On Monday 18th inst. a British squadron
under com. Hardy, consisting of , Ships, 4
byigs, and ? schooncrs. made their appearance
off PASSPORT, standing i'll under press of sail
with fresh breeze, and in half an hour came
too off the town. and sent in flag with de-
mand to the officer of the fort to Surrender
the reply is said to have been given, E" that
the fort should be defended against any force
whatever"-that the British gave ten minutes
for reconsideration of that determination !;
the officer in the mean time ascertaining that
the inhabitants were not disposed to Contend
against the British forces, ordered his flag to
be struck, and his men, said to be about 20,
with the L. 5. property, were taken-private
property, (Very ''Gtnj'gliy3 in this case, was

lately erected in front of the town, would pro-
badly be astonished to hear that the whole
was completed in somewhat less than fort

ter has assumed the command OF this post, he
has been interchangeable in his exertiens to
place 1t in the best possible state of defence-
His zeal, interchangeable industry and talents,

FROM THE ENEMY BEIO1v

We have had, for two or three days past,
reports as various as the features of those who
circulate them, respecting the movements of
The enemy. All that can be relied on is, that
the vessels of the enemy have been pursuing
their accustomed vocations of plumber and "a
pane on both SIDES of the Potomac. The mill
tia, under Cen Stuart, had a few long shot
at them on Saturday or Sunday, and are sup
posed to have Killed some men IN the barges
The last exploit we heard of, was stealing so
hhds. ottobacco from warehouse at the head
OF st. Clements bay. We had authentic in
formation last evening, that every vessel of
the enemy had gone down the river below
blackstcne's Island, probably in search of
plumber elsewhere. .Nat. Llt.
