The examination and confession of Morris JVorton Bartholomew Hull, taken before me, Theodoric Bland, Judge of the Dis trict Court in and for the district of Ma ryland, on this 28th day of March, in the year eighteen hundred and twenty : After being cautioned that his acknow ledgements and confessions must he made without hope or fear, and perfectly volun tary and free, the said 1 lull saitli, that he was born in New-Hartford, in the State of New-York: that,he is now twenty years of age, and that lie studied physic, and was principally raised to the business of a drug gist, in the druggist, shop of his father, in Utica, New-York ; that he was some time out of employ in New-York, where, about five weeks ago, he met with, and, for the first time, became acquainted with Pere grine Hutton ; about two weeks after the.y be< c,came acquainted, they left New-York for Baltimore together ; Hutton complained that he was out of money, and proposed t come to Baltimore, where, as soon as he arrived, he could lay his hands on as much as he wanted immediately ; he did not. say how it was to he got, but expressed great confidence in getting it. Hull borrowed of Miles Hitchcock, his father's cousin twen ty-five dollars, with which lie bore his (Hull's) and Hutton’s expenses—they tr; veiled together from New-York,to Phila delphia in the mail stage ; thence to Wil mington in the stCam-hoat; thence to New port in the stage. Hull left his trunk unde a pretence that it was Hutton’s’ iu New York, at Capt. James Whelpley’s in pledge for Hutton's debt, with some of his (Hull’s) clothes in it, the rest of his clothes being put into Hutton’s trunk ; the keys of the two trunks happened to he alike ; but which he did not discover until they arrived in Baltimore. Hutton proposed to him (Hull) in Wilmington, to stop and rob the mail, hut specified nothing distinctly as to time, place or manner ; then it was, that Hull first sus pected that Hutton had all along alluded to the mail robbery, from Newport. They, (Hull and Hutton,) travelled ou foot to Bal timore, and, iu the course of their journey, the subject of the mail robbery was fre quently spoken of; Hutton said lie knew of 3 or four good places for the purpose, if they could make a safe retreat—a place near Havri -de-Grace was mentioned ; Hull said he would leave the place entirely to Hutton, as he knew the country. They had made up their minds upon the robbery of the mail before they readied Baltimore, and agreed that it should he perpetrated beyond the Falls of Gunpowder ; but recollecting that there was a bridge in the way, which Hutton believed was a toll bridge, over which they would not readily make a retreat, it was given up; and they came on to Baltimore where they arrived on this day two weeks, and put up at George Keck’s, in Old Tow n. On Thursday or Friday, after they arrived in Baltimore, they left this city, and went out on foot, about 8 o’clock in the afternoon, on the Philadelphia road, with a design to meet and rob the mail ; and travelled out into a wood, about 2 miles beyond the big Falls of Gunpowder, when they stationed themselves, and threw some rails across the voad, and about two hours after, that is, n- bouttwo o’clock, A. M. the mail waggon coming up, when Hull, perceiving it had lamps, said they had better not attempt it, which, after a little, was agreed to ; they withdrew the rails from the road, and the waggon immediately passed ; they were a- bout thirty feet from the mail when it pass ed; lie, (Hull) is pretty certain he saw no One in the waggon but the driver ; and h recollects that Hutton said, “ there was no one in it but the driver, it’s u fine opportuni ty, and we might as easily head it as not; and that he hud a good inind to attack it (liinsclf,” Returning to Baltimore, Hutton said “he Would have it sometime, if he were to at tack it alone:” they reached Baltimore about day-light, and put up again at Keck’s: when they went out this first night, they had a small iron screw barrel pocket pistol, the guard hack of the cock was broke, which was loaded by Huitou; and each of them bad a stout knife, with a Made about four in ches long, commonly called a Spanish knife, which they bought in New-York, at the re commendation of llutton; they had no sticks,clubs, or other weapons the first night. Hutton had a mask, made of an old leather cap, and Hull had a mask made of the hairy part of the same old cap, which was put on about his neck and chin, more like a hand kerchief than a mask ; when they went out of town they put on other clothes over those they had on. They were out again on Thurs day last on the Philadelphia road, with ade sign to rob the mail, about eight miles from the city, equipped in all respects as on the first night: but when the mail wagon came up there were two men in it; they heard them talking, and therefore let it pass ; they then threw nothing into the road. They re turned to Baltimore, and coining in, Hutton said, “ 1 will go every night until 1 have it.” On Friday night last, after they had got their supper at Keek’s, about eight o’clock they again set out on the Philadelphia road. ' Vl 'h intent to rob the mail, and were artne sail equipped in :UI respects as on the first occasion, but had cut each of them a stick to walk with. They stationed themselves in a wood n hunt eight miles from the city. Hutton threw a Jew brushes into one branch of the road; w 'on the mail wagon came up, they were standing near the road, Hutton more in it; “ •ore th,: mail got up, Hutton said to Hull “•eve was but one person in it; the first word spoken washy Hutton, addressed to the dri ver, “1 command you (said he) to stop: there are four of us old offenders,” the driv er said nothing but tro to his horses, ic stop ped. Hutton told Hull to take hold of the Horses and lead them into the woods, the driver remarked as he got into the woods, “ gentlemen this is far enough, you have got every thing, 1 give up, you may have all, 1 make no resistance, limit injure mi, ) hav e a wife and children, I do not know either of you, and I can t be an ev idcnct against you.” Mutton said nothing, Hull said “it is nut you we want, we dont want to injure you.” The driver had by this time jumped oil*the wa gon, and Hutton was tying him w ith the reins first behind by the two arms, and then tied his right arm to a suppling. Hutton then with his knife, ripped open the mail. Hull then tied the other arm of the driver to ano ther suppling; llutton then threw the mail hags on the ground and they pillaged the let ters ami collected the money as fast as they could : one of the hags had in it meal or something of the kind: before they had col lected the money, llutton told llt ll to un harness the horses, ready fora retreat ; af ter they had done pillaging the mail, Hutton told Hull, itt alow voice, “now you must go up and shoot him.” Hull said “ no, lie don’t know us, we had better let the man go, il we do do it, we shall surely lie lumg.” Hutton replied;* 1 It must he done, lie knows me, you must shoot him or shoot me.” Hull begged of Hutton to let the man go, but he said not, and insisted oil his being shot. Hull then went up to the driver, and shot him : he jumped up, hallooed, and then fell and groaned. Hutton told Hull to go up again and feel his pulse; which he did, and found him still aliv e. Hutton then went tqt to him, and stabbed him twice with his knife, and killed him. Hutton and Hull then mounted the horses, and rode on towards Baltimore as far as the wood on this side of the mill, where they tied the horses and left them, Ik. then came into Baltimore a little before sun rise, and on the same day, in the afternoon, were apprehended in Bridge-street. They counted the money in their room, at Keck’s and there was about five thousand dollars in good notes, besides the post notes Ss. cut notes. After they had counted the money, Hutton said he would wait until they hud lighted a fire, and then lie would hum the cut notes. Some of the good notes he put into each of their pocket books, and the rest, with the post, notes, he put into his trunk.— After they were arrested, and brought into the jail, llutton was examined, and on find ing a .00 dollar note in his pocket book,somi one remarked it was a forged note, when Hull stepped up near him, and Hutton struck Hull’s hand and slipped into it the cut note which he then thought had been put into the trunk. Hull, not knowing vvli.it lo do with them, slipped them into his pantaloons, where they were found. Before, and after, they had lobbed tile mail, llutton proposed that they should go to the southward, to Petersburg, iu Virginia, and there set up the Druggist and Grocery business. They had disposed of none of the money before they were apprehended. The over-clothes in which they perpetrated the robbery, and their knives, were thrown away. Hull tied a stone to his clothes, and threw them into the falls, at the upper side of Market-street Bridge. Hutton’s trunk was sent from Newport lo Newcastle, and thence brought to Baltimore in the steam boat, by an o: del from Hull, under the name of Norton, which he then assumed, and also by another order from Hutton.

SINGULAR ELOPEMENT. Paris, (Kentucky) March 9. On Saturday the 4th inst. Major Wil- m Trigg, a citizen of this town, and Cashier of the Branch Bank, left home in the evening, pretending a visit to his sister in Fayette County, and represent ing that his return might be expected the next day. On the Monday following bank hours arrived, and no Cashier ap peared to conduct the business of the In stitution. It had been discovered in the mean time that a young lady of respec table parentage and connections had dis appeared, and no conjecture could at first be formed, either of the cause of her de parture, or ol her motives in leaving the comforts of her farther’s house. The Major being slill absent, connected with the absence ofthe lady, and some other circumstances recollected by individuals, attached to him a suspicion in the minds of some, which they feared to express. At the first intimation of the suspicion, the Directory, alarmed for the safety ot the Bank, repaired thither, and examin ed and counted its funds, and discovered all safe. This, however, only lulled, hut did uot eradicate suspicion. Further searches were made, and in a pocket- book left in one of the desks of the Bank, there was discovered a list oi his debt: and credits, exhibiting a large balance in bis favor, after his debts should be satis fied. He then proceeds to disclose his contemplated flight, and the causes of it, in feeling expressions, of which the iul- lovving is a correct copy :— “ I keep no book of accounts and this is as nearly the state of my affairs as I cat recollect them. 1 shall in a few days leave this part of the world, and when to return God only knows. My conduct, I know, will be condemned, and rnyseli with it. The motives which induce me no man knows but myself, 1 am sorry the Church of which I have hern a mem ber—but it injures not the religion ofo- thers, and every one has to lender un account fur himself. “I uni also sorry for the families, that will suffer in feeling—but they have not me alone to blame. 1 have for a h* g t'tne been innocently attached to this fe male, and never should have thought of any other kind, bad I not been driven to a different course by the menaces of in) family mid their satellites. 1 have left property sufficient to pay till my debts, mul have a large surplus left to support my family. I take with me 3000 dollars, the clothes on my back and one change, two horses and my watch; with this scan ty amount, 1 seek a new country and new employment. The place to which I am going is distant and unknown to any human being, and in all probability shall not be beard of for several years. “ I leave a power of attorney for Mr. A. Ward to transact my business, and settle my affairs by the sale of any pro perty necessary ; but bad rather he would retain the Paris property. (Signed) Wm. TRIGG.” Then follows the letter of attorney to Mr. Abram Ward, a merchant of this place. In it lie directs, after his debts are paid, the residue ol'liis elate to he ap propriated to the sustenance of his wife. At the r1o«e of the power, he adds this additional memorandum. “ The Bank accounts and money will be fjund to stand fair. If there is any deficit it must be small, growing out of mii.-counting. \V. T.” Mr. Trigg is upwards of 60 years of age, and possesses an ample fortune.— l i former years lie was given to intem perance ; but had for some years pas! reformed. He held the commission of IIujor iu the 28th Regiment of U. States Infantry in the late war. Since that period his reformation ap peared to he of the most deep rooted character. He ardently and zealously embraced the Christian religion, and be came a ruling elder in the Presbyterian church, lie possessed the most tinli mi led confidence, not only of his breth ren ofthe same society, hut of all his ac quaintances. He conducted properly as i cashier and as a citizen, lie was sur rounded with the esteem and alVection f his connections, his neighbors and nu merous friends, and in ease and afilu- onco, enjoyed the comforts of a married life with an amiable wife, with whom he had lived for about thirty tears, and in whose bosom, liy this last desolating act of wickedness, he has planted a thou sand goading thorns of pungent grief.— Upon examining his private papers mi nutely, it is found that he has taken great pains to provide for the payment of all iiis debts. That his estate is amply sol vent, and that few men in the place were more independent, or free from the em barrassments of t he times. I lo seems at the time of his departure, so far as re lates tohis dealings with the world, to have provided strongly against adding minute sins to the enormous crime he wits about to perpetrate, and perhaps a similar instance could not lie found, of an act so abandoned, mingled with such trait* of moral honesty. The event has filled his fellow citizens with more than wonder, they really experience absolute astonishment. From tin Newark Ctnlinel, March 28. HYDROPHOBIA. An affecting case of this dreadful malady has occurred in this vicinity. On the 17tli of January last, Thomas Palmer, a young man in the employ of Joseph Pierson, lisq of South Orange, was hit l>\ a (iog supposed to he mad. As a precautionary stop, he went immediately to New-York anil procur ed the scull-rap, which lias been supposed to lie a sovereign remedy for this dreadful poi son. We are informed he made a free use of this herb, and accommodated his diet to the directions prescribed in a pamphlet which treats on tile subject. No ill effects were felt, or any complaints made, till Fri day the 17th inst. when a slight pain w as ex perienced in the shoulder, which gradually extended the two follow ing days. On .Mon day afternoon, the 21>l, the family in which te lived for the first time became seriously rlarmed, and it was soon ascertained to he a distinct ease ofliydrojihohia. Two or three physicians were called in, but their skill was unavailing; the disease progressed, and he died on Thursday evening last, greatly dis tressed in mind as well as body. He was ed about 22 years, and has a mother liv ing ten miles above Albany. The circumstances attending the wound which has proved fatal to Palmer, and the. providential escape of others in the same fa mily, are truly remarkable. On the even ing of the 171 h January, the dog attacked a nose sitting beside tlie house—the door was pencil, and, while a son of Mr. Pierson w a* standing in the door, the dog passed befw een hi* iegs into the house, and laid himself qui ll y down. The dog appeared worried, tc >otli Palmer and a son of Mr. Pierson exa mined the collar round his neck to ascertain his owner. All this without any repulsive disposition in the dog. At this time there were ten persons in the room—and no one anticipating the least danger from the ani mal. On a sudden lie sprung at Palmer, and snapt him in the hand, and, after run ning around the room and greatly affright ing the family, passed out at the door. east, was mi lire, when this was written : hut hopes were entertained that they would he partially saved. Philadelphia, March 28. Early this morning, an attempt was made by a number of the convicts in the State Prison in this city, lo make their escape.— They succeeded in making their way into the prison yard, which is surrounded by a wall. Fired upon by the citizens, several of them were wounded, and one killed, anil they were driven hack into the prison. They threw stones and brickbats at those who ware firing on them and bruised though but slightly, twoor three gentlemen. A detach ment ofthe military has been marched into the prison, and still remains there; and the walls are surrounded by armed guards, for the purpose of preventing any escape. RECORDER.

ANOTHER TERRIBLE CONFLAGRATION. Philadelphia, April 3. Yesterday evening, about Si o’clock, the repeated attempts which had been made to set fire to the NEW THEATRE in this city, was carried into effect. That large Edifice, with its valuable machinery and scenery together with the Gas House attached to it, is now a heap of ruins. The conflagration (£7* The detected plot to assassinate at “one fell swoop” the whole of the British Ministry, (an account of which will he found in our preceding columns) is but another in dication of that restless spirit, which per vades, in a greater or less degree, the mass of the people, in almost every part of Europe. Should the efforts ofthe Spanish Insurgents, whose prospects arc representi d by our last accounts as not unpromising, prove success ful, their example may stimulate to revolu tionary exertions the oppressed of other na tions. Cj7=* The resolutions of Mr. Clay respect ing Texas, appear to he in direct opposition to the conciliatory policy recommended by the President’s late Message to Congress.— If these resolutions be adopted, which how ever we consider not at all probable, our tedi ous hegociation with Spain will terminate where it began, without, having produced any thing but increased irritation, on our part at least. (£/* We have received from a friend at Washington City, a printed copy of the cor re.spondcncc between Commodores Decatur mid Barron, w hich preceded the fatal duel, published by tlie friends of the former. In our next paper, a part, if not the whole of it, will he laid before our readers. Washington, March 31. Our readers w ill perceive, many of them with aching hearts, that tlie bill to establish an uniform system of Baiikiuptcy, bus been rejected iu the Senate of the United Slates. This important measure has not failed from the want of a full consideration : il has been maturely considered! Nor lias it failed, we believe, because a majority of the Senate deem a Bankrupt law inexpedient. Some of the friends of the bill thouglitit best to unite what is called tlie insolvent system with what is technically termed the bankrupt system—that is, to apply the latter to mer chants and traders only, and to extend the former to all other debtors of a certain a- ■nounl with their own consent; these gen tlemen, uniting to them those who tlisap prove all legislation on the subject, succeed ed in engrafting this feature in the bill. The unit hi of the two principles, being deemed an insuperable objection with several of those who favor a strict and simple bank rupt act, limy Were com cried into eucuiiei to the bill, and formed, with the opponent of both principles, a majority against, it. The. decided vote by which the hill has been lost in the Senate, will, in all probability induce thu House of Representatives to a- haiidon the subject there, for the present scs sion at least. The heart* of thousands of unfortunate, men will sink within them when they shaij hear of a decision which seems almost to seal their fate, and convert long cherished hope into despair. We feel for them, as we tuist we feel fur the distressed, iu whatever condition of life. [An/, hit Miiilia if the United States.—The.

S. SMITH. April 4th, 1820 Savannah, April IL The vigilance of the police of this ci ty, made a most important discovery on Friday night. Sergeant Horace, of the city watch, received information front u Mr. Anthony Nani, that he (Nurd) had overheard a conversation at one ofthe wharves, between 2 Spaniards, iu which arrangements were made, in conjunction with nine others, to tire the citv on Sa turday night last, at four different pla ces.

Since writing tlie above, we under stand four others ofthe gang of villains were arrested on Saturday evening, anil have been committed to prison. Their object, from the confession of the party, was, to fire tlie town at different points, where they were to commence the scene of destruction.
