We announced yeflerday the capture of the Dutch
fettlement of Demerara : Our Paper, however, was
at profs before the following Letter made its ap-
pearance :
TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD MAYOR.

0 Dowsing-ftreet.Nov. 14.—One P. M.

" Mr Loa°,

" I have :he honour to acquaint your Lerch:hip, that I have
a this moment received the Intelligence of the furrender of So
rinam, and of the colonies of Demarara and Effequitao, on the qth
" a September, to his Majefty's Forces under the command of
" General GRIN ria LD and Commodore HOOD.

" I have the honour to be, &c.&e.

HOIA•T."

This important acquifition was foon after an-
nounced to the public, by the firing of the Park and
Tower guns. The recovery of Demarara mull be
•highly plealing to many of our merchants, who em-
barked a large capital there during the laft war.
On the fubjeel of this rapture, the following article
appeared in the Barbac.oes Mercury, of the :7th of
September laft.
" Samos-Tows, Srvr. 27.— WC had the falisfac-
tion, in the latter part of our editicn on Saturday laft
(having flopped the Prefa for that purpofe) to an-
nounce the furrender of the colonies of Demerara and
Effequibo to the Britith arms ; advices of which were
brought by the Supply difpatch boat; but we do not
learnthat any official communication,as ha: akvap ken
41entary, was forwarded to his Excel'ency the Go-
vernor; our Pat k and Tower (Pilgrim and Charles
Fort) guns have not therefore refounded the news to
the public, and even at this moment many perfons
are perhaps ignorant of the important event.
a The expedition under General GAINFIELD and
Commodore HOOD, did not arrive off Demarara
river until the night of the 17th inn. and a fummons
was immediately fent in, but no anfwer was received
until the ,9th, when the flag returned with an ac-
ceptance of the terms of capitulation, and Major
HAIDIta A: w•i:h zoo of the Royals, inflantly landed
and took 1.:.x;11 to of Fort William Frederick at the
mouth of the river. The next day, Colonel Nicaoe-
sow, tsith goo men and Captain BLAND, were dif
pasched to Betbice, the Britifh flag bo'ng hoined in
the mean time on the Grand Parade, in Strabroa,
an 3 the remainder of the troops eantoned there. No
fati%l.aaor y particulars of the capitulation have tranf
pired, to eital,'e us to give that information which is
ft highly interefling in this ifland, where fo many
landed proprietors of thofe colonies ansinufly enquire
the fate of their property, and from *hence Dzma-
Tyra and Effequibo have free-pen:ly de• :veil their
chief fupplies. We however °octet-11l d, that the
colonies a►e taken in the name of his %la; ;Tv ; that
