11E LATEST T ROM BALTIIIOIM—The publication
of the Baltimore papers was suspended on the 27th,
and by a mutual arrangement was not to be re-cc/m-
-ule:iced during the impending invasion of that city.
The pr::iters, however, promise occasionally hand-
bills, whenever any events of consequence shall trans-
pire. The following extracts are from a hand-bill,
published from the Telegraph Office, Aug. 27:
4s General Winder arrived here this morning.
We have heard a number of verbal relations of
the late transactions at and near the city of Washing-
ton, but none directly from any person who was in
the city at the time the enemy took possession of it.
Such account as we can give, can theiefore only be
considered as an abridgement of part of the reports
of the day.

" We have stated the conjectures of those per-
sons who returned from the late scene of action near
Bladensburg, that the British force was about 9000.
Other, and perhaps more correct estimates, wads by

some of our officers, rate theni at 6060, which agreei

with the account givers by t e 13rtish officers:
14 The w! o:e force under General Winder is eiti;
niated at about 5000; but we do not state thii as

coming from any source which we cats say is cor-
rect. These troops were juJiciously dispose.' between
Bladensburg (where the enemy must necessarily pass)
..nd the capital ; so as to give the most effects' .1 of

position and annoyance to the enemy at their ap
proach. The Baltimore artillery were so statioacd

as to bear upon the !midge over the eastern branch at
Illadensburg ; and die enemy marching in column,

suffered severely from their galling fire, Which w.is
kept up with great spirit until the near approach of
the column made it necessary for the artillery to re-

treat, which they did in good order, taking with them
.their cannon, except one piece, the carriage of which

being rendered unserviceable, they spiked the gun,
and left it on the ground.
The sth Regiment of Baltimore volunteer in.
fantry, consisting of about 500, like the brave artil-
lerists, maintained their ground with went gallantry,
until tote enemy, with very superior numbers, had
out-flanked and nearly surrounded them ; nor did
they then spew any disposition to retreat, until com-
manded to do so by the officers. Not so the Militia'
under General Stansbury ; a part of them gave way
at the first fire, and the General's exertions to rally
them proved unsuccessful. Of the conduct of the two
regiments of regulars we have not heard any particu-
lars; they were stationed between the Baltimore
troops and the corps under Commodore Barney, which
was stationed nearest the city, on the pound near the
Capitol.

" The troops under Commodore Barney, amount-
ing to about 600, were those which lately manned the
fi tilla ; they had with them the guns from their ves-
sels, mounted, and fought with a degree of bravery
never excelled. 7 eir rapid and well-directed fire
proven very destructive to the enemy; but they were
overpowered by a vast superiority of numbers. Their
gallant commander received two wounds, one of them
severe but not dangerous, and was taken prisoner.—
We understand he received very polite attention from
Admiral Cockburn, who complimented him highly
onthe gallant behaviour of himself and his men.
" The contest with the troops under Comtmclore
Barney was close to the city of IYa3hington, su i ter-

urinated the opposition wh;ch the enemy met with in
their approach to the capital. Of the loss on either
side during the action, rend retreat of our troops, we
cannot speak with accuracy. On our side it WAS com-
paratively small ; tery few w, re killed ; the number
of wounded was greater, but none of then are cca-
sidered dangerous.
It is tolerably well ascertained, that the whole
force under General Winder was much inferior in
number to the veteran troops which oppsed him ;

.311t1 when it is consid:rei that his men hid never be-
line been in battle, and that his low in killed and
waunclud was trifling when compared with the ene-
my'b, we have great cause to congratulate our fel-
w citizens on the result of the action.

" The British army was halted on the plain near
the capital. Central Ro,c, Al.niral Cockburn, and
some other Officers, with about 150 men, entered
the city. On passing a house neat the Capitol, in
which Mr. Gallatin formerly resided, a shot from a
window, said to be fired by a French barber, killed
the horse on which General Ross rode. This impru-
dent act caused the dcszructinn of the house and ad.
joining buildings. They prozecded to destroy the
Capitol, the President's house, and all the other pub-
lic buildings, except the house containing the patent
office.

" They also destroyed the cannon fuundery ; the
Navy-yard, with the new vessels building there, bay-
ing been previously destroyed by our own troops.

The press and printing ntAtor:als of the office of the
National Ini.-iiiiiencer were taken.

" Thus af Ler being upwards of two years at war,
so very pro% Ment have been our rulers of the general
defence committed to their care, th:et a small force of
six thousand men have landed on our shore, and in
one short week taken possession of the seat of Govern-
ment of the United States."
Tux NEXT OILTICT OF TUE ENZIIY.—We have every
reason to expect the next object of the British forces
now in the Chesapeake will be, after finishing their
work in that neighbourhood, to destroy the ships In-
dependence and Constitution, in Boston harbour; the
ships United States, Macedonian, and Hornet, at of
near New London; the seventy-four and Congress'
frigate at Portsmouth. Which of the abow-men
tioned places will first be attacked, it is utterly im-
possible to ascertain 1 but that one or other of them
will be visited in the coarse of a few weeks, we think
very prJbable. Does it not then behove us forthwith
to be prepared to meet them at either of these roints,
and convince them that we are determined not to per-
mit them to deal out general testruction upon us
without at least endeavouring to avert it ? Let u;
then immediately be up and doing, always recollect-
ing that caution is the parent of security.
It is reported, that the frames of the two frigates
that lately came out from England, are preparing at
Kingston for the Lake ; one of which, it is said, will
be launched next week.
A New York Paper says, " In the present circum-
stances of this district, our Readers will find a suffi-
cient apology for the kaatieu of to-day's paper. A
single object at this time occupies all hands and
hearts."
