MAC cREGRoR's EXPEDITION.

BY captain Richardson, from St. Mary's,
we learn, {says The Darien Gazette of the
18th inst. that one of the transports which
had been attached to Mac Gregor's cype-
ditto, (the brig Petersburg Packet, OF Lon,
DOM put into Cumberland Sound on the
3Ist ult. for water. From the commander.
and Ivy inspecting her log-book, captain
Richardson obtained unquestionable intor-
nation of the destruction of Mac Gregor's
troops at Porto Bello, on the night of the
9TH or e8th of April last. precisely three
weeks after that city had capitulatef to
them. They were taken by surprise at
the dead of night by the Spaniards, who
gave no quarter: and so complete was the
discontinue, and so terrible the carnage,
that only about five Of the Patriots escaped
TO the shipping. Mac Gregor was ashore,
and asleep in bis quarters. when the attack
commenced, and must have shared the tate
Of his soldiers, but for the resoiute courage
of his two aids de camp,who, on the house
being beset, rushed to the door, and kept
the Spaniards at bay till he effected his es-
cape through a window, and reached the
beach, where, though wounded them
selves, they joined him, when all three
leaned into the sea. and swan TO the trans
ports. They had scarcely well gotten on
board the ship Monarch, of London, when
the batteries on shore opened on them, but
by cutting the cables the vessels got TO sea
without sustaining much injury. Mac Gre
gol and his suite continued on board the
Monarch. Every vessel took such course
as safety devised. The force of the Pa
triots on shore at the time, amounted to
four hundred and fifty.

MAIL ROBBER Y.

We understand, that on this charge John
Fosked mail carrier from Richmond to
Petersburgh, was on Saturday evening ap-
prehended bv warrant from the Mayor OF
this CITY. on the complaint of Messrs. Ed
win Porter & Co. who are the contractors
for that mail.
This being an offence against the laws OF
The United States. the prisoner was deiive-
red over to the custody Of the Marshal OF
this District and after an examination by
Chief Justice Marshall, was committed to
Jail 10 be tree at the Circuit Court OF the
United States, in November next.
The mail appears to have been robbed
by false key, on Friday night last. A
number of lelters and packages were found
in the prisoners chest, addressed TO per-
sons in Washington, Baltimore and New
York, the seals of few OF them being bro
ken.
No money was foand.
John Fosked, We are informed, is from
the State OF Massachusetts,, about 25 years
OF age.
The robber has confessed the facts. We
learn that all the letters in the following
