We have had Prince William with us; he arrived at Falmouth laft Friday, in the Hebe frigate, commanded by Cum modore Gower, fince which he has been pleafantly entertained at Lord Falmouth's, at Tregothnan.

Lewes, Sept 19. Laft Monday, one Motherhill, a journeyman taylor, and native of Ber wick upon-Tweed, was committed to Horsham gaol by J. Fuller, Efq; of this town, being charged before him on oath with having committed, between the hours of eleven the preceding night, and five the next morning, the most barbarous and unparalleled acts of violence on the perfon of Mils W, a young Lady at Brighthelmftone. It appeared on the examination of this execrable monfter, that he had, by an artful and infidious pretence, inveigied the unfortunate young lady from the door of her father in North-street (where she had been juft fet down on her return from the Rooms, by Lady H's carriage) into the church-yard, and there forced and abufed her in a manner too flocking to relate: but not content with this, he dragged her from thence to the fea-fide, fuppofed with an intention to drown her; but not having yet fatisfied his diabolical paffion, and being earnettly implored by the trembling victim to forbear throwing her into the water, the ruffian did defift from fuch an attempt, and inftead of committing her to the deep, forced her into a bathing-machine, to renew his brutal violence; and there kept her in a state of horrid expectati on till five in the morning, when, it being day light, he suffered her to go home; and what is' very extraordinary, followed her a little distance almoft the whole of the way; but at length finding himself fufpected by a person who had been in fearch of the lady, he attempted to make his efcape through a dark passage; but it being no thoroughfare, his flight was topped, when he was immediately fecured, and foon afterwards committed as above, to the entire fatiffaction of the whole town, who were fo in cenfed against the raical, that they certainly would have demolished him, had he flipt from the hands of juftice. The credulity of the above unfortunate young lady is not at all wonderful, when it is known, that the last ten years of her life were spent in French monaftery. The above villain robbed her alfo of one of her bracelets, which has been found upon him ince his confinement. A company of merchants have fitted out two fhips, called the King George, and the Queen Charlotte, commanded by two favourite officers of the lamented Cook, on a commercial expedition to the North Weft coaft of America, the iflands of Japan, Kurile, the coaft of Corea and China, down to Canton, from whence they are to be freighted home by the Eaft India Company. The North Weft Continent difcovered by Captain Cook, is upwards of 1600 miles extent of coaft; the bays, founds, harbours, and rivers, as noble as any in the world, and abound with that most valuable of all land or marine animals, the fea otter; the fkins of which the natives wear for clothing, the fur of which is the molt beautiful and rich of any ever met with, and is held in the highest eflimation by the Japanese, the Chinele, and at all the Courts of Ala. This valuable branch of commerce hath hitherto been totally engroiled by the Ruffians, who collect them on the islands near the Kamfchatkan fhores, and after carrying them from 3 to 4000 miles by their caravans, difpofe of them to the Chinese. at the immenfe profit of 2000l. per cent. Capt. Cook speaks of the natives as a people of the utmost hospitality, who parted with him with the greatest regret, and preffed him to return a gain to their coaft. Exclufive of the fea otter, the North Welt coaft abounds with all kinds of furs that are met with by the Canadian and Hudfon bay traders; with copper, iron, whale. bone, and it is very probable, from the mountainous and volcanic appearance of fome parts of the country, gold and fiver. There is every probability that the prefent enterprize will moft amply reward the adventurers, and open a new fource of commercial wealth of the first confequence to this nation. LONDON, September 6. In a few days will be shipped on board an Ordnance ftore-veffel in the river, bound for Gibraltar, a large model of an antient Catapult, that has lately been executed by an eminent engine maker, according to directions given by Lieut.
