THE ENEMY

Since our last have not ventured to make
another descent on the south shore of the
Potomac. We understand. however i, thai
they landed, on Sunday, at Cedar Point, in
Maryland, & set fire to the Tobacco Ware
house. which is supposed to have been con .
snmed.-They were very soon attacked by
the militia, and fled with the utmost preci-
p tation and confusion to their boats. The
whole or the greater part of this occurrence
was plainly discovered from this side the ri
yer ; and it is presumed hey must have lost
some men, as there were several discharges
OF cannon upon them during their fight.

fatigable industry aud talents, have, we think,

tish advanced with one schr. and number Of
baiges to Cedar Point warehouse, in Charles
county, Nd. and had commenced removing the
tobacco, when they were attacked by body o.
men Under gen. Stewart with two SIX Founders
and musquery, and repused after setting fire
to the warehouse, without the loss OF a man on
our side. The enemy fred round shot. shells
and rockets but the militia soon found that
they were not so terrible as they had at first
supposed. and advanced boldly up 10 the shore.
and made them retreat precipitately and leave
their plumber behind. Our informant think
the eneTay suffered considerably, as they had
to tow off the schr and some shot appeared to
hit the bargcs. When they got to frigate
which was on the Kettle Bottoms, they all pro
ceeded down the river.

STATE or MARYL AND.

The Federasts of Maryland have managed.
as is reported, not only to preclude the Gene
raj Government from the ofthc Militia of that
State, but also to render it difficult, If imposs-
BILE. to call them out at all. The law is said to be
defcctivc--a law framed by the wrctched factionsts
who have attempted to dishonor that respectable
commonwealth. The suffering of the Maryland
ers on the Patuxent aud Potomac, ought to be pla-
ced to the proper account: 1t ought 20 be attribu-
ted to the wilfl and wicked negligence of the Fede
raj House OF Delegates and Federal GOVERNOR
The only remedy is to turn these out, and put in
men who will use the resources of the State for its
general protection.

REPAIR OF FORT LEE.

1t gives us great pleasure to announce
that the repair of this commanding fort was
yesterday commenced, by a body of about
90 volunteers, from capt. Blood's company
of militia. 1t is expected that this patrio-
tic example will be followed by other com.
panies until the works are put in complete
repair. We learn that some of our wealthy
citizens have generously offered to defray
the expense of materials, &c. necessary to
complete the undertaking.-Salem r.
Extensive additional measures of de-
fence nave been ordered by the Executive
of the State. Guards are established on
the sea board and cannon sent to various
stations and corps of militia are ordered to
be held in minute readiness. We under
stand a regiment is to be put on permanent
duty in this harbor. We hope these and
other measures, will induce the British to
raise the stupid blockade of the eastern
ports, and the bidding capture of coast
ing craft, and gooff.
