EFROM TILE FEDERAL REPUBLICAN, AUGUST 5.] " THE RAPID DESCENT." 46 It appears, that from the recent accounts not *more than 1000 men are collected near Albany, for /he grand invasion, which has been threatened' and preparing for six months. At this rate it would cost . sore labour to a military arithmetician wl:o should ttni ertake to calculate when the liberty &f the Seas toil/ be conquered on the heights of yaraham. We have no expectation of an advantage, us result from Gene ral Hull's expedition ; his regular force is too small, and the army is too badly supplied, to promise sat ass against Malden. 41 It is characteristic of the men who have preci ' pitated us into this war, that the British should have circuitously obtained much earlier information of the declaration than General Hull, and taken their mea sures accordingly. " Johnson, the guilty Mayor of Baltimore, the I perfidious betrayer of the brave, the reproach of i Magistracy, has called the City Councils together, in older to obtain an exculpatory statement of facts! ,in his favour, and that of Stucker, his colleague in perfidy aqd dishonour. It may readily be foreseen what kind of statement this will be, when it is 42- membered, that the mob retains the sovereign power in Baltimore; that die persons appointed to draw it up are nearly, all notorious for disorganizing princi ples ; and that the number includes a fugitive frem Ireland. As the Club are clothed with powers to ; increase their numbers, we vrvould advise them tb call in Stucker, as well as the Mayor, that both i may have a principal share in the drudgery of White washing themselves, without laying the burden alto-1 gvther upon „others. " The reliance General Lee placed in the hcnour of General Stucker originated in the feelings he sup losed_one Officer of the Revolution could not help entertaioiog for another. Alas ! he did not know the stuff of which the leading Baltimore democrats are made. Truth, honour's faith, are by them laughed to scorn. When force cannot reach the vie `, tim, cool, detiberat:., smiling perfidy takes place.— , Such men, whilst they are proof against the feeling of humanity, are careless of the opinion of the wor thy. 'the sacrifice efia political opponent is to them more delightful than h e incense of well-merited ap ! Flame. He will remain stained with the blood of General Lingan till he retires from the stage of life, be the period long or short; to give an account of his conduct ; and who can envy him his triumph over bravery attained in such a manner ? It is not safe. Meanwhile, let him prepare for the - manifold incon veniences hich must ensue from a deliberate breach of faith, which has cost others so dearly in life, feel ing, and property. Well might it be exclaimed— The mob itself was humane, compared with Stucker, Johnson,' acid their associates in this black business. rmahOsO over whose muriovis {le grave was to be dosed, have risen from It to attest their vetoer, turd the mode in which they were perfidiously immolated. Their story will descend - to posterity in details, which will affect the heart and startle belief. Avenged their sufferings must be, by the justice of man, or the dispensations of Heaven. " It cannot he known what were the orders with which Commodore Rodgers put to sea. A fault of magnitude, however, lies somewhere. For more than a month, the coast and trade of the United States have been exposed without the protection which the principal and most active part of our liule navy could afford. This, in the early part of hosti hties, would have been of moment to the returning vessels, which, from the course of circumstances, were unsuspicious of danger. As things have been managed, Commodore Rodgers is driving about the ocean in quest of British convoys, which he cannot meet, and leaving our own trade a prey to every petty gun-vessel. But if he had been so successful as to capture as many vessels as he could man, the whole amount would be only equal to a small pro portion of what the unjustifiable cruize will have cost , in the loss of American property, and which ought to have been saved by the activity of his squadron nearer home. What has become of him, and what may be his fate, are questions to be anxiously put both by the patrons of the navy and the _friends of those who are under his command. If the danger from the superiority of British naval power were less striking, the interval which has elapsed without hear ing from him is foreboding. . Deep is the interest which every friend to his country must feel, in the preservation of the slender means of maritime defence, which we have beep allowed by cur Administration to possess. Equally valuzible are the liberty and wc'fare of so many Offi cers of the first promise and connection, as our public vessels contain. But, -it is a truth, which is in a course of verification, that this war will cost us both, and that before long. In anticipation of this, it is already re echoed in certain quarters, that Congress will never hereafter appropriate a dollar for naval purposes. We have seldom seen this subject placed upon its tree footing. The present posture of affairs affords an illustration, which may tend to hold it up in its true light. We have now a maritime and land war at the same time. ""The whole internal frontier is menaced both by the British and Savages, in like manner as the sea toast is liable to the annoyance of the British cruizers. Both require protection, and why should the interior frontiers be alone provided for ? Ought not every Member connected with, the Atlantic interests to have checked the gratification of the western interests till full justice had been accorded to the people she re presents ? As the matter at present stands, the inari-1 time people are to pay all, fight all, and lose ail." • BALTTMORE MOBS. On Tuesday evening they resolved to pull down the Post-Office, as the most effectaal way tf revent ing the circulation of the Federal Repullican, in Bal timore. On this act they were as Cully bent as they ever were upon any of the numerous outrages they have perpetrated with so much impunity—but they were prevented by calling out the militia, who have been on duty every night since, inconsiderable num bers- Even the Mayor, of clear conscience, has made a show or acting, by issuing a Proclamation in the Bone/iarlean style, threatening " eummarily to punish the riotous and ill-disposed." At the time this step was taken, application was made, as we are informed, to the Postmaster, to ez elude our Paper from the ti ce ! The mob, however, have sworn they would have it down in less than . five nights, and thus far they have generally made good their threats. Should the Proclamation prevent their success on the present occasion, how clearly will the Mayor convict himself of connivancy and perfidy on every former occasion. Why did he not issue his Proclamation in an earlier stage of mobocracy? He was timely and pointedly apprised of each of the three mobs which affected us—but in the two first he declined interfering, and in the last he had just so much agency as to convince the populace that they had nothing to fear from his prevention, in the per petratinn of' what must appear to every man a pre concerted massacre. His own express and avowed language proves his guilt. He now declares in his Proclamation— id Whereas a disposition has manifested itself on the part of some of our misguided citizens, to disturb the peace of our city, and whereas it is believed that the promoters of this disorderly conduct are so few in number, that if not countenanced by others, who are in fact only spectators, they would desist from such conduct." If this be true, what excuse has he for all that is passed ? He can never pretend that so fiw persons could not be restrained, had he tnrught pi-vet to exert his authority. Is it not now clear to demon stration ? Is it not now manifest from his own confes sion, that the printing office and dwelling house of one of us, with their respective contents, were des troyed, and our friends massacred, in the prison, by a few, whom the Constituted Authorities did not choose to oppose ? And why not oppose them ?No other answer can be given, if the premises be true," than that their conduct was approved, if not procured and instigated. The Postmaster of Baltimore' sent an express to Washington, containing an account of the danger, and asking for assistance, which, as we have heard, has, for the present, beep declined.— ( From the Fede.' nil Republican, Aug. 7.) PROCLAMATION. IT TIM LORD MAYOR Or BALT/140111, DATED AUGUST S. " Whereas, a disposition has manifested itself on the part of some of our misguided citizens, to disturb the peace of oar city, ley disregard of, and open opposition to its laws ; and whereas it is believed, that the promoters of this disorderly conduct are so few in number, that if not countenanced by ethers, who are In fact only spectators, they would desist from such misconduct.— Now, therefore, I am induced to issue this my Proclamation, calling upon all well. disp. sed, peaceable citizens, who are not in 1 the employ of the Civil nor Military Authorities, to remain within their respective houses after eight o'clock in the evening, ' during the present state of the public mind, and particularly to ' Teta , n at home all their apprentices, servants, and children ; in 1 doing so, they will consult their own safety, as well as coutri bute to the preservation of peace ; for, as efficacious means are ! adopted to disperse all assemblages of the people, and summarily punish the riotous and ill-disposed, those who are in the streets only as spectators, will subject themselves to the danger of sef.. fering with the guilty. ZDWARD J0UN40441." GEORGETOWN, AUGUST & The truth must be told, although it be shocking. The atangled corp se of General Lingan was tlirown out • of the•ptjson, and lay on the earth, like that ota dog, till the middle of the peat day, when it was , obtained and buried by a relative. We understand that a ge neral and unbounded indignation at the inhuman murder of General Lingan, and exasperation at the approving inactivity of the Magistrates, pervades Montgomery, and that they are felt ►n other parts of I the state. Many of the citizens have put on mourn ing for him, which they mean not to lay aside until his death is properly avenged. For such a man, so perishing, tears and grief, the common pomp of woe, which more frequently follow the unworthy and un distinguished to their earthly places of repose, are not enough. Ought not his memory to be honoured by some more remarkable proof of public sorrow ? What is due to him, in particular from Montgomery, and from every inhabitant of Maryland, who know how to value his former services ; and who deplore him tke more on account of the manner in which he was , cut off ? The answer to this question ought, we think, to be given by assemblages of the people convened expressly for the purpose of consulting upon the sub ject. Mean while, every man, woman, and child in Montgomery might wear some convenient badges of mourning for the Chief so much beloved, and who perished so cruelly. GEORGETOWN, AUGUST 7. The providential escape and recovery of Mr. Han son from his wounds, have excited pious gladness in our hearts, which -no language can express. The joy occasioned is heightened by a perusal of a letter from him to a friend, holding out the expectation of his soon resuming a partin the direction of this Jour nal. After the scenes which have passed in review before us, who can doubt the fervor to the devotion of the cause of justice, liberty, and mankind, which warms the bosom of the man, whose wrongs and sut ferings in the cause of liberty and virtue have not been surpassed for his age. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A. C. MANAOg, EWA DATED NEAR BALTIMORE, AUGUsT 3, 1812. gg Next to the death of General Lingan, whose exit was truly noble and characteristic, the panic prevailing among the people in and near Baltimore, has smote my heart more severely than all the wrongs and sufferings inflicted by the blind and fero cious agents of malignant, cowardly, blood-thirsty enemies; sheltering themselves for a time under an irresponsible b ►nditti. My wounds, it is true, are numerous and severe, but they reach not my mind, nor give a moment's uneasiness cr grief ; but the gloom and despondency pervading the body of Fe deralists within the sphere of Baltimore influence, inflames my very brain, and are as a thousand dag. gers aimed at my heart. The late scenes in the em porium of Maryland, originating demonstrably at Washing:on, and made by many a party question, I consider merely as the commencement of a long se ries c f troubles, to terminate happily or unfortunately for the country, as men of respectability, property, and talents, perform the parts assigned them by pa triotism. If they look on quietly, or rather fly their posts, and permit the hundredth part of the popula tion of any given place, and that too composed of pickpockets, footpads, foreign vagabonds, and pri vateers-men, to usurp the Government, they may blame themselves when their property, persons, and families, are disposed of by the same rules of sum mary adjudication. " Oh, my friends and fellow-martyrs, when I say they would vie with the picked men of Leonidas, facts will attest the truth of the assertion. Although they had not slept for the last thirty-six hours, to the last moment they were cheerful, conversable, and sometimes gay. Not even when the forcing of the gaol dor': was announced by the savage yell of the mob, nor when they came to the door of the apart ment in which we were confined, was there a look, a whisper, or even a motion of the body, or any thing but cool, collected courage, and contempt of death. A different conduct was not to be expected of met who had embarked in such a cause, with a perfect knowledge of all the consequences, though they never could have anticipated, being delivered over to the executioner through the inhuman treachery of the Civil Authorities. " The liberty of the press, the security of person and property, the rights, civil and political, belong ing to the meanest citizen, the very principles and privileges for the assertion and defence of which the war of independence was declared, we had pledged ourselves to maintain, and at the risk of our lives, and at every extremity not forbidden by laws, with the mob and Civil Authority united against us; the contest was, indeed, unequal : however, my situa tion allows me to add but little. g 4 All my partners in persecution and sufferings whom I have seen or heard from since the massacre, agree in ascribing the injuries to the same men.— The names of Afavr, General Stucker, and Joha Monvn.ery are thegirst in the catalogue of the per fidious and barbarous monsters, and it will appear ' that the advice of the latter, dictated by cowardice, produced the catastrophe. 66 My writing to you is more of an experiment than otherwise, and I cannot dictate, as no one will be my amanuensis; the doctors and nurses all insist ing that I shall 'lather write nor talk, and I can do neither without danger. 66 I have six wounds on the head, either of which sufficiently severe to induce an inflammation of the brain without great care. Both collar-bones are hurt ; the extremity of the spinal bone injured, and extremely painful; the breast bruised and now pain— ful ; the fore finger of the right hand broken, and the whole hand injured, having been twice stabbed, once through with a pen-knife, and the nose broken. These are the injuries I have received, but therdol not give me half the pain that the despondency of my political friends inflict." HALIFAX, AUGUST 24. His Majesty's ships Maidstone, Spartan, and In dian, with a fleet of merchantmen, arrived on 'Tues day last from New Brunswick. The Rosina, mast ship, is one of the fleet, on board her are Lieutenant.. General Hunter, his Lady, and Family. ARMISTWE.—The following is copied from than bang Gazette of Monday last : " On Saturday last arrived in this City, Colonel Baynes, Adjutant-General of the British Forces in Lower Canada, accompanied by Major Clark, Aid de-Camp to General Petit, commanding the Ame rican troops on the Canada line. Immediately on his arrival he was introduced to General De*bow a at his headivarten at Greetibusha ni ,With whorls, gad his Erceilenc? G overnor Tornki% we are informed he remained closeted t ill a lAtehont. Report says, he came to commun i cate to the Com, wanderer nof the e oftAmericanthe o r Orders army er s i n Council, a - oScial info? motion f -C t the repeal in-Chief that instructions had been sent out by the British G o .

What has b eta the result of the conferences between General D ear. born and Colonel Baynes we have not been able% learn, although we are lcd to believe as m ost pro , * ble, that a partial armistice for a short time b as b util agreed upon. " Another report says, that Colonel Bayne s vat g possession of the instructions s e n t to M r . F oster, and that he came to this city with intention to pr oced to 1 the seat of Government, but that permissio n to that effect could not be obtained from General Dearlyara, Colonel Baynes left town yesterday on his return to j Canada. " In addition to •the above, we arc informed that there are letters in town from Albany, stating, th at an armistice was actually concluded at nine o'clo c k on Saturday evening, to cominue for 30 days." /MOM THE QUEBEC MERCURY, AUGUST 18. " Rumour says, that Gcncrdl Deal borne has agreed to an armistice of 30 days, that tithe th;gla be give n to hear from Washington, supposed to be in conse. quence of the revocation of the Orders in Council; four days notice to be given, pilot. to the re-com. mevement of hostilities.—lf the above be coupled with some observations in our columns from the National Intelkiencer, an inference may b^ fairly drawn, that an accommodation of the differences betwee n Great Britain and the United States is within the reach of possibility—particularly as the Americus must already have felt the power •of Great Briton through the Halifax squadron, though in a far le is degree than what they may expect to feel if then! be continned. " Letters from New• York, of the Bth instant, say, that a settlement with Great Britain was expected. Rumour farther says, that Governor Hull has heel repulsed, for the fourth time, at Fort Maiden, with the loss of 30 men. It is added, that as General Brook was mustering his forces, it was expected that he would soon become the assailant, when Mr. Hall may think himself happy if he has the good forma, to effect his escape." NEW PROVIDENCE, JULY 46. Captain Brand has arrived with a sloop undo Spanish colours, from Amelia, with a seasonable supply of flour, rice, and corn. 'Three masters of British merchantmen have arrived whose vessels were laid hold of when ready for sea ; the Master cf the Emperor escaped in an open boat to sea, and was picked up by Captain Brand. The following vessels are detained at Amelia : the ship Emperor, of Lon. don ; brig Adventurer, of Kirkaldy ; ship Experi. ment, of London; schooner Adventure, of West.

" Nine American privateers were taken by by Majesty's ship Spartan in the Bay of Fundy. The British Admiral at Halifax having nothing left is port but a small tender, put the crew of his barge and a few midshipmen on board, with one gun : they went in search of a privateer, of eight carriage guns —after chasing her a number of hours, they came up with her in the night. Scott, the senior miushipman, who had the command, desired the American prin. teer to strike, which he did to the brave crew of the British barge. The privateer had 36 men on board." THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19. We announced yesterday, on the faith of a letter sent to us and some of our contemporaries, from the City, that the George Washington, ten days later from New York than the GLKANER, had arrived at Liverpool, and brought accounts that peace was con. sidered certain at the time she sailed. The letter alluded to proves to have been a fabrication—pro. bably for mercantile purposes. It is true that the Washington is expected to be one of the first arrivals, but the latest letters from Liverpool do not menu' any new arrivals from America..We are not with. out hopes that we shall be able to discover the an. thors of this forgery : if we succeed, we shall giTO them a proper niche in our Portico of Fame. In addition to the particulars communicated yes. terday from accounts brought by the GLEANER WO have this day given various interesting articles from American Newspapeis. We ought here to states however, that the 30 days armistice, mentioned the Halifax Paper of the 24th ult. is discredited a' letters of the following day. We'must wait the' next arrival from America be• fore we can hope to know any thing respecting the effect produced at Washington by the repeal or the Orders in Council. It was impossible, as we stated yesterday, that the GLEANER could bring any thing definitive respecting this point. The GLEANER, hie true, carried out intimations of the intended meows but it may be questioned whether of such a nattue as to call for instant deliberation and action on cher!' of the American Government ; for she sailed from Plymouth on the I9th of June, and the Proclanie =don rescinding the Orders did riot appear M th e / London Gazelle until the 23:f of that month. —la short, any answer brought by the GLEANER WOUla necessarily be of a complexion that might be consi. dered hostile; as no arrangement of the dis.otitinud ance of hostilities could .possibly be transmitte d b y this TVI6el• In riot of fact o WC know t;aat ccluAls
