one of the proprietors of, the Bedford Bank, sent a
parcel by the Bedford coach,' to Messrs. Harrison,
the bankers, of London, their agents,
.containing-
Bank of England mites and country Bank tidies to'
the amount'of t ,2001,:by which Cave'yanee heuia.
b'een in the habit of2sending notes for .-upWkrils Of
seven years past, and they always arrived safe. Orr.
Banard advised Messrs:-Harrison of the retiaittatioe
but it not; coming tehand, they applied at the Cross
Keys Inn, in St. John's-street,. but it was not to
be found ; in 'conSetinence of -whiA Mr. Barnard
came to London, and he and Mr.-Harrison sent
for Townsend on Tue,scia'y :last, who, on being in
formed of the circinustance,sepposed that the par-
cel had been stolen by wine bld thief, who had
got inforniation of the parcel, cot tAttingthat im-
mense property, ha% ing been sent in the coaclie
they inquired for the coachman, and were informed
he was at Bedford; bin would be in Lotidein informs
-
Wednesday afternbon. ToWniend, together 41017'
Macmanus,' made the necessary inquiries: of
parties who were likely to give information.. re-
speding the loss of the parcel; 'and On Wedties-'
day evening -they brought them before 'llllri'
GRAHAM : the Bedford coachman, the book-keeper.-
of the Cross-Keys Inn, in St. John-street, and the
'landlord 'and three ,of the passengers who ivere'lh
the coatth travelling from Bedford to Louden, at
the cline the parcel Was- 'tient. It appeared-from
their testimony, that the parcel Wai.regularly put
into the coach at Bedford ; the coachman reool-
leiaed putting the parcel into the seat of the coach;
he saw ,nothing of it atierwards, as 'he did not un-
lead 'the Coach. It was unloaded by thelancilord
and book-keeper; thekihinied -knowinrany thing
of Tltree of the passengers, who attended, are
highly respeCiable inhabitants of Bedford, and well
known to each othei; 'they all denied seeing it ;
the fourth passenger is a respeekable .ri'adesinau'a
!, wife, who resides in Fetter-lane, and could not et-
tend, but will be vresent at the next investigation.
AboUt three weeks since, a feniale of genteel ap-
pearance, who lodged with 'Mrs. Darville, in 'Leices-
ter-square, very unexpectedly left the house. Soon
after she was gone, Mrs. Darville discovered that she
had been robbed of bank-notes and bills to the
amount of .ieB.s. a pearl necklace, a diamond ring;
diamond brooch, several trinkets, and, ot her pro,.
perry to a considerable amount.—Mrs. Danville sus-
peded the lady who lodged with. her, whose name
is Morgan.
- About a week since Anthony received a letter
from a Police Officer, at Portsmduili, stating, that
a woman was in custody there, on charges of seve.
ral robberies, and she being from London, roquest-
ed to know if Anthony knew her; having-sent a
full description of her person, Anthony recognisait
to answer -exaetly the description of the woman
who had robbed Mrs. Darville. He communicated
his information to Mr. GRAHAM, who, having re-
ceived several informations of depredations which
she had committed, sent Anthony, on Monday, to
Portsmouth, to bring her to town, and the. officer
arrived -with her on Wednesday, morning. In' the
evening she underwent an examination before Mr.
GRAHAM, and was committed for further examine
tion.

The Prisoner is a very handsome young woman,
and an elegant figure : she .has had a liberal educa-
tion, and is very, accomplished. She is a natural
daughter of the late General Spray. She married
Lieutenant Morgan, of the Marines, aborut five years
since, but left him two years and a half ago, and.
went off with a naval,officer, and has taken to very
loose ways. A person who knew her at Portsmouth
wrote to her sister in London respeCting her, who
returned .for answer; :that her sister had conduCted
herself so extremely ill, that she would fKaye nothing
to do with her. When. the Prisoner was taken at,
Ports Mouth, a gown, which she was charged'with
stealing, was fotind upon her.

MARLBOROUPII-STREM—A man whose appear-
ance was not unfavoorable for the task he, had taken
in hand, was yesterday brought to this Otliee'bY S.-
Hamilton, the Otficeri, on charges of obtaining
money by. .false. pretences, and intruding himself
into the houses )of several of the Nobility and Gen-
try. it appeared ,in evidence that the Prisoner bad,
lived on the Public for.l'a leugth of time; by oh;
• taining sums of Money under pretence that he was
about to publish a. book, entitled " A History. of
Botany Bay." kle contrived to get some hell-.
tiOUs signatures, of charaders whose names and
rank were, of considerable impottance, to' his un-
dertaking; and, having done so,
_he contrived• by
various stratagems to obtain adMittance to -the
houses of different. Noblemen. and Gentlemen ;
and being possessed of a Volubility,Of speech, as. well
as a happy knack of introducing himself, hO suc-
ceeded in, imposing on. a considerable number of
persons, who 'dikl• not hesitate to subscribe, their
names among so many distinguished Charaaers.—
This " History of Botany. Bay,"
.however, never.:
made its appearance,.although a geed many years in
agitation : and the conduet of the impostor became
so much the topic of conversation ,that the imposi-
tion was detected., The Prisoner intruded him-
self into the presence of the Hon. Ashley Cooper,
yesterday, at his mansion in Grobvenor•square, and
his rode condu6l' caused him 'to be taken into
custody' by Hamilton. He had, it appeared, intruded
himself into the presence of Lady E.. at -Rid}-
, mond, a few days since, and behaved very im-
pertinently. The Prisoner was remanded to heat
other charges agaiti'st him.

, Private Letters received yesterday from Holland
-state, that seven of the most eminent-Merchants at
Autwerp,- and four at Brussels,, had been. taken into
• custody, for having violated the Decrees recently is-!
Sued for the prevention .01 all intercourse with Great
Britain. Thvy are charged with having," contrived;
Sanctioned, and connived at the admission into the
Ports under the dominion of France, of various goods
the.manufacture of England ; of having negotiated.
hills for the payment of such goods, and having sent
money-out-of the Country contrary to the tenor'of
tht Decrees of France." They have
..been forcibly
taken from their families, and sent under a strong es-
cort of Gem d' "Irma to Pais.
