DARING ROBBERY OF TIE MAIL.
About Ii o'clock on Wednesday night
last, the great Eastern Mail from this CT
~ and the Sonthward, on its way to Phil
adelphia, was robbed when within two
miles of Havre de Grace. The particu-
lars are in .ubstance as follow, on the au-
thprity Of letter from Mr.. Ludlow, to
John II. Barney, esq. Of this city.
The robbery was committed by three
men. whose faces were blacked. They
were armed with pistols, and had made
fence across the ruad, which stopped
the progress Of the horses. There were
in the mail Wagon the above mentioned
Mr.. Ludlow and the driver. both of whom
were suddenly seized, pistols presented
to their breasts, aud instant death threat
ened in case they made the least noise or
resistance. Their hands were then bound
behind them, and they we're led a short
distance into the adjacent woods and tied
to trees. The mail was also taken into
the woods, and II is said every letter in
il broken open and examined-those cun-
tanning money robbed OF their contents.
Alter the examination OF the mail, which
occupied about two hours, Mr.. l.. and
the driver were brought back to the usg.
gon remaining in the road. Ore Of the
robbers proposed to shoot them, in order
to prevent discovery--to this the other
two dlssented, declaring thar, as they had
gained their object. money, bin"dshed
was unnecessary. They were then bound
to the Wagon, where they remained for
the space Of two hours, before they were
enabled to extricate themselves. The
robbers each mounted horse, and the
fourth horse was led IF. it is supposed 10
prevent an alarm, shouts either Mr.. l..
or the driver escape. The amount taken
from the mail is supposed TO be conside-
rable.
We understand the postmaster at
Havre de Grace has taken measures to
collect the letters left by the robbers. and
that they will be forwarded forthwith.
