in the Orders of Council shall be the consequence of the revocation of his Decrees. – But, may it not be asked, did not the Duke of Cadore know that an express provision of those Orders was, that they should be in force no longer than the existence of the French decrees? Perhaps he did not. We shall only add, if good faith is intended, the French Decrees will expire on Thursday next, and on the knowledge of the fact, the British Orders of Council will also. A long repose to their ashes.

On Saturday the Lords of Appeal in Prize Causes affirmed the judgment of Condemnation against four American vessels, captured by His Majesty's ships, for carrying on an illegal traffic in slaves.

The Ship Kelton, from Madeira, came in yesterday, and by her accounts have been received which completely contradict the statement of a battle having taken place on the 24th of November. The Master of the Kelton reports that the day before he left Madeira, (2?th December) a Brig had arrived in four days from Lisbon, which reported that no battle had been fought up to that date, but that the French Army were in full retreat.
