He was taken about 13 miles the other aide of Lancaster, on the Htrrisbnrg road. This man freely confesses his participation in the Robbery ; be ?tays that when the Mtil stage came ?i|>, their hearts failed them, but one of theni crying out, wecaratt to rob the mail, it must be done, they im mediately made the attack. He nays lie received but six hundred dollar!, part of which be cx|ieuded in cloth ing and in the purchase of a watch in this city; 150 dollars he gave for Ins horse, and the remainder he had with him vdien apprehended, which he threw into the road as the persons were bringing him into Lancaster.?

IJc con fesses that he knew that the punish ment of his offence would be death. lie is descrilied as being a very timid man, and acknowledged that if any resistance had been made by the persons in the stage, he would certainly have run, and he lielieves the others would, for he w as as much frightened as any one in the stage. [Franklin tiux. Feb. 10. Robberies of baggage from stages yet continue, with n frequency which it is distressing to notice. The trunks from behind the stage w hicli arrived at Philadelphia from Baltimore on Friday evening last, w ere cut from the stage, but discovered in time by the passengers; and, it is said, the thief was taken in the fact. The following, copied from a New York paper, is lielieved to be a correct statement of a curious incident w hich lately took place. " A letter from Washington City, of the 1st instant states, that on tin* preceding uiglit, the stage in which the writer arrived in that citv was % I. bhed of all its baggage, and it was only owing to the piecaution of one of the passengers, a French gentle man, that it was not lost. Appre hending danger, l.e hod Jixcd a siring to oiw of the trunk*, und 'her rid to his hand, which soon <ved such a jet k as causcd him to cry out. TliLsti mtdy alarm caused ? * the passengers to pursue tlie robbers so closely, that they were compiled to drop their booty, ami flee to the neighbouring hushes." It may be added, that tlie robbers succeeded in carrying off a bed, which was amongst the baggage,; and that, among tin' passengers who thus narrowly saved their basjraire, were two of the Judges nf tlie^ Su preme Court. JVat. Int. Talking of JWuil Rubbers, reminds us of a (i good joke" we heard a few days ago. A man who arrived here ill a packet from Jialtimore the week before last to look for employment, was engaged at one of our bake houses for a few days, after w hich lie quit his employer; and it apjiears that the next thing he tuimcd his hand te was a trunk of goods which he carried off from the ware-house near YY brren's wharf, and deposited on hoard the packet Mary & Ann. Capt. Rollins, bound to Kaltimore, as his higgug*.?This was on Friday morning last, about the time the packet was advertised to sail. It happened, however, most unluckily for this dexterous conveyance, th; t the wind came ahead before the ves sel sailed, which caused her to be detained a da^> longer; and in the interim the trunk having !>een missed, due inquiry was immediately institut ed, w hich resulted in its recovery by the right owners, and the apjuehen sion of the robber. It may here be sai l with much aptness, that " it is au ill wind which blows nobody good."?J\a)folk Herald, Feb. 10. Tht Battle of New- Orleans. The Louisiana legislature have resolved " that tlie memorable 8th of January shall, in future, he observed as a day of public thanksgiving; that a Te Ileum shall be sung at the Catholic Church m the city of New Orteans, and the civil and military ollicers of the state and of the United States be incited? together with the ministers ok 'every denomination, to join in a procession from government Louse to the place of ceremony." .. Boxin>,y. -On the 8th of Decem ber, one most horrible boxing matches that ever occurred, took place in London, between bcroggius (not Giles) and Martin. After tlie Olst round, which occupied more than 1\w> hours, tliey roTled down together, blind and beaten to a perfect mummy. ?Martin was declared the victor, merely because he had strength enough to raise his haijjl and let it fall upon Scroggins. ?Additional Information.?In ad dition to the melancholy circum stances which attended the fatal Duel !n*tween the late General Mason and Mr. M'Carty, it is stated that they were blood relations, being Cousins in thejirst degree, and added to this, that the brother of one of the parties had married the Sister of the other. Of all the sanguinary anil barbarous rencontres which stain the pages of what is called im.Vrn chivalry, we lielieve this to he without a parallel. - Charleston Times. Mintder case of the most atro cious kind was wantonly committed last evening, between the hours of H and 9 o'clo<k, in this city, oil the body of John Martin. pa\er, who, it appears, was stabbed in the side by James Hoyd, mill-weight. The deceased was in the act of get ting a bucket of w ater, \n hich bad been refused to two of his sons by Boyd, w ho claimed the pump as his private property,, although plated on the public street. A weapon, suppo sed to be a case knife, was made use of for (his act. Both parties, it is to be lamented, have families; the former a wife ami nine children ; the latter a wife and three children.

Mr. Bunce?It will he recollect ed probably by yourself ami the public, that a publication, api>eared against me in the Augusta Chroni cle in April 1818, charging me with a course of conduct of which * w< not guilty ; and in the discussion, which that publication occasioned, it may also l>e recollected that 1 re marked that while there was iu the pa[>ers only one assertion against another, a course of legal investiga tion was to l?e pursue^ in which the real merits of-ihe case will be de veloped.

The laws of this state wisely and prO|>erly al low, in such prosecc ions, the truth to be given in evidence ; and of this equitable provision the defendant endeavored to avail himself?but failing to prove the truth of his charge, lie was found guilty, and sentenced by the Court to a fine of two hundred dollars, aud thirty days imprisonment. The council on both sides did justice to their clients, and the verdict substantially evi denced the subscriber's innocence of the charges alleged against him. BEN J.

The fol lowing are some particulars :?The bridge, of which more is daily dis covered, runs from I he Weerdinger tout, through the marsh, |M*t the Haar, ami the convent Ser Ajfel, a distance of aU>ve .full three leagues. It consists principally of rough tirs, of the length of 12 feet, neatly laid together. W hen the marsh ground is carefully taken up, no interval is to be seen between these stems, which are, on an average, three or four inches in diameter. Here and there, instead of stems, there are split planks, of the above length, anil va rious diameters. There are no nails, and all is hewn with the axe. it is generally believed that this is the bridge of Germanicus, nv _ ioncd in Tacitus, and which was luid about this place, |>y 40 Roman cohorts, on occasion of a hasty retreat, 13 years after the birth of Chriut," A Peasant of Dallonville, in the department of Kuze, recently dis covered, whilst digging in a Field, the remains of a Vase which con tained from six to eight thousand Copper Coin*, the size of a Kranc, having the heads of all the Roman Empvrors, from C om mod uw to Con stahiinc.
