been many arrests, but no executions had

Several Algcrine cruisers had been out OF

Inthortant from tie East
The following is the most authertic infor-
nation of the movements Of the British squad
ron, late on the Penobscot, received since our
last -
On Sunday the 10th inst. the enemy's force
in Castine consisted OF The Buiwark "a, a fri-
gate, a brig and IA transports, with about
1900 troops belonging to the seth, cd and
9Sth regiments. On The same day they were
reinforced by a tender and large transport
from Machias with some troops belonging to
the 29th. On the Goth they were joined by 2
more Ships. On Wednesday, the 2lst, the
oSth regiment, and the foreign l1i3emen- Sc
1900 in all, embarked and fell down the river,
after taking all the horses and provisions
they could put in requisition :-Aad on FRI
dav last a squadron of one ~, six ships and
two briggs were seen leaving Penobscot Bay,
and after leaving the land. steering .. >.

The above particulars are interesting. As
the winds have prevailed since Friday, this
squadron, if destined to any part OF New
England, must have arrived many hours
since and if its course is correctly stated,
and the squadron kept it, they were probably
bound TO the Chesapeake, which they must
have reached by this time.
There is no truth in the report OF any squad
ron being off Portland

Cen. Scott arrived in this city yesterday
noon, and took up his quarters at MIR. Rem
shaw's Hotel in Market street.-The notice
of his approach TO this city was so sudden and
short, that the military corps, who intended
to escort him into the scene OF his future COM
mand, were unable to tender to him this de-
served compliment. During the afternoon,
however, the elegant corps, sixth Washing
ton Guards, under the command of Captain
Anthony, and the newly raised company of
Philadelphia Guards, commanded by captain
S E. Wier, accompanied by handsome corps
Of rihemen from the adjoining country, pass
ed in review before his quarters, and paid the
customary honors to which were added, when
the general presented himself at the balcony
of the Hotel, the repeated cheers and congra-
tuIations of "a numerous assemblage of citizens
in the course of the afternoon upwards of
two thousand militia, on their way to camp,
paid the General simjllr honors.
Gen. Scott, on his way hither, happened to
alight at Princeton, on Wednesday last, the
day of the annual commencement of that dis
tngushed university, and was present at its
performances. We understand, that the
young gentleman who had the honor of pro-
nouncyng the valedictory Grafton, suddenly APP
priscd Of the presence Of so interesting
ftOy tr..r cI~tcrI :f,f,, h,e If,i
and animated address to this distinguished and
accomplished ofiicer. It's effect, as may be
readily conceived, spread ike spark OF cleo
tricity through the whole assembly.
The General carries his arm in aSling, his
wound in the shoulder not being yet closcd-in
other respects he appears to ENJOY good health.
