now occupies and maintains, after the loss Of

CONCORD, IN. H. Aug. 9.


John Collins, a deserter from the army
was shot on the S0th ult, at Mortified,
by a party of citi Gems who pursued him for
the sake of the reward of ten dollars,
which was offered for his apprehension
Though dangerously, and supposed to be
MORALLY wounded, the deserter was chain
ed and brought fifteen miles in a wagon to
this town, where he still remains, and
hopes are entertained of his recovery
The man who shot him has been appre-
hended, examined before a justice of the
peace, and committed to Jail for trial. The
others of the party have not yet been ar
rested.
The Concord Gazette says, that Isaac
Hodgdon, Captain commanding at Stew
artstown. was lately arrested by a civil of
ticer on a process from the Supreme Judi
cial Court of New Hamshire, and was for
chilly rescued by i detachment of the stand
ing army.
1t requires, in this time of war, the vigi-
lance of the friends of our political %institu-
tons to guard that republican principle,
that the military authority mast be Kept
subordinate to the ciUM.

No doubt, at this alarming crisis, any

have this morning reconnoitered the enc

the information that the neighborhood af-
fords. At ten o'clock. A NJ. this day, we
had a full view of their shipping which lay
from Benedict to about s miles below. |
counted % ships, several briggs and some
few small craft, but saw no barges and but
few of them transports or schooners.
The barges and a number of schooners
and three large vessels, tsay frigates) had
proceeded up the river towards Nottingham,
before we got our stand. They have also
a very heavy force marching on this side
of the river towards Nottingham, no doubt
to cooperate with the shipping against
Barnev. Some state the land force at
5000, on the march others at less, and
others again at much more. From the
best information we can get | believe the
whole force landed at Benedict is about
6OoO. Others insist on IL, = but ! think
sir is nearer correct-bu. t less. They
have plundering parties i sery direction
from Benedict for 2 miles n the country.
The distress of the neighborhood is incon-
ceivable.
We left Asuasco on yesterday, 8 o'clock,

have heard that a company of the enemy
with two officers came this day to Mrs.

Notwithstanding the incredibly which
seems to exist at the seat Of government res
pecting it,, there is no doubt, OF the British
having landed In Florida. Col Milton, the
same who signalized himselfin Canada last
sumner infosms US that Just before he left
Fort Jackson lthe lSth) a runner sent to as
certain the strength Of the enemy at Appa-
latchicofa returned with information which
he fully credits, of four thousand mixed
troops being ~there-that more of the same
description were expected-and that all the
lower Indians, amounting to three or four
thousand were decidedly hostile. 1t is much
IL be regretted that in such a state OF Things
the intermediate posts between our from
tier and Fort Jackson should be LETT entire
" defenceless, measures not having been
taken in time to supply their places, and
the North and South Carolina militia refus-
ing to remain a few days longer than their

that private letters have lately been recelv-

and it is supposed that dispatches from him

o'clock. All the enemy's force, say 5000
men, under lieut. gen. Drumm ond and
major gen. Conran, attacked our fort and
intrenchments, and after renewing their
attack four times and being repulsed each
successive time, fore hours, he was forced
to retreat, leaving us ESQ prisoners, with a
number of officers, having from 6 to 700
killed and wounded. Our loss Is killed
and wounded only amongst the former is
captain Williams and lieut.. MDonnel. of
the artillery. The enemy at one time got
possession of one of the bastions. and blew
up our caissons, in which 500 of their "
men were destroyed-our force was about
half the number of the enemy"

o'clock, A. M. They attacked US on each

of the old Fort Erie; which. was regained

slaughter. The enemy's loss in killed and
prisoners is about GOO near 800 killed

DEFENCE OF THE DISTRICT.

The Banks Of Georgetown, washington
and Alexandria, with the exception OF t"o'
have agreed to loan government Two nun
dred Thousand Dollars, for the purpose OF
providing a defence for the district. One
half of this sum is to be appropriated 10
the erection of permanent Notifications up
on the shores of the Potomac. Although
the proposition of this loan, did not come
ostensibly from government there can Do
little doubt, that it was made at their suS-
gestion. If they were unable to raise 'ns
money necessary to the accomplishment OF
this most important purpose, in any otner
way they were certainly right in obtain,
ing it from the Banks of the District ana
the Banks were right in looming it but as
the same time it must be In alarming cir
cumstance to the American people, and q
humiliating one to their rulers. They have
drained the public Golfers of the last cent.
in vain and ridiculous adventures against
Canada, and are already reduced to the
extreme necessity of borrowing money
from the pockets of individuals, to enable
them to defend the Capital of their own
country against invasion !
