The following estimate is taken from a
report of a committee, appointed for that
s. other purposes, by the Common Council
of Alexandria:
THE loss sustained from the enemy il
is believed will not exceed the following -
three ships, three briggs, several bay and
river craft, the number of which has not
been ascertained; all of which were car
ried away, and one ship burnt. The
quantity ofiour carried away, it is believ-
ed, will not exceed sixteen thousand bar

co, one hundred and fifty bales of cotton,
and of wine, sugar and other articles not
more than five thousand dollars worth"
