Naval. As icoter e. ow 111 E PRINCESA CHAttuoTTE.—
Not long before In.r Royal. Highness left Weymouth,
being at sea in her yacht, the LEVIATHAN, of 74 guns,
sailing near, brought to, fired a salute to the Royal
standard flying, and soon after, Captain NIXON, who
commanded her, rowed on board the yacht, to pay
his respects to the Princess. Her Royal Highness
received him on deck, and after the watalceremonies,
she said—" Captain Nixou, 'yours seems a very fine
" ship of war, I should tike much to go on board
-" her." The Bishop of EXETER, standing by, asked
whether she thought her Itlustrii us Father might not
probably disapprove of her thus passing io an open boa
through a rough sea ? The immediate ipswer to thy
was--a° Qtteen Eetaancrsi took great ch:Pght in her
" Navy, and was not afraid to go on board a man,
" at war in an open boat, then why should 1 ? Pray
" Captain NixoN have the goodness to receive me ins
your barge, and let me be rowed en board the
" LEVIArkIAN, fur I am not only desirous, but deter-
" mined to inspect her."— The necessary prepara-
tions were made, and her Royal Highness passed
down into Captain NIXON'S barge, followed by her
two Ladies in atti:ndance, and the Bishop of Emma,
and coming alongside the LEVIATHAN the yards-were
instantly manned, and a chair of state let down.
The Princess desired it to be rehoisttd, saying.-
" I prefer going up in the manner that a seaman
" does ; you, Captain Nrxos, will kindly folio* me,
'c taking care of my cloaths ; and, when I am on
" deck, the chair may be let down for the other La-
" dies, and the Bishop." No sooner said, than done;'
`es her Royal Highness ascended with a facility that
astonished the whole delighted crew. Tbe Royal
suite being upon deck, the ships' Officers were sev-
rally introduced. Her Royal Highness expressed
great surprise at the space and strength 4 the ship,
and, remarked--" Well might. such noble structures,
be called the a Wooden Walls of Old England it
She now told Captain Mum, that she should not ise
satisfied with an introduction to his state cabin, as,
she was very anxious to see every part of his ship
between decks, and even below. Accordingly be
accompanied her Royal Highness down, when she
inspected every birth, cockpit, powder magaaisle,
store holds, itc.l and, on her return upon deck, gave
her thanks to Captain NixoN and attendant Ofheers
in the most gracious terms, assuring thtts that they
,had afforded an exhibition of More interest to her ,
mind,'than any she had hitherto beheld. - The Prin-
cess having presented a purse to Captain Num,
desiring hiM to apply it for the crew, as a token of
her respect for them, descended down the ship's side
as she rose, under a royal salute, and the more gra-
tifying cheers of the loyal and hearty crew of a Bri-
tish Man of War !
