The British force, consisting of two large ships, 2 frigates, and several small vessels, continues at the mouth of the Patuxent. We learn by a gentleman just from thence that the enemy had attempted a landing from his barges, but they were met & repelled by Capt. Carberry's command of the 56th regiment, without any loss on either side. A marauding party landed a few nights ago, under cover of the darkness, and stole from their beds a gentleman by the name of Jaba and the overseer of his farm, who were dragged off to the fleet by the dastardly ruffians.
