ROYAL EXCURSION, Scci

EFRotst A CORRB.SPONI3BNTI
PORTstsloGTu, AUG. I3.—Yesterday the iloyal.
Yacht, with the Standard of England at her Main-,
top-gallant,-mast head, mide her appearance off
Ryde, to witness the Regatta, when she was sa-
luted, as before, by the different ships of war at
Spithead. Since her &parture Tuesday last,
she has been up the Sondranniton ktrwer,
has revisited Cowes; to her moorings off which
latter place she retu►r'ned in 'the evening'.' It be-
ing the anniversary ni the Pat Sices Natal D iv, the
morning was ushered in with the' ringing of bells,
NMI other demonstrations of joy. A grand din-
ner was given by tl►e Port Admiral% which at
night was succeeded' by a Dress Ball at the
Gun Room. The town was gAnerally 14:hted
up, and the George Inn made a most brilliant
display. The cupola and lantern of the church
teas-illuminated, which had an effect at once splen.
.did and novel. By the last Gazette it appears that
Sir George Campbell has receivetra step of pro-
motion, in consequence of which the IVhite Flag
has superseded the Blue, although the Red is
hoisted, in compliment to the Regent, the mo-
ment his Flotilla heaves in sight. About noon
this day the little Fleet was seen again off Rhyde,
accompanying a sailingnatch that. had scat ted
from Cowes ; aftei. whiclr-,the Prince, it is ru-
moured, gives a dinner on frila.rd the yacht to the
Officers ot his Squadron. His Royal Highness, it
is added, has derived such wonderful benefit from
his cruise, and. is so much delighted with the
scenery, as to I►ave formed the resolution of con-
tinuing afloat in this neighbourhood till the 211th
inst. The Prince Regent, it seems, has been “f -
flicted for some tine past with ale oppression at
the chest, for which he haul been recommended a
blister, which complaint at length has yielded to
the salubrity of the tir3 breezes, and totally left
him. Another Grand Ball is advertised for Thurs-
day next at the Bathing Rooms. The frequent
interchange of firing between the batteries and
the shipping resembles a bombardment.

Himm9ess was highly gratified; after which she,
a4i. the squadron ‘vhicit attendi his Royal High-

COWES, AUG. I2.—Yesterday the Royal Yacht
got under weigh, at feu O'clock A. M. and stood
to. the Needles, returning, after a delightful
sail-of six hours, to her anchorage, at Cowes
Roadstead. At five the Prince Regent got into
his barge, accompanied by Prince listerliazy, and
landed at East Cowes. where his Royal. Highoess
was received by his Excellency Lord Fit zharris,
the Governor, and the principal inhabitants, with
the loudest demonstrations of jisq. He then. ho-
noured Mr. Nash, the Royal Architect, with
visit at East Cowes Castle, and abur partaking of
an elegant repast, returned to sleep on board his,
yacht.
This day the Prince,'- in his yacht, with the
Hyperion frigate,, Camelion awl Hind sloops of
war, and, about twenty yachts of the Club, and
a vast flotilla of all sizes, are gone for a sail to the
Eastward, and to view the Rvdeßoat-race.. To-
morrow the whole assemble near Cowes, to wit-
ness a sailing match, between all the pilot ves-
sels round the buoys of the Brambles, tonil that of
the Royal George, at Spithead. His Royal
Highness's delight in yacht sailing is inexpressi-
ble, and his health is highly benefited by this plea-
surable and rational pursuit.
• The Royal Yacht's rendezvous is Cowes Road-
stead, the head-quarters of the yachts of 'the
.Clubs, and repot t says, front the great enjoyment
left by the Prince Regent, since his arrival within
thejsle of Wight, hii Royal Highness's stay will
be protracted for some time beyond the period
first mentioned. The town of East and Went
Cowes., and ships in the harbour, have been illu-
minated for t wo nightS successively, and illuminate
again to-night.,

Yesterday evening, in' honour of the Natal
Day of the PRINCW IteGaNT, Vauxhall-Gardens
had to boast of an overflow of Company, who
appeared to enjoy this superb and brilliant festi-
val, which was given in a style truly splendid.
Of Madame Saqui it may be said, that her ascent
and (!escent was truly surprising, for at the time
of her performance taking place in the midst of a
thick shower of rain, her wonderful powers
were exhibited to the greatest advantage, ap-
plause and effect, between the two elements, Fire
and Water.
