The recent robbery of the mail effected the road be-
tween Philadelphia and Washington City, having rise
publications and runors utterly unounded IN iao' tne
subscribers by whotn under instructions from the Post
master General minute and successful investigation has
been conducted deem it their duty to make the following
statement.
Upon the arrival of the mail at Washington City, on the
ist Of March last discovered that the inside bag had
been cut open many letters taken out although the
portmanteau with its lock had been apparently anoucned
the impression, from the nature OF the ROBBERY hat
those concerned in it must have been connected, elmer
with post offices, drivers between Philadelphia AND
Washington City II therefore thought proper that
thorough investigation should take places in order 10
detect the perpetrators and for this purpose it was deem
ed requisite to commence with the hrst once upon the
route from which the mail started.
Upon the arrival of the undersigned in Philadelphia eve
~ person connected with the post office there, cheeruy
and frankly submitted to the closest examination lnere
was no evasion, disguise difficulty. was very soon
clearly asceraned, that not only no blame imputable
to that Office but such it's peculiar order of business
such were its regularity and precision, that violation OF
the mail within its precincts could not be accomplished
without almost immediate detection On this particular
OCCASION the process of their business distinctly dis
played, and that the great southern mail was traced
through all its various stages OF preparation, until hnaly
deposited in the eathern portmaneau IN the presence OF
all the clerks chained and locked delivered to the con
tractors agent and by him hosed in front OF the coach
then waiting the door The result which It'll not thought
proper this time to detail has proved that they DO mere
justice oupright public servants IN whose

reposed And it is specially due to RICHARD BAcHE, Esq
The Postmaster at Philadelphia, TO say that he promptly
rendered every facility in the above Investigations evncve

house of Maj. James D. Porter, of Octorara hun
dred, in Cecil county, caught fire and was consum
ed, with almost all the household furniture. The
wind being very strong, the FIRE was blown to the
barn, corn. house and Wagon housc--al OF which
we're consumed with their contents. We have
not heard What the amour, Of the loss is estimated
at, but it must be very considerable. buildings
were spacious and nearly new and large quant
ty Of very valuable property was destroyed.
The fire was also blown over the farm and con

it's ravages could be stopped. Press.
Raleigh, ". c., March "a. l826.-We hear that
the enterprising fishermen in the vicinity of Beau.

since. This animal measured fifty feet in length,
and it is computed that the oil will be Of the value
of 500 dollars. Although Whales are seldom taken
on coast now, yet half century ago, that FISH
ry was an abundant source of profit to the inhabi
