Daring Mail Robbery ! I!

The three robbers of the mail near Balti
more, are said 10 have been journeymen tutors
of that city. Two Of them were Immediately
apprehended, examined and committed fer
trial. 9217 dollars in bank notes, and $685.
in drafts, were obtained from them. We have
not heard that the third one has been appre-
hended. The conduct of the two after the
robbery was as stupid, as the robbery was
daring. The Post Master General has ad-
vertised, that notes, drafts, &c. sGped and re-
covered, amount to about Ninety Thousand
dollars they are now in his possession, and
will, as soon as the fragments of the addresses
can be arranged, be transmitted as originally
designed. A schedule of the whole will be
published. Several notes, &c. have not yet
been recovered. The conduct Of the Post
Office on this occasion, was prompt, energet
ic, intelligent, and peculiarly successful.
The horses were found tied 10 trees in the
wood, 80 miles from Baltimore, and bad been
there one day and two nights when discover
ed. 10000 dollars in checks were sent from
Washington TO Newyork. The letters sto'en
written 10 places south Of Baltimore were gag.
The mail now proceeds under strong
guard.

AN ITNPRFCEDFNTt ID ROBBERY OF
THE PUBLIC MAIL.

On the night Of the 1Ilh inst. as the mail
cart was passing rapidly from Baltimore TO
Havre de Grace, ii was checked by fence
built up across the road, within two miles Of
that place Three men sprang from behind
the fence, painted black, and disguised in
sailors dress, who presented doubled barrell-
Cd pistols and dirks to the driver and gen
teman bv the name OF Ludlow, passenger {;
threatning them with instant death itthey made
and resistance. The robbers then took the
driver and Mr. Ludlow distance in the
woods, and tied them to tree. After three
hours examining and pIundering the mail,
they took the four horses and rode off towards
Baltimore,
In the night OF the 18th the Post Master Gen
eral received an express from the Post Master
of Baltimore giving the above information.
The Post Master General immediately dis
patched messenger (Mr. Bell) 10 Baltimore,
with instructions 10 the Post Master at Bali-
more, and the vigorous watchfuness of the
constables, two Of the robbers were appreLen
ded this morning and committed. The other
zciH be taken. When the two robbers were
unprecedented there were found in their pos
session of bank notes 9217 dollars, and Of
checks on banks $685. dollars.
This is the boidea attempt of mail robbery
ever yet made in the United States, and a
promptly arrested as il was bold.
II was deemed prudent not 70 publish the
robbery till every measure should be taken to
detect the perpetrators lest they should take
the alarm, and effect their escape.

Spain to submit the points in dispute 10 any

OF the American Government upon these
subjects. The last letter of Mr.. Adams,

spoken of as extremely able, and the tx
tracts published from ii il tbs National In

TO calculate on the benefits resulting from
