Ro&ery Of he blaIL--One ot The most
high handed frauds was prsctised somewhere
between this place and Baltimore, during the
mop,h OF March. We understsnd that ttaee
entire letter mails, which were sent on from
this town IN dye form, did not even arrive at
Pctersburgh, Va. In these mails were con-
'a'ncd large sums of money, in drafts and
bank notes ternittedto New York and Phl,.
deiphia, By merchants in this town, Whining
ton and Cha ieston. So deeplsid h& been
the fraud, that many Subsequent letters, in
tended merely as enquiries Of the fate Of for.
mcr ones, from thos; persons who reunited
the money, have been cautiously intercepted.
Mo, ihe slightes, possible clue 10 hi, grand
sehems OF in'qnily has yet been discovered,
aud never wall be, perhaps, unless the Gen
ersi Post Office eco Gt to look toto the bust
hess.
II is now several weeks since the General
Post Ofhcc took measures for the discovery
OF the miscIeant who committed this wide
depreciation on private properly and public
copndence. 1t is scarcely possible that he
should not sooner or later be discovered.
We have heard thai no Postmaster is sus-
peeied OF being concerned in il /; but that tb.
robbery isra,hcr likely TO have been com.
mitted by sou,e Stage -passcnget, or other
person. On discovery being made, the
public will no doub hear OF il from the Post.
