It „ appears that Buonaparte's plans against the
Spanish dominions in America have not had' that
happy issue which he contemphted, and that his
stratagems have not produced ihe least effcCt on the
loyalty of the Spanish Americans, which is not
inferior to that which the inhabit:wig of the Pe-
ninsula have manifested for their Sdvereign Ferdi-
nand

Three Americans, and a Spaniard called Blanco,
spies or emissaries Buonapirte, hate been ana
rested at Chihuagna, by Dun Netnesio Saicedo, in
consequence of the seasonable ;I(l6c:es high the
Viceroy of Mexico, corinnunicated to that Corn,
mandanr, General of the said Pro, ince, that these
persons had arrived at Upper Louisiana from Bal-
timore, and were going to the town of Santa Fe.
These four individuals were ttatelling with two
negro slaves among the Indian tribes subject to the
province, without any passport train the Spanish
Authorities of Ferdinand VII. from the place.
whence they proceeded, which is indispensably
cessary in order to enter the doinalions
without being considered as a spy : there were bound
in their possession a paper wratett iii English, aria
a letter from the Curate of St. Genevieve io France,
also ihineen fire-arms, six ci.olasses, three axes,
and fiVe flasks of powder. In their first declara-
tion they stated, that the object of their journey
from Upper Louisiana was no other Jinn ; o estate
blish themselves in the dam mons of his M tjesty•
Ferdinand VIE, to whom they were greatly attacli=
ed; as if persons going from Arnerict to the Spanish
possessions were ignoraat that it is rep site to have
permission from Gnvernmenr, and the necessary
passports from the established aui horines, to obtain
au entrance into the Spanish territories. They were
immediately cond:ictedto the Castle of St. Elecar-
iio for trial, and it will not belong before they will
suffer the. punishment due to such traitors, accord-
ing to tile strict orders of the Council of Regency
flo Spain and the Indies, that in cases .ot this nae
lure justice should not be delayed, in order to purg-
the Spanish soil of such vermin. The vigilance of
the Spaniards to prevcni French emissaries from
being introduced into Cuba is very great : at Ma-
tanzas they seized a Mr. Bacon, supercargo of an
Anielieau vessel, and confined him in the fort, on
account of his having no passport from America,
signed by • the Chief Magistrate of a city or town,
and certified by the SOanisii Consul. ' He was,
however, released the folloa ing day,, at the inter-
cession of a Spaniard who wasacquainted with him ;
and avowed that his, views were not hostile when
he entered into bond to quit the place immediately
in the same schooner, and departed in a very few
days after.

The Governors of the West India Islands have
been apprised by Mr. Jackson, the late British Mi-
nister in America, that French emissaries had ar-
rived in the United States, and were to proceed in
American.vessels to the Spanish colonies, with or-
ders under the sign manual of Ferdinand VII. di-
recting the Governors of those provinces to place
them in the hands of !he French, in order to their
being by them preserved for the use of their legi-
timate Sot ereign, to whom it would seem Buon4•
parte has promised to restore and guarantee the
regal sway of these Transatlantic Dominions, on
the sett leineht of the affairs of Spain. The Ameri•
can vessels, in which these agents are to be conveyed
to the Spanish settlements, are furnished with li-
censes to transport their produce, &c. through the
United States to France. We are further informed,
that Mr. Jackson requests, if possession can be
obtained of any such licenses, they may be trans.
mined to him, as they will answer a particular
purpose.

The three oldest inhabitants of Carrickfergus,
whose united ages make "280, died lately on the same
day (the 9th ult.) Their names and ages were--
John Connor, aged 101 ; Margret 111`Gill„ gg ;
Agnes Addison, 80.

Thomasin Robinson, who died in Sandgate, New-
castle, on Saturday se'nnight, aged I I l years, had
the misfortune, when upwards of 100 years old, to
break her thigh bone, and recovered perfedly of
the accident.

The coach with the London mail arrived at Mil-
ford on Thursday without coachman or guard. It
appears they got down about two m:les distant, in
order to light one of the coach lamps, which bad
blown out, when the horses took fright, and could
not be overtaken ; and although they came in at
fill gallop, reached the Nehon Hotel in safety,
without coming in contad with the corner, in getting
into the yard. .A Gentleman who was in the coach,
leaped out on its approaching the church.

Cooper, were indicted for Steali,g a diamond ring,
a pearl ring, a pair of gold bracelets, an opal snap
set will pearls, a ruby snap, a gold ring, a gold
,chain, and a variety of other article's of jewellery,
several eairs of- gloves, &c. the property of Tho-
, mas Bruce, Earl of Aylesbury, in his dwelling-
house. There was a second count, charging- the
prisoners with having stolen two silver tea-spoons,
and a silver-. sugar-tongs, the property of Sarah
Knapp, in the said dwelling-houie.
It appeared from the evidence of Sarah Knapp,
waiting-woman to Lady Aylesbury, that ihe family
left, their toWn-house, in Seytnour-place, Mayfair,
and went to the country on the 14th of June; pre-
vious to their departure, the witness locked up the
articles stated in-the indictment in a chest of drawers
—the keys of the drawers were also locked. Up, and
left in town. .The family returned on the 14th of
• 9dober ; the witness on the following day had oc-
casion to go to ttie drawers, but found it impossible.
to unlock them; a smith was sent for, who opened
them; the property was not missed until the Satur-
day following, . Mr. Townsend the officer was then
sent for, who inspetied the premises.
Townsend stated, that in consequence of What
he, had observed on examining the drawers, lie was
convinced the robbery must have been committed
by some person or persons who had access to the
house ; and understanding, that Mi. Lisle, the up-
bolsterer, of New Bond-street, had sent some work-
men into the house to repair the furniture, at his
request Mr. Lisle attended with his two appren-
tices, Cooper and ' Noyes,- who, with Carpenter, a
journeyman, had been employed in the repair of
the furniture : Carpenter also. was sent for. The
witness then -went,' to the lodgings 41 the prisoner
Carpenter,. aceornpanieo by Mr. Lisle and • Mrs.
Knapp, who, in the course of their,search, identi7
tied two chemises, the property of Lady Aylesbury,.
which had been taken from the drawers : they also
found a number of new gloves, a great quan-
tity of pawnbrokers' duplicates, and a piece of
poplin.
Mr. Lisle stated, that, in June-last, be sent the
prisoners. at'the bar to the house of Lord Ayles-,
bury.. In consequence of- what he heard from
William Noyes, When the boys were examined at
Lord Aylesbury's, he was induced to search a chest
of drawers in a room adjoining that in which the
prisoner Noyes slept, in his house, where he found
three pair of gloves. Carpeuter, the journeyman,
had been. at work in the house for a day and a halt,
when ire two boys were nor there. Noyes had
been with him two years, and bore an excellent cha
racier.

Robert Sparrow, shopman to Mr. James Brooke,
pawnbroker, of Paddington-street, produced a pearl-
ring which had been pawned by the prisoner
Carpenter, on the 30th of June in the name of
Wiliams--the counter-part of the duplicate was
found in the prisoner's lodgings.
Win. Moxon, shopman to Abraham Dry, pawn-
broker, of South-street, Manchester-square, pro-
duced a pair of silver sugar-tongs, which had been
pawned the .13th of August, by a woman who stated
herself to be Maria Carpenter. •, The counter-part of
this duplicate was ionod in the prisoner's lodgings.
James Ross, servant-to another pawnbroker, pro-
duced a piece of poplin about four yards, and two
tea-spoons ; the first article had been pawned.on the
Cf2d of June, and,the others on the 2d of August,
by a woman, in the name of Mary. Ann Carpenter;.
the counterpart of this duplicate was also produced.
,Mrs. Knapp could not positiVely identify atiy of
the articles, except the two chemises, which bad
been found in . the_ prisoner Carpenter's room : she
kne,w • Ladyl Aylesbury had lost a pearl ring and a
quantity of gloves, which were like those pro.'
duced, but she could not take upon her to swear
they were the same; neither could .she identity ;the
sugar-tongs, tea7spi-ons, or the piece of poplin;
the quantity of poplin missing was about 14 yards;
she had lost teaspoons and a sugar tongs like those
produced,. and the poplin was something of the
sagie coldur. _

The Jury found the prisoner Carpenter guilty of
stealing to the value of 395. and acquitted Cooper
and Noyes.

fiom his person, against his will, 16 dollars, 4 halt-
crown pieces, 1 old crown-piece, 256. in silver, a 11.
Batik of England note, a letter, and a knife.
The prosecutor, who is employed by a farmer of
thename of. Payne, residing in the parish of Hen-
don, had sold a load of bay in Smithfield Market,
on the morning of the.2eth of November, for which
he received 71. in the monies recited in the
tnept ; on his way hoine, about eight o'clock in the
evening of the same day, ire was stopped near the
.five niile stone on the-Edgware-road, by three ,mbn,
me of whom advanced, and held something to his
breast, which looked like a pistol, and demanded
his.money,—the man who desired him to deliver he
was positive -was. the prisoner Gill; another of the
party, whom Weston could not identity, came from
'behind,the cart, and rifled his pockets; they then
took him about '2OO
.yards from his team, and left
him. Wright, one of the horse patrole, belonging
to Bow-street Office, in a short time atter the rob-
bery met four men on the road—they, did not walk
legether—he bade them good night; but hearing
thein whistle repeatedly, he suspeaed, they wiete-
oui for' no good purposes; he immediately rode
after them, and apprehended the last of the
party, a person of The name of Fordliam : while he
was examining him, a man came-up and intortned
him of the robbery. - Fordham stated,
,that be had
been drinking At the Bells at Wikden-green, which
Douse he tilted. The patrole left Fordham in cus-
tody at the :Crown public-house on the Edgware-
road, and went immediately to the Bells at \Yds-
den ; . he found that Fordham and the prisoners
at. 'the bar bad' been drinking there. during .•the
eventug. He then went• and apprehended Gill,

Norris, and Cogdell, at their reSPeclive lodgings ;
and in company with Vickers, another patrule, be
took .them to the' Crown, where they found Mr.
Launce, the inspeclor of the horse-patrote, Co whom
Norris ex-pressed a uish to speak ; on being intro-
duce& to hien, he imMediately sated, that it Mr.
Launce would accompany' him, or send an officer,
he would discover the place where Cogdell had
.hid
the money. Mr. Launce and WriOlt- accordingly
went with him to the girderl at the back of his own
cottage, where he scratched the property out of a
bank. "

['The Money was produced in Court, and'agreed
exactly with what was stated in the tndittment—
there was also a letter which the prosecutor Weston
had written to his sister, and to which be particular-
ly swore.]
When the parties were 'taken to, Bow-street the
next day, Gill accused Norris with having been the
ringleader, in which accusation Cogdell coincided.
Norris recriminated, and . pointed Lout Gill as the
most cnlpable person. None of them attempted to
deny the robbery. Fordliam; against whom no-
thing appeared, had been liberated. A great num-
ber of persons came for ard to speak to the character
of Cogdell ; some of them also deposed to the.general
good chartter of the two other prisoners. They were
all found guilty, but recommended to mercy on ac-
count of their youth, and no violence having been
Committed.
