! tii.k,

The public have been informed that Roberts war
apprehended on Saturday aliernooa, at the itoyal
Oak. near Vauxuall Turnpike; but as no parti-
cular* have triesupsreili, we give the following.—ln-
tormetien of Robtrtiet abode was firm received 1.3
tsr. Bank Directors, sod they immediately re-
p sired to Marlborough-street. and after procur-
ing a smirch warrant, four officers. viz. the two
Fags, Craig, cud Burton. avcompanied by Messrs.
Glower and Lig.. Bark Investigators,• repaired
to the Royal ak. and having readered escape
there impassible, by barricading the house. they
inquired of the landlord who want his ninnies.
Two of the officers repaired up stairs, and they
found Robert Roberta in a back rooms which
was potitioned, ins the first floor. He was surprised
and seised, and, on searching him, a brace of loaded
porno's was foetid to his pockets. together with a las-sr
clasp knife. The Prisoner was much agitated at the
moment of his apprehension, but after having been
securely ironed, he recovered himself, and inquired
who had betrayed him. He observed, that he should
act ma Gentleman, and attempt no resistance. but
he regretted that he had placed too much confidence
in man. On him were found Bank Netts to the
amount of two hundred pounds, hat on exasnioing
them, they all proved to be forgeries. The Prisoner
was conveyed to Marlborough-street Office, and
committed from thence to Neugate, as has already
been stated. Roberts had been a fortnight in
Iris lodgings, and he often walked out notivith•
standing ins situation. He gave his name Sidney,
at the house, and saw several persona whilst lie was
there. _ _

Another persoo, charged with being concerned
with Roietrts and Armstasse is the Dividend
sine*, whose name is Fugerd, a trademistess in
the City, was also secured ou Saturday. by
the City Officers, about the time of Roberts's
detection. The prisoner, Robert.. will undergo
an examination in • few day 4 on the sub-
ject of his escape from Cold-bith-fiielda ; and
the public will soon ha►e some additional, lights
thrown on that ambiguous basin... Some other
important information hue beta rec.,ived. whit h
