" On the ED | dispatched seve-
raj confidential friends to reeonaoi-
ire about the village of st. Regis
they returned with the information
that the enemy had landed in the vii
lage. and that We might expect a visit
from them Immediately
number was stated by no one at less
than 40. a3d from that to 500: the
most certain information fixed on
the former number. It was also be-
LEVIED that the enemy were deter
mined to make a stand at TINT place
! and would speedily increase their
number. This determined me to
make an immediate attempt TO take
out those already landed, tse'srs a.
ny reinforcement could arrive. l
ordered the men to he furnished two
days ratiOns ofprovisions, with dou-
BILE rations OF whiskey =; and at fl at
night we marched with the utmost
silence, that we might give as little
alarm as possible. We took cir
cuitons rout through the woods. and
arrived at Gray's Mills at half past
5 A. n. We found here boat,
small canoe. and two cribs of boards,
Capt. Lyons company crossed in
the beat. Capt. M'Niel's in the ca
noe, and the remainder, with our
horses, crossed on the cribs. We
arrived within half a mile Of the vii
lage at 5 O'Clock, where being con-
cea!ed from the enemy by little
rise Of ground, we halted to recon
nyitre, refresh the men. and make
our disposition for the attack. which
WAS arranged in the following or
der;
Capt. Lyon was detached from
the right, with orders to take the
road running along the bank of the
81. Regis river, with directions to
gain the rear Of Capt. Mountaigny's

also securing the enemy's boats. Tex
pected to have been stationed there
to prevent their retreat. With the
remainder of the force l moved on
In front and arrived within $50 yards
OF Mountaisny's house, when found
by the firing. that Capt. Lyon was
engaged at the same instant, dis
covered a person passing in front,
and ordered him to stand but not
being obeyed, ordered capt. Hig-
bie's first platoon TO fire, and the
poor fellow soon fell. He provedto

The object contemplated to be accomplish
ed by the above scheme, is emlncntly emu"
tied to the favor and patronage OF the GU"
zens of Baltimore. The establishment OF
Medical College will unquestionably have
beneficial influence on the general literary
character of our city on it perhaps may be
hereafter engrafted the other Colleges, and
thus an university BIO constituted.
1t will however give us other important
advantages-it will promote spirit OF IN
vestigation in the faculty, it will induce
young men of talents to establish themselves
in our city, and thereby permanently secure
to this community the best aid that can be
afforded by the medical profession 1t may
also be proper to remark. that Ii this schooi
should prosper, as is anticipates, i VIII
cause large sums to be expended annually
in this city, which would otherwise be DIS
bursed in other places
We presume that those gentlemen VINO
are anxious for the advancement OF the IN
terests of Baltimore, will give lis their sup
port on the above considerations.
20 those who are inclined toproht them
selves at the SAME time that they encourage
us-we confidently say, that no scheme OF

hove has eysr been offered in this country

contracted for the sale of a sufficient DuInber

RUMOUR i,I

A letter has been received this morning
by gentleman in town from the Eastward,
which, as We are informed, states that an ac-
ton was fought IT sea BY the United States
frigate and sloopof war Wasp. with two En-
giSii frigates, which were captured and
brought into the Delaware. The letter also
Saws that the British lost 200 men and the
Ameridrns 100. Capt. Porter is stated to
have had both legs shot off. BY the Eastern
mail of to- morrow morning or the Pilot Stage
from Philadelphia of this evening we shall
perhaps learn the accuracy of the report
