I' ilf^amtngton, ^ ^ SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1813. The l.-itrrt accou7its from Albany, Maj Gon. Dcar'jon bad resiRned and was too sick to be removid from Niagara. Gen. Lewis waa on his way to SacUct.s Harbor. Gen. Hampton would succeed Dearborn in tile command. The American army at Fort George amounted to,6,00(l» whilo the British, probably inclHding Indians, hud IP,000; Commodore Yeo, had sent a Challenge to Com. Chaunccy, who had accepted it and would leave Sacket’s Harbor in a few days to meet him. A quantity of ilour-and corn 8tc for the army had been captured by the B itisli, who having the eonamand of the Lakes hsd taken several boats and made pre datory descents on towns on the margin of Uie lake—'Indeed the conquest of Canada seems farther off than ever ; and serioils ap prehensions may be fell for the safely of our main invading army. The following extract ifom the Virginia Patriot, shows that considerable apprehen sion has been felt* in the city of Richmond from an invasion nf the Englilb even to its very capitol— “ Oil the 30th ult about noon, nn rXpross arrived here to the Executive, giving inlbr- Biation that the British wns coming up James river, with their shipping, and that a number of l>argt:s transports Were landing troops on this side of the river, with an inteution it was suppo‘!»:d to come to Richmond. Alarm guns were iiumr- tliiitdly fired, and the whole city thrown into the greatest confusion, some suiTiJosint; from the suddenness of the alarm that the enemy was near at hand. In less than hidfun hour all the volunteer companies and the city militi.a, ns well as every otlier inhabitant able to shoulder a musket, as- sembled on the C.ipitol square, prepared to march to meet the foe. The nunilitr of ioldier and citizens :iisoni^*d ffn this occa sion could not lie less tRm 20U0. Half past 11 A M. ( riiiirsday) Captain' (iamhle’s Troop of Cavalry have juK returned from below, and con- fiim the intellig. nce received early tlus Biomiug, that the enemy landed at Sandy Point, but had rc-emhaiked„ and moved precipitately down the river.” Although all unite in tiie necessary de fence of their homes, yet very many will in hemrt deprecate a war which thus fills the bosom of their families with alarm, exposes their property to destruction and themselves to death. A War, whose only object «ow is to protect Britith.’botn lUitjecti from im pressment on the high teat by their natural and legitimate government. The Virginians, whenever they have had bn opportunity of cqnfroniing the enemy have displayed a brave and dol ing spirit.— -Hampton hart been evacuated. Mxtritet of a tetter from a gentleman in Mr. folk, to Me friend in thie to^on dated, NoaroLK, June 39. « After the attock on Craiiy Island, where the enemy Wat repuls,.d, they attacked H.impian with *obarges in font and troops In the r-nr ; their force w^ near 4000 man, ^nr force from 4 to JOO, who made a gallant defence and deserve the praise of our coun try, their retreat was a m isterly one iq the fecc of so powerful an army, and does credit to every offirer -and soldier. They succeeded in t.iking H.im,oion and paid dear ly for it, one Colonel killed and from one to 200 killed and wounded t our loss in killed wounded and missing lS. ^he gallant Mij. Corbin was wounded in the srin and leg, and bis horse shot in the neck ; ho remained on horseback for two miles, and is now with his worthy band at York, and 1 hope in God he may recover to receive the rewards due to eiitll and bravery. “ The British bare evacuated Hampton and areuow on board their ships. We mo mently expect an attack here ; every man is ready to do his duty and has full confidence In our General. Preparations are making for a vigorous defence ; every otic calm and Beterinined, and I tn-.st if llicy atUck us they will be defeated ” TJIE 4r* JVLT, Should be sayred to^ patriotism too virtn- SUS to be ^iHaptitpited by thet^cori uution of foreign power, too noble to act tinder the in fluence of selfish passions, loo elevated to Stoop to the suggestions of party, too disin- tcrested to ffr«;»t.teinplate office iU-Pcr. gpectivjl a patriotism pure, noble, eleva ted andfdisintercsUd, such as glowed in the bosom of Washington, and aUll animates the breasts of his true disciples. Snrh patrioU Ism as would engage in the conflict of war anly when It could no longer bo avoided with safety and honor ; aad when commenced, sfbuld ceodufit it with swiiw* and rngar to certain sneceM. in diii town the celebrat!- on of our independence was commenced db the eve oj' Jlia^memorable event. Oh the 3d uf July a dinner, with consequent Toasts, as will he seen in a communictitinn published in this Gazette, tfok place at Dick’s Hotel. In the afternoon the military uniform com panies of Ariillery, Infantry and Cavalry and the Mililja of the town paraded, were- drawn up in a han^ome line and fired in fes- tive graiulrtilon of the approaching anniver sary. The .\rtillery company appeared to mm'hjidvantBge ; the new Caps, which they for the first time wore, produced in front al view a very pleasing'cffcct. The device on them in painting is appropriate and hand somely executed. On the 4th (it being the Sabbath) all the Complies again appeared in uniform and formed a procession to Church, whei'e they heard an eloquent, ap propriate and evangelical discourse fyom the Rev. Adam Empie, preceded and concluded by prayers felicitouilv introduced and breath ing a spirit of pure patriotism at)d impassion ed devotion. On the following £y an En tertainment was provided on board the Gen eral Armstrong, a private armed ship, by her commander Captain Sinclair, an account ; qf which will be seen below. In thefven- | Ing the TheatreAvas opened for the occasion ' and during the cxltibition of Naval and ap- j propriate transpirencics, the following poe tical and patriotic .\(ldrcss was delivered : The msa whom nature forms, yet forms a slave, He may be rash, bgl never tiiily brave.
