look OUT FOR SPIES,

II Is animpression now very general, that
the fall ofthis city may be ascribed to the
facility with which spies and traitors car
ried on their operations, even within 4 week
preceding its capture by the enemy With
a view to warn our neighbours against the e.
vii into which il appears our citizeus fell, we
will state "a singular foct, which is suscepti-
bile OF legas proof. The lady e house
where the British officers supped on the e.
vening they entered the city, recognized a.
mong them person who had been at her
house, and even called on Mrs. Madison in
the Presidents house Gas the person declar~
ed in the Disguise Of distressed woman,

the American loss at the battle Of BIadsns.
burg was under.rated in General Wibder's
official account. There were twenty or
thirty killed, aud as many wounded, OF Com.

about six killed and ten wounded of the ma.
