'II MM From the Georgetown Federal Repubii Vs cn August Destruction of the American On the morning of the 24th instant, the troops of this District, which had encamped in the city of Washington ihf Tirprpilinrr ivininnr. rr nr. the American army were about 7000.. In and near the road which leads to the city, Com Barney's men and the marine corps were posted, with a formidable battery of artillery. In their rear, to left of the road, wTas lajor Pcters's artillery.

Another battery of six pieces, from Baltimore, was ptaced in such a position on the left as to rake the bridge, and was covered' by a rifle corps. The infantry of the" District, under the command of Gen. Smith, were placed on the left of the road. Gen. Stansbiry's bri gade, and the 5th Baltimore regiment, for the bridge, when the Baltimore artillery opened a galling fire upon them.

They proceeded on with jfreat rapidity, and, passing, the bridge, divided into two columns. One charged on the Baltimore artillery, and compelled them to retreat. Burch's artillery, 5tli Baltimore regiment and Stansbury's brigade began firing, but an apple orchard prevented the fire of the latter being eflective. The other column proceeded along the road, the passage of which was gallantly contested by Barney and the marines, under capt. Miller.

Thc battle continued about three quarters of an The 5th Baltimore regiment maintained the ground with firmness, and fought well. Stansbury's brigade gave way as soon as exposed to the enemy's fire, and the general himself, as we have been assured by several ofli ccrs, was the first in flight. The exam ple of these men was soon followed by Miller of the marines were both severely wounded and were taken prisoners, with many of their men also wounded. All the volunteer corps of the District displayed great bravery, and no want of firmness was shown by the militia until after the flight of Stansbury's men. The right wing which had no share the action was composed of the regular troops, belong to the 36th and 38th regiments, amounting to 500, and part of the militia from Montgomery, Allegha ny and Prince George counties, in Ma ryland, Virginia.

The retreat was rapid and disorderly At Capitol If ill the district volunteers and some companies of militia were rallied, but orders were given to continue the retreat, and the inhabitants of Washington and Georgetown had the mortification to see the whole body pass thro' their streets in disgraceful flight. The retreat was continued till the troops reached Montgomery court house, 1 8 miles from the battle ground, and almost exhausted with fatigue, arid without camp equipage, the baggage waggons having, been sent across the Potomac bridge, and ordered up the Virginia shore. Before the retreating troops reached Georgetown, the Secretary of the Navy passed through the place, and recommended to the citizens to make the best terms they could with the enemy. The made, his escape by crossing Mason's Ferry into Virginia The second day after the battle he passed through Bockvllle, Montgomery county, to Brookville in the same county, where he arrived at nine in the night, escorted by 20 dragoons. He was taken in at the house, of one of the Society of Friends, having rode thirty miles since breakfast," as he stated, over a dreadful road, without any dinner." The next day, being joined by Col.

Monroe, he found his 1 1 'to iiid his quarters have ilrice been at the. W'. W' 1 Rouses of Xiis different friends.

The force that marched to the city two hours after the skirmish at Bladensburg consisted of about 1,500 men, that.were not in the actiou, as it terminated before they could be brought up. They pro ceeded slowly and with the greatest cau ide the fate of the city of Washington. Arrived at the entrance of the town, op postc Mr. Gallatin's late dwelling, Gen. Boss, at the head of his troops, halted, expecting that the city would propose terms of capitulation.

While in this situation, a shot from Mr. Gallatin's house killed the horse on which Gen. Ross rode. The house was instantly set on fire, and orders were at once given to burn the Capitol. We have stated nothing that we do not the militia of the District, and a treneral religiously connae as true.
