DESTRUCTION OF THE GEN.
, : . . Ns..
Arrived here on Thursday evening
last, from Fayal, via Amelia, fodr
teen of the creW ot the privateer
General Armstrong, capt. Reed who
Kport that 1$ days after leaving*
New York, they put into
that about two hours after coming
to anchor, the British brig jComet
of 18 guns came in and anchored
Within gub shot of the Armstrong,
and immediately manned three of
her barges, at which time the Rota
frigate and Plantagenet 74 also
stood: into port. When the brig's
boats came withii) hail, Capt* Reed
ordered them to keep off, they how
ever continued pulling for the Arm- \
strong when the boats were fired In
to from her which killed eight or
ten of ttie enemy The 74 and fri
gate perceiving this, forthwith man
ned 16 barges with about 45® men
£-TJ>e Gen. Armstrong then cut Her
cables and warped in directly under
the guns of the fort. Between 11
and 12 o'clock at night the whole
number of barges were discovered
from the Armstrong, within pistol
•hot, whep at the moment they were
about dividing into four divisions,
a broadside from the long tom and
three long 9*s were fired into them
which pn* the enemydn great confu
sion, killing the first lieutenant pf
the frigate, who commanded the
barges, and many othete. The
whole of the barges the.* came under
the Armstrong's bow keeping up a
continued fire which wa& returned
from on board with great spirit.
Several attempts . were made to
board the Armstrong, but were re
pulsed with great destruction to the
enemy. The barges finding’ they
could not carry hei v , Muled off until
morning when they retie Wet! the at
tack the tirig in company. The
Gen. Armstrong comitanced With a
brisk fire oh the brig and barges and
continued it for some tiifie *, but find
ing the force of the enemy Whs too
great and seeing no hopes 6£ saving
tfie ship, captain Reed gaVe orders
to dut away the mast Sand rigging,
and to lii three nine pounders
through her bottom—this \ was
promptly executed, when the crew
abandoned her and arrived safe on
Shore. Thus fell the Armstrong inf
to the hands of the British, after a
resistance worthy of the caiiSe
which animated her gallant
and crew, The enemy on taxing
possession of the Armstrong finding
her so much injured, and in a ; sink
ing condition set her on fire. Thfc
Gen. Armstrong had killed* Lieut,
\O, Williams, one seaman and 7
.'Wounded-—loss of the enemy i6d kil

THE ENEMY.,

from the south which informs that
pn Friday morning last several bar
ges came up as far as Deboy Sound
and captured five vessels iiv that
. Sound, four of which were from Sa
vannah, the other from St. Mary's
bound to this place—some of the
barges proceeded up the river as far
** the Three Mile Cut. Peter Cea
ftar and three of his crew made their
escape by taking to the boats, be

At a general Court Martial held at
‘ the of Washington, whereof
Brig. Gen. Smith ofthe militia D. C.
was President, the court on the i2th
inst* decided, that captain SAMUEL
I T. DYSON, es the U. S;ates corps
of artillery, being commanding offi
cer oi the U. S. fort, Fort Washing
ton, hid on or about the 27th day oF
August, 1814, when an enemy was
approaching said fort, ; misbehave
himself before the enemy & “shame
fully.abandon the fort and post which
he then and there commanded, and
it was his duty to defend.
Also, that he did, at the. same
time and place, Cast away and des
troy his arms and ammunition, dis
mantled and destroyed the tort;
and, without any necessity therefor
from the pressure ot thaenemy, did
march off the garrison from the
fort in violation of his duty, anti
country to his orders.
And the court sentenced the said
Samuel T. Dyson to be dismissed
the service of the U. States.
Which sentence has been approv
ed by major general Scott, comman
der of the l Oth military district.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
Captain Whitney, of the cartel
Perseverance, from Barbadoes, in
forms its, that he saw Barbadoes pa
pers containing London dates to the
18th Sept, blit their contents were
not of importance. The general
impression in England appeared, to
be that\ th'e hegoci&tions at Ghent
proved abortive. Lpfct Hill’s ekpe
ditipn had not sailed at that time t
and 1 there appeared t 6 be a disposi
tion on the part of the British ’gov
ernment to suspend the embarkation
until the result of the Vienna Con
gress,* ThV affairs df the continent
were very far from being permanent- *
ly settled ; and events of great Im
portance were apprehended.
The French expedition had ar
rived from Brest at Martinique, but
the tropps were only ,/ permitted to
encamp—the Governor Availing ‘the
orders of the British Government to
put them in thd forts.

\ Relative to the heavy cannonding
heard off our bar on Monday last,

paper of ‘Tuesday, nothing satisfac*
lory is yet known. The British fri
gate Lacedemonian was off the bar
On Sunday evening, with two schoo
ners in company, and there is rea
son to fear it\may have been her and
■the. Wjfftp particularly rs it be true
that the latter vessel, as states some
dhys since in the Savannah papers,
had attempted to'get into that port
and was forced off bjr{U blockading

Before this reaches you, informa
tion will have been received ot my
visit td Pensacola. Lt was occasion
ed by the unprecedented conduct of
the Governor of Pensacola, in bar*
bating, . aiding, * and countenancing
the British and their red allies. I
entered it sword in hand, with about
3000 brave followers! in the face of
Spanish hatteriesi and a British fleet
of seveii sail*. anchored abreast op
posite the town; . * » t v;, 4 * ■*£*■■■
The by intrigue Mid
base falsehood, induced the Span
iards to abandon the works com
manding the harbor, entered? them
and blew them up ; otherwise they
would have fallen, a sacrifice to their
own plans. When this tdok place,
tfhe fleet being at liberty to. go . ©lit
did so s and I evacuated the town,
leaving theSpanirirds favorably im
pressed as td our intrepidity 8t mag
nanimity, and disgusted with their
British friends. The hostile Indians
fled across the Bay at pur approach *
and have Vo doubt, lost all tonfidenod
in the assurances they have receiv
ed of British proiecßoft. They have
retired it is believed, towards Appa
lachicola in great alarm* A sudden
and energetic stroke now made,
whilst they are thus panic struck,
will effectually destroy all British
influence with the southern Indians.
The Seminolcs , however, it appears
| from information given by Col* Haw
kins, are preparing to assume an hos
tile attitude- When they hear of
the shameful manner in Which the,
,Red sticks were deserted by their
allies, they will wish to retract. Bift
they miist be chastised* I have
therefore instructed Maj. General
M’lutoish o detach such a number
from his command, as will, added 10
