LAUNCH OF TNt HERO, 01 74 cuas.—Yefierday
this beautiful velfel was launched from Mellis. PER-
RY'S dock, in Blackwall, and named by Lord HOOO.
The day being remarkably fine, it drew together a
vail crowd of fpeaators. From the entrance to Pop-
lar, for a mile, it was completely filled with Gentle-
nien's carriages, hackney-coaches, gigs, &c. &c. fo
that thole who had not the luck to be in time, had
to pulls their way through a crowd of people, coaches,
barrows, and horfes, attended with every inconveni-
ence, fuch as the exceffive fining heat and dull occa-
fioned. On entering the Dock you were relieved
by the breeze which blew from the River. The
whole made a very grand appearance. As the tide
rote, every perfon became anxious to be near, and
were on tip-toe to behold the launch. She lay with
her Rena to the River (her decks crowded), carry-
ing Englifh colours. She was a beautifully looking
treed, painted black, and yellow tided ; the had the
head of a watrior with a helmet, whence the takes
her name Firao, and very loon made a grand launch..
Precifely at 35 minutes pall two the began to move.
The fpeetators, who were on the fcaffolds on each
fide, feemed in a frightful predicament,• when the
went off, being at fuch a height. There was no
accident happened. The HERO is three inches wi-
der than any (hip of the fame rate in the navy. She
is to be immediately put into commiffion.
A new (hip of 74 guns is ordered to be built at
Chatham Dock Yard, to be called the Attounta.
