THE ARMY.—Major LAMBERT, Aid-de-camp

rived this week at the Tavistock Hotel, Covent-

.Eclipse, which
convoyed the India fleet recently arrived from the
Cape.
JOHN SHEARM.tN, Esq. Inspector-General ;of
Barracks; Captain.Anams, of the.'Blst, and Lieu-.
tenant DAwE, of the 16th Regiment,: are arrived
at Jersey.
HOLMAN and his daughter arrived at Halifax,
NovaScoti%, on the 25th ult. after a passage of.
seven weeks. They were to. proceed to New
York immediately, under the most promising
assurances of a ,favourable reception, notwith-
standing the critical. situation between this coun-
try and America.
Robberii.--A daring attempt at robbery was made
on .Sunday evening on Stickney Bar Green, Lin-
colnshire. As Mr-. W. Blades, miller, of that
town, was returning home on horseback, from
Alford, in passing through the gate at the above-
mentioned place, about eight o'clock,•he was ac-
costed by a man in grey, Jacket; apparently in dis-
tress,. having neither shoes nor stockings, and
Who craved charity of him in the Irish accent.—
Mr, B. not much pleased with his appearance
or his manner, excused himself-by saying he had
no change and rode on. His new acquaint- •
ance, however, not wishing thus suddenly to lose
ight of his object, gave a loud cough, as a signal
to 'some friends whO were lying snag within hear-
ing, 'and Mr. B. had not proceeded 200 yards, when
another manstarte l forth, and immediately present-
ing a pistol to hist breast deManded his money, in
a tone which said be would not be denied„ Mr. B.
fortunately had a large stick under his arm
,in _the
inside cif his coat, and pretending to feel for his
pocket-book, he drew oat this trusty weapon, and
struck either the arm of, the fellow, or the pistol
•which he held in his .band, (Mr. B. is not certain
which), when the pistol went off under his
horse's belly.. Mr: B. then put spurs to his horse,
which, frightened by the report of a pistol, needed
but little goading, and galloped. off with him at
full speed. A second pistol was fired after him,
but happily also without, effect. A whistle was
then blown by the disappointed footpad, and
was immediately answered by a third person a little
farther on the road which. Mr. B. was pursuing.—
He, however, finding his way thus beset thought
it advisable to quit the turnpike7road, and pro-
ceed along Stickney Fen-side until he reached
Sibsey, and got safely home without farther moles-
tation. This daring attempt, i* which it would
appear there were so many perpetrators, together
with the robbery and mutilation of Serjeant Reed,
which happened a short time since, are indeed
alarmiAg facts, which call for the most vigilant
attention of the Police.

AMERICA,

NEW Vora'AND HALIFAX PAPMS:

FROM TLIEPEDF.RAL RPITBLICAN, AUGs. 5.

THE RAPID DESCENT.

It appears that, from recent accounts, not more,
Than 1000 men are collected 'fear Albany, for the
grand invasion which has been threatened, and
preparing for six months. At this rate, it would
cost sore labour to a'military arithmetician, who
should understand to calculate when. the liberty -
'of the seas. will tv ewiquered the 'Heights of
aibrahant. •

We' -have no expectation of an advantageous
result from General Hull's expedition. His re-
gular force is too small, and the army is too badly
supplied, to promise success against Maiden.
It is characteriStic of the men who have pre-
cipitated •this .var, that the British should have
tircuitously.obtain-A much earlier information of
the declaration than General Hull, and taken their
measures accordingly. • •

49HNSON, the guilty Mayor of Baltimore, the
'perfidious betrayer of the brave, the reproach of
Magistracy, has called the City Councils together,
in order to obtain an 'e3,;.ulpatory, statement of
facts in his favour, and that of Straker, his col-
kague in perfidy and dishonour. it may readily
be foreseen what kind of statement this will be,
uten it is remembered, that A1141'11)01) retains the
sovereign power in Baltimore ; that the persons
appointed to draw it up are nearly all notorious
tor hsorganizing prffneipies, and that the number
includes a fugitive from Irdand.
, As the club are clothed with powers to increase
tbeir,inembers, we would adviSe them to call in
Straker as 'well as the Mayor, that both may,have
principaLshare in the drudgery of white-wash-
ing themselves, without laying the but-then alto-
gether upon others.

PROCLAMATION.

The reliance General Lee placed in the hOnour
of General Struker, originated in the feelings ,he
supposed one Officer of the RevolutiOn could not
l alp entertaining for another. Alas ! he did not
know the stuff of which the leading Baltimore
Democrats are made. *Truth, homiur, and faith
ale by then) laughed to scorn. When force 'can-
Lot r,;aCh the victims, cool deliberate smiling per-
fidy, t=i--!s. place. Such men, whilst they .are

ess of the opinion of'the worthy. The .sacrice.

not safe. .Meatiwhile let him prepare for the ma-
inconveniencies which must ensue, from a
deliberate breach of faith, which has cost others
r,o dearly in 'life, feeling, and property: Well

Inane, compared with Struker, JohnsonP and

mode in which ti,ey were perfi.'iousl. immolated.
Their story wilt descend to posterity in details,
Which will affect the. heart and startle.
(Avenged their sufferings must be, by the justice
Hof man or dispensations of heaven.

It cannot be 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 ()pi-
little navy could afford. This, .in the early part
of hostilities, would-have been of moment to the
returning vessels, which, froin the course of cir-
cumstances, were unsuspicious of danger. As
things have been managed, Commodore Rodgers
ss driving about-the ocean in quest of British cbn-
'toys whir% he cannot meet, and leaving our trade
a Prey to every petty gun-vessel. But, if he had
been so successful as to capture as many vessels as
be could man, the whole amount would be only
equal to a small proportion of what this unjusti-
fiable 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
is 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 un-
der his command. If the danger from the superi-
ority of British naval force were less striking, the
interval which has elapsed' without hearing, from
hitu is foreboding.
Deep is the interest which every friend to -his
Country must feel in the preservation of the slen-
Per means of maritime defence which we- have
:been allowed by our AdMinistration to possess
equally valuable are the liberty and welfare of so
marry Officers of the first promise-and connection,
-"Is our public vessels contain. Bat 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 fppropriate a dollar for naval pur-
louses.-

We have seldom seen this subject placed upon
its true 'footing. The present posture -of 4f.airs
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 sa-
vages, in like manner as the sea-coast is liable to
the annoyances of the British ernizers. Both re
quire protection, and why should theinterror
tiers be alone provided for ? Ought not every
-alember, connected with the Atlantic interests,
'to have checked the gratification of the Western
interests, till full justice had been awarded to the
People she represents ? As the matter at present
stands, the maritime people are to pay all, fight
WI, and lose all.

.`i THE MAYOR OF BALTIMORE, DATED AUG. 0.1 ,
*Whereas a disposition has manifested itself A
the part of seine of our misguided citizens, to
d.sturb the peace of our city, by a disregard of,
411 d Open omosition to its laws, and whereas it

is belies-red that the prothoterS of tliis‘cti*iftteil
conduct Are so few in number, that if not coati:
tenanced by others, who are in fact. Only spec
tators, they would desist from such misconduct.
Now,: therefore, T 'am induced to. ,issue this my.
proclamation, calling upon , all
,well-disposed
peaceable'citizens, who are not in the employ of
,the civil or 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 retain at hOme all their
apprehOces, servants, and children ; in doing 'so
'they will consult their own safety, as well as con-
tribute.to,the preservation of peace ; for as effica-
cious Means arc adopted to disperse all assemblies
of the people,' and summarily puhish
,the riotous
and ill-disposed, thoso who arc in the streets only
as spectators, will subject themselves to the dabber
of suffering with the guilty.

GEORGE TowN, AuG. 7.---The providential es-
cape and recovery of Mr. Hanson from his woundS,
have excited pious gladness in our hearts which
no language can express. The joy occasioned is
heightened by the perusal of 1i letter.from him to
a friend; holding out the expectation of his soon
resuming a part in the direction of this Jonrnal:—
After the. scenes which have passed in review be-
fore us,who can doubt the fervour to the devotion
of the'cause of justice, Hefty, and maukind,which
warms the bosom,of the man whose wrongs and
sufferings in the cause of liberty and virtue, have
noth:en surnassed for ages.
