ATROClOUS OUTRAGE.

One of those acts of brutal violence, which the
pen Of the journalist almost shrnks from the task OF
recording, was perpetraed on Saturday evening last,
nearGodtrey's gate half mile beyond Fort Barbour
on the Princess Ann road, the victim OF which was
la poor but decent female, the wife OF MIR RIGGS,
who keeps small grocery in the vicinity OF Fort
Barbour, and the perpetrator negro fellow belong
ing to Mr.. William Langley, Of Norfolk county. 1t
was at an early hour Of the evening that Mrs. Riggs
was passing along the road, when tall stout negro
man stepped before her from the side of the road,
and demanded her money. In vain she assured him
she had none, and mpored him to let her pass.
The rufian seized and torcby dragged her into the
woods, where he proceeded to the preparation OF
lcrime too horrible tor us to name-The untortu-
nate struggled in the monsters grasp until
completed exhausted and nearly beret OF conscl-
BUSINESS, she fell fna prey to his brutal designs.
He then seized her by the hair and bending her
head back until she nearly sufocated, exclaimed
that he determined she should not have It In her
powerto befray him; and white he thus held her with
one hand, was Dusy searching in his pockets with
the other for knife, when summoning all her re-
naming strength she broke from his hold and He'd.
Fortunately at that moment some person were pas
sing by in chair, who relieved the poor sufferer
from further apprehension, and kindly conveyed her
back to her dwelling, and delivered her to the care
Of her agonized family She remained for consid-
able time in state OF lnsensblllty from the aglta'
ton OF her spirits and the effect Of the bruises she had
received in the struggle; and when, on the next
day, she had become more composed, the ruffian,
who had in the mean time been apprehended, was
brought into her presence that she might identity
him, she was so orror-struck at the sight OF him
that she tainted away On her recovery she had no
hesitation in affirming that he was the author OF her
suffering, and he was accordingly committed 10 the
county Jail.

BY the packet ship Maria, Capt. Fowler, arrived
yesterday, from London, and so days from Cowes
london dates have been received to the 18th oil
April The first and most important enquiry re-
lated to Turkey and Russia, The declaration OF
had not been received, but little doubt was ex
pressed on the subject, tho letters from Odessa to
the 18th March, still spoke of peace as probable
but itappears by information received from the south
ern frontier OF Russia, dated March 10, ten days
after the Divan had unanimously rejected the Rus.
sian utmatum, that the Asiatc troops and the Jan
zaries had a brush together at Jassy by which a.
bout 500 men had been killed both sides and the
city burnt. This essay must have related to some
dispute about Russia.
| The Courier OF the 10th April says that he can
discover nothing in the numerous reports from diff
ferent quarters of a pacific nature" Indeed the
latest accounts from Constantnople are up to the
18th March, few days subsequent to the breaking
up of the Divan and scarcely time Tor the news to
have reached the head quarters OF the Russian army.
War, however, must ensue The Russians, after
many months OF negotiation, sent IN their ultima
um the Diyan, after long consultation, rejected IT,
as the following will show:
Feb. 2S. The Divan assembled extraordinarily the
prnci pal officers Of the Janissaries, and the Chiefs
the Ulemas were present when it was unanim-
ousy declared, that the demands of Russia were re.
lected. This sitting Of the Divan is too memorable,
and It's consequences too important for US to delay
moment to obtain information Of all that has trans
!pired
| What follows? Russia cannot, under any cir
cumstances, modify her demands, after this long de-
lay, and this ultimate rejection OF them. War en-
sues. The army marches towards Turkey before
The first Of April.
