The Patent Once Robbed.
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD.
Just sfer the House adjourned, the news reach
ed the Capitol that great robbery had been ef.
fectej at MONDAY, in the room over the Paien, or.
Ace, where the various valuable presents, made to
the Government and its officers relics of the Revo-
lution certain old Treaties with Foreign Powers,
General Washinglon's Uniform, and many valua-
ble specimens of American manufactures, &c. are
deposited.
Between l2 and | o'clock yesterday, tho thief
succeeded, by the false keys, in unlocking the door
of the II room at the end Of the large saloon,
which the attendant left but few minutes before,
where the most costly articles were deposited, broke
open the glass .se, and therefrom the splendid
GOLD AND DIAMOND SNUFF Box, said to be worth
from three to five thousand dollars, which had
been presented by the Emperor exander, of Rus.
sia, to Mr.. Harris, while he was ambassador to
that Court, and which deposited in the archives
of the State Department by John q Adams, whilst
he was President.
They also took the rxAnLNEcKLAcE, which was
presented to our Government some two or three
years since by the Emperor of Muscat, valued at
several thousand dollars, though not considered
worth as much as the snuff box. They completed
their spoils by taking the coLb scAbhARp of the
sword which had been presented to commodore
Bddle by the Viceroy of Peru, some ten fifteen
years since, during the troubles in South America
The value of the three articles stolen is estmi
ted at about from ten to twelve thousand dollars,
for the recovery of which reward of $1,000 is Of
fered by Mr.. Ellsworth, the Commissioner of Pa
tents.
learned last evening" that two young English
men, who arrived here yesterday, are suspected
The police Of Baltimore had their eyes upon them
there, in consequence Of private information recei-
we'd; and so strong were the suapicions against
them there, that officer from Baltimore came here
in the cars with them, TO look after their move-
ments. If that report is correct they will probably
be caught, no line left here before the robbery
made public. Yours &c.
