handed to both Estamentos, and that it be instantly published
officially in the Gazette.

14. The reading of the speech being over, the Master of the
Cereinonies will say insa loud voice, Let the solemn act of
taking the oath begin ;" on hearing which the Peers of the
Realm, as well as Deputies of the Cortes, and all others pre-
sent, shall stand up ; and the Patriarch of the Indies, accom-
panied by the President of the Chamber of Peers and the In-
terim President of the Deputies, and followed by the Master
of the Ceremonies, shall place himself before the Throne, and
then making obeisance:to her Majesty, and kissing her Royal
hand, shall beg her Majesty's permission to read the form of
the oath.

15. The Master of the Ceremonies will hold in one hand
the book containing the said formula, which shall be conceived
in these terms In accordance with the immemorial custom
of these kingdoms and their fundamental laws, and especially
with that enacted by law 5, chap. 15; part 2, wilt thou swear
to preserve faithfully and loyally the' Crown of Spain, for thy
august daughter, our Queen, the Senora Donna Isabel 11.,
delivering up to her the reins of government, when the age
required by the laws, and by the last will of her august father,
shall be fulfilled ? Wilt thou preserve and cause to be pre-
served the fundamental. laws of the monarchy, in which are
founded the prerogative of the Crown and the rights of its
subjects ? Wilt thou swear to keep in view, in all cases, the
common good of these kingdoms, exercising with equity and
justice the supreme power during the minority of thy august
daughter, the Queen our mistress?" Her Majesty, standing
up and placing the right hand on the book of the Holy Evan-
gelists, which the Patriarch of the Indies will hold open before
her Majesty, will then say, "I do swear !" On her Majesty
having taken this solemn oath, the Patriarch of the Indies
shall reply to her—" If thy Majesty thus acts, may the King
of Kings recompense thee ; but if not, may he hold thee
accountable." _

17. Then the Patriarch will proceed to the place where the
S. S. Infante Don Francisco de Paula io. seated, and his Royal
Highness, standing up, will repeat' the oath in the following
terms :—" Wilt thou swear to observe fidelity and obedience
to the august Queen, our Mistress Donna Isabel IL, contri-
buting by all the means consequent on thy Royal birth and
Illustrious descent to the support of the Throne, the observ-
ance of the fundamental laws, and the prosperity and.glory of
these kingdoms ?" To which his Highness will be pleased to
reply, laying his hand on the Holy Gospel—" Yes, I swear."
And the Rev. Patriarch will immediately reply—" If thus
doth thy Royal Highness, may God reward thee; and if not,
may he demand it of thee."
18. Upon the conclusion of this act the Patriarch of the
Indies, the President of the Proceres, and the Interim Pre-
sident of the Procuradores will return to their seats, and

PLYMOUTH, JULY 23

LAUNCH OF THE PIQUE.
This splendid frigate, built on the plan of Captain Sy-
monds, was launched from his Majesty's Dock-yard at Dev°l,l"
port on Monday afternoon, a few minutes after five o'cloci•
The tide having set in to high-water-mark rather earlier then.
was expected, in consequence of the prevalence of strong
westerly winds, the launch took place half an hour sooner
than was generally calculated upon. There was an iinvuel
concourse of spectators in the dock-yard, on board the guar.
ship (San Josef), in the steamers, and in the craft riding
the stream abreast of the yard ; in the innumerable yachts am'
boats under sail, and on the surrounding eminences. The
wind blowing fresh at N. W., the scene was one of a
animated nature. It was some hours after the time of the
launch ere the bustle and moveVient had ceased. An excel;
lent view of the launch was obtained from the Obelisk
Cremill, bordering the grounds of Mount Edgecombe. It 13
difficult to describe the momentary excitement occasioned bt
seeing an inanimate body of such magnitude gently gliding?'
the stocks. On the present occasion, coming rather sudden9r
from her hausing, the object of attraction was hailed by a si-
multaneous burst of admiration. She took the water quite
easy, and in a few moments the stern warp was lightened, the
cradle loosened, and in a quarter of an hour she was seen
,
being transported to the wharf. It was never intended that
ships of this description should be described as to appearan.c..o
until equipped, and therefore such criticism is purposely ouin"
ted here.
The Pique (so called in compliment to Captain RI
C. 8., the Superintendent of the Dock-yard at this port, ap_
in remembrance of his former crack ship La Pique, takeD
from the French) is built on the plan of Captain Spoilt
with some slight deviation in the run of the bottom, and
improvement upon the ordinary round stern.
Her length of keel, is 145 feet ; width of beam, 46 feet 6.
inches ; extreme width, 48 feet 6 inches ; tons, 1,01;
pierced for 36 guns, and is to have lay 32-pounders. It
said that she is to be got ready for immediate service.
The gallant superintendent entertained his friends, and !bn
rank and fashion which flocked to the Arsenal on this occesi°o
,1
with a handsome DOeuner a la Fourchette, which was honourv"
by a numerous attendance. .

THE REGATTA.
Tuesday and Wednesday were complete gala days. Th
Westerly winds had prevented the arrival of yachts from t:f
Eastward ; there was nevertheless a tolerably fair show. Pt;
an early hour on Tuesday the Sound was covered with b°l;.
of every description. The attendance of company has nor!'
been surpassed for numbers or attraction, and the actual
sports, together with the ball, public dinners, the theatre, Oh
Mr. Gyngle's exhibition of fire-works, have gone off with one
eclat. The weather has been highly propitious ; the rains°
last week, and Sunday in particular, have tended to cool tne
atmosphere, and to the boisterous winds have succeeded gentle
zephyrs, just sufficient to waft the yachts over the course'
The Prize Cups offered a captivating list for competittt
They consist of the Kent Cup, presented by her Royal fiTir.,
ness the Duchess of Kent. The Subscription Cup. The the
toria Cup, the gift of her Royal Highness the Princess.
Challenge Cup, presented by the members of the Royal Princess..
Yacht Club ; and the Regatta Club Cup, presented by tilt
members of the late Royal Clarence Regatta Club. The It%
Cup was won on Tuesday by the Zadora, A. F. Wre.,..bw-
Esq., Southampton, beating the Liberty, R. H. Holt. -04;:
Exmouth, and the Transit, E. L. Kemp, Esq., E2`eteeil
p The Victoria Cup was won on the same day, by the i'ho
Rover, T. D. Burroughs, Esq., Southampton, beating t
Ann, John Hare, Esq., Plymouth, and the Sylph, i°sel3b
Swan, Esq., Plymouth. On Wednesday the Regatta 1-113,r
Cup was won by the Sylph, beating the Ann. The °t
Cups were not contested. There was a private match betwewo
three small class yachts, which was not determined. lbetli.e
were several rowing matches, amongst which that of
Saltash women, and a man in a punt, against four others in.s 1,
gig, afforded much merriment. The bells of the two P
churches rang merry peals during both days ; many
shops were closed, and everything had the appearance
day keeping—the inhabitants returning to the sports and 'he
tivities of the Regatta with the same zest which marked t
diversion in former years.
