On the river Sassafras, which empties itself into the bay, stood Georgetown and Fredericktown, two beautiful vil- lages situated nearly opposite to each other, one in Kent, the other in Cecil county. These had attracted the attention of tlie admi- ral. His hired agents, for miscreants may be found in every country for such purposes, had informed him, that here he might glut his crew with plunder. On tlie 6th, placing himself at the head of six hundred men, in eighteen barges, he ascended the ri...ver, and proceeded towards Fredericktown. Colonel Veazy had collected here about fifty militia ; and, on the approach of the barges, he immediately commenced a heavy fire with langrel shot and musketry. 'J'he greater part of the militia soon fied, leaving the colonel to oppose the enemy as he could ; he, notwith- standing, kept up a steady fire, until they approached so near that he was compelled to retreat. The admiral boldly advanced to the town, plundered the houses, and in spite of the entreaties of the women and children, again acted the incendiary.
