An express arrivedin this city last even
ing bringing the unpleasant intelligence of
the capture of the village of Pl~attsburgh,
by the British forces under the command
of Gen. Brisbane. The express left Platts.
burgh on fue9day afternoon, and states,
as we are informed, that the enemy enter
ed the own about IL O'Clock, that they
were met about seven miles from the place
by about 500 militia, supported by Major
Wood ard 200 regulars-that considerable
Diminishing took place, in which a few Of
our men were killed and wounded-that
Major Wood and the regulars retreated to
the fort, and the enemy took possession Of
the village, which had been previously de-
serted by the inhabitants
Our regular force in the fort is stated to
be about 1000 effective men-welI provisi
oned, and no doubt is entertained of their
being able to make a bold and vigorous
stand.
The enemy have taken possession of the
Isle of Mott, and obliged a number of the
inhabitants to take the oath of allepianca
to the British government.

BOSTON Sent. 10.

We are happy to learn, that notwith-
standing the rumours respecting Captain
MoREIs, he was not on board the Adams
at the time of firing the train by which she
was blown up, and that he has safely apriv-
ed at Portsmouth. We are informed that
he is to be stationed with his crew to assist
in the defence of Portsmouth.
There are many exaggerated accounts OF
tho British force in the Penobscot. We
think it cannot exceed more than 2 or 5000
men. The ships are said to be the Spen-
GER, Bulwark and Dragon 74's, Bachante,
and Tenedos frigates. Sylph and Peruvian
sloops and ten transports. The Bachante
is said to be direct from the Mediterranean
1t is estimated that as many as 100 ships
and vessels of all sorts have been DESTROYED
by the enemy on the Penobscot. Amongst
them the privateer Decatur.
1t is stated, that after leaving Hampden,
the English visited Bangor that they
were fired on from Frankfort, and DESTROY
ed some vessels that they promised ID
continue at Belfast only four days at the
expiration of which time they embarked
The officers are stated to have said, that
they expected large reinforcemerts, and
that the inhabitants would soon hear of the
destruction of Portland and Portsmouth,
Other accounts add Boston. The whole Of
the llth division was under requisition, and
about 1000 troops had assembled at Cam.

Capture Of Castine, &c -Letters and
passengers from the ca stward inform, that
on the lst inst. about 25 sail Of British yes
sells arrived at the entrance of Pcnobscot
river-laIded about 5000 troops, and took
possession of Castine, and afterwards OF
Belfast, in the county of Hancock, and be-
gan to eRtrench themselves. On their APP
proach to Castine, a flag was sent to dc,
mand the surrender ofthe fort, garsisoned
by about so u. States troops, under a
Captain, and giving him five minutes for
elaboration. Ehe Captain replied, he did
not WISH for one minutes consideration
and ordered the flag back with an assur

neared, he fired off his four guns-all of

the of the Adams ship of war, for her
defence. The expedition is under the di-
rection Of Sir John Sh~erbroke-the troops
commanded by Gen. Robinson. A gentle
man who was on a Journey at Belfast when
it was taken, says, the troops behaved with
the utmost circumspection, and were in
very fine condition. A ship, two briggs and
two or three tenders, had proceeded up the
river. At the last dates this force was
within six miles Of the Adams, rated 80
guns; and that Capt. Morris had landed
his guns, and was, with a body of militia
which had assembled, determined not to
give up the ship" The last report is that
on Saturday a severe cannonading was
heard in the vicinity of Hampden, suppos-
ed to be an attack on the Adams; and that
it had been repulsed. 1t is added, that Sir
j. Sherbroke had in a Proclamation declar-
ed, that all the towns east of P~enobscot are
British colonies-that he promises them
protection, and a free lumber trade and
assures them, if no resistance is made all
private property shall be respected.

Parts of the crew of the late U. States
ship Adams, have arrived at Portland
When they left Hampden no accounts had
been received of Capt. Morris. 1t is stated
that when he fired the train which blew
up his ship, he expected to have found a
boat alongside, but being disappointed
Threw himself overheard and made for the
shore.
Captain Morris had before expressed his
determination that the Adams never should
be taken by the enemy.

NEw-ORLEANs, August l9.
Some time since a number of reports
were circulating here of the intended inva-
sion of this country; at one time by the
British and another by the Spaniards, and
again Jointly by both. Latterly we have
nothing further on this subject, and ! pre-
sumo we are as secure as you are in New
York. The government of the United
States are making arrangements at least
land it would seem only for appearances
for the supply Of a large military force in
this quarter. 1t is said there will be 5000
troops In addition to those already here,
(about $500 for which rations have been
ordered to be prepared by the contractors
for the army, The smuggling business at
Earraterre, or Grand Isle, situated sixty
or seventy miles from this place, continues
to be carried to a great extent, as was ever
done IN any other part of the land. One
of the principal leaders of this banditti has
been secured, and will be tried for piracy !;
but still that trade goes on. Within the
two last weeks four new prizes have been
brought into Grand Isle, one said to be a
Russian from England, bound to Pensaco,

TO tell, of the number of vessels taken by
these pirates, not one of their crew have
ever been seen or heard of, doubtless all
murdered and still stranger to remark.
that the general rendezvous of those rob-
bers should remain within 60 or 20 miles
OF this place, having $500 regular troops,
and all the militia of the country, and not
a single effort made to dislocge them"
