As they” passed through Blader.sburg their mouths were open gasping'for breath and their officers theitv forwaid with their swords and espon toons. Twelve were buried in one field that had not a wound. ■ Commodore Barney’s wound will be tedious, but is not dangerous;'’ He has been removed to his residence on Elkridge. Captain Miller of the marines, was badly wounded in the arm, whilst ably supporting tfie Commodore’s left. , Many of his men as well as the boys were killed and wounded. ? 5 A deserter who was m the battle states that Col.'Thornton of the 86th regiment, was shot .from his horse fii grey-J e%rly in the battles* that Major Wood of the 29th fell shortly 4 after, and that he believed from 3 to 409 have deserted from the enemy. When we remarked, in our paper of yesterday, that private property had in general been scrupulously respected by the enemy during his late incursion, we spoke what we 1 believed, from a hasty survey, and perhaps without sufficient enquiry; Greater respect was certainly paid to private property than has usually been exhibited by the enemy in his marauding parties. No houses were , half as much plundered by .the ene my as by.the knavish wretches about the town who pro fitted of the gene ral distress. There %;re, how even, several private buildings wantonly destroyed, and ’Some of those persons j who remained in the city were scan*, J dalously maltreated.

The magazine at Greenleaf’s Point was destroyed f parti ally onlyj and • the guns spiked on Thursday. In a dry well belonging to the barracks, our soldiers had thrown many bar rels of powder for concealment. Af ter exploding the magazine, the British soldiers threw casually into this well one or two of their matches which communicated to the powder deposited there. ’ The effect was ter rifne. Every one of , his soldiers near was blown into eternity, ma ny at a distance wounded, and the excavation retrains an evi dence of the force of the explosion , The enemy retreated from the city with so great precipitation as to leave half his wounded behind him, amoun ting to more than 190 among whom area Colonel and a Major. iTbe fqrce-of the enemy is differently rep resented by deserters and prisoners ; but the best iinformed make the force destined for the city to have been from four to five thousand well ap pointed and active men, infantry, rocketeers fee. &c. The enemy did not bury their, dead, except those in the immediate vicinity of their camp* £Tl*e rest, in number near two hundred, were bu ried by a committee of our own citi zens sent out for the purpose. .After the action, on the retreat, jM r.jor Morgan, of Wineb ester, faia ted from fatigue and expired in a few hours ait#nvards. , We again caution our readers gainst giving too much credit to all the rumots w hich are widely & in dustriotniy circulated, generally fcprn infcniiation, but sometimes we aie convinced From less pardona ble causes in relation to the battle ut lilicknsburg.

We are indebted tp him for a very minute description of which have transpired at that point. r ~ ‘ “ - L • s The battery of Commodore Porter consisted of 13 guns of a reffuetd calibre, viz. three 18s, two 12s, the rest 6*s and 4’s ; without a fort or a breast-work to shield rhe rrien. This was in deed “ fearful odds” against a moving battery of 80 or 90 heavy pieces of cannon, exclusive of rockets and bombs, and against an enemy who werecovered bfrtheir wooden Bulwarks The British flotilla haid aid too of a'leading wind and passed our batteries after an action of 25 minutes, yomitting forth a shower of balls. Yet our riflemen .continued to fire after the epemy’s artillery ceased to play, it was nor possible to ascertain the degree of damage which they sustained— : some of their rigging was evidently sh6t away.— On our part we ’ lost, a very few killed and wounded. y Out* men behaved like veteran troops. Few of them had ever been in an action before, and bombs and rockets were perfect strangers to thenß But a few hours were sufficient to fa miliarise them to the. spectacle, «md they stood tp their posts like men, who had been accus tomed tp face danger. No man van—no corps retreated in the least disorder. Wfiat they could do was done—they disThargea their duty . with alacrity ; and deserve the thanks of their country. Yet they were i militia—if such • had been the troops at Bladensburg, Rossr inignt have been taken—our honor ‘at least would have been saved. $ * After passing Commodore Porter’s battery,, ,! enemy had yer to pass the battery of Per ry spr the Indian Head or. the Maryland side of theTPctomac. It was 5 Or 6 milesbelow. The British flotilla reached it about 4 o’clock on the same evening and a tremendous cannonade continued till dusk. During this night, the pumps were heard continually at work. Ear ly the next morning (Tuesday) the fire recom menced, and was kept up till after 8. The ships passed the battery i but what was done oneither side, could not be ascertained. On Tuesday night major Banks saw a gentleman in Dumfries who ha&seen the fleet in the Po tomac in the course of the day ; and heard the sounds of rhe hammer and the pump cominu aily at work, y 1 , l Rodgers was not ;idle, i ’ Soon after the fleet tell down from Alexandria, he chased them with 5 of 6 barges, St an old scow, arm ed with an 18 pounderl2 or 14 barges,rput after him i and a brisk contest ensued ; in the , course of which t wb of their barges were sunk, but w«Ms afterwards relieved by the others.— They finally retreated, - discomfitted, disgra ced, -The brave cbmmodote reckons the loss of the British at 50. Thesb men have paid ’ dearly enough for their flour. After the-fleet had fallen down, Rodgers entered the town, of Alexandria, with a few men. The British flag was suli flying. He ordered it to be immediately struck, and the A met i.ean flag to be hoisted. The good cit i zens remonstrated against the danger : they feared the British would come up and lay ‘the town, in ashes. The commodore cooiy told them that they were indeed in an unfor tunate situation; if the British flag was struck, the British guns would be pbinted at them; if it was.not he should point his own guns against town. The American flag was hoisted. • > Richmond Enquirer, >'_ ‘ , ‘ V We are sorry to learn,'from the Northern frontier, that on the 29th ult. General Gaines was severely (not dangerously) wounded in spur. or five-different parts of his ‘(body, by a shell thrown by the enemy, whiyh fell into his quarters.

S* A gentleman from Burlington, which Re left oh Tuesday, arrived in town on Thursday evening. He saw an officer who left Chazy the day be fore, and informed that Gen. Izard’s army [except 1000] f hud. mat ched off Westward, supposed for Og dehsburg. Accounts from Montreal to the 2Sth mention nothing new. A detachment of general Izard’s aiTny from the north, said to be from 2 to 4000 men, are on their way to Niagara by forced marches. If our information is correct they passed through Saratoga county a few day* since and must be at Utica before this time. Albany Gazette,’ New-York) September, 7 . By a gentleman who left Plattsburg on Thursday* and Burlington on Friday last, we learn, that Generals Smith and Kusseil’s btigades under general Izard, estimated at threethousand men left Chazy on the 27th ult and it was supposed had matched for Sack ettV Harbor. About 1500 remained un der Gen. Macomb. Oil Wednesday last, 5000 British under gen.
