napolis, yesterday about noon---It contiru-
Cd near two hours.
On Wednesday last, according TO a re-
QUESTION from the proper authority, the
I.oudon troopers under the command of
Capt. Osburn, and the militia Of The same
county under the command of Cap,s Last
ley ard Means, who had been stationed at
this place by the order of the secretary at
war for the projection and defence of the
town against any attempts of the British
squadron which have lately threatened US
with invasion were relieved from their
military duties, and have returned TO their
families and homes.
The excellent appearance of these men
and the military subordination that existed
among them afforded the best grounded
expectations that in times of need and dan
ger they would distinguish themselves
equally with their brethren at Hampton
They conducted themselves during their
stay here with exemplary propricly; in a
rnanser truly worthy the character of citj-
zen soldiers, and Showed by their patience
and activity they were valuable auxiliaries
to The Alexandria militia and volunteer
companies.
The troopers were escorted out Of town
by the Alexandria horse and the uniform
companies Of the town in truly military
style. The militia returned yesterday, es-
corted by the different uniform companies
of foot.
1t affords US the highest pleasure to
state that during the time CURL London bre-
thren remained here the utmost harmony
and good temper prevailed between them
and the citizens and military of the town
The volunteer companies of the town
are also discharged. On the soldier-like
conduct oftbese companies too much praise
cannot be bestowed.
The house of representatives. yesterday
passed the bill for the additional service OF
government for iel3--They were engag-
ed the remainder of the day on the bill from
the senate, for preventing the use of licen-
ses, SC,
