March 20, 1813. [centered]
HIS Excellency the Acting-Governor having this day received a further representation from Major Firebrace, respecting an Act of insubordination of a Non-Commissioned Officer of the Third Battalion Demerary Militia; and as the charges, substantiated before the Regimental Court Martial, certainly places the conduct of the aggressor, in a highly reprehensible and unmilitary point of view - the Acting-Governor, being desirous to avert the disagreeable consequences and inconvenience that would result, to several individuals, by convening a General Court Martial, refers the punishment to the Officer then commanding the Regiment, as far as the Militia Laws point out, or the contrition that may be expressed by the offender. It is also observed, that not withstanding a Superior Officer may be actually in Uniform off Parade, it cannot justify insult or disrespect to be shown to him, by any person under his military orders, and personally known at the time.
By Command,

NOTICE. [centered]

"The periods, appointed for the Trade leaving

"17th June, and 17th July. - The Trade from Berbice
"and Demerara are to leave those colonies to join the

"and to wait there to be taken to the General Ren-
"dezvous, by the Vessels of War calling for the Trade
"of that Island - for which you are to give the neces-
"sary directions. The convoying vessels is to return to
"her station immediately. As the periods appointed
"for the departure of the home-ward-bound fleets, can-
"not be deferred, you are strictly enjoined not to regard
"any application which may be made to you, to post-
"pone the sailing of the convoys from the colony under
"your protection.
(Signed) "FRANCIS LAFOREY."

ARRIVALS. - The brigs Alexander and Claud Scott, from Liverpool; Greenbow, from Belfast; Ann, from Bristol; and Farina, from Dublin. The ship Princess Mary, from Malta; and the schooner Favourite, from Barbados.

By neither of the late arrivals, have we received intelligence from Europe of a later date than what the public is already acquainted with; but, the Barbados Papers by the Favourite, (to the 10th instant) have enabled us to give the following account, of the defeat of another Division of the American Army invading Canada: [Transcriber's note: not transcribed]

Those triumphant feelings, however, which the above must give birth to, will doubtless receive a check from the following extract:

                  "Boston, February 17.
"On the 29th December last, in lat. 13 6. long. 38 W. about ten leagues from the coast of Brazil, the Constitution fell in with and captured His Britannic Majesty's frigate Java, of 49 guns, and manned with upwards of 400 men. The action continued one hour and fifty-five minutes, in which time the Java was made a complete wreck, having her bowsprit and every mast and spar shot out of her.
"The Constitution had 9 men killed, and 25 wounded; the Java had 60 killed and 101 wounded certainly; among the latter, was Capt. Lambert, a distinguished Officer, who died of his wounds at St. Salvador, five days after the battle.
"The Java was rated a 38, but mounted 49 guns, she was just out of dock, and fitted in the most complete manner, to carry out Lieutenant-General Hislop, Governor of Bombay, and his suite; with Capt. Marshall, a Commander of the British Navy; and a number of Naval Officers, going to join the British ships of war in the East Indies."

LOCALITIES. [centered]

We congratulate the Public, on the following very favourable Price Current, at Liverpool, on the 23d of January. It is extracted from a Letter of Sales.
Coffee, from 65s to 105s.
Sugar, ---- 30s to 90s.
Cotton, ---- 2s. 0 1/2 d. to 2s. 6d.
Rum, ---- 4s. 6d. average.

The Cotton above-mentioned, is of the Demerary and Berbice quality - finer, was higher in proportion. The expected opening of the Baltic, will still have a more favourable effect.

We are sorry to announce, that on the 6th instant, off the Island of St. Thomas, the American privateer Comet, captured the brigs Alexis and Dominica Packet, and the schooner Jane - late from this port, though at the same time under convoy of the Swaggerer, brig of war. On the same day, however, the Jane, was re-taken by the Swaggerer, and the Alexis by the Lightening, sloop of war. But the other brig remained in possession of the enemy.
