We find that His Honor the Second Fiscal, has given his legal opinion, on the subject of registering Plantation Boats; and it is entirely in favour of the Planters. The said Boats being merely for the purpose of in land [sic] navigation, not coming within the intent and meaning of the law, as quoted by the Officers of the Customs at this Port.

The Undersigned, originally passengers in the Ship Industry, from Amsterdam, and now in this river - came from Barbados last, in the Demerary Packet. It appears that on the 14th of August, they saw a vessel, which they thought might be a Packet, and anxious to learn some news of the passing events in France, they requested the Captain to lend them a boat, in which they embarked about half past one in the afternoon, but the wind springing up, they were not able to reach the sail; they therefore endeavoured to regain their ship, but, it being night-fall, they lost sight of her; and continued exposed for fifteen days, without any nourishment, but what they procured from the rain, which they caught in their handkerchiefs. In this state they remained until a vessel hove in sight - which took them to Guadeloupe, as will be seen by the following: -
"The Subscribers, who had been fifteen days at sea without nourishment, and were at length taken up, and carried into Point a Petre, Guadeloupe, by a French brig from Angola with Slaves, having received the most generous assistance from the Inhabitants of that place, in relieving their distresses, and enabling them to proceed on their intended voyage, take this opportunity of testifying the lively sense they entertain of the kind and liberal conduct of their humane benefactors, and of assuring them that it has made a grateful impression on their hearts, which can never be effaced.
A. Driessen.
D. Prins.
G. Tylear.
J. Meyer Tuesky
M. G. Vander Pant."

The name of the French brig, mentioned above, was the Herminione, Captain Desescailliers, from which gentleman, they received the most tender attentions. But we have been requested to contradict the report, of their having "formed the dreadful resolution of sacrificing one life, to preserve the others:" - no proposition to that effect having ever been made. - Edit.
