Gazette, Washington City, March 14. AN UNPRECEDENTED ROBBERY . Of THE PUBLIC MAIL. On the night ot the nth inst. as the mail cart was passing rapidly from Baltimore t Havre dc Grace it was checked by a fence built up across the road, within two miles of that place. Three men sprang from behind the fence, painted black and disguis ed in sailor's dres, who presented double barrelled pistols and dirks to the driver k a gentleman by the name of Ludlow, a passenger threatening them with instant death if they made any resistance. The robbers then took the driver and Mr. Ludlow a distance in the woods, and tied them to a tree. After three hours examining and plundering the mail, they took the four hor

ses and rode off towards Baltimore. In the night of the 12th the Post Master general received an express from the Post Master of Baltimore giving the above information. The Post Master General immediately dispatched a messenger (Mr. Bell,) to Baltimore, with instructions to the Post Master there. The consequence has been, that by the exertions of the Post Master at Baltimore, and the vigorous watchfulness of the constables two of the robbers were apprehended this morning and committed. The other will be taken. When the two robbers were apprehend . cd there were found in ther pas.
