PLYNIOUI'II REGATTA, JULY 27.
In describing the scenes of yesterday, we might easily fancy bur-
selves on the shores Of Italy, fur if the Adriatic bete her beautiful '
burthens in pride, the Waters of Plymouth Sound were as richly,
laden with noble easels, and the surrounding scenery would not lose.
in comparison even with the land of flowers and song. Mount
Edgcumbe, for ever green and luxuriant, and, at this season of the
year, arrayed in all iti fascinating loveliness,—;he woods of Saltram
reposing in the distance,--the heights of Stratton,--the Hoe, Atomic
Batten, and the Islancl.-.the towns of Plymouth, Devonport, and.
Stonehouw, with innumerable villages, and an extensive Landscape
in the back ground, protected on the west and north by the hills of
Cornwall, and the bleak mountains of Dariniour.—Gunn one of the
beg panoramas to be met with in England. Then figure to your=
oaf hundreds of sailing boats of all shapes and sizes, mating about
ha the bay, filled with human brings,—the steamers cleaving the
waves, and spouting their volumes of smoke into the clouds like
moving volcanos; and above all the thousands and tens of thousands
of happy spirits, (at least as fat as a complacent "'haste/1, of the
visage enabhs us to judge) congregated on the surrounding emi-
nences, some drawn together to see and be seen, some to criticise
the sailing, and some (honest souls!) who though they were in happy,
Ignorance of all sailing tactics, and knew nut an outrigger from a
bowsprit, a jit, from a mixen, nor a first rate from a chattel mores;
felt as gratified as those who did,—and you have a picture such as
we beheld from a commanding position in front of the Sound. A
more animated sigh; could not be witnessed, particularly when it is
remembered that the pleasure experienced by such a multitude, is
identified with the best interests of England ; and proud are we to
observe the Noblemen and Gentlemen of our favoured Isle em-
barking in an amusement so well calculated to keep alive the spirits
of our " hearts of oak."

" Whose march is o'er the mountain wave,
Whose home is on the deep ;"
and to provide the sinews of future triumphs on the native element
of Britain. No part of the shorn of the South is better adapted For
the. practice of naval tactics than the port of Plymouth—its nume-
rous, harbours, creeks, and inlets—the Breakwater breasting the
Sound with an outlet at either extremity—the influence at its various
tides--the surrounding eminences, which r.miler squalls and suddeh
calms, from the shifting of the wind, vet y common, reqiifret a fund
of nautical ability ; and superior seamanship has-beget sax excellent
field for display.
The multitude was enlivened during the dilitity the aelightful
music of the Royal Marine Band, and the Cheerful notes ..of the
South Devon Militia Band. Thu Stewards took their station near
the newly-erected mound-fit-the -einem of the Hoe, where the
Union Jack and the Plymouth Arms floated on the breeze Fide by
side. A line of elegant marquees, extended fro this spot to the
eastern extremity of the Hoe, the blanks nt
between which were filled
up witb Gentlemen's carriages, chiefly occupied by distinguished
females, dressed in gay attire.
The starting host was this year fixed in the open bay inAdiapely
in front of the Stewards' station, near the White Buoy, the old
station being too confined. From this spot every one obtained a
clear view of the races. The line of sailing was also-simplified by
having only two mark-boats instead of four. The essuese.wai front
the starting boat to a boat moored in Bovisand lhy, from thence
round a boat stationed off Penh* Point, and back again--so be
sailed over twice. The yachts began to arrive as early as Sunday.
The Felton, having onboard Lord Yarborough, the CoMmodore of
the aub, appeared off the port on Monday, where he remained
cruising about, collecting his squadron from various quarters, many
of which entered the harbour; and on Tuesday the Falcon also
entered, and cast anchor in the Sound, where she has been visited
by immense numbers, curious to have a bearer survey of this farms
famed vessel.
By Wednesday morning, a considerable number of yachts had
arrived, and at eleven o'clock precisely, on the siva* gun being
fired from the eastern Hoe, the following started for Ilse Ladies' Cafe
Arrow . . cutter, 84 tons, J. Weld, Esq.
Harriet . . ditto 96 tons, Earl of Belfast
Black Dwarf . ditto 66 tons, W. Garland, Esq.
The weather was extremely favourable, the wind blowing into
the Sound from the S.S.E. with a fair breeze. All eyes were at-
tracted towards the race, which attired great interns, the Arrow
being well known as a first rate sailer, and the qualities otthe Har-
riet being also considered Mpetior. It was a beautiful rate t at
starting Harriet took the Wadohe Arrest having low time its Atilt*
'nigher jib, but shortly after the latter made head in the most gallant
style, keeping to the wind In a manner to excite the admiration of
' the spectators. This advantage she artaintained throoghoist, though
the Harriet, in going before the wind made motet menet't play.
and showed that her powers were of the first ender. The Arrow
rounded the starting bon about three minutes before but advert/ay,
and was saluted with three cheers from the multitude. The Black
Dwarf was several miles behind.

The second class did not start, only two boats of the wort tan-
nage having entered, and the regulations requiring that net less that
three should compete for the prisk.-
The third prize alio remained uncontested.no boat, having entered.
The fourth class assembled at twenty-five minutes past twelve,

round about the earth" in forty minutes, and tbdlisendsof admiring
eyes followed their course in anxious expectation. We have net
time to detail their various manoeuvres, but each boat was managed
in the most spirited manner. The prize was wee by the Anne,

This Memorial, alluded to in the STAR of yesterday,
has just been published at Paris, and the following is
its introduction:

I entered into the Ministry on the 14th of December,
1841. Europe was then placed in grave and trying
circumstances. The revolutionary spirit, propagated
by secret societies, extended everywhere its ramifica-
tions, and already enveloped, as in a net, all the nations
of the Continent. In Spain revolt made frightful pro-
gress: at Naples and in Piedmont the insurrection, sup-
pressed by force of arms, still struggled with the laws.
In Switzerland rebel refugees conspired openly.
The events of Befort, of Saumnr, of Timm, of
Rochelle, early pointed out to the Government the dan-
gers which threatened the kingdom.
The organization of a string and dreaded army bad become a
necessary condition of the safety of the monarchy.
It does not become me to recall my services, but I
cannot do less than remark, that the men who have be-
come my enemies do not dispute with me the honour
of having seconded the favourable inclinations of the
late King towards the army,
The lot of the soldier was improved. Encourage.
ments and rewards were distributed with discernment,
the choice of individuals made with tare, caused to
spring up in all hearts the love of their country.
The Frenchman soon understood his duty. It was
sufficient to point out to him shades of distinction—op-
positions were effaced: A good understanding was
established among men equally called to the defence
of the Throne. I saw displayed arotrnd me that fidelity
for the sons of St. Louis with which my own soul was
penetrated. The impulse given unto my Ministry had
tot slackened, and every day I can cons:imbue myself
on the success of my labours. The spectacle of an
army, such as that which the Peninsula saw, and such
as still remains an example to rival nations, will ever be
the consolation of my life.
If, on all other points, vi:tory had decided in favour
of legitimate power, it was not so in Spain. These
every day added to the success of anarchy and troubles,
too much resembling those of October, 1769, had led
to•the capture of Ferdinand VII. It belongs to the na
lure of populir doctrines to spread and to conquer;
thirty years of agitation, of confusion and combath
were sufficient to instruct us. Could I besides remain
ignorant of the' impious lavishes, the secret plots, and
culpable hopes of more than one exile? I would have
deserved the reproach of `blindness and imprudence if
our frontiers, threatened at once by civil war and
foreign hostility, had not attracted my attention, and if
I had not placed that part of France in security from
danger or- revolt: . ,

confess, indeed, that when with a zeal, of which 1
haft a right to speak, when, with continued and eager
cafe' I prepared that • military expediffon which was to
save. Spain and her Kingtom the fury of a disastrous
revolution, that I scarcely suspected that greedy specu-
lators would soon contest with me the honour of hav-
ins' served the State—that I should see unjust preju-
ad-gaining ground against me—that preparations of
which all Franca was the witness, should be called in
question-Nand that public opinion might at last come
to fluctuate between me and a Contractor, whose whole
talent consisted in procuring for himself a :offender of
Abe treasures and megagines of the State, withoit limit
and without guarantee. t have seen the progress of
error, and I still doubt whether I ought to give credit
to it. Mygoed faith astounded, can the lei' conceive this
aberration of certain minds, that an imposing authority
had placed the truth in the clearest light.
if.. Nevertheless I wished to preserve silence respecting
the contracts of Bayonne, as well as the transactions of
Victoria and Madrid. Strong in the consciousness of
my own mind, and in the teality of my services, I waited
with the rest of the public for the decisions of justice,
happy in hot being obliged to render more difficult the
position of the accused, among whom I found some old
companions in arms.-
This was not, however, permitted. All attacks have
been directed with violence against my administration
and my person. All social proprieties have been for-
gone'', and I need not say why I at last raise my voice,
when I know that os all sides parties blame my silence.
I enter, then, into the lists, wiih the consciousness of
having made to moderation all the sacrifices which it
could require,
I shall have. satisfied my duty, I shall have repelled
the responsibility which at certain times cea tain writings
ind•disconnes have invoked upon my head; when I
demonstrated that necessity never required
Mose iffinsactions in Spain which have become so fatal
to the public fortune. I then engage to cast a glance
on the senseless imputations which, to answer an in-
terest easily understood, have been attempted to be sub-
initiated for the teal charge.

A few days since a number of respectable inhabi-
tants met for the purpose of considering the practicabi-
lity of opening a new road from St. Margarets-hill, in
the Borough, to the Southwark Bridge-road. A view
*as taken of the ground, when it appeared that by
taking down one or two houses at the end of Castle-
stnwt, an opening might be made close upon the Town
Hall, and an excellent line of communicatiou be formed
to the Southwark Bridge-road. This would, from many
'points, occasion g saving of more than a quarter of a
ngie in distinct, and greatly relieve St.Margarees.hill,
and some other crowded thoroughfares. This it was
-estimated might be done at an expense not exceeding
50001. and the rental in the line of improvement be so-
creacei by doublethat amount. The plan appeared to
he adopted with great spirit, and as it does not appear
likely to need,any great advance Of money, it will pro.,
trebly be carried• into effect. It is intended to take'
Ines:urn for bringing a Bill into Parliament on the
--subject next Session. All those who are obliged to pass
through some parts of the Borough acknowledge that
..the greatest and most desirable improvement would be
to make some of the large furnaces there, which vomit
ftirth soot in such abundance on all around, consume
their own smoke. St. Saviour's Church there presents
a cosines spectacle--a portion of it- is beautifully re-
isolcidi whilst the great body of it is 101 allowed to re-
:Sala in d state of ruin and rapid decay. The ancient
Snifiteat Court is without windows; and exposed to the
effects of wind and rain.
