A rumor has been afloat in this city for some days past, that Mr. Rush had made an enquiry of our Government, by the request of the English Cabinet, to ascertain whether the United States were prepared to join England in a uni ted resistance to any attempt of the Holy Alliance , upon the indepen dence of the South America Repub lics. We confess that we are cred ulous to believe not only this, but that England is prepared to join us in resisting all further attempts on the partof the Allied Powers, to colonize this country. They have large possessions on this continent to defend irom loreign aggression, as well as the U. States. England is jealous of Alexander’s power, and the settlement which he has formed on our western frontier, has already been with the English cab inet, a subject of remonstrance. Baltimore Morn. Chron. ROBBERY OF THE MAIL For some weeks past, the Wes tern Mail, due at this Post office, has been subject to depredation.— Some of the merchants have sus tained losses of their remittances from the Western country, as New Orleans, Mobile, &c. So crying had the complaints be come from several quarters, that, we understand, the Postmaster Gener al came to the resolution to attempt to put a stop to it. The measures he pursued have so far proved ef ficient. An agent was sent on with par ticular instructions to detect the pilferer ; and the scheme has even tuated in the apprehension of the Postmaster at Newbern, Mont gomery county. We understand that on the 26th ult. a letter was put into the post office by the agent at Abingdon, addressed to a person in this city, containing 820 in small North Carolina Notes. The.agent employed a countryman to call at the post office at Newbern, to ask for a letter, and there being none for him to enquire ofthe postmaster if he could give him small North Carolina notes for two s’s as he found it difficult to change them on the road. The postmaster (Wolh ford) readily gave SlO in the very notes he had stolen from the agent’s letter. As soon as the agent re ceived these, he called at the office and demanded of W. the other 810 which were found,when W. confess ed his guilt. He was lodged in the jail at Montgomery Courthouse on the evening of the 29th. It seems that nearly every double let ter in W’s office had been broken open—and that he had a good deal of money in notes of various banks in his possession. Richmond Enquirer | lj™ The llev. M.
