We have this morning received New York Papers
to !fie: 4th• ult.' brought to Plymouth by a Spaaish
brik,al;ickarrreed therion Wednesday. Their con.
tents ate interesting. -•
Th. official account of the capure of Washington
is creditable to the character of our troops. The only
act, of.robbery and pilfering of private property are
admitted to hn.ro been perpetrated by their own

countmnen.•
An American-Journalist humourously concludes
the. account of. the capture 'of Washington with—
• "lly Ma b; Sus si I—:IItOSIANISISTRONO, runt
Were $6 Tile Lan WONS of MADISON !*
The Members of the Government have again made
their appearance atWashing,ton, and now that nothing
is kit to defend, they are filling the place with troops.
The expeciati3n is very general throughout Ame-
rica, that MADISON'S speech to Congress on the 19th
Septtmber, will convey his resignation. Rurus Tunics
is mentioned as to be his successor.
A letter appen's in Many c f the Papers, dated
Rf•ckviile, August 27, in which it is stated that Mr.
MADrios h-id at iive..l there, escorted by General MA-
son anti fifty Virginia dragoons. Lodgings were
asked at one house, and positively refused ; he was
received at Another, General MAspN having asked for
iim:e!fand Mr. Bent?y. [Qr.—Was this Mr. BENTLY
Mr. MADISON ?].

AnNtsTneNcr, the Secretary at "War, has been din.
missed, and the New York Papers express a hope that
the PiIfSIDENT and his adherents will soon also retire.

From those papers it would appear that the Ame.
:icons have no hope of success in any quarter. They
expect every day to hear of a large llitish force
11:-.vng attacked and destroyed SaCkett's Harbour.—
Nor do Or y seem to have any resource!, or even
hri•Pe3, Lft : for it is anw admitted, that no loan can
be obtliaed by the Government;—and, in conse-
quence, the different States are attempting to nego-
ci.;te .as for their own separate defence,
How this is to he ifficted it is impossible to conceive;
for all business is it a stand, aati no motley in circu•
'Atkin s even the BarAs of New Ycrk and Philadel-
phia:have stopped all payments in sr:cie, and an at-
tenspt is sniide by some of the merchants to induce ;he
poblic to receive their paper in payments.

ca.APTURE OF ALEXANDRIA,

BY THE BRITISH.

From these P 4.213 we learn that, on the 29th of
August, only four days after Washington fell into
olfrr hands, the town of Alexandria, on the Potomac,
wis occupied 14 the British without any resistance.
T%e public buldings have been destroyed, 411 the
skips and merchandise, including an immense quan-
tily of flour, tobacco, have been declared prize,
and even some vessels which the Amkricans had sunk
are to be raised and delivered to the conquerors.

• From the circumstances connected with the cap.
tore of •Alczandria, we infer that George Town
would be in the possession of our troops in two
cif three days after. The Mayor of the former
Place writes to the Chief Magistrate of the latter,
an ayp.trent self,gratnlation on itccount of the
gwid Nuns :te LAci obtained, and lucre than hiats
ii)at he uili be wise if he folk)** his example, and
m .ke :t6 veil a baq;ain.

The greater part of the newspapers near the scene
properaturus, haying the fear of Admiral Copysmut
before their eye*, h4ve announced that they will not
for some tinta. be published regularly, but only (Kea,:
alonally, 4s eirculustar.ces may. permit.
The stile in which the American Journalists relate
slwir own disasters is roily humorous. They seem
eturt at the practical evid4tce which the result of
(ha movements ref their Government has afforded of
Sl4 we:ars:au and folly of the men who have brought
tha- cointtl into, inch difficulties, They cannot
stain from jig and. aril, in their own way, at the dis.
'cot/Alum- of their doughty CSIVITh and Catos, and
Brutuses, who were to ptrfurm such prodigies. Our
limits prohibit further remarks at present, and we
pqn.rtfer our Iterkciers to such extracts

They could, since they were abandoned by This Go

of that city has informed the Mayor -of this town,
that the enemy would no doubt 'proceed up the Po•

forced to acceed to. The enemy is now coming up,
and is in lull view six miles off."
