THE BALTIC FLEET.

PORTSMOUTH, Arm 3.

The Baltic fleet has not sailed to-day, the weather
being exceedingly thick, with a contrary wind blowing
almost a gale. The order to unmoor the ships preparatory
to sailing was given in the morning ; bat es the weather got
worse, aad the wind rose higher, another signal, annulling
the first, was hoisted from the flatehip, the Duke of Wel-
liogten.
The fleet will sow sail the first opportunity, probably
early to-morrow morning, as the wind, though still blowing
very bard, appears to be getting round to a favourable
point. The nos sailing of the fleet has been the source of
groat disappointment to numbers of persona. To vellums
its departure many thousands had come down by rail, both
this day and for several days back, the port being quite
crowded with visitors. Little pleuure was to be enjoyed,
however, for the rain has fallen almost incessantly all day
long. Nevertheless, the steam-boats announced to sail
through the fleet, kept their engagements, and many hun-
dred persons ventured out to Spithead. Amongst the
visitors who are down here are the First Lord of the Admi-
ralty, Sir Cheeks Wool, Roar-Admiral Berkeley, Senior
Sea Lord of the Admiralty, who, with other naval officials,
went out of harbour is the Black Eagle steam yacht this
afternoon to view the fleet. -

The fleet was joined this morning by the Orion, 91,
screw ship, Captain the Hon. J. E. Erskiae, from Sheer-
ness. She is amagnifloent ship, the longest, we believe, in
the Navy.
The Bellerophon, 78, Capt. Lord George Paulett, ar-
rived at Spitlioad at aeon today from the Black Sea,
Malta, Gibraltar. She has had a vary unfavourable pas-
sage. She has been a fortnight coming from Gibraltar.
She has brought home 160 sick and wounded from the East,
the remainder of the crew of the ill-fated Tiger, and a
number of seamen and marines. She comes into harbour

tomorrow to dkoothark the sick and wounded, and to be
paid off. She has been in commistion since November, 1850.

Two YEARS' ENLISTMENT.—The Gazette of last
night contains en order by the Qom's in council, of which
the following is the essential portion :—" Now, therefore,
her Majesty is pleased, by and with the advice of her Privy
Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, that any person
may be enlisted as a *Didier, under the provisions of the act
of the 10th and 11th years of her Majesty (cap. thirty.
seven), for ten years in the infantry, or for twelve years in
the cavalry, or artillery, or ether ordnance corps, and also
that any perms between the ages of twenty-four end thirty-
five years may, under the provisions of the set i eased in
the present session of parliament, for three years after the
passing thereof, be enlisted as a soldier in her Majesty's
infantry forces, or in the intentry forces of the East India
Company, for the term of two years, and for such further
term, not exeeeding one year, is her Majesty may by order
in council direct, the term of service to be reckoned u di-
rected and provided in and by the act of the 10th and 1 lth
years of the rugs of her Majesty, for limiting the time of
service in the army."

A barque called the Panama hu just arrived at
Southampton, and is to be immediately surveyed, previous
to her taking out provisions to the Crimea.
The monster West India steamer Parana hu been
taken up by the French government.
The government has decided to send no more malt
liquor to the Black Ewa, while the Beat India Company are
Goading out 90,000 barrels for the use of the troops in India,
all of this year's brewing.
The new pattern clothing has been served out to
the Ist Dragoon Guards. The frock, or tunic, appears to
great edvanttge upon large-sized men, and, when worn
with the helmet, is undoubtedly a last improvement upon
the tailless garment conferred upon the Heavies" some
eight years mos, and which is a its shout to be discarded.
