My mailers may roly upon this interesting infor mation being rnrroct beruusn wo tried tho ef fect on two houses n! the some time. There aro limes in n man’s lilh w’.on his mind Inrrbndcs npproaching danger*, nnd pro- phetios results ; these hints are usually alight ed until thn miaehief has been accomplished, und then conscience step* in nnd brings hack the former warning to onr memory. Wn had, on tho morning of the dny on winch the fnl lowing event occurred, not only burnt, but robbed, a bouse, from the parlour of which we bad filehod a mahogany table for our berth; wr therefore got rid of our old oaken affair, and placed our iil gotten furniture in its place At this genteel apparatus was none the belter far long neglect on short, and the careless manner in wttich it had been handled in sen; ding it on hoard, I, as caterer nf tho mess,- - to whirh high situation I had been Inlely ap pointed,—proposed Itmv we should tnkn it by turns to polish thn table, in order to render il • proper bright appehdnge to our berth. Poor Sands, who was seated in a corner, looking wofully wretched, refused to exsiat; alleging ate rea*on, that he felt.perfectly convinced bn should never eat off the table, aa that night he we* lo be killed. In vain 1 attempted to rally him from the strange melancholy which bod overtaken him; he tat in a stats of alums; Stupefaction- I ordered' some anpper; nf which however he would not partake, hut opening hi* desk he made all his >,Ides' frit nil* % trifling present: to me be gave a silver upon his countenance, and every feature inili catcd mime scent fnri boding awfully present to In* imagination. Nino o’clock mmcJilin boats were manned, nnd I, ns Ins aid-do-camp, look my iisilnl Meat in hit gig. All tho boats left the ship nt lho same moment, and, with muffled ohm nnd breathless nilenro, wo ap proached tho landing-place. When the gig’* keel grated on the sand, mid the boat slopped, I was surprised lo find Sir Pater P irltpr re main motionless on his sent ; nnd knowing hi* usual ambition to tie t he first, I wns rather slack in nskmg, which I wns obliged to do, if ! should land first. Tina awoke our clnol from lus lethargy ; but,instead nf walking over the gang board, ho stepped over board along side in the water, und wnlked on shore. Thn preparation of forming tho men, selecting (lie advance-guard, und giving necessary orders, diverted Sir Peter from hi* nwliinclioly, and ho appeared as .'miniated, nnd flashed with ns much hope and confluence, as on uny former occasion. Our troop*, consisting of die ma rine* and about one hundred sonmen, nil hav ing been taught to march in line and counter march upon occasions advanced in pretty lair style, mu* l.cgnu to approach our enemies. Tim ndvunce-gunrd, under llm commnnd ol the master at min* und a youngster, had march ed about a quarter of a mile, when they discov ered tho picquel of the Amciicnns mounted on their horses under a large tree, nnd apparent ly all nsloep. Instead of sending directly thi* information lo Sir Peter, they thought it wise to upprnnch as near as possible, nnd, taking deliberate atm, fired at the sleeping gunrd 1 al though when they fired they were not ton pa ces Irotn tho onemy, yut they contrived to mi*s Imrscs, riders, and all. Tim American* startled into uclivity by thn unwelcome salute, returned the tiro with equal unsuccess, and galloped off into the wood. Hero limy fired a single pistol: it was unswerd by ono further off; und that again answered nl the camp by n field piece. It was now past a doubt that wo woro discovered, and a prudent man would have instantly retired. It was tho height of madness tn advuuco into the interior of a country wc knew nothing about, led by blnck guide, who might havo been paid to lend us into a snare ; surrounded too by woods through which wo had tho option to pas* in the preference to walking through an open field or two, where, owing to the bright moon shine on our polished-barrel musquets, we might ho discerned at uny distance. In short, wu hnd a host of mischiefs to counteract, and only ouo wtso mode of proceeding, which wc failed to avail ourselves of; namely, n retreat in time. Falu hurried us on to destruction ; und alter a council of vrur which path to mktt, we took the worst of courso, and udvanced along tho open ground, perceptible to our enemies for tho above named reasons, whilst rear : at Ins*, they made n halt, and we heard the officer* cheering tlmir nmn lo aland firm. Porork, n midshipman, who never felt any in- dicnliun of finr since he was horn, rushed in tlm front of our rank, and challenged the officer: out certainly in the most courtly man lier, for l e d-i >med him for u chattering mon key who would be the ft’*! to run away. To this tn -menl Sir Peter Parker cheered on the marine* with his usual determined courage ; his Turkish snhre sparkl.-d in the moonlight ii* lie wnved il over hi* bend, nnd his rontinn- nl erv of •• Forward! forward!” resounded tiniilst the firing: but now his vo*ee failed nnd lie fell in my arm*. The whole nnitnn- Iton of the parly died when he dropped; the firing on our side censed, and we surrounded our wounded <’ ipiain. His only words were these:—“ I fear they have done for me — Pearce, veil hud better retreat; for the boats are far distant.” In vain we asked where he was wounded ; for h« was unable to speak, and had fainted. On lifting him on tho ma rine.-’shoulder*, six of whom carried him off the field, Porock, who had ns-isted, and who hnd placed his hand* ndcr the knees of the Captain, remarked that the dew was very hea vy, for the Captain was wet through ; nnd on holding hi* hand* to the moonlight, he discov crcil the dampness to proceed from blood. It wn* instnntly propre-- d lo sirip Sir Peter thn spot; and Imil tins been done, he might have been saved: a buck-shot hnd cut the femoral artery, and he wns bleeding to death A pocket handkerchief and a ramrod, in the absence of a larniquct, would hnvn stopped the blood; hut no, we had little lime for ron- son, for we lutd manifested a most determined opposition to that goddess throughout the whole uffiir. In tlm mean time wo began our retreat, tho other division of our party having long before taken their departure : they had ndvsnred op tlm left side ol the field, nnd then edged into thn wood*, through which they wandered nl random, ultimately however arii ving opposite tlm ship-, and embarking. No sooner hnd we ree;os*rd (lie hurdles above mentioned, when thn ••mind of cavalry was heard on our left, clattering along tho road ; our form nt that moment amounting to only sixteen men, and both nintine officers woun ded. Porock had not nsenped; a shot hnd struck him in that place where Hudthra^ whimsically places honour: nnd Pearce and myself wero Ihe only two untouched. The grass was as high ns our shoulder* ; nnd as llie infantry vvurv following our retreat, wo lay down and allowed thorn to pass. ' They edged away lo Ihe right, keeping up a rontinunl fire, and ultimately entered Ihe wiled through which our lilue-jnckels had retreated. As thn caval ry hnd broken through the hurdles, nnd were coming exactly in our directum, wo were obliged tn remain conrealed until they hod they remained entirely obscured, by the woods, [ passed, w hen vvo lifted our dead Captain, eon- I's.im ...I* a/.-.lt* \V_ s I » Ml A.

Wo continued our ill-fated inurch, but suddenly hulled at tho uppronch ol a single horse-man, who, having arrived close to our mov, called out; “ IVoll now, lliat’a odd enough 1 1 calculate I have mudo a mistake and got amongst the Britishets.” “ Who aro you !" ask- d Sir Peter. •• Why, I expect I’m nobody on the face of the earth.” llo was o man about eighteen stone nnd a colonel of the militia, lie vvus instnntly dismounted, placed under tho guardianship of ono of the gunner’s crew, and ultimately met a very cruel death, which will be related hereafter. Sir Peter Par- ker mounted Ihe steed, and turning round to his army, gave tho word.” «Battalion, advance I” Having somo orders to the difer- ent officers, I passed in thn rear, nnd on my return saw poor Sands ; ho expressed htmsjlf moro and more satisfied (hot Ins end was np proaching, and seemed only vexed at the idea of hi* marching a mansurrd step to his inevi table destruction. I left him watchful ns to his men, hut irrevocably lust as to moral cour- ngc. After passing through a small village, wo camo to sumo hurdles, where Sir Peter dismounted, and the guide asked if ho prefer- ed being led through Ihe woods in the rear of Ihe enemy, nr to advauce by Ihe open ground in front o' their camp. Even now, had we been blasaed with one single ray of common reason, we should have retreated ; but no, relentless Fate still inter fered. Here wc had the certainly that our en- emiee were prepared, were five times more numerous than ourselves, bad the advantage cenlnil tin; muskets from tho moonlight, nnd advanced to the hurdle*, keeping them on our left (mini. Tho cnvulry, having skirted the field, returned In our side : wn were obliged to leap thn hurdles, and point tho bayonet* through tho apertures. On they cume va liantly enough us soon us they perceived their prey, Olid our sixteen mnrines stood ns quietly ns if the chance* were equal: they allowed tho troopers lo advance within about six yards, when they poured in a well-directed volley, shouting nt the sarin- moment. Tlm Indepen dent I.ight-Hor.-o Volunteers of Virginia did not relish this salute ; their horses, unaccus tomed to such uncouth sounds, stopped short nt.d turned round ; some wero thrown, some killed, and nil for the present perfectly routed. Wo hnd not n moment to lose ; we ngnin pla ced our dead Captain on thn shoulders of the marines, and, under tho direction nf Penrcc, who wns u clever, intelligent, brave and deter mined man, rerrossed tho hurdles, and, leav ing them closoon our left hand, commenced a quick relroni. His reason for keeping in the high grass was to bo as much as pnssiblo ob scured from tho cavalry and the riflemen Hvery five minute* we had to relieve thn men who carried Sir Peter: not » murmur wn* heard ; every ono cheerfully took hi* turn; and confidence was kept nlivo from the known bravery of each man, most of whom bad been in twenty-eight different engagements togeth er. In this manner wo stood eight charges of the cavalry, without Ihe loss of a man on our side. Immediately they were beaten off, we been engaged in such a severe contest, that out of eighty men we only mustered sixteen, and two of those wounded. I must confess that, when wo departed from the village, 1 -,imposed to leave the Captain behind. I con ceived it perfect folly to risk our lives for no possible good : he was dead beyond all doubt, and wo stood a chance of following his fate if we carried him. A shout ol displeasure arose from the men, who swore he never should be laft to be baried by strangers. They again re sumed their labours, nnd, after a painful march of an hour, we arrived at tho beach, and in- snnctivcly walked into Ihe water. To our ex treme mortification the boats were not whero we left them. Pearce questioned mo as to their position ; this was the only time the Cap tain had omitted to make mo acquainted with any charge, and I was consequently unnMc to give any satisfactory reply ; wc therefore re sumed our march along the beach towards Ihe frigate. On Ihe right wns a high bank, from the summit of which wn perceived numerous heads ; we wero hailed, and gave the answer “ Brook Street l” tho countersign was “ For ty.four.” It was answered, and wo found our long-strayed comrades equally gratified to find wc wero friends. IVo now laid Sir Peter on n large log of wood : the assistant surgeon, Mr. Millar, declared him perfectly dead, which I could have sworn to about three hour* pro vious to lli>s declaration. Wc embarked ; nnd • he sorrow of tho crew, when they beard thn loss they had sustained, baffles my power to to paint. No soonor hnd we nil embarked, and were on the point of rommilting ourselves to our hammocks, when tho drum bent tn quarters. Wo were instantly at our posts, nnd found that the gun-hoats, hearing tho firing, hnd come from Baltimore to amuse ns. A single shot dispersed them, nnd we retired. I wns so fn- tigoed that I could not undress myself, but t-irned in ullstnmltng, ns the sailor* sav. I promised to mention the death of the Ame rican colonel, which I shall do ns shortly as possible. When the first charge took place, tho gunner’s mate led his prisoner away from the firing, nnd stood by hint with a pistol in his hand; he had not been long in that position before n troop of horse came on a full trot in their direction. The gunner’s ma'o, turning tn his prisoner, said, “ I’m sorry, my lad. to do it; but I must do il, you know.” “ Do what ?” replied the prisoner. “ Why, shoot you, to bo sure. Did not you hoar thn Cnp- tnin desire me not to let you escape ?” “ Why, now. I expect you would not thoot me in cool blood; fi7 ! calculate you'ro A man, although yon are n Britisher, I guess.” 11 Hero thev come!” replied Jack, and shot tho colonel through ihe head; the loadljtg dragoon at that moment cleaving him through tho should”!’, and leaving him like a fowl with a wing nearly severed from the trunk.
