BIT DONALD A. CRAIG.

August %, IS14-~President Madison
conferred with the members of the cab
met at sunrise meeting today upon
measures for the defense of the city.
The British invading force has con-
tinued its march toward the city al
day. II is still uncertain whether the
enemy will take the road to BladenS-
burg or attempt a crossing of the East
ern Branch nearer to Washington.
The American troops. strengthened
by about 500 men from Capt. Barneys
naval f1otilla, have been slowly falling
back and keeping between the enemy
and the city After spending last night
at Old Fields, in Maryland. about
miles from the city. the Americans I'M
der command Of Gen. Winder, fell back
farther, and late. today were formed on
the city side of the bridge over the
Eastern Branch. If 1t appears tomor-
row or late tonight that the British
intend to take the road to BladenSburg,
where the river is easily forbade. the
Americans will be hurried to man the
breastworkS which citizens have been
throwing up at that point,
Thus far the British have met with
no opposition on their slow march from
the Patuxent River toward Washington.
cabinet spent most of the day again on
horseback riding between the American
defending force and the city and con-
sulting with Gen. Winder. 1t was
learned definitely this morning that the
enemy reached Upper Marlboro yester-
day. They occupied that town UNI
opposed
The Americans in front of the enemy
number only about $500 men. but Gen.
Winder will probably be strengthened
by the addition of some militia from
Maryland tomorrow The British are
believed to be about 1000 strong and
the men are veterans OF European
battiefields.
While President Madison and his
cabinet and Gen. Winder. commanding
our troops in the field, are determined
TO put up vigorous defense, it is real
lied that the situation is precarious and
the outcome of the expected battle
doubtful Therefore the work Of re-
moving important public documents TO
places of safety in Maryland and Vir-
ginia proceeded all day.
With nearly every able bodied citizen
