Thurftlay laft, t c i r tlu day re commended by the president as a day o( failing, humiliation and m prayer, was obferved here with proper reflect and decorum. Thr piece from my female, thu' unknown correspondent under the lignature ol Molly, (hull be duly attended to. Hi $hly Important By the following e xtract of a lettei ti om a respectable mercantile house in New Orleans to a gentleman in th:s pltcejit appears that a considerable British force have at length made their appearance in that quafter, and succeeded in capturing or destroying the whole ol our flotilla on like Pontchartrain & Barratariaria This news, however disagreeable and unwelcome was not altogether unexpected. The great UDfriority of frce which the enemy could at all times bring atrauill our Imall naval armament on the Southern lakes, rend ered the profpect of fuccefsful re fiftance by water nearly hopelels, and the tn"ft heroic bravery uni-

irailing. We arc proud however to lcartl, that notwithstanding the immense upenority of the enemy our gallant tats fought With their ccultottied bravery, and that itthough their efforts we?e Unfortttnat U unfuccefsful, yet the gJr.rv of our flan; has loft none of its I U fire, and we trust that the enemy, ssticCess on the v-arrr is Only a prelude to their overthrow on the land, ihould they havu die temerity to Attack the foices under the comjmand of the conqueror of the Crerks.
