ALEXANDRIA- CA PrcuLATED.

.Since the-above in type, we have read the
Articles of Ca'pitulatirm :which the Corporation
of Alexandria was forced to submit to. The citi-
zens of that pike resolved, in town meetim:, that
there was nothing left for them but to Make the
bestterms they could, since they Were abandon-
ed by the 6overnment, and. left entirely.defence-
less. The Map»r of tl;at city has in(Ormed'the
Mayor of this town, that the enemy would no
doubt proceed up the Potomac, and make the same
demands which he was forced to accede to. The
enemy is now Coining up, and is in full, view six
tulles off. •

New, YORK, AUG. 31.7-The steam boat of this
morning brings no news from our army at Erie,
Dor from the fleet on Lake Ontario.—The
Washington City Mail 'was' received again this

is just handed its, but too late tor extracts. At
Greenleaf's' !'oint, nearly 100 British were acci-
&wally blown, up by powder in a well. British
loss, 200 kiiled,,arid 4 or 500 wounded ; our losS,
15 or 20 killed and 70 wounded. We used cannon,
and they trusted to thebayonetalone.Ninetywonnd-
ed prisoners at Bladensburg. Tomlinson's flotel
and buildingsOc:rth of the capitol burnt, &c.

THE SOLTH.I74qI MAH.s.—A letter from the
Pestniasrer at Baltimore, to a Gentleman in this
city, dated August 29, says---.-" The New York
Mail of the 22d instant crossed the bridge at Bla-
cktislittrg, rJa Weadncsday the 24th, a short time
berore the erknny crossed it. The mail was in a
small 'carriage, with. two horses, and it has, no
`rioubt, been kept out of the, way of the enemy.
On the 25th and 2Gth the mails were sent by inc
to Montgomery COurt House, Md.; on the 27th
and 28th to Fredericktown, and this day by the
old route to Washington City, the enemy having
rt tired to their ships. A re-anion of the Me.m-
burs'of the Executive will take place at Washing,
,ton City immediately."
The Pensyl vauia Banks, it seems, have diScon-
tinned sending out their 'specie. It is better to
stop the drain of cash by choice, while any re-
/1)21.11s in, their vaults, than to let it all go, and
then do it from necessity.
