Dec., San. 3.—Arrived the William, HAN..
%YELL, from 'Amsterdam, bound to Philadelphia,
and remains in the Downs with bia Majesty's Ships,
as per last.

A Vessel upon new and curious construction ha&
been 'projected ,by. Lord STANIIOPE, and will in a
few days undergo, the inspection of several Gentle-
Men skilled in naval architecture. It some time
since suggested itself to his Lordship's intelligent
mind, that the damage resulting from a ship's ?els-
' sing stays, as it is termed, might be obviated, and,
Sit tact, that vessels might be navigated altogether
without rudders affixed to the sterns, and inra bet-
ter .way than they are at present. His Lordshi
about the investigation, and has produced a VeSSel..
that will at all times answer the helm, and while
there is a plank standing will be perfectly *manage-
able at sea. It is by a sort of lee-board affixed Ott
each side the ship's waist, which his Lordship terms
tins, and which are so managed as' to give the re-,
qnired direalon. The vessel is- also built without a
keel, lois' Lordship being of opinion that that part of
ship prevents its velocity through the water, from
the increased resistance it produces. There are many
other alterations, but the principal arethose of taking
away the rudder and keel, hitherto considered, the
.most essential requisites in the construction of welt-
eels. An experiment upon this new vessel will be
made in the Serpentine River in a vary few days.
• It has been stated, in accounts brought frOm the
Mediterranean, that the crew of the American shin
Eliza Aim mutinied against the Captain. They first
tied his mate to a gun on the quarter-deck, and used
_him most cruelly.• They pricked him with the cook's
tormentors, beat him over the ribs with staves, in a
inoit shocking manner, and left him for dead. They
also treated the supercargo in the Most cruel man-
ner. They then attacked the master, whom they
struck ardreadful blow. His wife, with an infant
in
~her arms, followed him ), heiell back, and she
caught himi crying, You have murdered my hus-
.band The'ruffians aniwered, 'We will de for
you, by and bye.' The wife gave ber husband soma
liquor to drink, and he somewhat recovered from
theostunning'blow he received. When he recovered
a little more be sallied forth with pistols. and. Sabre
to disarm the villains. The mate .and supercargo
thad,by this time recovered sufficiently to aid, him, to
his courageous attempt. They knew they :had'-to
Contend with cowards at heart, and, by stratagem
• and deteitnined bravery, they succeeded in driving
the mutineers forward, after wounding them, except
the two ringleaders.—The Niger Frigate, Capt. Hit.-
LYsit, , after fell' in with the ship off
Cadiz, in a gale of wind, boarded her, and then took
the ringleaders out. The master was then lying
dtgerouitly„ill.. The Niger than sent an Officer and
four men on. board to navigate her to Gibraltai,,
wliere the -mutineers will be brought ro trial. The
two ringleaders are. English born ; their names are,
John Cross, alias Daniel drosswright, and Robert
Warrington, , The former has since given himself up
as a deserter from his ~Majesty's Ship Waoier.—
The Ship had a great. many dollars on board, With.
