FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE BALTIMORE MOB. • MOST HORRIBLE BUTCHERY AND MURDER • Philadelphia, July 20. Extract of a Letter from Baltimore, dated on Wed nesday morning at nine o'clock : •' The Gentlemen referred to in my letter of yes terday, preferred remaining in prison to being bailed • outtoinder assurances of protection from the consti - aped authorities. A regiment of infantry, a com pany of 'artillery, and certain troopers were ordered • out. A detachment of the mob surrounded the es con of the Qentlemen to the jail, (wounded several of them with stones as they were marching along the streets, and struck severatothers as they ascended the steps) while the greatest part of them continued about and in the house of Mr. Wagner, destroying the fur niture and the internal, work of the building, through . ,out the day, without the least molestation. .1 After, dimier I walked out to Howard's Park, opposite the jail, which was surrounded by a large concourse cf people. Brigadier-General Stricker and the Mayor were walking about apparently uncon cerned. The constant cry of the mob was 6 blood for blood.' No military appeared,' although 'detach nitnts-were paraded in turn, which a little before sup-set were ordered to be dismissed as being mine ceisary ; and, within an hour from that time, the mob, without resistance, entered the jail and forced the Boor of the apartment which contained the Gentle men. Mr. Daniel Murray presented himself before them with pistols, and they drew back—the Gentle men then rushed forward, and many of them suc ceeded in effecting their escape unhurt. General Lingarc was inhumanely murdered, and several were desperately wounded. Mr. John Thompson, beaten to a mummy—one of his arms broken in two - places, and tWo deep indentures in his right cheek, continues barely td exist. General Lee, with a fractured scull, , was taken to the Hospital, but it is hoped he will stirvive his wound, as well as Mr. George Winches ter, and another Gentleman,who were ten ibly beaten. I have heard of none others much injured. In the Course of the afternoon, Mr. Hanson put his head out of the window and proclaimed, that they were treacherously sent there to be massacred. , 4 Mr. Thompson wasiaken about in a cart last night—and this morning, at half-past nine, if he he alive, is to be tarred and feathered, and paraded through the streets—to prevent which I can hear of no measlises taken. Trumpets have been blowing, And at length about half a troop of horse—a com pany of artillery without uniform, and a company of infantry, without either uniform or arms, have ap peared, and it is said are going out for exercise on the commons. 46. The following (incomplete) list, contains the names of the gentlemen above referred to: " William Schroeder. John Thompson, General Harry Lee, Otho Sprig, Henry Kenne3y, Charles Kilgore, -John F.. Hall, George Winchester, Peregrine Warfield, Alexander C. Hanson, George Richards. Edward Guinn, David Hoffman, Horatio Bigelow; Ephralm Gaither, William Gaither, Jacob Schley, Mark U. Pringle ' Daniel Murray, Richard S. Cross, General James Lingan, also Mr. Mosgrove, dangerously wounded at the Hospital. . ANOTHER LETTER FROM BALTIMORE, DATED JULY ' 31, 1812. 66 The Spartan Band, as I believe I have told you, were, about nine o'clock in the morning, lodged in the jail, under the solemn assurances from the high est civil and military authority, that in every respect they should have the most ample protection. Lee said, , your City is not able to protect us.'--General Stricker answered, 6 if you are sacrificed we will die by your side, we will be sacrificed with you '—Their arms were all taken from them, except three pistols and a dirk. In a short time the jail was threatened, and the greatest solicitude was shewn by their fl lends ' to procure them bail. The application was - urged by *nen of the first respectability at the Bar, by the very predecessor of the Judge who refused it: The re , t peated answer was v ihe peace of tite.Cii would be endan gered ! But the truth, the undenia truth is, they were doomed, as victims, to satiate i blood thirsty 3acohins of Baltimore. Another truth, not to be questioned, is, that thewere not bailed because a pledge was given to the tannibals that they should not be. As the jail was threatened, it way at last concluded to call nut the military, A warrant was then sell; m General &tricker to do so ; this was at tea 9%104, sad ;be avesear/ orders were not given ~ 6. • '. c; • •:..s? ay.% A , • • • 7 ' 1 hisOfSeers until ene o'clock, And it mil then done only after Joseph Sterret, the Colonel of thelth regi ment, called to ask if he had any orders to give, that he was ready . to obey. After asking if 'he thought there was any danger, and b e i ng answere d by Sterret that there was, be told him so notify his officers to be in readiness ; the regiment vas accordingly or dered out at four o'clock; one company of artillery appeared at the jail, and of the whole regiment not more than from SO to 40 of 'the infantry appeared, and of the cavnliy, net one' except the Major of the squadron. It is true there were ten volunteers on horseback, with swords. Stricker was not there. At a little after five o'clock,• the few began their march to the jail. The cavalry brought up the rear. Few as they were, they should have been able to have thrown themselves into the jail, and have defended it. But while on their way, Stricker ordered them back, and at sunset they were dismissed, and the death warrant of our brothers given to their butchers. There are a great many particulars, which put toge ther are of great importance in shewing, in the most detestable colours, the character of the men who took the lead in this horrid transaction. Let me not for get to tell you, that General Stricker appeared with out his uniform, and without a sword ; that at the jail he told Lieutenant Russell, of the artillery, who was also ordered back, that he was very sorry to see him in uniform ! The dismissal of the troopl e was the signal, and the mob rushed to the prison, and like Daniel among lions, it seems as if there was a special interposition of Heaven ; and they coold not be destroyed. None escaped wholly unhurt ; Gene ral Lingan only was killed upon the spot. But this was not owing to the abatement of the fury of the villains: They exulted over ten of their victims until Morning, piled up like hogs at the steps of the jail, believing they were dead By great persuasion the physicians took them off, for the pretended purpose of diisection. And thus they were saved. All will recover, except General Lce and John Thompson, -whose cases were doubtful. There is not a man of them within twenty miles of the city. Nothing has been done for the preservation of the city. The Cri minal Court was in session, but has adjourned. The Grand Jury dare not, and will not sit. The Judge has explicitly told them he can give them no protec tion.—A dreadful stillness prevails,—no man dare speak." .~ I , . • • ' : • . * .' . ' ..

About two hours before being hoarded, the squadron took an English gun-brig and burnt her. The crew of the brig was on board one of the frigates.
