Within these few nights past, several robberies have been committed in the city, with considerable daring; but none to equal in insolent temerity, one attempted last night, upon a house in Motte-street. A felow observing a front window hoisted in the upper story, placed a ladder against the house, and deliberately entered the room, which proving to be a bedchamber, and his noise waking the occupant, he could not effect his purpose. In his haste to make good his retreat, he left his ladder behind, which may probably, lead to a discovery of the villain. Died at sea, on his passage from the Havanna to New-Orleans, Lt.

Nine ropemakers, inhabitants of Liverpool, were, on Wednesday sentenced, in the court of king's bench, to twelve months imprisonment, for rescuing one of their fraternity. The attorney-general in support of the prosecution, observed that there was not only a spirit among the rope-makers of Liverpool to prevent any individual belonging to them from being impressed, but there also existed in that town a spirit to annihilate the impress service altogether, and to demolish all receiving houses.

The old man offered him a place by the fire, which he sullenly declined; and, after ordering the driver to unharness one of the horses, and ONE cold foggy evening in November 1792, an old man, a young woman, upon whose maternal knees reclined the head of a sleep-ride to W- for another chaise, he seated himself in a distant corner of the room, and seemed more disposed for sleep than The sailor, after casting a few significant looks towards the stranger, requested his sister to proceed. Fanny again commenced her tale. ing cherub, and a man about thirty 'God forbid'! exclaimed Fanny, who instantly flew out with a light. The post-boy, however, had exaggerated the case; for the gentleman, instead of being killed, had extricated himself from the overturned vehicle, and was walking "After the death of our poor mother, my father went on very badly he seldom passed a day without treating me ill, or a night without a fit of intoxication; the little we had was expended with. out any economy, and I was forced to labour hard to keep him and myself decent in appearance. The squire of the manor was a rich purse-proud man, but his son was the most engaging and amiable youth I had ever known; he regarded me with partiality, and, in my uninformed mind, he was the most perfect of mankind. Of his political principles I must say little--they have proved the de struction of all our happiness: his father vainly tried to check the impetuous sallies of youth; and the insurrection that broke out in such an alarming manner, and raged through Ireland, gave young Oberne too fatal an opportunity of showing the part he intended to take; yet his regard for me in some measure restrained him; but that restraint was but of short continuance, for, the death of his father placing him in a state of affluence and independence, he immediately proved his disinterestedness by making me his wife. Need I say my first care was to make my father comfortable, and for some time we were all so; but Oberne could not long remain inactive ; he headed a large party of rebels, attracted notice as a spirited leader from whom much might be feared, and became, in consequence, the object of pursuit. Reduced to the dreadful alternative of death or flight, we abandoned our peaceful home to the plunderers, and took refuge in a hovel about twelve miles from our for\mer residence; the affection of my husband made me bear fatigue and hardship with patience, and the homeliness of my former life rendered my present situation less irksome, than it would have been had I passed my youthful days in luxury and indolence ; yet Oberne's frequent absences filled my mind with agony. One day, as I was waiting his return with the impatience of distracted love, I beheld him flying breathless towards me, || pursued by a party of soldiers: I fell upon my knees; the balls flew round me and whizzed with a stun ning noise as they passed over my head. They surrounded my husband; he fought desperately, but was overpowered; I saw not the end; sense, life, forsook me in the moment that he was seized. The poor ignorant girl who had accompanied us to our retreat wept over me daily, and expected never more to hear me speak in a rational manner; but I did recover to new horrors, I learned that my husband was in prison, condemned to die, having killed two men in resisting the military power. I was not even allowed to share his prison, and my situation became dreadful indeed. The officer who commanded the detachment sent to secure Oberne felt compassion for so young and unfortunate a creature; by my direction he applied to my father, who inhumanly refused me protection. The hovel I was in was in every respect im proper for the state I was then in' for even necessaries were wanting. Captain Rivers insisted upon my removal to a more commodious place, and promised to use all his interest for my husband's release, but could not flatter me with hopes. At that time I suffered agonies in→ expressible; indebted to a stranger for support, deprived of a husband I adored by an ignominious death, and expecting to bring an infant into life without a friend to cherish, or a prospect of support, was my dreadful situation; and I should have sunk under it, but for the inspirations of that religion hich teaches an implicit dependance upon Providence. A few days after my becoming a mother, Captain Rivers came to me with looks of concern; my mind suggested the horrid tidings; but 1 was too hasty. Some of the cap tives had escaped-my husband among the number; but an immediate pursuit had been made,|| and a dreadful slaughter ensued: among the rest, Oberne fell!" A pause of distress ensued; the stranger, as if awaking from a deep sleep, requested a glass of water, and then resumed his former appearance of inattention. Fanny resumed : "Rivers then assured me that I should never want a friend, if I would accept of his protection; that his regiment was recalled to England, and that, if I would accompany him, he would pledge his honour I should be treated with all proper respect till I could get settled, which he assured me his friends in London would effect.What could I do? I knew it would be long before I could hear from you, even were I certain my letters would reach you. I placed every dependance upon the power of conscious virtue, and accepted his offer. He took me to London, told the history of my misfortunes to a sister, who wanted but his virtues to make her his exact counterpart, for never were two per sons so exactly modelled; she received me kindly, placed my child at nurse, and promised me every favour, Rivers behaved as a man of honour; he but once attempted to make a dishonourable proposal, and my repulse that time silenced him; yet the generous youth felt an affection for me so pure, so ardent, that he even offered me matriage. I felt penetrated with gratitude, but my heart was wounded too deeply to feel satisfaction at the proposal; it rather chilled with horror at the idea. 'No' cried I, snatching my infant to my breast, will beg with thee 1 through the world, rather than wrong thy father's memory by uniting myself with one whose arm has been raised against his life. A shower of tears rebuked me for the injustice of my accusation, yet every day brought fresh proofs of the strength of his passion; and || his sister, haughty, arrogant, and unfeeling, discovering the partiality of Rivers, and alarmed for the honour of her family, dismissed me from her house. Rivers once more offered his hand and fortune; I once more refused them. It is well,' cried he: I know your noble motives, dearest of women, and will no further urge.
