down to Dolphin Island to occupy and hold
the same for his Catholic majesty Fertii-
nand VII. This island is situated at the
entrance Of Mobile bay, but we are not
CERTAIN whether it is included in the Pas
o,.,I. parish or not. In case it is, no
dooht hut governor Claiborne will be as-
thor;sed to dispossess them. Should the
snsr;.rds eyacuate Mobile. which is sup
nosed by some to be their intention. and
establish themselves on Dolphin island
nv the erection Of two forts. one OF the
east and the other on the west OF tue
island. they could completely command
hath the passes into Mobile bay. From
the commanding attitude of this position,
no doubt but our government will see the
propriety OF taking possession OF it. The
position is considerably better for prevent
in. an armed naval force from injurIng
Mobile town than the fort in the town, as
they could ascend Spanish river, drop
down tie Mobile river, and lombard the
town, AS bat few pieces from the fort
could be brought to bear on them.
1t is enormously stated in the Orleans
Gazette. under an extract OF letter from
a gentleman of Mobile, that the com
mander of the United States squadron,
which came to Mobile fer the purpose
of forcing a passage for schooner loaded
with powder and military stores for the
troops at this place, asked permission to
pass. He didnot ask permiss;on-for his
orders were to pass.
The channel which they sailed u?, was
Spanish river. branch OF the Mobile
and not 1'ensaw. Tensaw is also fork
of the Mobile. but from their fork. miles
below Fort Stolders, they unite no more
until they discharge themselves into the
Mobile bay. Spanish river takes out
Mobile river about five or six miles above
Mobile town. and by the uniting of these
three. Mobile bay is formed. Spanish
river is the middle channel. and in fact the
only one. by which, with safety, our gun
boats could reach the town. as the bar
reaches across the mouth OF the Mobile
river.

contended long time with great bravery,
but at length having most Of his men Kill

mayed. he was obliged to surrender. His
ship was carried into Algiers, and the ad-
miral decapitated. The crew, however
were released. A person to mediate a
peace between Tunis and Algiers was
daily expected from Constantinople. A
peaee between Alsiers and France was in
a train, but was not perfectly consummat-
ed, waiting the satisfaction of Benaparte.
The peace was not popular. The people
were particularly friendly to the English
and Americans. The Algerines only al
low their own produce to be exported to
France. No American vessel was left
at Algiers.

MITCHELL, Esq. Justice of the Quorum
in the presence of the Directors OF the
Institution and several other gentleman
We understand, that, although there was
much circumstancial evidence, tending
TO criminate Mr.. GRAY, produced on this
examination. yet nothing appeared suit =
GENTLY strong TO have convicted him o,
the act ;-he was, however, c0mhiit'eu
to prison in the afternoon, preparatory 10

In the course of the evening, aNeSto
fellow belonging to AIR. GRAY, anu VINO
was suspected to have aided his master IN
removing the specie, was arrested by WIN.
BLACKLoCK, Esq. at whose house MS
wife resided, and on being informed tnat
his master had been committed to gaoi lor
robbing the Bank, and that he was known
to have aided him in the robbery, he was
so intimidated that he confessed the iaet'
and offered, on condition ofpardon, DC. TO
point out where the money was concealed
A detachment of the City Guard was I'M
mediateIy procured, and sent OH to secure
the money, which they found deposited In
the original boxes. i'll the enclosure OF
MIR. GRAY's residence, near the race
Course, concealed under quantity OF
manure, straw, &c. The money, WIN
the exception Of few hundred dollars
which had been made way with, was
brought down early yesterday morning
and again deposited in the vaults, from
whence it had been taken exactly one
week before. We understand that the
false keys, with which the Bank IS sup
posed to have been entered, besides Ian
tern, &c. were found in leathern bag,
secreted with the money.
We cannot refrain from congratulatIns
the community on the discovery OF the
perpetrator Of this daring robbery.-The
Officers Of the Bank, whose feelings on
the occasion, (enveioped as the business
was in mystery ard darkness) must have
been acute indeed, are at once relieved
from weight of anxiety and responsible
ity, which 10 feeling mind. is more
distressing than even conviction OF guiit

have taken lively interest in the inVes-

that the character ofour city would suffer

with pleasure, that a transaction, rival

the course of two months and while the
French were in the very act Of killing
them, to increase their numbers from
$4,000 to 2S,5OO If such facility of

of the Spanish patriot troops, Bonaparte
will have much work to perform before
they will be totally exterminated. Gen.

Within these few days past, there has
arrived in Kingston. the Chief Secretary
of Rigaud, who, it is well understood is
AN emissary of Bonaparte. He brings
dispatches, he says, ola secret nature
but of what nature? Of none that any
truth can be attached to This mans

He is a man within the law excluding a
certain description of foreigners from the

ed against him for the sake oil the re-
ward.
, Kingston, (JcmaicaJ .ang. 5.
The agent or emissary of Rigaud, no
ticed under The St. Jago de la Vega head,
to have been unprecedented in this city, is
in safe custody at the barracks. and
every circumstance respecting him, whieh
has come to knowledge, been transmitted
to his honor the lieutenant governor. On
his examination nothing transpired either
to eriminate himself OF other Individuals.
1t is asserted that he was induced to pre-
cecd to this colony from the representa-
tons of two persons formerly i'll St. Do
mingo, at present residing here, but Tor
what purpose we cannot exactly ascertain.
The appearance in this island OF any one
connected with Rigaud, certainly looks
suspicious, as it is well known that nc is
an agent of Bonaparte, and who has long
meditated the blacklist hostility towards
British, colonial prosperity. As it is sub
iect that comes home to the bosom OF
every il habitant, we hope that it will not
be lightly passed over, but mature and
full Investigation take place Of the object
of this mans visit.
