OCT. 2.,

with shipping by long, crooked, and narrow rivers, on a spot se-
lected above all others as the most 'secure from foreign invasion ;
--who would have supposed that it could so easily have been de-
stroyed by a,' enemy ?
Is it possible, that after being two years at war, our capital, the
seat of our general Government, should have been left so defence.
less ? Can it be believed, that a small armament of a few ships, and
from six to ten thousand troops, which came into our waters on the
17th inst. could demolish our capital on the !Nth ? But such is the
fact. In less than one month from the sailing of the expedition
lion' Bermuda, the British General has fixed his headquarters in
the heart of our nation, the scat of our Government. What sha3
we think of suck things? Where have cur men at the head of aftlirs
heel) all this time? Why have they taken no measures to defend the
capital? Were there no places on the Patuxent or the Potomac
which might have been fortified ? Was there no means of defending
the property of the nation? Can men who manage in this way be fit
to govern a great and free people ? Let their constituents answer.
We cannot close this article, without turning the attention of the
public to our own situation. We are now erecting fortifications for
the defence of our city : but where are the guns to mount in them ;
where are the men to man them I—and who takes the charge of
vi hat few men we have under arms ? How often does our Cern:nail-
der in Chief' review them ? These are various questions to the citi-
zen. Our fortifications will be worse than useless, unless they have
guns in them, are well married, and the men are trained to the use
of the guns.—Cons. Ade.

Yesterday Charles Jotirdan and William Hurtles were reexamined
charged with stealing a chest of tea, from Brooks's Wendon waggon.
It appeared that the waggon left town in the afternoon of Wednes-
day, and arrived sale at Epping. The waggoner, Brooks, retired
to rest at twelve o'clock, leaving the waggon in the Inn yard, and
having fastened the inn gates. The chest of tea was then stowed•he-
hind and fastened with a chain. In the morning at six o'clock, upon
going to the waggon he missed it. The prisoners were stopped by
the patrole near Epping with it in a small cart, and they said they
had found it lying in the road. This story Burtles repeated to day,
and said he could prove that he was at home in bed during the time
it was missed by Brooks. They were remanded for further examin-
ation.

James Cooper was charged with attempting ro pick pockets in
the Strand. Two of the officers watched the prisoner attempting
in company with same others, to pick the pockets of several per.
sons. They with some difficulty secured him, but nothing was
found upon him. He was sentenced to be imprisoned until the ses-
sions as a reputed thief.
Samuel Grady was charged with obtaining from a publican,
twelve shillings nnder false pretences. The Prisoner in company
with another man, went to the prosecutor's house, and represented
hinisflf as a marine just discharged and entitled to a large share of
prize money. The Pui,lican lured by the hopes of gain took them
in, fed and bedded them for four days, lent them twelve shillings, and
on the fifth they took French leave, leaving him a bill unpaid of six
pounds several shillings for their four days entertainment. A few
duys since he met them by
_chance and secured Brady. He was re-
manded for thrther exaamination to give an opportunity of enquire
iug at the Agent's, where he says he has cash to receive.
