4 ROBBER CAUGHT.

NORFOLK, August I4.-The FreDch
schr J "a FlOresiIne, arrived here on The
2isl uii. from Martinique, aud brought
200 dollars IN specie. As il was after
sun down when she anchored in our liar-
Dor, II was thought best 10 let the specie
remain on board for the night. Next
morning, however, il was found that the
whole OF The money had vanished, and
that The mate whosename was John Garon-
de, had also become Invisible. Ii was not
doubted that the said GarOnde and Tie
specie had made their exit simultaneous
", and it was strongly suspected that
two FTcnClmen OF this town wine reside
IN Little Water street Goth cronies of
hiss were accomplices in the robbery.
Tie evidence against them, however, was
not satisfactory enough TO commit them
upon, aud GarOhde was supposed 10 have
made OFT with the booty. But OF Tues
day night last, about 100 clock, he and
| three other freBchmen (inciuding the
two before alluded io) were accidentally
seen TO enter lie house Of one JoseDh, a
| petty shop keeper in Portsmouth, by
! gentleman OF that town, Who presently
collected large party Of citizens, aud
conducted them to tie spot. they sur
| rounded the house and secured two of
them, but Garonde, the principal rogue,
and another named Antoine, were mis-
sing. A strict search throughout the
house was made Tor them, but Without
success. In back room lay an i'll look

spread on Tie floor. lie was made TO

came With the guard Was examining him
