COMMUNICATION.

The Editors Of the Baltimore Federal Re-
publican will in due season lay before their
readers and the public, an account Of the un-
paralleled burglary committed upon their Of
flee, and its total demolition, on the night OF
Monday last. This first act of civil war, cha
ractcrised by an attack at once upon the iibcr-
ty of the press, the security Of the domes-
tic asylum, and the right of private property,
it is TOO true was perpetrated by the avowed
friends Of the Executive, apparently in execu-
ton OF the intimation contained in the govern
ment paper to treat as public enemies those
who should remain too independent to surren-
der the constitutional freedom of thinking and
acting, and too proudly tenacious of personal
honor and the laws Of moral obligation, to APP
prove of the worst acts of bad administration.
The statement we have promised, is due to
our country, as affording one more proof, and
that Of no mean significance, of the despotism
which is winding around it, and with the bles-
sings OF Heaven, no material circumstance in
the illustration shall be withheld. Meanwhile,
we beg leave to assure the public, that the pa
per shall be resumed with all convenient
haste, and sent 30 them as usual.
The conductors Of the Federal papers
viii be pleased TO copy the above once or twice,
fer the information of our subscribers.
