The novelty of such a spectacle, ad ded to the high estimation our little navy has attained, attracted the atten tion of upwards of fifty thousand peo ple, who assembled on the shores of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and in the S earn Boat, shipping and small craft—almost literally cover ing the river Delawarevin the vicini ty pf Kensington, amid whose uccla inutions, this elegant ship glided most handsomely into the river—and we are happy to add, not the slight est accident occurred to mar the plea auies of the scene. k £ Fair. I/oven, June 14. Yesterday morning we were alar -1 tned by the appearance of the British liyig Nimrod, with / barges with fietv i:’. mned from the 74 now lying at the entrance of Quick’s Hole—the brig was at clay-light about 4 miles from tiie Garrison, the barges pulling to wardsher, having fas we supposed ) during the night been vimhin gun shot of the fort—About $ o’ciockj she bore up the bay, and as we supposed was bound to Rochester.. We therefore .with a party of men, proceeded with a small cannon to assist the citizens’ “ pud prevent a landing, but the brig bad come to anchor, and manned 6 burges'With about 150 men, who pfro ifeded to Wareham where they ar rived at 12 . o’clock and destroyed 1- or 13 sail of vessels, among them ’ anew ship and brig—they set fire to j the factory, and left it soon, when ■ the people assembled and put it out —they took 20 or 30 prisoners,, whom they carried to the mouth of iU€ river and then released them tYe last night expected an attempt on this place and,Ne w Bedford, and were prepared af all paints to receive them ; they approached about I i o’- clock, when they were discovered by , t>or outer gilard, and: on firing the . alarm from the garrison, they with- j drew and returned to the brig, wmch ! proceeded for Quick’s Hole, A man has this moment arrived %*no states, that she is ashore or* the E.

In com di.mce with this request in ductions were immediately issued to general Van Nese, and in an hour he necessary orders were distribu ted. It gave us much pleasure to witness the same degree of promp titude and alacrity on the present oc* oasion. as have heretofore distin guished the militia of ttys district. At ten o'clock. the fine companies ut Georgetown Artillery ahd Riflemen, under their respective captains, Pe ter and Stullthe Georgetown Dra goons, the troop of captain Thornton of Alexandria, and that of captain Caldwell of this city ; amounting in all to about two hundred and eighty mm, were in complete readiness to march, and soon after departed for . the PatuXen*, the whole under the command of major George Peter. We learn that the enemy have pursued the same system of barba rous warfare, that was commenced “last summer under the notorious Gockbilrn. They have burnt many dwellings and plundered a number of families on the shores of the Patux ent. The force which marched hence, yesterday morning, is, in conjunction with the troops already in that neigh borhood, deemed adequate to stop, the progress of the incendiaries and drive thent back ; but, if, not, there are hundreds of other brave men in this district who are willing to march at an hour’s notice, to the ajd of their iellow citizens.— Nut Intel . r The following is the force of the two squadrons upon the lake.

Alexandria, June 18 RAVAGES OF THE ENEMY. > < , By a gentleman direct from the neighborhood of Barney's Flotilla 2c the British squadron, who arrived here last evening, we have the most destressing accounts of the situation of the inhabitants of that section of Maryland—A brig of 12 guns and 15 barges were as higtyupthe Patuxent on Thursday as Benedict—-the bar ges had progressed to Nottingham a considerable distance above Bene dict. He states that a number of Houses were burnt by them, and other enormities committed—among those were one belonging to capt. M ikall, and one to Mr. Broom—On crossing the ferry at a place called Pig Point yesterdsy morning he hiraseif saw the barges at Notting ham and smoke issuing from a house Which he was told belonged to Gen. Bowie, and it is probable the, whole village is burnt—A Tobacco ware house has been burnt by them on the St. Mary’s side of the Patuxent containing a quantity of Tobacco. He represents the destress of the ci tizens as extreme—the woods and roatls full of women and children flying in all directions from their homes.
