LAUNCHING OF THE GRAMPUS.

On Saturday morning, this fine I'4, which has
been fuch a confiderable time building, was
launched from his Majelly's dock-yard, at Port!:
mouth ; the rent off the (Locks in a progreffive
and majeftic (Lyle, amicla the huzzas of the fur-
rounding fpeetators, at lealt twenty thoufand: fo
eager were all ranks to witnefs this beautiful and
gratifying fpeetacle, that the avenues leading to
the dock.yaid were crouded at an early hour, and
fo completely choaked up by the multitude, that
it was for a confiderable length of time before tha
whole could gain admiflion to the Yard.—The
Rages built for the reception of Ladies and Gen-
tlemen of rank, difplayed an affemblage of beatitr
and fafhion ; and we never recolleet, on any fimt-
lar occafion, to have teen fuch a number of people
prefent. Several of the moll eminent charac-
ters of Portfmouth, Portfca, and Gofport, were
launched in her, amongit whom we ()Slaved Rear
Admiral HOLLOWAY and his daughters, Lady
SAXTON, Captain MOWBRAY, &C. &C.
After her being afloat Come time, preparations
were made for bringihg her into dock for the pur-
pofe of getting coppered and completed for fea,
which was effeeted without the flighteff injury to
the fhip or boats that attended. About two o'clock
the whole of the people landed from her, when Lady
CHARLOTTE DURHAM, Admiral HOLLOWAY, MTS.
SAXTON, Mifs Shirrna, and feveral other diftin-
guifhed perfons, partook of an eleg.ant cold colla-
tion, provided by Sir CHARLRS S•ZTON, at his
houfe in the Dock Yard. If any thing can add to
the pleafure of the day, is, that no perfonal injury
was received by any individual prefent.
