WAR BETwWEeN FRANCE anD
SPAIN.
Captain William A. Perry arrived at
Marblehead on Sunday night last from
St. Martin’s, which place he left the
16th of April, and brings the following
IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE :
—That the day he failed, a brig ar
rived from St. Lucie, the Master of
which (James Greene) informed Capt.
Perry among many other gentlemen,in
the public coffee-houfe in that place,
that an English man-of war arrived at
St. Lucie the day before he left it, the
Commander of which informed the
Yrench Commadore there, that WAR
trict ‘the Judges, &c. assembled
to open the Circuit-Court—but
the place appointed by law for
holding the fame, was many feet
under water—which circumitance
obliged the Judges to order the
crier to pass to the fpotinacanoe,
ard open and adjourn the Court
from day. to day—ot course no
business was done.
MAY Q.
A gentleman from New-York informs
us.that a few days since a daring design
was formed by the laborers who made
the vaults, &c. of the Branch-Bank of
the United States, at New-York to rob
the chests of the fame ; but on the day
preceding the night on which the plan
was to be put into execution, one of the
gang made a discovery of the plot—and
the persons concerned in it—several of
whom have been apprehended and se
cured in gaol. Their objet was to
force the doors, murder the persons who
slept in the Bank, and having plunder
ed the vaults the cash was to be convey
ed to an armed boat which was prepa
red for the purpose.
