When the Editorial article was penned
for our paper of to-day, we took it for
granted that the communication fran Id
mira! Cockrane 7uas received BY the Fref-
dent after TIE ooaqagration Of W4tbingtsn.
We are afIured, however, from reipcet
able authority that fuch is not the faef-
that tbs communication 7vas received before
the burning Of Wa/Bingtoa. Hence then
it appears, that the Pre6dent had official
notice of the intentions OF the admiral
before this catastrophe, and conlequently
it was his duty to prepare tor that event.
With this explanation, we would fain
ask with wha, face the chief magiltrate
could itatc in his proclamation, THAT the
city was defended by troops leis numer-
GUS than the enemy's and almot entirely
competed of militia. He ought to have
itared that the regular troops had been
fcnt to Canada. We are further atlured
by very Respectable gentleman VIII has
pafied through the mott populous parts
Of Virginia, that there exits one uniform
