Frontier informs, that the British squa-
dron has comm need cruise or expe-

was still of. there ON the afternoon oil
the 18th inst. Considerable alarm pre-
vailed at that place, and many families
had removed. The militia, however,
had not been called out. Our squadron
was at Otter Creek, not quite ready for
service, and had therefore been remov.
ed farther from the Lake, on the ap.
pearance of the British. Some Of our
trading vessels had fallen into the hands
OF the enemy.

ALARM AT PORTSMOUTH.


We learn that Capt. Hull has re-
ceiyed information, in which he
places perfect confidence, that a
powerful armament has been fitting
out at Bermuda, designed to make
an attack upon the ~ building at
Portsmouth, N. Fl. The arma-
ment is to be furnished with a great
number Of congreve rockets. To
further the design an embargo has
been laid at Bermuda. Ii is suppos-
ed that the armament is already on
our coast, and that it will discover
itself very soon after the present
storm is over. Active preparations
are making at Portsmouth to resist
the expected attack. The principal
part of the regular troops who were
stationed at the fort there, have
lately received orders to march to
the frontiers. But about an equal
detachment Of twelve months men,
was yesterday ordered thither from
this town, and they are now on their
march. The neighboring militia
in New Hampshire, and regiment
at Newbury. in this state. are OF
dered to be in readiness for imme-
dhte service.
