WAsHINcToN CRY. July 81.
FROM RFIOtV


Travellers yesterday reached the city,
bringing information that the enemy had
landed detachment of men at Leonardtown,
in st. Mays county. the numbernot known
or accurately estimated some say two thou.
sand. some two or three hundred. The last
estimate is certainly most Correct. and pos
sibly over-rated. We have not heard that
they met with any resistance there. Leo.
nardtown is about sixty fi7e miles from this
place.
The enemy landed a piundering party Of
about two hundred men at Huntingdon OH
Sunday, as we learn, VINO deliberately en-
ployed themselves in stealing the tobacco,
&c. whereabouts. The villainous system Of
private depreciation and predatory warfare
carried on by the enemy iii the Deighboring
waters this spring, will reflect eternal dis
grace on his naval character. Nothing es-
capes him of private property. from the to-
baccoshouse to the hen roost. The most
surprizing circumstance attending mis- incur
sions on the shores Of the Maryland rivers
is, the little resistance he has met with, and
the impunity with which he has SO far been
permitted to invade the soil, in country
peopled by perhaps from 30 TO so souls to
the square mile. The population of any two
or three plantations, if armed and faced to
the enemy, might in many cases have repel-
led marauding parties which have revased
whole neigdoorhood.
o. A few Torpedoes, judiciously planted
in the Potomac and Patuxent, might, We
fancy, rather impede the enemy's furtive
exploits. Nat. INF.

was probability of a peace resulting from

as, that ifany armisticc was concluded, the
