ATTEiIPT TO POISON A FAMILY.—We stated in
our last that an attempt of this kind had been made,
by mixing arsenic in a pie which was served up tor
dinner. We are now enabled to state thitthe tamily
was that of Mr. Turner, law stationer of Chancery-
lane. Mrs. T. who is in the seventh month of her
pregnancy, is the principal sufferer, but by the speedy
application of judicious antidotes, she, :is well As the
rest of the family, will, it is hoped, recover. Eliza-
beth Fenning, the cook, is in custody, and her exami-
nation, which will take place in a few days, will, it
is hoped, develope the mystery which still pervades
this horrid transaction.

PORTUGUESE SLAVE TRADE....—Extract from the Rio
Janeiro Gantt of the Ist of January last :
1, RIO. JAVEIRO, Dec. 31, 1814.
is We publish the following by official order :
Pedro Jose Vianna, master of the brig Boa Uniao,
with a cair of slaves frost% Cabinda to this port,
having arrived at this casktal, has made affidavit to
the following fact :—ln 3 deg. 40 min. of south lat.
and 35 deg. 12 min. of east Ipng. from Rio Janeiro,
he met with two English 4i-igates, the. Niger and
Laurel; which hoisted American colours, and fired a
shot, always retaining American colours ; the Com-
mander of the Niger, Peter Rainier, then ordered the
said brig to be visited, and captured it, putting on
board her a Lieutenant, two marines, and 10 sea-
men, ordering them to prosecute their voyage for
Sierra Leone. Two days after, the Portuguese
master took the resolution of attacking those put on
board the prize, in order to save the property com•
milted to his charge, and he in fact succeeded in sub.
duing them. The criminal proceeding of the above
Commandant has induced his Excellency the English
Minister, and his Excellency Admiral Dixon, to de-
clare to his Royal Highness their sentiments of this
scandalous act ; and the said Admiral declares, that
the only circumstance which mitigates his regret, is,
that the above Commandant does not belong to the
squadron under his orders. His Royal Highness,
with his usual magnanimity, has ordered the crew
made prisoners to be immediately delivered up, which
his Britannic Majesty's Envoy has acknowledged in
a letter expressive of thanks for the generosity of the
act, and of the attention which it deserves from the
Prince Regent of the United Kingdom ; at the same
time declaring the humane and attentive treatment
which the above seamen received from the master of
the brig, after they were subdued."
