VENICE.

Venice. it is said, has again proclaimed a republic.
The Dieta Italiana gives the following account of the
recent proceedings in Venice :
" Scarcely was the capitulation of Milan known, when the
people assembled, and the Royal Commission were obliged to
resign. Meantime Daniel Mannin rushed into the square,
and was received' with. loud acclamations. He began to
speak in the midst of the greatest of silence. He spoke of
the necessity of union in such solemn moments, recommended
them to think only of the liberty of their country, and
offered to resume the reins of Government, and to sacrifice
his life for the public safety. The people applauded him
with fury, proclaimed the Republic, and named him Presi-
dent. He accepted, immediately set to work, and Totnasso
and Tofani left for Paris, to solicit intervention. General
Passe has published a proclamation declaring a traitor to
his country whoever abandons his flag. Venice appears re-
animated; and if, as is assured, Admiral Albini will con-
tinue to cruise with his fleet in the Adriatic, this city may
perhaps be the anchor of Italy. On the 11th there was an
attack upon Malghera, which lasted four hours. The Ve-
netians defended themselves bravely, and after supporting
a hailstorm of balls and shells, forced the Austrians to
retire."

COWES, AUGUST 22.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.
PRINCE ALBERT'S Cur.—Monday set in with a storm of
wind and rain, yet the yachts took their stations; but there
was such a difficulty to hear or see what was doing on the
shore, that three of them—the Brilliant, 392 tons, the
Wyvern, 205 tons, and the Enchantress, 213 tons, started
before the signal gun was fired, leaving the Flirt pitching at
her post.
followed by the other two to the Nab, in rounding which the
The Brilliant flew away before the gale, closely
Wyvern's mainmast went over the stern. One of the seamen,
fearing the mast would fall on him, made a desperate leap
overboard, and after some difficulty was saved, the En-
chantress bearing up to assist in towing the wreck. The
Brilliant beat down, and of course came in first. There never
could have been a finer breeze for this noble yacht; she
might havo defied the fleet. It is said that the Capricorn
missed stays twice. The Cup is to be sailed for again on
Wednesday.
Her Majesty and the Royal Family came over in the Fairy
in the afternoon. The weather was then line, but it still
blew hard, with a heavy sea out, but the yacht was moored
in still water close to the parade. There were some hundreds
of fashionables on shore, and afloat there were some very ex-
cellent rowing matches. In the first match the boats came
in so close together that there was great doubt which was the
winner.
The blacks were strong, powerful men, but unfortunately
the bow man broke his oar.
The duck hunts were a sell, and no prizes ought to have
been given.
Her Majesty seemed highly delighted, as was Prince Al-
bert and the Royal children, and rewarded the different win-
ners, particularly Julius Caesar and the other dark ones
belonging to the American ship Ondine.
The display of tire-works followed, but the Flirt alone was
brilliant afloat. Heretofore, when the members of the squa-
dron pulled together, all blazed off on such a night, now the
Vice-Commodore shines forth alone!
