LONDON;

OCTOBER IS, 1814.

Mc Gazette account of the spie'nditi operations
on the l'Atapsco, which occupies so large a por-

tido of our space, will be found fully to corm,

borate the intelligence we yesterday laid before
the'rublie. Dimmed. as the lustre of the battle
near Baltimore is-by the premature and melan-
:eholyfhll of our heroic Ross, never (lid the Bri-
tish.arins achieve a more complete and honourable
victory. The partizans of the wretched faction
-among us, whosicken at the sound of every triumph
'of their country, are attempting to undervalue this
gallant exploit—to-represent it indeed as a total fai-
. lnre,hecanse oureonnnanders did not deem it expe-
eieut to proceed &fiuitiyely against Ualtimore':—
Do pot these
pervertors of truth see froni-the Dis-
patches, Military and Naval, that the- attack of
Baltinuirb was not the setle.d design of the'Expe-
dition ; that it had niany other objects in View, all
of. which it nobly accomplished, and that the at-
tack ot-ths- city was a Mere alternative, to be car-
. ...
ried-into effect or not, according to C nm s t
I,Slothing_short of infamy could 6ttominate the va-

hunt
,and tiercrioui exploits of our forccs,
tailed in the Gazette, a " defeat." We cannot help
thinking that, these remarks have been penned
by an American—for stirely a Briton could not so
far'dchase

It is nnneccsrar•v for us to follow the interest-
ing and clear details of the Dispatches. Colonel
BrtooK's tribute to his brave Commander does
honour to his bead and heart. The, loSs ,of tlfe
Enemy at Baltimore, by his own works •of.demo-
litiOn, &c. seems to be as great,as if the British
had entered the place. From Captain CORDON'S
account, it will be seen that we did not over-rate
the importance of the taking of Alexandria.
Few additional particulars have comes to our
knowledge. An American Paper makes the lrntount
of the force opposed to us before Baltimore
12,000, and states that 20,000 at least were in the
entrenchments before the town. The fifth Regi-
ment, which was nearly annihilated, was• com-
posed of the Gentry of Baltimore—some of those,
we suppose, who committed the massacre on their
fellow townsmen.

The American troops . are described as being of
the worst description. They are mere dastatlly
hush-fighters, who, when exposed, will not stand
a charge, but fly at the sight. of the bayonet.

NVei have received American and Canadian
Papers, but not to so late a date as those which
reached us by preceding arrivals. An American
. Paper certainly asserts, that our little flotilla on
Lake ChaMplain bas been defeated, which, even if
true, which is not impossible, isiof inferior im-
portance : a similar report is circulated of the
retreat of Sir GEORGE egevosT, and evacuation.
of Plattsburg, which we most sincerely hope is,
unfounded, as it would prove that the Enemy
were stronger on the Lower Canadian. frontier
than we could desire-them to be: We have how-
,
ever.great apprehensions on the subject.

We have this morning received French Papers
in course—also a Hamborgh Mail.—Their prin
cipal contents will be found in another part of
our Paper.

In obedience to the request of the Court, we
abstain from puhlishing any of the Evidence on
Colonel QUINTIN'S trial.

This day it was ordered, that the price of the
quartern loaf should be reduced 0-Id. foe therensu-

LUDDITES.—By letters 7
received yesterday from
.
Nottingham, we are very sorry to learn that the
outrages of those deluded people called Luddites
still continue. A few weeks no a man a the
name of Towle, of New Bfisford, was fully coin-

mined for frame-breaking, upon the evidence of
Mr. GAIrroN of that place, and was to take his

trial at thc Quarter Sessions. Aware that the
evidence of Mr. GARTON could not fail to bring
their accomplice to condign punishment, the Lud-
dites formed the horrid resolution of murdering
him. With this view, on Friday night last, a
number of them assembled about nine o'clock.—
Fortunately, Mr. GARTON }tad received previous
intimation of their intentions, and had made ap-
plication to the Magistrates, who, furnished him
with a.guard of constables. On arriving at ,Mr.
GARTON'S house, they eagerly enquired for -him,
and .swore they came to do for him ; and, by way
of intimidation, fired several times, but without
doing- any mischief. On forcing their way into
the parlour, (where the Constables were waiting
'for them; the Luddite ringleader received a shot
in his head, and dropped down dead on the spot.

with the contents, amounting to :3,300 barrels of
strong beer. The fluid, in its course, swept
every thing before it. Two houses in New-street-;
