The second Match given by the Royal Yacht Club
was sailed this day. The contest was fur a Gold Cup, value one
hundred guineas. The following vessels were entered to sail :
No. 1. The Peri lugger, 59 tons, Digby Murray, Esq. No. 2.
Hebe cutter, 68 tons, Andrew Corbet, Esq. No. 3. Harriet cutter,
60 tons, Walter Heneage, Esq. No. 4. Emerald cutter, 58 tons,
IJohn L. Symonds, Esq. No. 5. Elizabeth cutter, 65 tons, John
Moore. Esq. No. IL Dolphin cutter, 58 tons, John L. Gower,
Esq. The last vessel was, however, withdrawn on account of the
absence of the owner. The same distance was appointed them to
sail as on the first day. The vessels were placed off Cuwes Castle, the
Peri being to the southward, and the others placed according to their
respective numbers to the northward. The signal gun was fired at ten
o'clock, the wind blowing pretty fresh from the 11KN.W. The vessels
were instantly under weigh, the Hebe taking the lead ; she was
followed by the Harriet, Elizabeth, Emerald, Peri. They con-
tinued in this position for a considerable distance, the Hebe hav-
ing gained four minutes oa the second vessel in rounding the boat
moored off Gurnet Bay, which she passed at 18 minutes after ten.
On arriving at Norris Castle the Elizabeth hoisted larger topsails,
which enabled her immediately to pass the Harriet. They remained
in this situation during the rest of the contest. The Hebe main-
tained her gained ground, and passed the vessel moored of No
Man's Land at CO minutes past eleven. Here the contest assumed
the most pleasing aspect, and the numerous vessels belonging to
the members of the Royal Yacht Club, and several others of the
Thames Yacht Club, London, were seen to the greatest advantage,
and tended very much to increase the beauty of this most interest-
ing spectacle. We observed &Pianist them the Pearl (Marquis of
Anglesey's), Trinity, Oberon, Swallow, Wyverm, Arrow, Blue
Eyed Maid, Jane, and several others. The Hebe passed
the Nab Light at eight minutes to twelve o'clock, Elizabeth
at 6 minutes, Harriet at 5 minutes, Emerald and Peri at 3 mi-
nutes, and continuing in the same position the whole of the dis-
tance back, they arrived at the starting point at the following
periods, viz.:—Hebe 14 minutes to 2, Elizabeth 4 minutes to 2,
Harriet t minutes to 2, Emerald 2 o'clock, and the Pcri 8 mi-
nutes after 2. The Hebe is a most beautiful boat, and promises
to be a very powerful rival; she carried away the cup given by the
townspeopleef Southampton. The third cup will be sailed for on
Friday, by Eliza, Capt. T. Oath, 54 toes ; Turk, Capt. J. Keao,
44 tons; Neuha, J. Sanderson, Esq. 44 tons: Julia, J. Mills,
Esq. 42 tons; and Elizabeth, Earl of Darnley, 42 tons. The
other matches are incomplete.

LITERATURE, the FINE ARTS, DRAMA, .c•.

The year 1816 was very unfortunate for France: con-
stant rains destroyed the crops : the t..xrs, owing to the contri-
butions to the Allies, were enormous. Hut another evil, less in
reality than the preceding, but of which great complaints were
made at the Palace, was the clemency exercised by Louis XVIII.
towards the conspirators. One evening, when we were assembled
in a little coterie with the King, we amused ourselves to make
verses—an occupation which delighted his Majesty exceedingly.
He gave to the Countess de Ch.... the two words France and
(eusence to put in rhyme : the following was the way in which she
performed the task ;
Trois Eau: pesent sur la France :
L'impot, la pluie, et la clemency.
The King laughed at this daring impromptu : he asked ((A a
pencil, and ar.swered by the followirg verses :
Les premiers seront adouck
J'en garde du moias l'esperance.
Pour le second, rien je n'y
Le troisieme e•t. ma jouissance.

Three four lines composed by any individual would Inve ap-
peared extremely fine ; but by a King, they were divine. Vivacity
and the d propos were distinctive qualities with Louis XVIII. The
venerable M. de Sexes (who defended the unfortunate Louis
XVI.) haranzing one day his Majesty at the C'our de Cessation,
became embarrassed, stammered, and at length was obliged
to ask pardon. " ['resident," said the King to him, " upon
another occasion, more dreadful and trying than the present, you
did not tremble."—Mentoires dune floosie de quo it sue Louis
XVIiI. so Cour, a son Regne.

Another Individual who had shown the same heroic devotion as
Al. de Sezes, M. Cheveau-Lagarde, defender of the Queen, was
not viewed with the same kindness by the King. Ile solicited in
vain for a situation as a magistrate : illustrious persons recom-
mended him in vain to Louis XVIII. The Bourbons of Spain
and Sicily were the only ones who acquitted themselves of this
family debt. They honoured Dim with decorations, presents, flat-
tering letters. The King entertained at the bottom of his bean
very unjust prejudices against Marie-Antoinette, which even ex-
tended to the servants and friends of this Princess: that is the rea-
son why the Polignacs appeared odious to him. The Consort of
Louis XVI. had been persuaded that the Consul de Provence
wished to usurp the throne. She determined, in consequence, to
keep him as much as possible remote from the Councils of
the King. To this unfortunate circumstance Louis the Eighteenth
attributed all the misfortunes which befel his family. If his
advice had been listened to in 1789, the Revolution might have
been checked, the Monarchy saved, and the catastrophe of 1793
prevented. lie added :—" Charles the Ist and Louis XVI.
found themselves exactly in the same circumstances. One re-
sisted the pretensions of his subjects, the other always gave way to
those of his own ; both perished on the scaffold. To refuse all,
or to grant all, is equally bad. A Monarch in such trying circum-
stances, can only save himself by a mixture of moderation sad
firmness. He must give way in one respect, and resist in ano-
ther. Such ought to have been the maxim. I should, in the
early stage, have accommodated myself with the principal Chiefs
of the different parties ; I should not have despised them at first,
and have looked fur them afterwards when their influence was
exhausted, and the evil they had caused was irreparable."—
