we perceive, and are greved to saw it
that the grossest and vilest ISLANDERS are cir
culatng IN some parts of the United States,
III relation to the militia generally in this Dis
f'fct, ON the late invasion by the enemy. The
greatest injustice is thus sharpened with the
most thoughtless cruelty, and directed against
| body OF men who not only did their duty on
the late occasion, but never have omitted, nor
ever>will fail to do their duty whenever their
country requires their services, and who add
ded to the modification of participating the
blame and shame of the fall of The CITY. have
to lament much general and particular loss
iron, that misfortune. We should be more
explicit, were it not that we hear that our
municipal authorities are about in public
manner to vindicate the conduct of them
selves and brethren against their caiunuia-
tors.

We understand late letter has been rec,i-
ved by this government from Vice Admiral
Cochrane, stating, that he has no authority to
enterupon any Kind of discussion relative to the
points contained in MIR. Monrocs to him Of
the 9th (already pubished); that there does
not appear to be any hope that be shall be
authorised to recai his general order, refer
red to i'll his letter to Mr. Monroe OF the 18th
OF August, also published and that until he
receives instructions from his government, the
measures adopted by him will be persisted i'm,

Owing to the cXtorlion OF avaricinus per-
sons, who probably take advantage of the in
creased consumption cccaSioned by military o.
fefatons, many articles of provisions and IA
nnly use are now at u price in this city, which

the prices are generally known. With this
view, we publish the fact, that bacon hams
are selling at thirty cents her A.-huttcr at 80
and e2a cents common dipt candies at one
Ihrd Of a dollar and many other articles
at prices proportionably exuravagallt. 10.
