They have furnaces to give it warmly to the marauders. The troops are commanded by col. Wadsworth, an excellent officer; and Barney, we all know, will do every thing that can be done or expected. We shall probably be favored with a detail of the events on the Patuxent for record, which will shew the "ag na-ni-mi-ty” of the enemy in its true colors.

The enemy retained possession of Benedict, a small village, two or three days. A party of militia from the district of Columbia, dislodged them, after a skirmish, in which Mr. Wise, of Alexandria was killed by a British sergeant, who was immediately shot down, Six prisoners were taken.

MILITARY.

Four soldiers were lately shot at Buffalo for desertion. If such terrible examples are necessary, they ought to have been made at the commencement of the war. There has been a criminal faxity of discipline, as well among the officers as the men—and it will cost five times the labor to amend the errors now than it would to have avoided them at the beginning. But they must be amended.

NAVAL.

A FLAG OF TRUCE arrived at Annapolis on Wednes day last, bearing despatches for the secretary of state land for Mr. Barclay.

The enemy entered the harbor of Scituate (Mass.) some 10 or cash, in gold, captured by the same, divested of her 12 days ago, and burnt ine small vessels lying there. It is intimated they have been angered by the late dinner and presents to precious metal and burnt. We are more pleased Perry.

of the chief towns on the coast have been adopted.

The United States frigate Mohawk,to carry 54 guns,was launched: at Sackett's Harbor, on the 11th inst. As all her guns, &c. were rendy, it is probable she is this day nearly realy for the lake. The Superior is completely fitted. Chauncey has been out on the lake to try the trim of his new vessels, A part of the crew of the Can gress frigate, with other bodies of sailors have arrived at the harbor. By the 10th of July "hard knocks" are expected.

It is rumoured that the enemy is building another vessel for the service on lake Champlain. Their post at the Isle Aux Noix, we apprehend, cannot be forced by Maodenough, without the aid of a powerful land force.

The U. S. frigate Guerriere, 44 guns, was launched at Philadel phia on Monday last, she happily entered her destined element ac companied with the shouts of 50,000 spectators. Rodgers with his veteran crew, is already preparing her for sea.

The U. S. schooner Nonsuch, lient. Kearny, stationed off Charleston, had a narrow escape from capture by a frigate a few days ago; but got into that port after throwing overboard 1 of her guns. The U. S. ship Independence, 74 guns, was to have been launched at Charlestown, on the 18th inst. but stuck on the ways, and did not get off. She sustained no damage. Bainbridge, we believe, is to have the high honor of commanding her, and will support the glory of the spangled flag. The southern coast is also vexed by the enemy's cruisers; several small vessels have lately been captured near Savannah.

A frigate has entered the Delaware by, and was doing some damage among the small craft.
