We are indebted 70 the politencss of gentleman
just returned from New-London, for the following
communication, which may DO relied on.
! LETT New-LoudoD on Saturday morning at
8 o'clock. There were then two 74's at an
ehor within the Race. Fort Griswold was 10
a state of forwardness, and would be comple,-
ed in few days. About 1900 militia were
under arms in New-Londoh, commanded by
Brigadier General IsHAM. Our frigates re-
niained at anchor above Gales Ferry. A let
ter was received on Friday from ,he Sccreta-
ry Of Wsi to Gov. Smith, desiring him to
retain 500 troops in service, and stating thar
all the expenditures should be reimbursed by
the National Government. In pursuance OF
this request general draft will be made
through the State the ensuing week. The
Poictiers left her anchorage on Thursday,
and did not return until Friday, on which day
Sir I. NJ. Hardy, being then alone, sent
flag CT shore, with letter to Col, BARCLAY,
agent for British prisoners, which was sent 10
Washington. Bfigadier General BvhBEcK
had arrived at New London, and on Friday
issued General Orders, announcing that he
had assumed com mmand of United States mill
itary district No. g. On Friday afternoon the
sch. Eagle, from New-York, prepared with
com5nstibles came down Sound, and miles
frsm the Families discovered the barges Of
that ship making towards her, when the
crew abandoned her and escaped on shore.
From thence they saw the bsrges take pos
session of the sch. and endeavor to bring her
up to the Ramilies, but owing to the force of
the current they were compelled to anchor a.
bout mile from her, when two bsrges went
10 the sch. Immediately after, the an,icipa-
ted explosion took place on board the Eagle,
and not vcs,age remained of the We sscl, or
either OF the barses. conversed with the
captain, pilot, and cnc of the owners of the
Eagle, al OF whom were on board her nn;iI
deserted, and they concur In opinion, THAI
there were from one hundred 10 one hundred
and thirty men on board the Eagle when the
explosion took place; but in the grand object
Of the expedition, the destruction Of the
Families, they were disappointed. All the
vessels they saw were the Ramiics and an
hermaphrodite brig laying off near her, sup
posed to be a prize. The other British YES,
sells came in on Friday evening.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed on
Major General WILLIAMS, of Ncw-London,
for his prompt, indefatigabls, and incessans
excr,lons in the defence of that place. The
malicious reports which have been circulated
of disagreement between the officers Of the
State and tbose Of the United States are en-
tire!y unfounded the greatest harmony aud
confidence subsists between them, and they
seem uni,cd III the determination to defond
TO the last extremity the beloved soil Of their
Native country.

M,IITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The National ln,elligenccr sia:cs, Tat,
&c General Harrison had despatched body OF
mounted men against the posts OF Browns
,swo and Detpsit" We may therefore hnpe
soon to hear of the reoccupauon of Michigan
by the Americans, and Of the capture Of NAL
den. The story Of IN armistice having been
entered into by General Harrison with Proc
tor, is iJie and prcpns,erous. The Inteili-
eonccr gives US to understand that Sackct's
Hsrbor is in complels slase OF dcfsnee, ,hav-
ing 5000 effective ass sssi-Ssl sss'e To- IN
protert;os.

NORFOLK, June ls.

A few days since an English sloop of war
came close under tho sea side OF Cape Henry
and anchored opposite the Windmill. Short
Iy after, she despatched messenger ashore
with very polite letter TO the keeper OF the
Windmill, stating that a great part OF her
crew were sick, among whom were num-
oer of Americans who suffered much for tho
want OF fresh provisions, and requested him
To send on board, Immediately, two lat bceyes
and a couple of sheep. As toe miller could
neither read nor write,it is not to be wonder
cd at II he returned no answer 20 this epistle,
nor troubled hirpself much abou, furnishing
'he requested supply. y.--But on the next day
there came very angry letter from the COM
mander OF the sloop, reproaching the miller
With disrespect in not answering hia former
one, aud threatening, that If the beeves and
sheep were not forthcoming Ill half an hour
hs would send a party Of men ashore and
burn the mill. The honest miller, who by
this time had found out the purpor; OF these
communications, declared he would comply
with no such demand, but very irnprudcntly
ne elected to alarm the country, and call In
the militia 20 his assistance the consequence
was, that these modern Don Quixottes came
ashore and conformable 10 their promise, and
in imitation Of Cockburn, Bcresford & co.
very deliberately set FIRE to the mill, stood by
, il until il was consumed and then rctreated
TO their ship in perfect safety. A few hours
after this aGair, number OF militia anIonnt-
Jog 20 a battalion, assembled and marched TO
the shore, bn, they were too late the ene-
my had weighed and gone oil, but without
beef or mutton!
