Al, /011•11 WAIN And AN"' CIANN. This was an indiament against the two Defend ants, for assaulting the Prosecutrix; first, with an intent to murder ; and, in a second count, with an intent to ravish. This was a very singular ease. The Prosecutrix was a very pretty and decent looking young woman, and the story she told was as fellon 6 That nut being very cell, she had resolved to leave London, to go to her friends at StOWMalket, and on the 25th of July, she took her place in the waggon. The two prissners, Abraham Hearn and Ann Crann, were also passengers in the waggon, and Hearn, she understood, was brother to the proprietor. As the night approached, she made herself abed in the fere-part of the waggon, and at night wont to sleep ; near Stanway she was awakened by Hearn taking scene indecent liberties with her ; she called out to the waggoner for assistance, who desited her to put her head back, or she would fall out of the waggon ; she drew back, and fainted; but, when She recovered herself, she found the Defendants taking her out at the side of the waggon. Crann asked her to go walk a little way ; she objefted, because she had lost her shoes ; but Crann prevailed upon the wit ness to accompany her dawn a lane ; when she had got a little way she insisted on returning . Just at that mement she received a blow en the h ead from genie one behind, and a kick in the ha - k. A man at that moment, whom, by his voice, she knew to be 'learn, took her up in Hs arms, and dished her against the ground. Anat happened alto:weeds she dad not know, for she became insensible. When she recovered herself, she fJurd herself Orme in the lane in the da•k ; she ciarled upon. he: fends and knees antil she reached the high road, and tbfqi, as it seemed to her, she fell asleep, for she dreamt that she was in bed, and pulling the bed-clothes over her, which awakened hat, and she found she had a handful of grass : she was too feeble to rise, and she saw several coaches pass, but site could not make them hear; at last a z.uard of on.e of the coaches saw her and took her up. She was carried to Col chester, where she wandered about for six hours, sometimes sensible and sometimes not, her senses coming and going ; at length she found her way to Mr. Hedges. a Magistrate ; she did not remember bow; but she told him her story. He ordered her to be taken care of. The next day she was quite de. lit-ions, and remained so for six weeks, before she re covered. On her cross-examination, she said, she was ill when she left town, but she had never been delirious, nor was she so when in the waggon. Abraham Hewett, the waggoner, stated, that the Prosecutrix called out to him near Shaman.", saying, " I'm interrupt,d by these vagebondfs." He told her to draw back, or else she nightfall out of the waggon • she did se, and he thought he heard her crying. Before he got to Colchester, he heard Hearn and Crann talking in the waggon : he heard Hearn say, he wished he had not done it. The woman re. plied, •• Never mind. it will be thought somebody else has done it." When they got to Colchester, be missed the young woman, and asked the Prisoners what had become of her ? They both said, they did not know, but that she had been out of her senses in the night, and probably had got out when they were asleep. The Guard of the Norwich Mail proved lie found the girl in the situation she described, and that he carried her to Colchester. Mr. Perkins, a surgeon, proved, that he had ex amined the gill. From his testimony it appeared, ete had been most cruelly ill-treated. Her head was much bruised—enough, in his judgment, to have produced the delirium; her neck was scratched; and there was a mark round one thigh, as though from a tight ligature, with a rope, or somesuch thing. Ann ( rann, in her defence, said, that the Prose entrix had shewn evident signs of being out of her mind on thevoad, and that she was very disturbed just at dark ; she persuaded her to lie down and be quiet, which she did at last ; and when she thought that the Prosecutrix was gone to sleep, she herselt also went to sleep, and never waked until they reached Colchester. When they arrived, they missed the you • g woman. Miry Squirrel was called, but she completely con firmed Hewett as to the conversation ; and stated, that Crarn, in the latter part of the journey, behaved so indecently with Hearn, that the Witness rebuked her for her conelua. She stated further, that Crann bad talked of what had happened on the road, and said they had used a young woman very ill, and she was afraid is bad would come of it." The Jury, without hesitatioa, found both the Pri soners Chatty. A man belonging to a Torbay smack, lately ar rived at Dover, for the fishing season, from Torbay, was found drowned in the Outer Bay, on Thursday morning. He has left a wife and five children. On Monday last, as two men, with a cart and two h o r se s, were going, at a quick rate, along Bled:- Mars-road, one of the mere, who was riding on the _ fore horse, fell to the gr , und, and the wheel went over his head, which it cut and bruised in a dread• ful manner, is two places ; the skull was laid quite bare, to a great extent, by the wounds, and one of his ears was neatly tom off. He was taken to Mr. PRICI, the surgeon, in Blackfriars-road, who dressed his wounds, and reported him to be in a fair way of recovery. Much of the time of the Magistrates of Carmar then was occupied, nn Tuesday, in the e7aminaticn of persons detefted in the diabolical ertempt to extort money from Mr Davie Wynn, of Buley, a Minister of the Gospel. A girl of the town, of most infamous eharater, had employed persons to write, and others to deliver, letters, to Mr. Davits. saying she was pregnant by him, and therein threat ening to expose him before his congregation. if he did not conform with her request, by giving her a meeting. This charge appears to be totally false and groundless, and the innocence of Mr. Davats /I.c hen hilly established. Sir of the delir. , l lents FOREIGN INTI,LLIGENCE. COTTENSUR.3II MAIL. ST. YEYERSaCRGN, 1t11.15% 011 the oth of nis month, the Russian army gain ed a splendid victory over the Fie:ich at Preussisch Eylau. The French army. on this occasion. con sisted of more than 1.2:1,000 men ; the Russian, of General Bennigsen's division, and of that which was formerly commanded by General Bushowden. The battle began on the 7th of February, at three o'clock in the afternoon, and continued till sir o'clock on the evening of the Sth. Bonaparte renewed the attack eight different times, and was as often repulsed. According to General Bcnnigsen's letter to the Emperor, dated the nth of February, the Russians have lost in this battle more than 6,000 men, the French above 11,000, among whom are reckoned ,000 who were made prisoners; besides this, the Russians have taken 14 stand of colours. In another account it is said, that a great part of the French army, chiefly chosen troops, were fairly on down by the Russians ; and that on the Russian side four Generals were killed. I: is remarked, that in case Bonaparte's design had succeeded, it would have been conclusive of the campaign. He knew that General Bennigsen's division was stationed at Mohrungen, and General Essen's at Wisocke-Mase wick, and as they were consequently at a great dis tance from each other, he threw himself with his whole force between these two divisions, in a right line with Koningsburg, in order to separate them, or cut them off from each other, and fall with more effea upon the weaker part ; but the success of this plin was prevented by Gen. Bennigsen's operations and rapid movements. Towards the crmelusion of the battle, there was a want of cartridges on Loth sides and, therefore. recourse was had to the bayonet, which caused great carnage.—(Storkleolni Pm.) TURTItti ILITRACTS FROM THE PRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS. - CONSTANTINOPLZ, JAN. 15. About the end of the last month, the three Com manders of the regular troops from Asia, which were employed against the Servians in the late campaign, arrived in ibis capital. They were immediately summoned before the Divan, where they wete required to give a circumstantial ac count of the events of the campaign, and to de. fend their condutl against certain errors which were laid to their charge. After a mature deliberation, the Divan decided they were not so blame. The first of these commanders, Ibrahim, the Vizier of Scutari, returned to that place on the 4th of Janu ary. The other two, Selif and Ejub, are to com mand in the army assembled near Adrianople. The corps of troops whch was still in Bulgaria, is to join this army. The mast alive and vigorous pre parations are making throughout the whole of the Ottoman Empire. All the Paellas have repeated orders to hasten the arrival of the troops which they are required to raise, and the young Mussulmen enter with zeal into the corps which are forming in this capital. TRONTIERS Of RUSSIA, Fes. 15. Of the battle, wl,ich took place on the other side of the Danube, we has e learned some farther par ticulars. In the beginning of January, a corps of Ottoman troops, which had come from Bucharest, repassed the Danube, and took a position near Si listria, where it was tohave been reinforced by a num ber of smaller corps advancing from every side. At the same time, a part of Paswan Oglon's troops ad vanced from Widdin, and posted themselves at Smers dam. It was between these corps, and the adva red guard of General Miboradowich that the atlion was fought, the result of which has already been mentioned, and the gaining of which cost the Rus sians so many men. Several reinforcements have within a short time joined Paswan Oglou ; and it is hoped that lie will be able to stop the pro. gress of the Russians, until the troops collated near Adrianople be ready to take the field. A considerable corps is also to be formed for the pupose of over-awing the Montenegrins and Al banians, and, if circumstances should require it, to a& in concert with the French troops in Dal. matia. It now appears, that the Porte places particular confidence in Paswan Oglou, in every thing that relates to the defence of the interests and faith common to all Ottomans. We learn that lie is appointed commander over all the troops from Bulgaria and Bosnia, and all the Bashaws of those provinces are placed under his orders. Kwzanxi ' Ali is at present with his Kersales at Widdin, where Paswan has given him the command of a corps of 2000 men. Betwixt the 10th and the 20th of Ja i nuary some more corps of Russian troops arrived at Bucharest, and proceeded on their march to the Dauube. _ _ ________ 7 RUST, LEI. 12. Th-re are at present in our roads, some English and Russian ships of the line, and frigates, which occasionally cast anchor, or cruise together. These ships are not permitted to enter our harbour, as Cattaro has not yet been restored to the Austrian troops, in order to be given up to the French.— Whenever therefore the men of war approach 'f riest, the garrison is ordered under arms, and the gunners appear on the batteries of the harbour, with lighted matches in their hands, in order to be ready to oppose the slightest attempt at landing. Meanwhile a Convention, it is said, was signed en the 9th, between our Governor and the English Ad miral, in which it is stipulated, that Triest shall not at present be considered as a blockaded port. We have still, however, reason to be alarmed, since cur harbour continues completely shut up by the En glish and Russian squadron. An erteferre has been sent to Vienna on this subjed.

The Grand Duke of Wortzburga who had in tended to repair to Vienna for a iew months, has just altered his intention, at least for ,the present. vie has ordered a new levy of troops its his states, to reinforce his contingent, which is already at the rides of this country, k deferred until the definitive fixation of the fate of Germany. The las letters from Bohemia inform us, that part of the Austrian troops, which are still in that cs.nntry, are on the point of quitting it, to repair to Hungary, and upon the &onus's% of Turkey.

It is added, that art army of 140,000 men is already in Bulgaria ; and that Paswan Ogluu, in endeavouring to stop the progress of a Russian division, had rapt with a repulse. fhe Russians are recruiting with great diligence, through. out the Turkish provinces; and obtain many men among the Montenegrins and Albanians. 111014 THE EANES Of THE MAINZ, ELI. 24. Hitherto we have had no certain accounts of the lot ther movements of the Russian troops in Turkey. In some newspapers, it is, however, stated, that an engagement has taken place between them and a Turkish corps of 10,000 men, in the environs of Georgia, on the road toward. Widdin : the Turks are said to have been worsred, but at the expense of 3,000 Russians killed. the Russian fleet, which has appeared in the Black Sea; is supposed to have approached the mouth of the Danube. Considerable numbers of troops have lately passed through Magdeburg, on their way to the Grand Army. Among others, the 15th regiment of Horse Yagera from Hanover, and a regiment of Italian . infantry. ♦t ENNA~ FCB. 14. The last letters fromTriest state, that since the de claration of war by the Porte against Russia, the na vigation of the Adriatic Sea has become mach mole free, the Russian and English ships baying quitted those coasts, and sailed towards the Dardandlos. Several neutral vessels, with the produBions of the Levant, have already arrived at Triest. FEB. 19. A Turkish corps is said to have passed the Da nube, and advanced as far Casimiz, where an a4lion took place between the lurks and Ru,siAns, the re sult of which is not known. Czetuiz was pillaged and fired on that occasion. The operations of the Russians proceed very slowly, which is attributed to the impression which the energy and spirit of the Porte have made on the Russians, who eaptaed, that the 'lurks would yield without combat, and renew their former treaty of alliance ; and also to the retrograde move ment of the corps of General Essen, who, at the moment he was marching from Padelia to reinforce General Michelson, received orders to join General Bennigsen. It is reported that a Russian squadron has made its appearance in the Black Sea, which has taken up its station at the mouth of the Danutie. The Porte on her side has also sent a squadron to defend the entrance of the C.:Annel. several companies of cannoneers have marz.bed to the Dardanelles, with large quantities of ammunition. TES. 21.. The Turkish Envoy to the Court of France, Emin Effendi, is arrived here; and will, from hence, pur sue his rout to the French headquarters. We hear that this is his first diplomatic mission. New changes of situation have again taken place in our armies in Bohemia, Silesia, as.' Interior Aus tria, which, as well as that in Hungary, are perfeialy accoutred for battle, and ready to march at a mo ment's notice ; but at present we can discover no indications of an immediate war ; nor do we hen of any thing of an extraordinary recruiting, or form ing of magazines. A dispute hits arisen between Baron von Wrede, Lieutenant General in the Bavarian service, and a certain Chargr-tr.ifarres residing at our Court; which will probably terminate in a duel. COPENHAGIIN, lii. 17. A merchant of this place, who sent some goods to the Cape, which he knew to be Dutch property, but made a false declaration upon oath, has been fined in a consideraille sum by the Supreme Court of Justice, and adjudged to have foil-. .21 his free dom of the city, and the right of ,•.spatchits in future any merchant ship. 4eLts, rem. 14. Amantea, the last asylum fur the brigands that were disembae ked by the English, fell into the hands of the stench on the sth inst. Gen. P.-re, Commandant of Calabria, concluded this oper alion. Letters from Capitanate announce that the English lately appeared before fremiti. They pretenthd to be in quest of a place of debarkation, but the dis positions they perceived making upon the coast, and the agitation of the sea, disgusted them with the pro jed, and on the following day they stood out to seas N111146L. ►tta B. Not only their Majesties the King and Queen, but the whole Court, are still here. We know nuthirg of the operations of the Prussian army that lately advanced into Eastern Prussia ; but we are assured that Prince Bagratbion at present commands the vanguard of the Russians. ZURICH, /11._10. The delay of the Helvetic Gowernment to furnish the men who are to fin m the Swiss regiments for the French service, the Offi,ers of which the Emperor had begun to nominate, has given rise to some dis agreeable communications, in which His Majesty has expressed his dissatistadiun upon this sulijed to the Chief Magistrate, and to the Cantonal Regen cies of Helvetia. The complaints of His Imperial Majesty were conveyed in a circular letter, addressed by General Vial, his Envoy, dated Jan. 15, as fol lows : " I have received, on the part of His Majesty the Emperor of the French and King of Italy, positive orders to declaie to the Landamman, and to the Cantonal Regencies, that Itlii Majesty, in nominating three months ago, the Officers of the Soni regiment, Nu. flattered himself that the Swiss, following the example of their ancrotora, would attach theno vises is the new service with eagerness and zeal ; Wit His Ma jesty's holes not being testa d ; this has arisen fur went of proper Mega., from illusions, or disaffection, which have im peded the new levies, surmised them hitherto to be neglected. His Majesty knows the Set.,, and is convinced that five sixths of them wish to enter into the server of France; and, that consequently, difficulties, and pmbably premeditated obstaelt may nave impeded the nieces of the formation of the regi meant, by which it was His Majesty's intemion to render toe connection between France and Switzerland still more intimate, to the advantage of the latter In this state of etas, the Um dersigni Envoy is charged to declare, that if the 16,000 men, who, acconling to the Convention, should form the regiments demanded, are not raised by the first of May, Switzerland will be considered as hating renounced the advantages of the Con . sentient ; and that FfllliCt, though with filo:, will look upon 7 r: ICI VAL INTELLIGENCE.
