Barney's naval flotilla, have been slowly falling back and keeping between the encmy and the city. ~After spending last night at Old Fields, in Maryland, about miles from the city, the Americans, un- der command of Gen. Winder, fell back farther, and late. today were formed on the city side of the bridge over the Eastern Branch. If it appears tomor- row or late tonight that the British intend to take the road to Bladensburg. where the river is easily fordable, the Americans will be hurried to man the breastworks which citizens have been throwing up at that point Thus far the British have met with no oppesition on their slow march from the Patuxent River toward Washington.
