The enemy's vesses now lie off Alexandria, about
six miles below this city, and by some are supposed
to menace it... We are prepared to meet, and we
hope to repel them.
Private property was in general scrupulously re-
spected by the enemy during his stay in the city, with
the exception of two or•three houses burnt, because
gnus were bred from them on the enemy.
'l'ie officers of Government are now all at this
place, and about resuming, 1. their ordinary course

tary interruption has been given by the sudden in-
cursion of a strong force of the enemy. This event,

,to the proprietors of the city (those excepted schlemiel

'{endless wrath to the human race; and so little have
we of late been acquainted with the blessings of
