WAsHINcroN CITY. June 90.
THE ENEMY AGAIN.

About three o'clock yesterday morning
an express reached this city from the Pa
tixsnt. bringing authentic intelligence that
the enemy were again ascending that ri
yer, in twelve or fifteen barges, and had
arrived as high as the village of Benedict.
The express brought letters to the Secre-
tary of War from gentlemen at Noting
ham requesting assistance, In compliance
with this request, instructions were imme-
diately issued to Gen. Van Ness, and in an
hour the necessary orders were distributed.
II gave US much pleasure TO witness the
same degree OF promp,itude and alacrity
ON the present occasion, as have heretofore
distinguished the militia of this dlstrict.-
At ten O'clock the fine companies Of
Georgetown Artillery aud Rificmen under
neir respective Captains Peter and StulI
she Georgetown Dragons, the troop
of Capt. Thornton of Alexandra, and that
of Capt Caldwell Of this city amounting
in all TO about two hundred and eighty men
were in complete readiness to march. and
soon after departed for the Patuxent. the
whole under the command OF Major Geo.
Peter.
We learn that the enemy have pursued
the same system of barbarous warfare. that
was commenced last summer under the no.
torious Cockburn. They have burnt MANY
dwellings and plundered number of fami,
lies OH the shores of the Patuxent.
The force which marched hence yester.
day morning. is. in conjunction with the
troops already in that neghborhood, deem.
ed adequate to stop the progress of the in
cendiaries ard drive them back but If not.
there are hL .dreds of other brave men in
this district who are willing to march, at an
hours notice, to the aid of their fellow ci-
tizens.

uNpARALLELEDo SERMON /.

We have been politely favored by a gentle
man recently from Halifax, where he has lately
been detained as hostage, with Halifax
newspaper, containing an advertisement for a
new edition of Parson Parish's Fast-Day Ser
mon, for 1918, then printing at Halifax, toge-
Their with the Sermon itself. We had prepar-
ed the advertisement, and the preface of the
British edition of the sermon, for publication in
this paper, but the pressure Of other matter has
compelled us TO omit them with several other
articles, till our next. In the British paper, the
outrageous production is very appropriately
styled can unparalleled Political Sermon. "--In
his preface, the ediicr says, this sermon

The Proclamation, inviting British. adherents

freedom and prosperity, copy of which we
this day give to our readers, IS probably the
same we noticed a short time since as having
been promulgated at Bermuda, information Of
which we received from an American recently
prisoner there We are disposed TO give as
wide a circulation to this document as in our
power, ardentiy hoping that those to whom it is
addressed will accept its benignant terms, and
speedily, relieve themselves from the tyranical
yoke OF the Frenchified Madison, & his Frenchi

shall be supplied. by making their wants known,
