The British who burnt Mrs. Thompson'► Ferry-
houses assert, that she had deserted them, leaving
poisoned, spirits in the porch. Colonel Parker, in a
letter to Admiral Clckburne, has denied the charge,
expressing his :;hborrence of so vile an act, and has
received a very polite letter from the Admiral.

rated 44 guns, but will carry 50.

and every preparation taken to en►►ble this strong di-
vision to take the field at a moment's warning.—
Major-General Smith has the command, and is very
active in seeing that the troops, their equipments,
and supplies ot every kind, are in the best order pos-
sible. How much they love the war, and are dis-
posed to undergo its fatigues, its privations, its dan-
gers, and its expenses, time, thereat teller of secrets,
will inform us.

A letter from Baltimore to a gentleman in Phila-
delphia gives the following description of some of the
loudest talking, and, in civil strife, the bravest acting
heroes of that city To avoid militia duty and
escape from danger, it is an absolute fact, that seve.
ral hundreds of foreigners, chiefly Irishmen, have re-
ported themselves to the Marshal as aliens, and re-
ceived his certificate to that effect, alledging, that if
t.und in arms against their King, they may be pu-
nished for treason ! Among this number several old
citizens of Baitimore are included, some of them mete
of property, who have been exercising the privilege
of voting for fifteen years !"
