THE BATTLES L o

From several of our gallant officers, un-
der Porter and our other naval heroes, who
were stationed at the White House. a few
miles below Mount Vernon, ON the Virginia
side, we learn, that a very severe engage
ment commenced between the enemy's
armed vessels and the battery stationed at
the former place, about 2 o'clock on Mon
day evening. The battle lasted for some
time, and ended in the loss of about twelve
killed and seventeen wounded on our side,
principally sailors amongst the number
however, of the killed and wounded, were
two or three marines, and two or three OF
the rife corps of Captain Humphreys from
Jefferson, Virginia, who behaved with much
gallantry.
The seamen distinguished themselves By,
their usual intrepidity and GOODNESS, ana
the militia stood their ground with much
irmness. The British must have suffered
severely from every indication, but their
very superior force gave them the power
of disabling our small battery, and enabled
them to pass the White House in compare
tive safety, after d~ismounting all our guns
but one.
About 4 o'clock on Monday Eveningthe
contest commenced between them and ths
battery under the command of Capt. Perry
at Indian Head, on the Maryland side, low
err down, which was kept up with great VI
gor until dark, and was renewed at day
light yesterday morning. We have not YET
heard how it terminated, but there IS no
doubt but Perryhas severely mauled the
enemy, and upon the whole, that his yes,
sells nave been SO severely handled he WIZ
not hastily venture up this river again. hS
never before met with so warm a reception
in any of his marauding parties.
Gentlemen who were present at and near
Com. Porter's battery, bestow the highes..
praise on the conduct of his men, and O
those who were associated with them
Com. Rodgers, who has been engaged ~
the most ~perilous enterprise for some da!ss
past, and who was at and near the scene
action, returned early yesterday morning;
and Captains Porter and Creighton Arrives
about the middle Of the day.

of the war but secretly, rest assured. a
peace with the United States is the sincere
wish of their hearts ; as every thing is TN
commonly dull, both here and in Manches
ter, and British manufactures of every des-
cription have fallen nearly to what they
were in 1912 owing to this country being
excluded from exporting to France ; and,
the continent elsewhere are so very poor
that they cannot buy, money being there
entirely out of the question.
The late astonishing changes had made
the people here almost mad, and they have
hardly come to their senses yet however
they begin to find out that their trade is
not what they expected would be the re-
suit of a peace with France. / am credi-
bly informed that there are twenty thou.
sand packages of goods here, and fifteen
thousand in Lisbon ready to be sent to A
merica, those in Lisbon would have been
shipped in neutral vessels, had not Cochrane
issued his blockading proclamation.
The trade of the United States is much
more important to the Manufacturers here
than they are wiling you should know; be-
assured they now feel sensibly the want Of
it, and the government are more conscious
of this than the people.
A great number of troops have been
shipped from Bordeaux for America ;

has not yet loft this country, and | hops
he will not.

DESPATCH.

When the extraordinary proclamation OF
the President appeared, in which a refer
'ence was made to a communication from
Admiral Cochrane, it was the general com
plant that the whole letter had not been
published.
We nave information on which we place
implicit reliance, that the threat of the
British naval commander, was not so ex-
tensive az is declared by the administration
The threat of " destroying and laying
waste, " was conditional. For every act
of wanton destruction committed by the
army of the U, States in Upper Canada,
" the Admiral declares he will proceed in
retaliation, pari passG, on the American
coast,
Baltimore and Annapolis and Richmond
have a right to demand to know the extent
of the evil which threatens them. N. York
and Philadelphia, and every other city in
the nation should protest against the extra
ordinary ~concealment of information In
which they have so deep a stake. The
whole country should unitedly exclaim a
gainst the fatal departure from that candor
which should ever be the first attribute of
the ruler of a free people, and which is
more especially expected at a period OF
alarm and peril. 6.

They are as follows-"The voice of the
nation is bitter against us; they say we
attacked them in the homer of the great

victory they ought to inhict exemplary
punishment. But the ministry is much
more faVourably inclined towards US, and
do not despair of peace.
