There have been also serious disturbances in dificrent parts of the United States, and particularly at Baltimore. The Federal Rtpublicai , , a journal of some celebrity, published there, hcving rendered itself obnoxious by its opposition to the popular measures, the mob of Baltimore made an attack on the house of the editor, at midnight on the 27th July, which was resisted low the inside with Eire arms. In the morning the house was evacuated, and its defenders consented to go into the town jail for security, under the guarantee of General Striker and time Mayor. In the afternoon, on the suggestion of a pubic journal, the mob re-assembled, attacked the jail, and fell upon the prisoners with clubs and' knives. Some of tln'm rush,d out and escaped - ; the others were wounded, and lef for dead outside the prison. General Lingan,A man 70 yea's old, was killed on the spot. General Lee, the cele brated partizan in the American war, was stabbed, and not expected to survive. The civil authority was called out during this outrage, but it had either not the power or the will to move; the armed force disappeared, and the mob were left to execute the full measure of their vengeance. The particulars will be found in our preceding columns. The tone of the most furious of the war partizans in Ame rica has been lowered, by the disappointment of their first expectations. Tney had prepared the public mind for a great blow against our Jamaica, Quebec, and Leeward island fleets, and the 'tambours of America were to be full of the fruits of Commodore RODGER'S cruise. But the ba lance of captures has been considerably against him, and of Commodore HooGEas and his squadmon no certain intelli gence had been received. But, from the exultation ex pressed at the safe return of one of the American frigates, the Constitution, we may infer that they would be glad to see the same good luck attend the remainder. It is quite as however, that RODGERS will *e carried into Halifax, as that he will effect his retreat to New York. He was very near our flitadr ; and, indeed, one account states, that they were in sight of each other about the 10th of ,August. INDIA. Calcutta Journals have reached us to the Ist of March. They furnish interesting matter from that quarter. It would appear that a turbulent spirit has shewn itself lately amongst several of ti e Indian Chief;, who have given some c,m3e of unrasin-ss to the British and their allies. Amongst the principal of -those is the Rajah of CAL LINJUR. This Chief took ocetsion to thiow oil' his allegiance, and to esta bli,h an independent authority in the fort and territory coinmitted to hi' charge. Some inronveniencr had been experienced hy him from. the :ime that it was deemed ex pedient to deurand the ce ,, ion of his fortress. With this demand he refu,ed to comply ; and the siege .0f Callinjur - • • • ...•, THE NATIONAL REGISTER. SFPT. 7. was the consequence. The place having been regul ar l y in vested it became necessary to storm it, which it wa s on the 30th of January. The British endeavoured to carry it into effect, but we ale sorry to say, without success, and at a considerable sacrifice of men. The loss of the killed and wounded of the 53d regiment was 122 men, among whom arc included all the Officers present, with the exception of Colonel NIAWBERY and another. This loss fell principally on the grenadier company, who advanced with seventy men and returned with only seventeen. The loss of the native troops was also considerable. After the failure of the attack, however, it appears that Callinjur uhtnaiely capi. tulated on the same terms proffered to the Rajah r ev i ous to the . siege ; namely, to resign the fort, and to be :utter e d to retain his lands, which are said to yield a revenue of about one lac of rupees. It appears by accounts received from S.r Home POPH AM, that a report had reached him from Saldana, that JOSEPII Buorta PARTE had Leen surprised at Tarrancon, taken uti soner, and the whole of his army killed and wounded. This Sir HOME mentions as he received it. Part of the Quebec fleet is a. rived, and there are no apnre. hensions entertained for the safety hf the rema'nder. The fleet amounted to 80 sail, and parted 17 s since to the eastward of the Banks of Newfoundlind. The Minerva frigate, with seven transports, and 1,600 troops, were going up to Quebec, as the above ships came down the ► i vet-. One of the transports, No. 239, with WO soldiers, having patted the convoy, was captured by the American frigate Essex, but ransomed for 12,000 dollar s. Paris Papers to the 7th have reached town, but they con tain no official intelligence from the armies. Thete are, :however, some farther details relative to the actions at Sino lensko, in which it is stated, that the Russians are retreating •: upon Moscow. The cause of the meetings of the Conserva tive Senate remains unexplained. The passage of MAssENA, followed by reinforcements, through Bayonne, in order to take the command of MA R MONT's army, is repeated in the French Journals. Extract of a letter from off Flushing, dated September 4 —" Sir,—A subscriber to your excellent paper begs to in• form you, for public information, that a native of Flushing, with his family, made his escape from that place yesterday, and came into our fleet for protection. Ile informs the Commander in Chief his motive for so doing is to avoid the impress, which is general, and with little distinction in tha t , place, and the enemy are determined to force a fl eet of SO sail of the line to sea immediately." Extract ofa letter received by a Gentleman in Leith, from off the Banks of Newfoundland, dated August 8 :—" Unfor tunately war has commenced between the United States and Britain. Yesterday we met the British squr,dron; the Po mona, in which I sailed from Liverpool, was taken and burnt; we were taken on board the 4Eolos frigate, where I have met with very kind treatment." On Thursday last an Extraordinary Gazette was published containing dispatches from Major-General CooKE, dated August 26, announcing the hasty retreat of the French from before Cadiz, with the abandonment of most of their guns, which they had badly spiked. The park and tower guns were immediately ered, to celebrate an event which may be considered, if not as a victory in itself, y et as an immediate and most important consequence of the battle of Salamanca, Land the occupation of Madrid. General SA KR 4ZIN has at length received a passport from the Alien Office, to proceed to Sweden, and is about to quit London. k
