MiIIMRE OF THE FRIENDS AND ADVOCATES f)i,.

FRACE BY A LAWLESS MOB.

The city has been iii a'state of agitkion and
anxiety 'since yesterday • Morning, at the inteili-
cr :"w ee of another and, a more fatal mob in the de-
voted city of BaltiMore.
The first .riot took place on I%Tonday night, be-
tween 12 and 1 o'clock, and Mr. Hanson, and his
friends were, placed in prison as a place of security
at about 8 o'clock the next morning 3 in the after-
noon the Whig was published, and in that Paper
the villain- who eonducts it made an attempt, and
alas ! with two much success, to excite the mob
to re-assemble and assassinate the gentlemen in.
confinement. His words were "So help
• ,
Heaven, as our sincere opinion is, that since a
band of murderous traitors -did provoke the peo-
ple, the people ought to hal e rased their garrison_
to the ground, and put them, every man, to
death." Accordingly, as soon as the darkness
of night arrived to conceal their persons, the mob
did actually re-assemble ; the horrible crimes
they then 'Committed will be seen in the second
letter.

Baltimore, July 28, 1812.

" DEAR Sin,—We have bad a very serious
night. The-Federal Republican was again pub-
lished yesterday, which I send you. About nine
o'clock the -mob collected at Mr. Hanson's !utie
in SOuth'Charles-street, with the intentiou of de-
stroyinv it. The Editors, it appears, had antici-
pated j'the attack, had removed all the fur:hturei
and had collected a number of their friends from.
the,federal counties, among whom were Generals
Lee and Lingan of Virginia and Georgetown.---
The mob could make no impression on the house,-
only breaking the windows with stones. Every
time they attacked they were fired upon, and two
were killed, and a number wounded: Towards
morning about 40 infantry and 20 horsemen- ei-
sembltd and lined the street in front of the house,
at which time the greatest part of the noble dc-
fenders of the house issued out in the rear, while,
thOse, more immediately concerned remained, and
told. General Striker and ,the Mayor that they
Were willink to deliver themselves up to the civil
authority, provided their safety was guaranteed
by the General and the Mayor. This was done,
and the troops being formed into a hollow square,
they opened the door and were marched to jail -4--
' About the 'time the troops assembled, the mob
had procured a four-pounder to fire on the
hots c,. but were prevented from using it by t.e
military: I am afraid the mobbing will not end
here.

" * The following is a list of the gentlemen
who went to the prison : • .
"Win. Sckroeder, John Thompson, Gen. rry
Lee, (of Virginia), Wm. 8.. Bend, Otho Sprigg,
Henry. Kenned‘,-, Charles Kilgore, Henry Ninson,
,John E. Hall, Geo. Winchester, Peregrine War-
field, Alex. C. Hanson (Editor), Geo. Richards,
Edw. o..vontr, David Holtman, Horatio Biglow,
Ephraim Gaither, -Wm. Gaither, Jacob Schley,
Mark U. Pi*igle, Daniel aurray, Richard" S'.
Crabb, James Ling-an."

" Baltimore, July 29, 1812.

" DEAR SIR,—We have had another dreadful
night. I wrote you yesterday that Mr. Hanson
and •his friends were conducted to jail by the mili-
tary at their own request, upon their safety from
the fury of the mob being guaranteed by the Mayor
and Gerh Striker. The --troops were. ordered out
for the protection of ;the prison, and to keep the
peace of the city, but to their eternal disgrace
they refused. About 9 o'clock, P.M. the triob
forced time jail, and fell with the fury sof cannibals
on 26 unarmed prisoners, and beat them with
clubs until no signs of life remained, when they
left them, thinking of
had fully completed the
bloody deed. Through the mercy of God, they all,
in a short time, showed signs of life, except Gen.
rw Lian, who never recovered, and now lies dead
in the jail. Yonr friend, Mr. John Thompson,
was reserved fOr a public spectacle. After beat-
ing him enough to have killed an -ox, they put
him into a cart, and rolled him in tar and learkurs,
set the feathers in a blaze, and at lest lodged him
in the watch-house.—They- still keep him con-
fined, *his tar and feathers on him. The
Mayor and otherinfluential characters of the party,
have endeavoured to get him from them, but with.
out effect, and it is expected they will finally fnur-
der him. Gen. Harry Lee* is dead, and there is
little hopes of ;t.lie lives of a number of others,—
Mr. Hanson escaped the best of any ; he, with
three or four others jumped amongst the mob in
the lobby of the prison and escaped.—General
Linger' was a man of great influence in his county :
Gen. ,Lee is also much esteemed in Virginia,
and I should not he surprised if their friends paid
our fellspOint gentry a Hilt."

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS FROM ANOTHER LETTER,
DATED BALTIMORE, JULY 29.

Two Regiments were put under arms and
continued so until 7 o'clock this morning, when
the mob dispersed, and the military were dis-
Missed. This calm was but a prelude to a more
dreadful Storm, At eight o'clock (evening) the
mob re-assembled in. greater numbers, cut down
the prison doors; entered, and with clubs at-
tempted to kill the prisoners. J. Thomson was
beaten and supposed to ,be dead—he was then
dragged with a rope until they could obtain a cart,
on which they put him, covered With tar and
feathers, and conveyed him thus about the city.
Their barbarity did not stop here. They occa-
sionally Olt his pulse, and when .they discovered
the least' indication of life, they again beat his
head until life was almost extinguished. This
work continued until two o'clock, when they were
fully persuaded to lodge him in the watch-house,
when I saw him. He had then come to, and
asked for a drink of water, which was.giVen to
him. The mob dispersed with a determination
to meet again this morning at 9, for the purpose

..Gen. Lee was, perhaps, the most distinguished partizan
officer in the Atnelican war. He commanded Le 's
and he it was that formed the gtillant enterprise that toc..k

Lai services to his country, tie has had his brains heat vut

"of tormenting this uo4r man a little longer. All
I have ever read of the French does not equal
what I saw
_and heard last night. Such expres-
sions- as these were current—" We'll root out the
damri'd tories"--:" We'll drink their Wood"—
" We'll eat their hearts."
I have just heard that the mob are out, and
haVe got. poor Thoinson again. I understand they
intend to seize again upon the others who were
beaten, but survive, and with arc now in the
Hospital and not expected to live until

fact that the criminal court which was in session

Extract of a letter fr Baltimore, dated July
28th, to a Gentleman in Philadelphia
" The Reign of Terror and Proscripton has
raised its hideous form once more among u---.TI4e
first assault on the Federal Republican office,-was
but a farce compared to -the one of last niglrt.
The cause of offence was the , re--appearance yes-
terday of the Federtil Repvblican.' The paper it-
self is printed in Georgetown, District of Colum-
bia ; the Editors, however, took anotlice in thiS
city, from whence it was to be distributed among
the subscriber's here. The Editors haying- receiv-
ed information in the course of, the day, that'an
attack would be made in the night to demolish the.
building and its contents, they aceordtingly pre-
pared themselves to defend their persons and pro-
perty. About 50 of their friends joined them,
armed and otherwise acaorared, .About 10. o'clock
the mob made their appearance, and commenced
the attack by throwing a volley of brickbats at the
windows, to which no rettirnvs made from with-
in. At length they:attempted to force the da!ir
of
the building, when those. within desired them to
desist, at the same sime firing as a-wanniug, three
pistols without ball. The assailants then burst
.open the door, whenthoae within were ordered to
fire, and three or four of the ringleaders were .in-
stantly levelled with the ground, and about thirty
others wounded., hiaving beeti defeated in this in-
stance, they bad recourse to the gun-house of one
of the artillery companies, from whence they took
a nine-pounder, which they loaded, and placed
opposite the house, and were only deterred from
firing it by a troop of horse making their appear-
ance, when a • compromise being made with the
defendants; and a few of their friends without,
that they would go to jail and hold themselves
amenable to the laws for what they had done, ac-
cordingly. about 8 o'clock, twenty of our most re-
spec table citizens were conducted to jail for safety,
under, a guard of soldiers, and amidst the shout-
ings and joyful acclainations.of as infuriated a set
-:of demagogues, ,as ever disgracell the city of Paris
under Robespierre. They have threatenedSo pull

BALTIMORE, JULY 29.-,--!" I scarcely know bow
to begin to inform you of the horrid scene,. in
.vvilich this city is at present involved. Since the
destruction ,of the office of the Federal Republi-
can, that paper . has not been published until
Moilday last. It was then issued by,C. Hanson
and-J. 11. Heath. About 8 o'clock in the evening.
a mob began to assemble (about 30, mostly boys
under 17 years of age), and to break the windows
of the house from whi,ch. the papers were distri-
buted to the subscribers in Baltimore. About,
10 o'clock, they were joined' by many more.-7
They then broke the doors, and attempted to
enter the house. There were about 70 armed
persons within,' who immediately fired upon those
who, were entering-the building, and killed 'three
and wounded four others. The mob then armed
themselves, brought a six:;p6under to bear upon
the house, fired into the building with their mus-
kets, and wounded; one Man in the'breast.—This
was 12 o'clock, and the. alarm bell did not ring
till 2. Two troops of . horse then assembled.—
To them the men in the house, surrendered, on
condition that they should_betaken to the prison
unmolested. :A company of infantry were called
out to assist in guarding them; but it was with
diffiCulty they were conveyed to the jail. The
mob broke all the furniture in. the house which
had been thus surrendered ; broke the frames of
the do6rs and windows ; tore down the chimnies ;
and then marched to the prison, with the inten-
tion to murder the prisoners."
