It would be impossible to put the action
of the 25th on paper. Considering the num-
bers engaged, the history of modern wars
will scarcely produce a parrallel. The ad-
miration of this nation will follow those who
fought, those who bled, and those fell, to
their graves ;—their names will be justly
added to that brilliant catalogue of worthies,
---the heroes of the revolution: and the
battle of Bridgewater, will be remembered
| by posterity, with the same sensations as
those of bunker Hill and Saratogo
Major General Brown was severely
wounded in the thigh (besides a contusion
| on his body,) in the hottest of the action, but
continued to command until the enemy re-
treated. Brig. geperal Scott was also se-
verely wounded by a grape shot in the sheul-
der, besides a severe bruise occasioned by
a shell or cannon shot, having lost two hort-
ses killed. Col. Brady, 22d infantry, Ma-

lieut. Camp, 11th, together with many o-
thers, whose name, we have not learnt,
were wounded, some badly.
The loss of the enemy in killed and woun-
ded, was rising eight hundred, exclusive of
200 regulars, and 20 officers prisoners.
Our loss in killed, wounded and missing’
is from 6 to 700. Major M:Farland, 23d’
capt. Ritchie, artil. Captains Kinney and
Goodwin, It. Bigelow, inf. and several other
officers, killed ; capt. Spencer, aid to major
gen. Brown, supposed to be mortally woun-

Che 9th, 11th and 25th, suffered very se-
erely.
The enemy’s troops who made a dash
at Lewistown, drove away the guard under
under Swift, took aa small quantity of bag-
sage, and the effects of several suttlers, kil-
lcd one of the volunteers, and re-crossed the
Fiver, and some of them were in the action.

FROM HALIFAX.
We have Halifax papers to the 18th
nst. The English June packet had arrived
here bringing London dates to the 8th of
June ; which are no later than those in the
Yaris papers.
They state the arrival there of the Uni-
ed States brig Rattletnake, of 14 guns, caps
ain Renshaw, a prize to the Leander of 50
guns, captured on her return from a cruize
n which she had taken and sunk a British
hrig and a schooner.
All the neutral vessels in Halifax, were
ordered to leave that port by the 14th, but
Ow.ng to strong representations of the mas-
ters and agents against it, the government
at length consented to relax the order, on
condition of their auchoring on the Dart-
mouth shore and remaining there until fug-
ther orders.

CAPTURE OF EASTPORT.
The capture of Eastport, on Moose Isl-
nd, in Maine, is fully confirmed, commo-
dove Hardy, by proclamation, invites the in-
abitants to take the follwing oath of alle-
lance, or quit the Island, with their proper-
i seven days.
«I swear thatl will bear allegiance to
Xing George the 2d, of the United King-
om of Great Britain and Ireland, and to his
cirs and successors ; and that I will not di-
ectly or indirectly, bear arms against him,
his heirs or successors, either by sea or
nd. So help me God.” :
We learn that about two/thirds of the in-
abitants had taken the oath, and were pur-
ing their customary business. “The laws
- the United States were to continue in
rce. Since the capture some reinforce-
nts have arrived.
¥ But little publick property was found

That the object of the British govern-
ment is to obtain possession of the Islands
of Passamaquoddy Bay in consequence of
their being considered our boundary line :
that they have no intention of carrying on
offensive operations against the people resi-
ding on the continent, unless their conduct
shouid oblidge us to resort to the measure ;

they will not be disturbed either in their
property or persos. ave the honor to

vant.

Extract of a letter from Machias—
“ We are at length tranquil, as we have
confident assurances that the British will
not advance westward of Moose Island.
Rely on this.”
The British have burnt Calvert County
Court House, and are in quiet possession of
Leonard town ¢ the capital of St. Mary’s
county (Md). They have also destroyed
property to a considerabte amount elswhere
in the neighborhood of those places.

A DAY
OF :
HUMILIATION, FASTING ANT
PRAYER,
APPOINTED BY THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
of the
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Hr
THAT WHEREAS Fasting is a known
duty of christianity and sanctioned by the
exmple of the Lord, and of the Church in
all ages :—Whereas during the past sea-
son several parts of our country have been
visited with various Judgements, whereby
multitudes of our fellow citizens have been
involved in sorrows; and many have been
brought down to death; and whereas Six-
which is the procuring cause of all calami-
ties, still greatly abounds in our land--there
fore,
Resolved, 1st. That we as a people are
loudly called to humble ourselves under
the mighty hand of God, and to repent in
dust and ashes.
2. That it be recommended to all the
churches under our care to observe the
THIRD THURSDAY OF AUGUST
NEXT, AS A DAY OF FASTING,
HUMILIATION AND PRAYER :—
And, on that occasion, that we do unitedly
confess our sins before Almighty Gad, and,
in the name of the Great Redeemer, implore
his pardening mercy, and sanctified use of
all the dispensations of his Providence,---that
we supplicate the Throne of Grace for a
plenteous cffusion of the Holy Spirit, a re-
vival of real religion throughout all the
Churches<~the blessing of God upon our
beloved country, and that he fill the world
with glory.
And, inasmuch as it has pleased God in
several parts of our country, in a great de-
gree, to mitigate the strokes of his wrath,
and moreover in many glorious instances to
grant a season of refreshing from his pre-
sence, whereby the hearts of his children
have been made glad, and their graces re-
vived, and by which many precious souls
have been hapily brought into convenant
with God—it is recommended, that, with
our petitions, we mingle praise and thanks-
giving for such manifestations of the ten-
der mercies and loving kindness of the
Lord.
