ATTACKSat tie EASTWARD.


We learn by gentleman who left Bath on
Bdlwark, landed on Monday last at the mouth
of Sheepscut river and obliged about 40 militia,
who attempted TO prevent their landing, to re
treat. A held-piece was taken and thrown
into the river. The enemy then advanced
or 8 miles, when they met about $50 militia,
and were compelled III their turn to retreat.
They fastened to their boats and embarked.
They afterwards rowSd to Kennebcck river
and fired few shot at the fort, wounding, as
was said, the officer and one or two of the men.
No vessels had been burnt in the harbors in
tlat vicinity, but in the ohiEg bargcs had
taken a sloop from Cambden with coffee, & a
sloop from Portland, bound eastward, and Sc
veTal other small vessels. II was presumed
the British lost some men IN these affairs.
A letter from Wiscasset, dated DIST IN
slant, says" have only time to inform you,
that six barges entered CIR river yesterday
afternoon, and came up as far rs Fowle 5
Point, where they met with some resistance
from Our guard. They then passed INTO Ken
nebec river, and attacked Georgetown fort,
but were repulsed-Ihe 1t. Of the fort was
wounded"
Another letter from Wiscasset, Of same
date, states, that the British barges yesterday
made their appearance within four miles Of
WisCasset, and disiodged a detachment Of mi
litIa, and took a field piece from them and
that there were seven companies Of militia on
duty at Wiscassct.
