A supposed spy.

--F. W. Robartes was arrested yesterday and committed to Castle Thunder on the charge of being a spy. The accused arrived in this city a few weeks since and claimed to be a regularly commissioned lieutenant-colonel in the Royal Army of England; but, in the absence of all papers establishing that fact, and his inability to produce any acquaintances from among the numerous English gentlemen now in this city, his statements are all doubted, and therefore his arrest upon the charge above cited. When arrested he was endeavoring to obtain passports to go through the lines.
