Ifx;_ht alias Warren, the Individual who was formerly examined at this office on suspicion of his having been concerned in robbing the York and Edin burgh Mail, from several Bills of Exchange and Bank Notes being found in his po ion, known to have been sent by that conveyance, was yesterday again brought before the sitting Magistrate. There are strong suspicions that this man is using every artifice to alter the appearance of his person and countenance, in order to prevent his' eing iden tified by the witnesses adduced against him, and indeed these suspicions are strengthened by the testi mony of one of the gentlemen examined this day. who had since the last examination visited him in Clerkenwell Prison. The Prisoner was brought into the office with considerable difficulty, being lame, apparently in a dying state. and for some time seem ed totally incapable of attending to what was go ing forward, although he was perceived occasi onally to open his eyes. Mr. Hardyman said he was acquainted with the prisoner at Salisbury, in the year 1801, when he went under the name of U. Warreu, and was a player by profession. He did not know whether his name was George, but he always understood that he signed his name as above. Mary Banks, servant to Mr. R. Chamberlain., inn-keeper at Uttoxeter, in Staffordshire, said, she remembered of two Gentlemen coming to her mas.' ter's house upon the 17th of March, in a postchaise. nne of whom she thought was the Prisciter. (Hare r she was desired to exemine him as he sat at the Bar. and be then took care to shut his eyes.) She could not say positively whether he was she person or not, but she was rather inclined to think lie was. She knew that the other person's name was M'Coul, and she had seen him at a former examination upon his vial. She waited upon them, and they were par ticularly anxious in inquiring about the roads and s ! the distAnces, but nothing else of particular conse quence occurred in their conversation. Mr. Cham berlain's house is Ara 15 miles from Burton-upon- Trent. They left his house upon the 13th of that month. and went to Stone, in one of her master's chaises. Mr. Chamberlain. master to the preceding Wit ness, also remembered two persons coming to his house upon the day above alluded to, and that they wanted a chaise to go to Litchfield. Witness ob served to the post-buy who had brought them, that he had certainly taken them much cut of their way ; one way being IS. rad another. 13 miles. One of them (he believed M.Coui) inquired the way to the Punt-Office, where he went, and returned in ten mi- • antes, and said he would step all night. They or dered sapper, and one of them inquired anxiously about the roads, and as to whether it was a grOst or a cross-road they were to travel ? Next morning they went to Stone—f Here the Witisess'irat sheeva a poeiet-!vok). Ile saw, that pocketbook in the pos session of M'Cout, and it appeared filled with bills and notes ; and it was Irvin seeing such # quantity of them. that his suspicions were raised as to their being swindlers. Mr. Cooper, clerk to Messrs. Meek and Co. bankers, at Burton-upon-Frent, spoke as to one of the bills, now produced, and which was for 1501. having been discounted by that Company, to a person whom ha believed to be the Primmer ( Heee file Wikeeis Was shrws a Book _Neu J . That was the note he had given in part payment of the bill he had before spoken of. He had since last exami nation seen the Prisoner when in prison. The length of time sins*. the. above transadion took place,, and the apparently bad state of the Pri soner's health.' prevented him from being able to speak positively as to his person. Me Lad no fur ther observations to make in addition to his former examination. ' Interrogated by Mr. Avionsws, the Prisoner's Counsel—Since last examination, he had been with the Prisoner for three quarters of an hour, and had endeuvoured to comets., with him, but he (the Fri. soner), was then so ill, that he could not speak. Interrogated by the M•uisr arerlt—There were several people about him who appeared to be his ltiends. particularly a young woman, whom h: aought he had seen before. He, upon entering thee Prisoner's apat tment, noticed her to give a signal to the Prisoner, who immediately sank down, and lay, apparently unwell, in his chair, although the Witness had seen him sitting up and writing. She whispered to him, as he (Witness) conceived, that some person was come to observe him. He threw down his pen, feigned himself sick, and remained in thin situation all the time the Witness was pre sent. He said he had a 'very violent pain in the stomach, and that several remedies had been tired, but nothing did him good. The Wltness conceived that this young woman took a great deal of pains to prevent the Prisoner from bring known, but the Witness • now thought the Prisoner much more Lite the man he had lust alluded to, since he was shaved and cleaned. (Here inquiry was made for the young woman mentioned by this Witness, but it was found that she had left the office immediately atter assisting the Prisoner out of the hackney..coach to the Bar.) Mrs. Esther Gottinby, of whom the Prisoner had taken lodgings. No. 100, Oxford-street, and who hat been formerly examined, was again interro gated, more particularly as to dates. She stated, that in the mouth of Sep:en:llot last, a Mr. Parry, of Portland -street. CAM! to her house. and hired a garret at C. J. per week, saying, it was for a friend of his, who, having tailed, was coming Irons the country, along with his wife. l*he Prisoner was the person alluded to, and re came, with a young woman, upon the Itith of tb.,t month. Parry be came security or the rent. Site did not then know the Prisoner's name. but having gone to Green wich, she, upon her return, leai tic tfem liar brrvaate that this young woman called herself Hope. and she (the Wanes.) ever alter wards called him by that name, as d:d also her huserand. She observed Lou, that Mr. fairy, wren he called, always inquired for the Prisoner by the name of Hope.— The PriLtaaer used to be away very mien. which occasioned tier, the Witness. to be uneasy. thinking that he had been arrested. Chi. was owing to what Mr. Parry had told tier. S..e had looked at tier memorandum book, but had found nothing that could lead het to state tar particular times when the Prisoner went out of to en. She was at first paid her rent weekly, then by the fortnight, and lately by L.„••. . , three weeks. Foreseeing that the yodrg siodetn was about to lie-in, she, the Witness, desired the Prisoner to provide some necessaries. She had no particular conversation with him concerning this young woman, whom she at that time discovered was not his wife, and learned that her name was Cockel. The Prisoner was away in the month of March, but she did not know where he WAS. tie left her house altogether in April, and she had kept both the woman and the child ever sauce, without getting a farthing of money. She understood that he had another lodging in Par:land-street, and that he had taken her lodgings merely for the 01, but he occa sionally slept with her at the Witness's house. and frequently eat and drank with her. After having left the Witness's house altogether, he wro'e her a note, inclosing two Bank notes, of pound each, for the use of the young woman, and they wet e be stowed accordingly. He had written to the Wit nest, because the girl could not read, and had signed the name of 't J. Knight ;" that was the fitst time he had used that name. During his absence, the girl used to borrsw a few shillings from the Witness. as she said she had no money. She under stood his name was John, as the child WAS S') called after his name. Upon receiving the note, the Wit ness observed to the girl that it was signed' Knight,' and she smiled, wad answered, that that WAS his real name. Mr. Collins. a Clerk to Messrs. Wild and Co. Bankers. at Snothwell, in Nottinghamshire, stated, that upon the I 1 th of March lase he Made up a .iparcel of bills and notes, of which the bill alluded to by Mr. Cooper, the former Witness, aas one. and addressed it to 1 ' Messrs. Kensington, Styan, and Adams, bankers, in Lombard-street." He de livered it to the Post-master's daughter, to be sent by the coach to Newark, and from thonre to be conveyed to town by the mail, called the York and Edinburgh Mail. The parcelwas afterwards missed, and he never knew what had become of it. Hertthe further investigation of this curious ac I interesting business, was stopped by the non-attend ance of the Attorney employed for the prosecution. Me. Kensington, the Banker, and several other respectable gentlemen of that profession, had at tended with considerable Inconvenience t. them. selves ; and the Mao:STRATI could not help regret ting the necessity of a further postponement. He, however, thought that sufficient evidence was al ready adduced to warrant him in the of the Prisoner for trial. Mr. Arsonaws. the Prisoner's Counsel, objeSed to such commitment. on account of the evidence intended to have beets hrougU forward not being completed. After tome conversation upon this point, Mr. Tuarois yielled to that proposal on behalf of the Prisoner ; edict was accordingly only taken to his former place of "ecesfitientent. and a distant day agteed upon for further minination. GUILDHALL. YOUTIIFUI. DEPRAVITY. Thisrlay, the long-depending gemination of Pereele, the receiver of the pocket-handkerchias stoien by the youthful depredators and others, at Bartholomew Fair. was finally disposed of before the Worshipful Aldermen (Wierea ;) but strange as it may appear to many, owing to the reluctance of people in general, in Incurring the loss of time, and espenseof criminal prnseentieeeefor acts of the above nature, as the Alderman observed to the Pri sriner, no charge was brought home azainsit him, although uo doubt could be ratefta:ned of his guilty practices. The Mamma-re strongly urged the i'risener to reform his life, and animadverted upon the moral baseness and wickedness ef the cor.duCt imputed to him. The Prisoner raid, he should never more have any thing to do with such prailices ; he declared that he was very sorry for the past, and was dis charged. *e" OLD 8.411EY, Sternest& 9.4. ffesee4 Torbi-, a •smasher, was coax;fifed of fraudulently tittering bale cola.

Having b-en suspeded, a trap was laid, is which the Prisoner was unwarily caught. A man, named Richardson, called upon her, at her house, in Nightingale-lane,' to look at her lodgings. The con lion then turned on the purchase of base coin, when he bought sixteen shillings for three half-Browns. Richardson then gave vie s.gial to at. officer in attendant% mid Sl* Prisoncr was caught in the faft. 3sigis 5 •L Thomas Ner06011111.7 edikely ten years old, was found geilly of shallot a Watch, the property of a Mrs. Laurence.

It appeared, from the testimony of the Prose cutor, that hetet° entered into a contrAft with the Prisoner, to allow him three-halfpence on every bushel of coals which the latter should sell. The coals were to be paid for . every day ; but the P:i sow contrived to get a running account, and made some bettious returns of customers, on Lr.-elit to Palliser. The Recount' did not gee how the indiltment could be supported. and the Jury defeated the Prisoner. The report that all the vessels seized under the recent Decree in Holland. have beet► condemned, is partly incorred. None of the vessels in the port of Rotterdam have been yet condemned. Letters from that place of the 19th. state, that the rigour with which the recent Dutch decree is extcuted, if not its original issue, is ascribed to the order of our Council some weeks since, for prohibiting any direa commerce between neutral states and any ene my's port. In consequence of this order, the Agents of the Dutch Government question the authen ticity, and generally rejed as forgeries any neutral papers produced to them, alleging their opinion, that it the vessels really ssileJ from such neutral polls, they would hare been captured by some cr our cruisers, which abound upon the coast; and, that having escaped, they must bay, come from England Tun suipicion is ,o indiscriminate as to include and to embarrass all neutrals. - ----- for his seat, i If Lord and r• at their hous Grantham.
