THE Privateers Bellona, Capt. D.iicoll ; Mercury, Craggs';
1 Hornet, — , and a copper bottomed (loop from Liver
pool, when at sea formed an expedition against the Continent
of Demarara, which they put in execution, and not without
success ; when they arrived there thinking that they knew
nothing of a Dutch war, expected to meet with,no refinance,
but were fired upon by the forts, who after a few broad-sides
were soon filcnced, the vessels getting over the bar, they then
capitulated. The above veflels arrived here yesterday with
eleven valuable prizes, 3 they sent to Baybadoes, all of which
were taken in Demerara. They left the island in possession of
two British sloops ofwar.
ARTICLES of AGREEMENT between P. Van Schujlcnburgh,
Esquire, Commodore of the river of Demerara, as also the
Members of the Court of Policy, in the fame Colon, ; and Messrs.
Patrick DrifeoU, Commander of the private /hi, ofwar Bello
ml ; Robert Craggs, Commander of the private flip of war
Mercury ; John Kember, Commander of the private jloop of
war Hornet; and fobk fackfon, Commander of the private
jebooner ofwar Porcupine.
lit Proposal to the Commodore, &c.
Having Commissions of his Britannick Majesty, &c. &c.
against the ft bje is of the States-General, and all inhabiting
within their dominions ; the said commanders of the afore
mentioned vcffels, propose, and demand, bv virtue of their
Commissions, That the Commodore and Council of Demerara,
ihall give up to them, all the'Dutch vessels with every thing
appertaining to them, that are now in this River ; and in conse
quence of their compliance the colours of the Fort and vessels
must immediately foe hauled down ; in which case they pro
mise, that they and every of the inhabitants in this River and
Colony, shall remain in quiet possession of their property and
unmolested ; but in case of refufal to these conditions, they
(bail proceed to the extremities of war.
Answer.
The Commodore and Council of Demarara not being able
to make any resistance, thro' want of forces, will let the said
Captains take all the vessels they chufe, and they will haul
town the colours; provided, the said Commanders of the
aid;ementioned vessels will take this colony under their pro
tection arid defend it from any privateers or other vessels what
foeter, that may come and disturb the colony and plunder the
inhabitants, or put them under any contribution whatsoever ;
that they shall for that purpose leave one of their ships in this
river until such time as the river shall be able to protect itfelf.
Article 2.
The aforefaid Commanders declare they cannot promise to
leave any of their vessels behind ; but they promise to take eve
ry privateer vessel out of the river, and will leave a certificate,
by which they declare that they have taken from this river
what they in reason thought they could take, and therefore
desire all Captains of privateers that may come hereafter, not
to molest any of the inhabitants of this colony, and that in such
case, they will take care that no injury shall be done to any
verfon whatsoever; and likewise that the merchant ships shall
lign their bills of lading, and the manifefts of their cargoes,
and clear out as usual ; this being the only best and last propo
sals they can make or grant, giving one hour to the Commo
dore and Council to agree to it.
Answer.
The Commodore and Council not finding themselves in any
date of defence, as already mentioned, find themselves oblig
ed to agree to the terms proposed, and in consequence there
of, the colours shall be hauled down ; provided the said Cap
tains will take care that no other of their people shall come on
shore but those that are in the boats, and they shall be obliged
to remain in their boats; and that the people which will come
on shore shall not be permitted to walk about, but be obliged
to stay on the place which shall be appointed.
The last article being agreed to by the said Commanders in
Demerara, the 25th day of February 1781, they have hereunto
affixed their names.

crew confined, were fared; but the vessel and cargo were
entirely loft. We have no certain information what vessel it
was.
