PHILADELPHIA, Feb. IL.

Mail Robber.-Mr. Bailey returned to
the city last evening, with the third Mail
Robber, who is safely lodged in prison.
He was taken about 2 miles the other side
of Lancaster, on the Harrisburg road.
This man freely confessed his participa-
ton 10 the robbery. He says that when
the mail stage came up, their hearts failed
them, but one of them crying out, "we
came to rob the mail-it must be done,' .
they Immediately made the attack. He
says he received but 5000, part Of which
he expended in clothing and 10 the pur-
chase of watch 10 this city; $3.50 he
gave for his horse, and the remainder he
had with him when apprehended, which
he threw into the road as the persons were
bringing him into Lancaster. He says he
is but % years of age, was born in France,
aud served two years 10 the army of b.
naparte; that he is Of very respectable
family, and he refuses to give up his
name, as it may bring disgrace upon them.
He confessed that he knew that the pun
ishment of his offence would be death.
He is described as being very timid
man, aud acknowledged that if any re-
sistance had been made by the persons in
the stage, he would certainly have run,
and he believes the others would, for he
was as much frightened as any one in the

SAVANNAH, Feb. d.

Very Late from Engiand.--By the ar
rival last evening of the fine fast sailing
ship Athens, Captain Lee, 10 81 days
from Liverpool, the Editor of the Sa-
vannah Republican has received Liver
pool papers to the Gath of December, and
London to the Oath of the same month.
The Paris Moniteur mentions that there
had been great commotion at Lyons,
alarming in its nature.
Lord Peterborough, chief justice OF
England, died on the 18th December.
The Courier says, there is no founda-
ton for the reported changes in the minis
try, with the exception Of the retiremeni
Of Lord Mulgrave from the master gene
ralship of the ordnance, which is to be
filled by Lord Wellington.
A rumor was very prevalent 10 London
that the King Of Spain had absconded from
Madrid. By letters received it is stated
that he had destroyed himself, and by
others that he had been murdered. The
Times observes, that the aspect of affairs
10 Spain was such as made it but too
probable some crisis was at hand. Ger
tainly something serious has occurred in
Spain.
Sir Philip Francis, the supposed au-
thor of Junius, departed this life on the
22d of December last, in the 10th year Of
his age. Papers and documents are said
to have been found which conclusively
prove that Sir Philip Francis was the au-
thor of Junius.
The London Courier is very loud a.
gainst Mr.. Monroe when commenting on
his message to congress. The case of
Arbuthnot and Ambrister is adverted to
and many petty anathemas pronounced
against the government. The Courier also
indulges in the old slang of division Of
the states that We cannot remain long a
federate union under cur general govern.

From the National Intelligencer. Feb g.

The House of Representatives sat to
so late an hour yesterday, that we can
only, from that circumstance, and from
the want of room, state a few of the
prominent results of the proceedings.
In the Senate, some business was done,
of which an account will hereafter be
given. The proceeding of most immedi-
ate interest, was motion, by Mr.. Morril
of New-Hampshire, to adopt proposition
to the following effect:
Resolued, by the Senate, that the Presi-
dent of the u. States be requested TO strike
from the rolls of the Army and Navy,
the names of all such officers thereof, as
were, directly or indirectly, concerned
in counselling, aiding, or abettiDg the late
duel between Armistead L. Mason and
]. nj. McCarty, citizens of Virginia.
This motion lies Oh the table.
House of RepreSentativeS.-We have
great satisfaction in announcing that the
discussion in respect to the Seminone war,
is at Length brought to close.
After considerable debate, &c. the pro-
gress Of which shall be hereafter stated,
The question was taken on the resoIu-
ton reported by the committee on militia
ry affairs, disappearing the proceedings
10 the trial and execution of Arbuthnot
and Ambrister, and decided in the mega
tive.
The amendment moved by Mr.. Cobb
to the resolution reported by the commit
tee on military affairs having been modi-
fed, was then rejected.
The committee rose and reported its
decision.
A motion was made to postpone indefi-
uiteIy the further consideration of the
whole subject; when,
After some discussion, the precious
question was required, and being taken,
was decided in the affirmative; which
precluded any other than direct question
Oh the proposition before the house.
On the question, then, to concur is dis
agreeing to so much of the report as re-
lates to the case of Arbuthnot, the vote
was, by yeas and nays
For concurrence in dsagreeing to it l08
Against it 81
On the question to concur in disagree.

Ambrister--
For concurrence ia disagreement 107
| Against it 90
A motion was then made by Mr.. Cobb
that the house do come to the following
resolutions
ReSolced, That the late seizure of the
Spanish posts at Pensacola and ST. Carlos
de Barancas, in West Florida, by the ar.
my Of the United States, was contrary ia
the constitution of the United States.
A motion was made to postpone indefi.
nitely the further consideration Of the
proposition, and decided in the negative.

The main question was then taken on

A bloody and disgracetui afair.-We
know not what other name can be attached
10 the following affair, than that Of bar5a.
r0us murder land we are informed BY
correspondent, that four gentttmea
holding commissions under the u. States,
assisted at this bloody combat--a combat
with nsushets at six or eight PAGES dis
lance Has not the President DUTY 10
perform on this occasion I'VE trust he
has, and thatit will be exercised. A blow
must be struck at the root of this vile
custom, which has in repeated instances
dishonoured our country, and robbed us
of citizens otherwise estimable. Col.
From the Washington City Gazette. Of Feb. G.
The Duel.--We regret to state the
melancholy result Of an unfortunate meet
ing that took place between Gen. ARMS
TEAD L. Mason, of London county, Va.
and JOHN M. M'CARTY, of Fairfax coun-
| ty, Va. They repaired, we are informed,
TO the Heighbourhood Of Bladensburgb.
early this morning, armed with muskets,
containing three balls each, and fought at
the distance Of six PAGES. At the first fire,
Gen. Mason received the contents of his
antagonists piece ia his body, which put
an immediate period 10 his existence.
Mr.. M'Carty received, at the same time,
wound in one arm.
Gen. Mason's remains were conveyed
to Georgetown, and lodged at Gen. John
p. Mason's. We have heard no further
particulars; when they are known they
will be published.
The deceased (Gen. A. r. MasoI) was
Senator in the 18th Congress, from Vir.
ginia; valuable member of society, and
highly respected by all who knew him
He has left wife and child to deplort
his untimely end. We believe this melan
choIy catastrophe grew out of former
well known political dispute with Mr.
MCarty.
