BALTIMORE, JULY 2$,
Few robberies have been committed of a
more audacious nature than that of the Dank,

mon villain ; but fo daring and fo per
fectly well acquainted with the avenues lea
ding to the interior of the bank, were tilde
ruffians, that they completely fucceedoi in
‘ *rogreding as far as their phyfical ftrength
could carry them, and effected their efcape
with a cumbrous iron cheit, which it would
require at lesft two iturdy fellows to carry
off. 1 hey made their enrrv in at the back
gate, the lock cf which they forced—then
through a backdoor into the hall, the door
of which tliey alfo forced.—This brought
them to the door of the bank, which c uid
not have been opened without the
i utmoft violence and exertions — Every draw
er that was locked now flew before firm,
where there was a profpret of comiig at
any money,—The outer iron door if the
vault was wrentchcd open, and the inner
iron door from the difficulty of getting a
a pnrchale on if, alone refilled theirafaults
though its ilrong foipftone frame b ars
many violent marks 01 the crowbar. For
tunately, however, their ftrength failed
them here, and they thought proper to de
camp with the irsn chcft— a f nail conpen
fation for the lift: thev muft have run.
The cheit was found vefterday in the
Falls, below the lower bridge, by ft; me hoys
who weie fwimming. — It had been bioken
open and rifled of its contents.
It may be proper to remark, th.r. the
calhter, with his family, hat retired to his 1

who lodges in the bank, was the liri :o

ON Tnefd.iv between the

made to hop the United States* Mail Stage,
on its way from Washington to this city.
The ftage contained but one paflenger and
the driver ; and we learn from the former,
that near Snowdens iron works,four prowl
m2 villains llfued forth from ambulh — one,
a white man, made an effort to flop the hor
fes, but in attemring to grafp their reins,
they took fuch a fright as to oration a
fpecd which fecured "the dago and its con
tents from the depredation intended. The
remaining three were negroes, who fceemed
to wait for the Hopping" of the h mlcs, to
1 ' umence their attack on the Hanre. To
