lours, off the Western Islands. He brought the prize

ness the PRINCE REGesrr's Letter to the Marquis of

Victory which the gall ,nt Marquis li .s recently I
achieved. It acknowledges, in very f :cible lan.'
guage, how deeply both his Royal Highness and tae
1 country are indebted for his m my ant most impoi cant
services, and laments the inability of both to requite
them by any thing like an adequilte rev ard. In re.
turn for the baton of a Marshal of France, which I is 1
Lordship has sent to him, his Royal Highness sends,
Lord W. the baton of a Marshal of England, wh.ch
is all that is in his power. Th s his Royal Highness
accompanies with his most devout prayers, that thi
Noble Marquis may continue in t -e unint. rrupted
enjoyment of health and prosperity, and that he mayi
still reap a richer harvest of laurels, urder the shade;
of which his Royal Highness hopes he may long enjoyl
that glory which the gallant Marquis has so nobty
acquired for himself, and which be has so largely shed
on the arms and the military character of the nati,n.,
The letter concludes with the most marked expressions:
of personal friendship and esteem. ,

red from her body, which .was stabbed in diffeient:
parts, and the whole of her person exh,bited a most,
frightful appearance. In the shade, or 1, ,dge, as it i
called, at the mouth of the pit, a considei,:b:a quail.'
thy of bliaod, soma hair, a comb, and other articlesie
belonging to the deceased, were found, which plainly
shewed that the unfortunate woman, wh i had I,ee 1:
missing since ten o'clock the preceding es; n;tig, had
I made considerable resistance before she st as subdued.

Woodsess, to whom Agnes Watson was f ,r advan
