and Harry Adkins, the Officer, afterwards went
to Reuben Joseph's, and knocked tit the shop
door, by Richardson's directions. - This house is
in Chandierstreet, Berkeley-square. Joseph
opened 11.- door, and Adkins and Richardson
asked for a couple of rings. Joseph denied hav-
ing them, and so did his wife : but Richardson
insisted that they had, and that they might as
well give them up. They then took Joseph to
, Bow-street. Adkins brought old, Simons anti
Frankil to the Office on the same night. , On the
10th of Apri! witness had ,some rings and 'silver
coins delivered to ' him by Levy Hart;. at his

from him, and an account of it was taken nefore
Richardson. Witness then said, "From theman-
ner in which the Marchioness of Downshire's
house was brOken open, I have no doubt bUt you
were one conserned• it."' He sat a little witile
silent, and then said, " Sir, I will not tell you
an Untruth, I was one concerned in it:' On be-
ing asked where, the property was, he said he bad
sold his part to-Synions and his wife, bet to could
not tell where they or their on were then.—
He was then asked if there was any chance' of
I ecovering any part-of the property, and he said
he had given two rings to a Mrs. Joseph, which
Might be recovered. He then stated, that Symons
and his Aon had lodged at Joseph's,_ unto by going
there, it was likely some of the boxes might be
found , there, as he had seen them in al a
room in which they slept. He Also said Joseph
cotildinform the witness where old Symons could
-be found. He did not know the 'lame of the
street in which Joseph

13, in the Colonnade, Brunswick-square, he-would
find two diamond rings, and a pocket-book, which
he found. there. He saw an iron crow, cuted a •

out being in Custody.• On Ws cross-examination'
he said, that Franitil told Wm Symons was only:
with him for a night's lodgings. it ichardson'a

rated the evidence of the List Wittiess.

Fanny Symons., at hiss master's house'on the even-
ing before the robbery of the Marchioness of

.house—he understood that Fraukil was .Mrs. Sy-
mons' halter., lie saw young Symons with a
pochet-hook, which he gave to his master tá smell
—it was one of those identified by the-23archip-
floss, and was made of Russia leather.

Dinah Joseph said, that old Symorts lodged 'at
her husband's, in Chandler-street-,she saw
tii-
chnrdson with Syntoos frequently at her house.—
The morning alter the robbery, Richardson laid It
musical box on her chinmey-piece, anti set it . to.
play-it was also identified. Richardson gave her
two rings, one a blood-stone, lind the other a
snake ring: These it-ere also identified by the Mar.,
e lioness.

Ilenben Joseph . corroborated his wife's testier
=fly.

IL. Cohen proved that Mrs. Symons, 'his mo-
ther-in-law, brought some of the articles to his
house, and they took them to Benjamin's, a sil—
versmith, to be valued. Levy, a silversmith ,at
Poplar, and the witness, purchased her lot, eNcept
the musical snuff-I)6x, for 2S/.
J. Levy deposed to the same efFect.
.The evidence for the prosecution being closed.,

robbery, and furnishing hint with the nee. s try
information how it was to be effected. lie threw'
himselt on the mercy of the Court. The rest pre,
tested their innocence.

- Mr. Baron Gtcatt.Aat summed up the evideneei
and the Jury returned a verdict, tinding Joseph
Richardson and James Symcins guilty of the bur-
glary, and Nathan Symonds guilty of receiving
the stolen peoperty, and Sarah-Symons and'James
Fraokil not guilty. -
The Jury recommended- James Symons to
mercy, on account of his youth (16), and on ac-
COtlllt, of the dreadful example which had been set
before him.

The Dukes of Sussex, Cambfidge and Glouces-
ter were upon the Bench ; and several Ladies of
distinction accompanied the .144,1:chioness oi
Downshire.
The Court was considerably crowded. -

'I he official details of the very gallant and suc-
cessful attack of a detachment of our troops upon
an American fort at Ogdensburg are given from
the Gazette in our last page. It wits indeed a most
spirited and brilliant affair.

At the Sum. 01 1.1

I have the honour to inform your Lordship.
that in consequence of information having hetit
received here, that several merchant vessel
bound to this island, had been captured by a
French privateer, and carried into the island
of Lagosta, Admiral Fremantle and myself judg-
ed it expedient to lose no time in putting an end
to a system, which was likely to become very tle-
trimental to the prosperity of this island, and to
our commercial interests in general. For this
pttrpose I embarked nit board his Majesty's frigate
Apollo, commanded by Captain Taylor, on the
19th ultimo, with detachments from this garrison,-
amounsing to about three Mulched" inn, including
artillery, with two six-pounders, two howitzers,
and two mountain guns. troops, together
with a detachment of seamen and marines, land-
ed on the island of Lagosta on the' 21st, and
marched towards the-principal work, constructed
by the enemy for the detence.Of the island, from
whence the garristin .opened a well-directed fire
of shot and shells. As the ,work in question is
situated on the summit of a high conical hill,
commanding thetown, I found it necessary to take
up a favourable position, from whence I was ea-
Wed 'to forward the praparationS necessary' for
the reduction of the During this interval,
Captains May, 3iith, and Ronea, Cislnbries Free
Corps, together with -Mr. O.:Bowen, First I;en-
tenant of his Majesty's ship Apollo,, with a party
of forty men, 'succeeded in. spiking the guns of
one of the enemy's lower batteries, and
„in de-
stroying a magazine. of provisions, both of which
were within musket-shot of the fort. On this oc-
casion a French serjeant of artillery and two sol-
diers were taken prisoners.-- Mr. llllark, purser
of his Majeaty's ship Apollo, volunteered his sex...
vices on both the ,:e occasions. Having received
certain intelligence that a detachment of three
Hundred men, coinmanded, by a lieutenant-colonel.
had marched from Ragusa, to reinforce the garri-
son of Lagosta, and being aware of the great dif-
ficulty which would have attended the attempt
get battering artillery on the only hill which com-
manded the fort, Captain Taylor and myself were
induced to offer favourable Conditions to the
French commandant, who after some heiitation,

consisting of one hundred and thirty-nine men),

to enclose Your Lordthip. I have-also the ho-
nour to encloie : your Lordship a return of the
enemy's ordnance, ammunition, and stores, which
fell into our hands. It is particularly gratifyiirg
to me to be able to inform your :Lordship, that
during the whole of our operation, the inhabi-
tants gave us the most unequivocal proofs of their
attachment, and rendered us the most efficacious
