ROBBERY OF THE MAIL.

ROBBERY OF THE MAIL.
addition to the ofic ial notice published
yesterday, we have collected the following
particulars of this atrocous viilany. AT the
time and place mentioned yesterday, one
of the men ran before the leading horses,
and told I'm. Smith, the driver, to stop
Tue other two Immediately presented
themselves, armed with pistols, and took
the driver from his seat. They then Ut the
traces, and one of the reins, and went 10 the
coach doors; one presenting pistol, the
othera large knife or dirk, and demanded
whatever money the passengers had. There
were five gentlemen and lady, passci-
gers. From one they obtained pocket
book, containing only small sum from a
mother gold watch and from third, Mr..
Cowan Of this city, small sim in change.
They attempted 10 force this gentleman out
of the coach, but he demonstrating with
them, they left the passengers, and procee-
ded IN search OF the mail, which was for
ward They cut hole OF about twenty
inches in the portnanleau, through which
they drew IS many packages OF letters as
filled pair OF saddle bags and pocket
handkerchief. They then made of, having
detained the stage about twenty minutes.
We have ascertained that the following
packages are missing.
FOR THE CITY OF NETWORK.
From Philadelphia, one hundred single
letters, eight double, Two treble, one mark
ed 625 cents, aud Que MAX d 10.
From. Baltimore ,one bundle in. which was
enclosed the bill, and OF course the number
of letters is not yet ascertained.
From, .Nev-Oricaas, sixty-one single let
tels.
For Ne0- York State, four bundles are re-
ceired, aud il is supposed that six or eight
have Leen taken by the robbers.
For CenaecisCat State.-One bundle only
received. The number missing moi known.
From. Washington for Boston.-About one
half missing. The package marked No. 9,
enclosing the bill was received.

One package missing.
For Massachusetts &ate.-Only one pack
age received, and that without the bill.
In addition to the above, many entire
mails may Lave been taken, which cannot
be ascertained in this city.
We understand that Mr.. Cowan had time
to secure his watch and money. Another Of
the passengers tore hole in the lining of
the stage, and secreted a large amount in
bills.

that large party started from that place
early this morning, in pursuit OF the vii

MORE PIRACY !,

MORE PIRACY.
We are sickened indeed with the al
most daily record Of buccaneering, which
it becomes our duty to lay before our rea-
ders. twill he recollected, that some time
since narrative was republished from a
Norfolk print, of the running away from
that port, of the CHILEAN armed schr. Hor-
net. One of her officers who arrived here
day or two since, in the brig Gen. Rip
ley, has furnished us with the follow ing
particulars, for publication,
1t appears that when the Hornet got TN
der way TO make her escape. capt. Orne,
and all the commissioned officers except
one, Jour Informant were on shore. That
captain q. had no Intention in any shape,
of eluding the regulations of the custom
house. That he had sent orders on board
his vessel, to have her brought 10 anchor
under the fort, until he should have CON-
pleted bis business at the custom house !;
and that he had the vessels commission
and other papers about him. Instead of
complying with these orders, II appears
that James Beatty, petty officer, harran-
gued the crew AMI induced them to pro-
coed to sea. Accordingly, after combining
in irons the only officer on board, said B.,
was appointed commander, and H., ornet
sailed Oh her piratical voyage.
Our informant was kept in irons Is days
by the mutineers, during which time they
experienced heavy gale Of wind, which
so alarmed them, that they threw over her
whole armament, except one gun and thir-
teen muskets. During this period they
plundered the brig -, captain
Greedy, from 81. Eustatia, of money and o.
ther valuables TO considerable amount !;
also, a Hamburg ship from Hamburger, off
the Hole in the Wall-out Of the latter of
which, they took guns, and other arti-
cles. When our informant left the pirate
she was at anchor oil The west end Of the
Grand Bahama, and plundered every thing
that came in her way. Whilst in irons OH
board, cur informant was repeatedly threat
ened with death, and two or three times
they had rope about his neck for that pur-
pose. A minority OF the crew wished to
stand by him, and obey his orders, but they
were overwhelmed 10y the stronger party.
They at last, however, agreed TO let him
60, and he was accordingly put Oh board
the brig Gen Ripley, captain Drew, who
was passing at the time, from Rum Key for
this port, where he arrived onMonday last.
This officer further states, that it was bis
intention to have got the vesselin some port
in the United States Or Venezuela, to
have the mutineers tried for their lives
but his efforts were unavailing.
lie has applied, we understand, to the
collector OF the port, for assistance to go and
endeavor TO capture her.
The name OF the officer who furnished
these particulars, as well as Of her nsuly
appointed officers, are in our possession.
The Hornet was government vessel, ana
had every necessary document, previous to
her departure from Norfolk. She has now
no papers on board of any description what
ever.
