Aaron Flock, a constabig ed. St. George's, Bristol ,
iworn.—On the 21st of July I was fetched by the prisoh-
ei wife about 12 o'cloat et night, she said that her has-.
and had been with another Woman, and bad been rob-
. She pointed 'out the prosecutor's houses—l went
there And foond the prisoner, his two sons, mud the pros,-
utor-1 seer an iron bir lying on the floor—l wps in the.
turnpike toad and saw the wife of the prosecutor, on the
t'Dof, I Called to her to come down—she asked mt if I was
an officer, t said that I was, and she answered that she
woold come down, for the was afraid before to come down,
lest she should be murdered. The prisoner told me that
be had been drinking and smoking in the prosecutor's,
house, bad become drowsy, and their had robbed him.—
As Soon as the wife of the prosectitoe came front the roe,
I *int up stairs, and she and the prisoner's sons' wive,.
;siert there. I searched the place, and Mrs. Poulton said,.
there is a five pound note In the wiiidow"--4he took it
off the window beat, and gave it to me. I do sot think
ski could have congealed the note about her person, al
alga less in her at ilk sad bed-gown. I do nqt know if she
tad " there Ittiapoinlid noted* the window," before or
after the toot tip Skit note. This is the five pound note
(produced) that was given to use. It is a Taunton nobs—
f-hald it was a bad note, for the bank had broke, and the
note had been cancelled. The prisoner told me he did
not pass the note, and he said that be had been robbed of
stone promissory notes, two notes of 'hand, and bills. In
my search I found no such thing. Poulton told me soon
after my arrival, "that be had caught the prisoner in bed
with his wife." I kept them is custody, and took them
before the magistrate next day, at three o'clock.
Cross-examined—Mrs. Poulton had a bed gown on. Her
neck, legs, and arms, were:not covered. She was a long
time in that dress in my presence. I searched the bed—
the Harrises, or some one else, bad been there before saltness.
The pocket book had been found before I came there—this
was the property Harris said he had been robbed of—l found
it was in the possession of Edw. Harris, the prig meet son
••.1.1 went a ith the son, and examined its contents—the re
'were promissory notes and bills in it—some of the notes
Harris said he had lost were not found. Harris is a man of,
considerable property. Several houses are sUnate near
Poelton's ; there are seven or eight houses within a hun-
dred yards. There is a pehlic road In each aide the bonse;
both are much frequented. PonltOn's house is nearly oppo-
Site Robins's, which in not more than 35 feet distant from, it.
'Harris's house is not a hundred yards from Poulton's. A.
ram named Gibbs assisted me to guard the Poultons all
sight. If there was a loud screaming in l'oulton's house it
must bare been beard by the neighbours, as they all:kiave:
families, if they were.atiaka. -Gibbs told me he was as a'.os
at the time. The charge he the Mae istrre against the
Poulton+ was for stealing the pocket book ; an I, after that
was heard and disposed of, +Welton charged Harris kith a
rape. Harris was hail to bail on the charge of aitempting
to commit a rape, and surrendered one day before the
assists.

Thomas Williams Poulton sworo—l am the husband m
'tbe last witness. On the 21st July I left borne at 6 o'clock
is the evening, Intending to go to Bath. I stopped on the
way, talking about a horse, arid about purchasing a cart,
and it grew-late ; I went into a public house and had some
beer, and resolved to return home; it was eleven o'clock
when i reached home, it was a moon-light night. I saw
Harris standing in his shop, as I was going towards Bath,
with his son Thomas. When 1 got home I toned the door
net 'fast. 1 heard my wife and child crying as fest as
they could. I kicked the staple off the door with my toe
en the floor. I made my Way up stairs as fast as possible.'
found thew man en the bed watt my wife, and all the'
clothes kicked off. He left the bed. dashed me to theotbet
side of the room, and took his clothes off. I followed him
him down stairs, and be told use be would ruin me, that he
bad ruined hundreds, and my wife was not the first wo-
man be bad known in that house. The prisoner picked up
his clothes on the stairs, and made to the dons. On going
eta of the house he said, " I have left a 51. note up stairs,
and 1 will give you 2/. more if you will say no more about
it." I told him, " that be should meet toe before a magi*.
trate to-morrow"—be then went away sad said, " d—n
thee. do for thee"—on his going away, I drove the
staple into the door. I lighted a candle, and then the pri-

the sons said " you have robbed my father, deliver up the
money." I said " 1 bays no money, and you are welcome
to search." They continued to beat me. I said. " before
you search you must get an officer." The prisoner's wife
came in while they were beating me, and she said u murder

more powerful than the accused, should, after taking thy,

WWI very strange, he said, that the charge of attempted
rape was only preferred, and that not till nest day. It was
also strange that if Mrs. Poulton did call oat and scream,

sence of this charge was violence, and the jury would say,
if they were satisfied that the prisoner did by force and
violence. and against the will of Mrs. Poulton, commit the
offence laid in the indictment.
Verdict—Not Guilty.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
The Paris papers of Wednesday contain nothing new re-
specting Ballasteros, or Cadiz.
The Journal des Debate gives the following extract
from the Madrid Gazette of the 7th :—" Lieutenant Gene-
ral Boar& writes that the French troops before Corunna
are only waiting for heavy artillery to commence the bom-
bardment. They are in position before the town. Hitherto
the garrison has made no sortie. A French frigate and se-
veral other vessels of war cruise off Corunna, and blockade
it by sea."
The same paper contains the following letter respecting
a reported insurrection at Barbadoes:—
" Port Royal (Martinique), June 27, 1823.
ss Advises which appeared to be certain having been re-
ceived in this Colony that an insurrection had broken out
at Barhadoes, Count Donzelot. our Governor, and Rear-Ad.
miral bleynard de !Purge, Commander on the station,
immediately dispatched the ffrigate Thetis. commanded by
Baron de Bougainville, to that island. That frigate re.
turned yesterday. Fortunately the reports which had been
circulated were totally unfounded; but Lieut.-General Ward,
Commander in Chief of the troops of his Britannic Majesty
in the English Leeward and Windward Islands, and Gower-
nor of Barbados., was not the less sensible of the step taken
by General Donzel.lt, and Admiral De la Farge."
The Vienna Gazette of the 2d announces that Baron
Francis Binder de Kriegelstein, Austrian Plenipotentiary
at the Court of Sardiuia, is appointed Minister to Portugal
on "an extraordicary minion."
'('Ha HESSIAN PLOT.—FRANNFONT, AUGUST 3.—Ac.
counts from Cassel say, that the Elector of Hesse,on his re-
mora to his capital, ordered 111. Van Manger, Director-gene-
ral of the Police, to use all diligence to discover the au,
thors of a conspiracy supposed to be formed against this
Prince. The only proofs of such an infernal plot seem to
he hitherto some anonymous letters which were written to
him when Le was at Numdorff with the Countess of RA-
chenbach, by whom he has five children. These letters are
fall of the most dreadful menace., and predict to the Prince
and the Countess, that they will not live long if they do not
change their conduct.
CASSZL, JULY 31.—The plot against the Elector seems to
be contained in anonymous threats in a le ter sent from
Cassel to Numdorff. it is even affirmed that the writer is

BRAZIL.
A Brazil mail arrived yesterday, bringing 'esters from
Bahia of the 23d ofJone, at which time there was every
prospect of an immediate abandonment of the place by the
Portuguese troops. Lima, the Brazilian General before
Bahia, bad issued a proclamation, assuring protection to
the inhabitants in the event of the departure of the Portu-
guese ; in consequence of which, a deputation of the prin-
cipal citizens bad waited en him to form arrangements for
the effectual security of persons and property on this occa-
sion. This conference had been permitted by Madeira,
the Portuguese Genets), who bad issued passports to ena-
ble them to pus the lines, bat who declared at the more
time, that neither be nor his troys would enter into soy
convention with the Brazilians: tue inhabitants of Bahia
must make the best Ur Ma they were able for their own
safety. The 25th had hoes Axed on as the period for the
embarkation of the Portuguese troops, though it- was 'ex-
pected that all the arrangements would not be completed
so early: the greater part of the stock of previsions, how-
ever, bad been placed on board the transports. Madeira's
chief apprehension seems to leave been how to elude, when
on the voyage to Portugal, our enterprising eosontryman,
Lord Cochrane, who was at sea with part of the sleadeon
equipped at Rio, and who had determined, if possible, at
whatever risk, to make finite of the whip' of war. A re-
port was current, that be bad• been applied to to permit an
unmolested passage, bat which he was only willing to allow
as regarded the trauports. Those his Lordship would 'of-
fer to pass, bet his fleet had 'been equipped for the purpose
of capturing the ships of war, and they must depend on their
own exertions for safety.
Lord Cochrane had ant been heard of fora few day pre-
vious to the sailing of She packet. Me made, about the

proaching entry of the Brazilian troops. Sir Thomas
