William D. Robinson, Esq. eldest son of the late Capt. James Robinson, of this city, was slain in the attack of fort Guazalcos, in South America, in the month of October last.
An unlimited spirit of enterprize, with an extensive knowledge of the Spanish main, the language, &c. induced him to take an active, and as it has proved, a fatal interest in the concerns of that country. His superior talents, his eccentricities, and his unexampled vicissitudes in life, are well known to many of our citizens, and to a considerable portion of the commercial world in general, to whom this information will not be uninteresting.
