THE PORTSMOUTH. REVIEW.

Sir G-arge Willis, the General commanding the
Southern District, has drawn up a plan of operations
for the Easter Monday Volunteer Review at Ports-
mouth, and the programme has received the approval
of the Duke of Cambridge. In the sham fight twelve
gunboats detached from the fleet at Portsmouth, a
squadron of cavalry, a battery of field artillery,
all the infantry in the garrison, and several
thousand volunteers will take part. The general
idea supposes an actual invasion by the twelve men-
of-war, which cover the landing from troop boats of
1600 soldiers, who will represent the invading force, and
who at the commencement of hostilities are in possession
of Langston Harbour. Nothing is known ashore of the
invasion until the gunboats commence to bombard,
when the Spithead forts and the coast fortresses open
fire with their 45-ton and 8-ton guns. At the time
when the artillery commence operations the infantry
and cavalry will be in barracks, and will be hurried
down by train to Hayling Island and to the opposite
coast, forming the glacis of Fort Cumberland, to resist
the landing of the enemy, the gunboats having in the
meantime been delayed in their attempt to destroy the
coast defences by being compelled to engage the Spit-
head forts. The bombardment is to commence at
nine o'clock in the morning, and it is expected that
the mimic battle will not terminate until three
o'clock in the afternoon, as several hours must elapse
before all the defending troops can be brought into the
field.
