TILE SPI777RAD FLEET.

1, JCLY 10.

The complements of the ships of the fleet now at
Spithead sr" gradually though not rapidly being filled up.
Yesterday there was considerable Lustle at the various ren-
dervous with the seamen shipping themselves for their res-
pective ships. On Friday night the Agamemnon, 91, screw
ship, Captain Sir T. Maitland, left Spithead on a cruise for
a few days to test her qualities, haviog on board Rear
Admiral Corry, tommander-in-chief of the Channel
squadron. As she passed St. Helen's Roads she took in
tow the Census, 14, Commander Fellowes, 'which had come
to an anchor there, owlet/ to a want of wind. She is bound
to the 'West Indies, but calls at Plymouth. The Nerbudda,
8, Commander Kerr, sailed from Spithead yesterday eve-
ning for the Cape of Good Hope.
The Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas
Cochrane, K.C.8., shifted his flag, on his promotion, from
white to red, yesterday at noon, when the customary salutes
trete exchanged between the Neptune, 120, flag ship of
Admiral Superintendent laashawe, and the Victory. The
Neptune shifted the flag of the latter gallant officer from
blue to white last night under the customary salutes. The
Neptune is now nearly ready for sea, and is eapected to go
to Spithcad daily. The arrogant, 46, screw frigate, Cape
Fremantle, went out of harbour to Spitbead yesterday
afternoon and anchored with the fleet. The Duke of Well-
iagton, :31, Captain H. B. Martin, C.D., will be paid ad-
vance of wsgte to morrow. Sho is almost daily visited by
foreigners and persons of distinction. With the above
changes, the fleet at this port now comprises the following
teasels:—Duke of Wellington, screw, IL B. Martin, 131
guns; Neptune, E. H. Scott, 120 guns; Prince Regent, F.
Hutton, 90 gaps; London, C. Eden, 90 guns; Hogue,
screw, W. Ramsay, 60 guns; Aj ot, ditto, M. Quin, 60
guns; Edinburgh, ditto, R. 8. Hewlett, 60 guns;
imperieuse, screw, R, B. Watson, 50 guns; Arrogant,
ditto, Fremantle, 16 guns ; Amphion, ditto, Patty, 34 gnu ;
Bidet, padd:e, Goldsmith, 22 guns; Highflyer, screw,
Moore, 21; Odin, paddle, F. Scott, 16 guns; Encounter,
screw, O'Callaghan, 14 guns; Leopard, peddle, G. Gif-
ard, 12 guns ; Desperate, ditto, Chambers, S guns ; Vesu-
vius, ditto, Wilson, 6 guns; Banshee, ditto, Ilosken, 2
gags total, 842 guns. When the Agamemnon, 91, and
the Blenheim, 60, screw guardsbip, Captain Henderson,
CIL, return to Spithead (the latter having gone to Ireland
to wait on the Queen), the fleet will muster within a few of
1,000 gone, about 260 guns more than are possessed by
sitter the Eoglish or the French fleets in Basika Bay. It
is needles to say that this very fine fleet is a source of
great attraction, drawing large numbers of visitors to the
port. It affords most animated spectacles, some of the yes-
salver comprising it being under sail almost daily, shifting,
their positions, &c.
