This gallant vessel is of true British heart of oak. She has been much longer in joining than was necessary; a delay justly attributed to a set of idle lubberly mercenary fellows employed in the cabin part of the work; who, dreading their discharge as soon as the job was done, and that no other master-carpenter would be weak enough to take them into his employ, have kept on as long as they could. The vessel is not so free in her joints as could be wished, her braces being too tight, and she bas scarcely a rag of sail left-defects all owing to the obstinacy of the workmen in building her upon a very defective model, produced in 1789, by that great mas ter-carpenter, the late Mr. Pitt. It is a great pity that 7690 W Les such such fine materials should have fallen into such bad hands! The proprietors, we understand, are greatly discontented at the manner in which The Regent has been laid down and finished. This gallant vessel ought to have been built after the model of The Royal George. THE THE QUEEN'S BUCK-HOUNDS.
