of the French female, Mary Switzer alias
! klut2, is likely to lead TO some strange and I'M
portant dCvelopements, In the large leather
trunk, found in her possession, there was also
! discovered an immense number of letters, lsc
veral hundred,) written in French, German
and Hebrew, which purport to be, so far as they
have been translated, Il regular correspon-
dencc, kept up for a series Of years between
number Of persons in all the principal cities OF
! the Union, as we'll as Europe. We were pre-
sent Yesterday at the translation and reading
/ OF portion of the letters. The Argus, whose
reporter was present during the entire reading,
/ gives the following statement. That paper
says, they, (the letteIs,) give some startling
/ and important facts in reference to rObberles,
and other transactions, of large gang Of eX.
pert foreign thieves and villains who have been
/ preying upon the public in Europe and the l..
States for number Of years. They speak Of
transactions in Europe, Of large character,
giving the details of large robberies and the
means used TO cyade the Police there and here
They also give the information that the United
States is better place for the transaction Of
their business, than Europe, on account Of the
Police not being So expert, and the chances of
GLIDING discovery being greater We are not
at liberty to give any full accounts oftheir con-
tents, which would, indeed, require columns,
bat can say that it is highly probable that it
may lead to the arrest and breaking up, Of
gang of the most accomplished villains in the
world. We will state one transaction in order
! to show how well they have been organized,
and conducted their operations. A large robbery
was committed in France which was published
in the various journals in Paris, and number
: o. copies OF paper containing an account of
the robbery, with description Of the rogues
who had fled 10 tho u,,ited States, were sent
to the French paper published in New ork' TO
be spread before the public here; but the gang
got wind oft, and actually succeeded in steal
ing the papers describing them, and the proper
ty, after they had arrived in the United States,
thus completely suppressing al information on
the subject. This is only one OF a number of
cases which they describe to each other, IN
their correspondence, and which we will as
soon as It shall be judged proper, lay be'orc the
public. This trunk appears from its contents,
to have been the property of one of the leaders
OF the gang, and no doubt its falling into the
hands of the Police, has caused much, and Just
cause OF uncaslness to the parties Implicated
We would also state thatu ''seal" of rare manu-
tacture and value, was found in this trunk, which
had on it deaths head, and bones, " show
ing that its owner must be a perfect pirate.
