RETRACT OP A 'Arm FROM. PENOBSCOT BAY, BT. - - GEORGE'S RIVER, JUNE 23. I em sorry to inform you I had a vessel with lime taken last evening', by six barges in this river. They also took three others, and burnt one. They came within fifty rods of my store (whieb had 178 hhds. of rum, and the cargo of the brig Conway, and all the prize ships) together with the shipping lying at the wharf. The barges took possession of the Fort, destroyed all the powder, and spiked the guns. We expect them up to.night to attempt the destruction of the store, &c. We are all ordered out ; and I shall take my gun in about twenty minutes, and he out all night. MI the coasters have gone up the river, and the neighbouring towns are in arms. BALTIMOR ..

Lower Marlborough, Be nedict, Coles, and Magrader's, containing full 4000 hogsheads of tobacco. This article may be estimated at 50 dollars per hogshead. In this manner is the war carried on, our troops leave our seaboard for Canada, by orders of the Government. Boston is precisely in the same state; the town is left to pro tect itself. Our .sea oorts have been systematically abandoned, as if it were the intention of Govern ment to invite the enemy to lay them in ashes. WARLIKE MOVEMENTS.

The speech of M. Poyfevre was ordered to be printed. M. DE LA GALLISONIERE submitted another pro position on the subject to the Chamber, on a similar principle, but differing with respect to some details; and in consequence the farther consideration of the subject, generally, was adjourned to a future day. tlo •• • Due Abu -- Aaborgii 4olland • 1 ...

Saturday, as ' , brewer's dray, with three horses, was coming down Ludgate-hill, the foremost baring taken fright leaped through the shop window of Mr. Rich, pastry-stook, breaking and damaging the bot tles, pastry, and confectionary in the window.— ' Some Ladies in the shop at the time,had a narrow escape. At the Cambridge Assizes, Meals Pollard, a boy only fifteen years of age, was found guilty of setting fire to.a house at Sawston, in the occupation of John Mathews, his uncle. The Prisoner, it appeared, confessed his crime to another boy, and when examined before a Magistrate, said, that his uncle came to him in the field where he was work ing, and made a noise at him for being idle, when it came into hi. head to set the place on fire, which he did by placing a piece of burning turf close to the thatch. The reason, he confessed was' that ano ther person was suspected, and esamiqed about it, and he was unwilling that person should be punished.

A practical comment this on Mr. Madi sines Ploclamation. Anti t 1 ,4 another practical comment, we need only 4 ',oy, that there has not even a boat arrived In this t ort these tour days. The intended departure from this country of her Royal Hiehnes the Princess of WALES, is an event j which, under any circumstances, could not fail to limey public attention; but the sudden manner in which such a resolution appears to have been taken, I and the questionable reasons assigned for taking it, have, we confess, excited in our minds feelings of , regret and astonishment. Knowing well, as we do, that all' the causes of complaint which that illustrious Lady dwells on in her Letter to Lord Livaaroin, apply more forcibly to former periods 'than to the present, we cannot accept of them as any thing like n satisfactory solution of this apparently mysterious . affair. In that Letter her Roy al Highness, is* irked to say, 46 that she has met with nothing bet tuarOfieation and misery since she set her foot in the Island, assuaged . only by. the .affectionate pro tectiosi.. she received from his Majesty, to the last hour of his mental intelligence. Deprived of I his countenance, she had no tie left but heir daughter, and her society she was no longer Permitted to enjoy." Considering this surely as the language of her advisers, we shall take the liberty of -obsErving, that of mortification and misery her Royal Highness has, indeed, had an abundant share ; but there was a time,and that, too, since the lamented indisposition of the KING, when there was some thing like a second attempt to put her honour and life in jeopardy, by the evidence of domestic spies, and suborned traducers. At this trying and af flicting period, the KING, insensible to her danger, could afford her no protection ; and the people of j England, then ignorant of the charges brought against her Royal Highness, as well as of the sort of evidence produced to support them, stood silent spectators, I mute with astonishment. To all this may be added, that her visits to her daughter were also then re stricted—that her stinted income was then inadequate to the support of her rank—and to crown her mildew tunes, her former confidential advisers, having then found more profitable employment than her defence, had abandoned her cause. Under this complication of circumstances, so peculiarly distressing to a female mind of sensibility, and conscious of her innocence, sorely her Royal Highnets must have felt greater mortificalion, and more poignant misery, thin any of which she can at this moment truly complain. The people of England, with a frank and manly gene rosity, which it is no flattery to say, marks and elevates their national character, lane since then become her protectors under reverberated from the whol, the British shores, they have camfited her enemies, and prod ience. The Parliament too, have their cordial actiniescence in the people, and though unable to stil rate engnish, both Houses have —they have consented to add to thens under which the country still der her Royal Highness's hapiess dependent and comfortable, at was before, by granting her a lib; the public purse. After all this does not appear very seemly or motifficalion and misery brought the machinations and mulice of her be till noe reserved as the main not unaccompanied with the slightest sympathy, and affection, which t' venally displayed ii her cause. is to become of her Royal Highness's , with her Royal Daughter, should as to leave this country ?
