On Fri day morning search was made throughout the village, and persons unto the adjacent towns. Suspimpns as to his fate had entered the breast of many. A per*.:a by tie jbamilHf J.

His Lofdshlp replied that a duty to a nation avis in his view, paramount toevery thing else ; and that it was but a reasonable acquiescence in any man, to adopt the religion of a people, provided it was the Christian religion, when a people called him from private life, to place him and his descendants on a throne.

With the infantry I pro;eide kslo v ly and m order along the piint of and w licb led to t>ye fro ii of their breast-work ; haying planted my can non, [one six and ohe three pou 1 le •] on an eminence at the distance of ‘ 150 to 200 yards fro a it, I opened a very brisk fire, pl&yin * upon the ene my with the muskets and rifles whenever they shewed themselves beyond it ; this was kept up with short interruption for about 2 hours, when a part of the* Indian force and Capt, Russell’s and Lieut. Bean’s Companies of Spies, who had ac companied Gen.

Augusta Chronicle. FROM BE dMCJD \ On the 12 1 December, the Dia dem 64 arrived from England with troops About the 2Qtn .Jan. several transports arrived full of troops sa.d to be destined for the, Unite i Staten; was credibly informed their number amounted to 4000. . Dsrnoir, March 6, 1814. y * I hinted to you in my last letter of a detachment of troops being sent from hence under the comm in l of Captain ilomks, to pursue some Bri tish troops that were on tneir retreat up the Thames , They were overta ken about 20 miles from the Defa- Ware towns;’“a skirmish ensued which terminated in favor of our troops ; upwards of seventy were ta ken prisons*, killed and wounded;*/ the residue made a safe retreat. The British force was about 3)0 ; kb me of the prisoners state, that lour com panies ol British troops, together with 300 Indians were on their march to attack Sandwich. If this account is correct we soon expect u nother engagement. Some days a* go a Lieut Jacksofi in the {iritislj service arrived here With a flag of truce, bearing dispatches lioni Left* Drummond, purporting an enquiry p.f Baubec’s being taken prisoner i. This is a mere sham. Ihe officer is yet detained, and what rout he will take next is yet uncertain.’ We learn from source that the post ,of Sandwich, which it appears from the above letter is me. paced with an attack, though we think such an event scarcely proba ble, is perfectly secure ; the,strength of its fortification and garrison being sufficient to resist; any farce which it is in the power of the enemy in that quarter to carry against itV For the Athens Gazette . • i / A faIBUTE ¥o* PATRIOTISM. f ’5?..
