Great caution, however, ought to be tiled in the perufal of there comfbunications, as they originate front a quarter not very remarkable for its adherence to truth. But as the French are at this time the ccrmpleat and uncontrouled Tyrants of the Pref. of the Continent ; publifbing What will belt anfwer their views—we are reduced to the necelfity of ufing Inch materials as they are pleated to furnifh. The late[ papers received are thole of the loth alt. fo that we are Rill unable to faj any thing fur. ther refprAing the Armillice between France and Nail, repotted to ha►e been publithed in the Aro slave of the sift. It was currently reported yefterday afternoon, that hoftilities had commenced between the Ruffians and' the Fritsch, and that the former had obtained an ins: portant ♦iAory over the enemy. The following, we underaand, is the authority on which this intelligence seas:—Mr. SCHULTZI, a refpeaable meichant in the city, has arrived from Cuxhaven, which place be left on the 26th ch. Before he failed, accounts were faid to have arrived of the defeat of Maraud Ds von sr. who was attacked by the Ruffians, near Pofen, and completely routed. It was added, that the Ruffians had burnt Pofen, and as they advanced farther, bad marked their vengeance on every town that had ma nifefted any difpofition to favour the French. This intelligence contributed fomewhat to the rife of the funds, which took place yefterday. Some bargains were made for Omnium at two per cent. premium. The report, however, does not appear very pro. bable. The Ruffians were advancing in the expec tation of finding a powerful PrufGan army with which to co-operate, and could neither, as to fupplies nee force, be prepared to cope tingly with the French. It is very liksly, therefore, that the RUMATIS, on hear. ing of the Our difcomfiture of the Prullians, would, as has been limed in accounts before received, halt or fall back to make arrangements fuitable to the change of hircumflances. If this be the cafe we could not fo Coon bear of any meeting between them and the French. Another circumllance, namely, the arrival of a Dutch eel fcboyt in the River, bringing advice of the embargo being taken off the ports of Holland, contri buted to make the Fund. look up. It was believed in the City in confequence, that Koiphaufen, Papen burgh, and Danilh veffeh would be permitted to pars, as heretofore, with proper licenfes, as well to the ports of Holland, as to the ports in the Wefer, the Elbe, and the Ems. All veffels under Ruffian, Swedifb, and Englith flags, are ordered to be detained in the Dutch ports. Letters from Bremen mention, that French troops had been put on board all veffels in that port, to prevent their failing, until it Ihnuld be afcertained whether they were Ee.glith, or had Btitiat goods on board. His MAJUTT Came to town yellerday fr,•m Wind for, and held a Conrt at the (Z2een's Palace. At two o'clock, a Private Levee commenced, which was nanseroully attended.

To the hfiniftelial circles it is repotted that Government have no in tention to have lecourfe to fuch a mcafure, and that at prefent it is unneceffary, the principal Rock, the Confols, being now (but, and obliged to be fo till the yth of January. In the City, however, it is eon 6• dently believed that fuch a 'mature, if not already adopted, is refolved upon by Minillers, and that in eireks which we knew to have the laza infatuation.

The prifoner was &only afterwards brought back with the candleflicks (which were found on him) by a conflable, and two other parlous ' in the neighbour hood, who were alarmed by Mrs. H.'s nineties. Mrs. Foyle, the wife of Mr. S.

Neither ilk nor Mrs. Handcock could identify the prifoner at the bar as the ;rake teen in the pagage or area, but (wore pofitively to the property, being marked with the arms of the England, a coottabk, met the prifoner in the co lonnade, on the acids, with the candlefticks in his poffeffion, and flopped him on bearing the outcry I' and with the affillance of Randal End Ruby, neigh* bourn, brought him hack, whereupon he was commit ted to piton; from the time of his being ken in the area, to his apprehenfion, was not above three mi nutes. The prifoner pleaded his ignorance or any thing relating to the robbery: Rated he had found the eandlefticks lying in part of the colonnade, but could adduce no witnefs with refpea to his charaßer. The Learned Judge obferved, there could not exift a doubt with refpea to the prifoner's guilt, from the conneeted chain of cirenmflantial evidence adduced ; ' the only plaufible detente he could urge, confidering the quicknefir of his deletion and arrell, would have been that he had received them from another, which defence the prifoner had not attempted to make. The Jury, without retiring, found the prifoner Guilty— Death. Wading Herbert, a private foldier of the Fiat Regi ment of Guards, for ahi way robbery on Samuel GJmes, fervent to R. Fits•Georyge Stackpole, Efq. of rofvenor place, on the ad of left month, in Hyde Park, and taking from his perfon a tol. Bank of England note, a 11. ditto, and a laver tooth pick cafe. The circulations,' of the cafe, as Read in evidence, were briefly there'— The Profecutor, Samuel James, was croffing Hyde Pack from Cumberland Gate, between eight and nine o'clock in the evening above - mentioned ; and when palling near the Baron, met the prifoner, who was in the undrefs jacket and round hat id - gaily worn by his Regiment when on drill. The prifoner looked tharply in his face as he paled him, and then loomed about, followed him ' and allied him what o'clock it was ; He anfwered, about half pall eight. The pd. loner, after following him force way further. tripe up his heels, and at the fame time knack him with his fill from behind, and knocked him down. He then put his foot upon his break, and raid. w d—n your eyes I deliver your property." Without wait ing, he began to fearch for the Profecutor's watch ; but not readily finding it, thrull his hand into his pocket and took therapist a tot. note, a il. 'vote. and a fairer tooth pick cafe : but left a guinea and Tome flyer, which he did not immediately find ; and then ran if towards Kenfingron Gardens.— The Profecutor followed him tome way, but was afraid to venture farther, left he might be at tacked by Tome of his accomplices. The paifoner (hewed no arms or weapon of any kind. The prole. eutor immediately recolleCted that the regiment was quartered in Portman.ltreet barracks ; and he dire ly battened thither to enquire if any foldier anfwer ing the prifoner's defcription, had recently entered there, and to acquaint the officer of the guard with the robbery. The Berjeaot immediately orderedte• fore him fuck foldiers as had recently come in ; bat none of them was the man. The prolicutor left his charge with the ferjeant, and his addrefs. On the evening of the 9th he was fent for to attend on Cap. tain Rainsford, of the regiment, at the barrack, but could not go until next day, when (even , men, all with the fame undrefs uniform, were drawn out for his infpeaion, and he immediately knew, and was pofitive to the Prjfoner, who, on being charged with the robbery, kid he litotild make his defence when he was brought before a Magiflrate. It appeared that the prifoner's detellion at the bar. rack erofe through the dikovery of another private, named Gibbon, who was eentinel at the barrack gate, at the time the Profecutor came to make the enquiry immediately after the robbery , and faw the Priloner come running into the gate pall bins, at a quarter • before nine, fhortly before the Profecutor came to make enquiry, and give the alarm. Next mottling,' about five, Gibbon went up to the Prifoner's room, where he was in bed, told him he had been doing a itryvyjob for himfelf, and then mentioned that *gen tleman had come to complain of this robbery of two one pound notes jai after he came running in al the gate ; and fuppoled he was the perfon. The Prifoner only laughed ; and, raking his breeches from under his bother, took (oak paper from the pocket, and gave it to Gibbon to examine, who found it was a bank note, but did not kunw for how much, as the morning was dark. The prifoner defired Gibbon to put it into his greet coat pocket, and then obferved, that if the Gentleman fliould call again and know him, the note would not be found on him. Gib bon did fo. The fame morning both went on duty. the one upon the Kind's guard, the other upon the Queen's. At dinner time they againmet going for their meth to Portman-firm barracks and on their way the prifoner propofed to change the note. They went for the porpofe to the public houfe of a man named Shaw, called for fame beer, and then diced the girl if her mailer could change a pound note. Gib bon gave her the note, and fhortly after Shaw c a m e from his bar, and afire if they knew what note they bad (cot to be changed. Gibbon anfwered, aRL nevi Shaw raid it was a t 01. note, and espreffed Comm fur. prize they Ibauld not know, adding, that he had not fo much change. The Pr ironer anrwered. it was only a tniftake that Gibbon made, in not knowing it was a sot. and raid they would leave t h e note , and call I again for the change, which Gibbon did Monty after, and received the wh ole, deducing for three pots of beer they had. He gave the change to the prifoner, who only kept a ;l. note, and infifted ongiving Gibb on the remainder. as dare of the fpoil. There latter has were fupported by the teftimony of Sbaw, who re membered both the Prifoner and Gibbon being at his honfe, and having given change fur the tot. on the back of which, as he remembered, part of the name written was ding George. In his defence the priloner alledged that he had not robbed the profecutor. On the evening alluded to, he admitted he was in the Park. 'The profecutor came up to him and entered into converfanon, afking him to gti with him, and making to him propolik of a hametul and unnatural kind. The priloner ex preffed his difapprobation of inch proceedings, when . the profecotor held out to him a piece of paper like a note, which the prifoner laid hold of, and giving the profecutor a puffy made off with it. In other refpeas he agreed with the dory of Gibbon. Mr. inflict Otos', after recapitulating the evidence, remarked on the improbability of the tale now told by the prifoner, while he might have developed it with fo much propriety to his companion Gibbon, when he heft informed him °Cats _perfon who complained of the robbery having called at the barracks. Had his tale been true, no robbery had been combined bot be (the prifoner), was bound, as a good member of fnclay, to fee the guilt of the profecutor deteacd. When called on &ft for his defence, however, be bad Rated that he would referee it oil he came before a magift rate ; and e'en when he came there, fo far from appearing, as he ought to have dose, if his Rory was true, the accufer of the profecutor, be dill allowed himklf to appear as the criminal-, and now, for the 6th time. brought forward his orsfubilantiated charge again& the profetutor. On the whole ha kh the Jury to confider the probability of the damson* t of the prifoner, above that given by the prokartor, .futiftantiated as the latter had been, and to give fuck verdia as they might think belt The jury immediately found the prifoner—Grifty. ffilhatr Hari was iodiaed for robbing David Raw. tins, a taylor, in the night, between the t ash and t atb of November, on the Kidg's highway, in Parliament. fireet, Weßnainfter, of A quantity of cloth, a pair of pantaloons, and Come other articles.
