[No. 353.

TUESDAY, MARCH 12th, 1811.

WHEREAS in the Proclamation, issued on the 9th of February last, by the Hon. P. C. OUCKAMA, in consequence of a Letter from His Excellency the Governor, which renders Mr. J. HUBBARD again perfectly eligible to the holding the Place of Kiezer, or to any representative situation in the colony of Essequebo; it has been stated amongst other reasons, that Mr. J. Hubbard's absence to America, has been a further cause for his not applying before now, and, as the said J. Hubbard has this day represented to His Excellency the Governor, that he has not been in America for these ten years past, I have it in command to state, that this has been inserted by mistake, as the other reasons alledged by Mr. J. Hubbard were quite satisfactory.

The kindness of our friends has enabled us to present our readers with news from Europe of a later date than even that given in our last number; they having handed to us London Papers up to the 88d of January. As their contents are, in many instances, highly interesting, we have made our extracts as copious as possible.

We have likewise received Barbados Papers to the 5th, but their contents are unimportant.

[Transcriber's note: most European news not transcribed.]

It is stated, that there is bounded under the King's locks, at the West India and London Docks, coffee imported at 17d per lb. which would amount to a million and a half sterling, on a reduced price of 6d per lb. at which the proprietors would be glad to sell, but are unable to find any market.
