they now lie at anchor opposite the town.
The enemy's ships anchored few miles
below the light; aud although not III sigh
this afternoon, still it is presumed they are
at no great distance. We are making
prepara ions for serious attack. Two
regiments of militia (tne Sd and 2oth) are
in town. We are nos placing number of
heavy Cannon on Grotor SIDE (at Fort Girls
wold). One of two things will be done by
the enemy, viz. sufficient number of $hips
stationed here to prevent ours gcirg out, ~
force sufficient to take them in the harbor
We calculate on The i&tter

IN defending the town. ne condo of the

So important a part OF vrr navy is an OBJ

consideration that it is chiefly formed ot the
Macedonian and the irigate by whom size
was captured. The town is not only alarm
