The Barbados Papers, by these vessels, are to the 13th instant; and, although they communicated no European intelligence, we have been enabled to extract from one of them, American articles of a recent date, and of an interesting nature. We do not find that the Hawk is the bearer of any news.

LOCALITIES. [heading]

The Militia of this Metropolis, and the Inhabitants in general, will doubtless be sensible to the following additional honors, paid to their conduct, during the late blockade of the river - we give them publicity with considerable pleasure and satisfaction:

                        "Demerary, October 21, 1812.
Sir,
I hasten to communicate to you a General Order I have this day received from Head-Quarters confident that the Corps of Militia under your command, will participate with me, in the highly gratifying compliment, proceeding from so respected a source.
The conduct of the Militia upon the occasion, has gained for me, accidentally in the Civil Administration, that honor most highly prized by a Soldier, the approbation of his Commander. To the loyal and patriotic offers of the Commercial Gentlemen and Masters of Ships, my thanks are but the first instance due, for providing the means; and His Excellency the Commander of the Forces, by the annexed Order shews, how highly the merits of the Demerary Militia have been appreciated - who not only offered their voluntary service, but performed it in the most gallant and handsome manner, by going to meet the Enemy who declined the contest, and withdrew from the blockade of the river.
I shall not attempt to add to what I have already expressed, and most warmly felt, by the general spirit evinced through out the whole colony, upon this occasion; and I justly anticipate a favourable result from any future attempts of a similar nature.
I have the honor to be, &c.
H. L. Carmichael,
Major-General.
To Lieut. Col. Otto,
Officer commanding the D. M."

                        Head Quarters, Barbados,
                        10th October, 1812.
General Orders. - Major-General Carmichael, Commanding in Demerary and Berbice, and at the head of the Civil Government of the former colony, having, in his report of the 4th instant, communicated the prompt, judicious, and forceful exertions, by which, from a combination of his military and civil power, an enterprizing enemy has been driven from the blockade of that coast, in a manner highly respectable to all concerned; the Commander of the Forces feels it his duty, in so far as the military department is concerned, to convey his acknowledgements to the Major-General, for the laudable example he has given, of what may be done, even where, from circumstances a Government may unavoidably be left without naval protection.
The Commander of the Forces judges it necessary to explain, that however necessary it may be to adopt and to enforce general resolutions for the purposes of order and economy, in the issue and application of ordnance, arms, ammunition, or stores, in the usual course of service, yet, wherever an Officer in command shall find himself in the presence of an enemy, he is to consider that he is left in the full and free exercise of his own judgment and discretion in the use of every means within his reach for the purposes of defence; and all Officers of departments must immediately obey his orders, whether in conformity to general regulations or otherwise, the responsibility for such orders resting entirely with the Officer in command.
(Signed) S. H. Berkeley,
Dy. A. G.

The Honourable Members of the Court of Policy assemble on Monday.

OUR LAST REPORT. [heading]

BARBADOS. [heading]

Bridge Town, October 6. - The sloop Lydia, of this port, was captured on the 17th ultimo, off Portola, by the Atalanta letter of marque schooner, of Baltimore, Caleb P. Robinson, master; but given up, on condition that the master and crew should not be employed in arms against the United States, during the war, unless regularly exchanged.

So great is the vigilance of the British navy on the Nova Scotia station, that no less than thirteen American privateers, the crews of which amounted to nearly 500 men, had been carried into Halifax previous to the sailing of the schooner Louisa that arrived from thence on Saturday last; the harbour was also crowded with detained merchant vessels, belonging to the States, and a great number had destroyed [sic] by the squadron on the coast. - The Nautilus, late American brig of war, is now called the Young Emulon, and placed under the command of Captain Mulcaster, had sailed on a cruise. The Curlew privateer brig of 16 guns, is to be taken into the service, and with this view they were putting heavier metal on board of her. The Statira frigate is appointed to convoy the vessels that were then assembling at Halifax, for the West Indies, and may be shortly expected.

It is with feelings of disappointment and regret, that we hear of the safe return to New-York, of Commodore Rodgers, and his squadron; for which, however, no blame can be supposed to attach to either the British Commander, or his squadron on that station, as every effort appears to have been tried for its prevention - there being three divisions of frigates (each consisting of three) cruising in every probable direction, as well as one of observation near the coast.

The Tribune frigate, Captain Reynolds, brought in yesterday, the American ship Hope, from the South-seas, having on board from two to three hundred tons of oil and fish - she was taken about eight hundred miles to windward of this island.

His Majesty's ship Belvidera has sent into Halifax a beautiful French brig, with a cargo estimated at 50,000 l. sterling.

October 13 - Upon the authority of information received from Porto Rico, where a vessel had arrived in thirteen days from Philadelphia, we are led to believe that an important change has taken place in the Administration of the States; it being reported that there were a great number of privateers in readiness at different ports, but on making application for Commissions, they were refused, and those already in possession of the necessary documents were compelled to return them. The cause of this sudden transition has not been assigned, but it may not be too much to hazard a conjecture, that it has been produced by a knowledge of the arrival of Sir John B. Warren at Halifax; who, it is said, is invested with full power to act as circumstances may render necessary, should the revocation of the Orders in Council have had no effect in reconciling America.
