17.AVA.L AND MILITARY INTELLIGBNCE.

The advanced squadron of the Baltic Fleet, on leaving
Spithead, took iailiug order as follows—
Weather Line. Lee Line.
Imperious° Euryalus
Arrogant Tartar
Esk Archer
•
—and proceeded under steam for the Downs.

It is now reported that the squadron will proceed to Elsi-
nore almost immediately.
The fleet at Spithead dressed ship and fired a general Royal
salute at a few minutes bettors 3 yesterday afternoon, as her
Majesty, in the Fairy, Royal steam-yacht, proce del across
the anchorage from Osborne to Gosport, 'towards town.
No day of sailing is yet even " reported " for the
fleet. Its number is daily inc,eased. The Cmsar, 91, Cap-
tain Robb, joined yesterday afternoon. The Hastings, 6d,
new screw block-ship, Captain Catlin, was going out of
Portsmouth harbour yesterday, but after a few revolutions of
her engines she stopped and moored again to her hulk. The
James Watt, 91, Captain Elliott, was removed from the steam
basic yesterday and placed alongside a hulk to take in her sea
, stores, Sze. The Centaur, 6, Captain Clifford, is ready to join,
and will go to Spithead to-day. The Hogue, 60, Captain
Ramsay, is also ready this day. The Black Eagle, Admiralty
steam yacht, arrived in Portsmouth harbour on Thursday
night from Woolwich, to attend on the Board of Admiralty on
their parting visit to the fleet. The Neptune, 120, Captain
Hutton, was paid wages down to the 31st of January last, at
Spithead yesterday. The Basilisk, 6, paddle sloop, Commander
Jenner, was docked in No. 2 dock yesterday to repair a leak.
In consequence bf an order issued by the Lords of the Ad-
miralty, to the effect that every ship in the fleet proceeling to
the Baltic shall-carry as large a quantity of provisions as they
can conveniently stow, great activity prevails in the Royal
victualling yards at Deptford and Gosport. Extensive con-
tracts have likewise been entered into by the Government for
the supply of 2,000 tierces of beef and pork, and large quanti-
ties of suet, flour, peas, tea, cocoa, sugar, Valentia raisins,
rum, vinegar, and limejuice. A provision depot is to be esta-
blished in Leith Roads, and another at the Dockyard at Deal,
at which places vessels belonging to the North Sea, Baltic, or
Channel squadrons can be supplied. It is also intended to
establish a victualling store at Heligoland for the same pur-
pose.

- We also stated, some days since, that to each of these 20
sail of the line a screw gun-boat would be attached. We have
reason to believe that the arrangement at present is as follows,
so that each lips-of-battle ship will form a squadron :
We now append what we believe will be the screw force
(ships of the line)—at least, the first fleet, together with the
screw gun-boats attached :

Ships of the Line. Screw Gun-vessels.
Duke of Wellington 131 Starling
Royal George 102 Snap
Exmouth ... 91. Lark
Orion ... 91 Magpie
James Watt ... 91
Caesar ... 90 Weazle
Nile •.• •.• 90 •• • Redwing
Majestic ... ... 80 Dapper
Creasy , ... 80 Pelter
Colossus .. , ... 80 Ruby
Sanspareil ... 71 ... Boner
Blenheim ... 60 Pincher
Ajax ... CO ... Gleaner
Edinburgh ... ... 60 Snapper
Hogue ... 60 .. Badger
Cornwallis ... 60 Fancy
Russell ... 60 ... Clinker
Hawke 60 ... Cracker
Pembroke ... 60 Grinder
Hastings ... ... 60 Jasper
The screw gun-boats are not all ready, but in the course of
another fortnight all will be attached to their respective ships.

The Esk, 20, screw steam corvette, Captain Thomas T.
Birch, arrived at Sheerness on Thursday evening last, from
Portsmouth. The Esk sailed from Portsmouth in company
with the flying squadron on the 20th, and on the same night,
during the thick foggy weather, she got in collision with the
Arrogant, 46, screw frigate, by which the Esk carried away
her port cathead and did other damage to her how, bulwarks,
hammock, netting, &c. She has put into Sheerness for re-
pairs. A number of artificers have been pat on her, and she
will be ready again to proceed in a day or two. She brought
up in the Downs at 2.30 a.m. on Thursday, and arrived at
Ekeerness at 4.30 p.m.
The Cossack, 20, screw steam-corvette, Captain Edward
G. Fanshawe, arrived at Sheerness on Thursday evening.
She left the Downs at 1.15 p.m. and anchored at Sheerness
at 5 p.m., averaging 12 knots under sail with very easy
steam power. She has returned iu consequence of the after-
crank bearing having heated and melted and run the white
metal from the brasses, which require an extra bearing to be
put in the after part of the propellor shaft to relieve the shaft
pipe. It is reported that she is to leave Sheerness to-day for
the Baltic direct by an Admiralty order, On the evening of
the 21st inst., when off the North Foreland, John Pascoe, an
A. 8., while in the act of loosing the ship fell overboard, and,
although strenuous exertions were made by lowering the
boats, &c., he was never seen to rise.
The Goodwill arrived at Sheerness yesterday, last from
Portsmouth, deeply laden with naval stores.

dren, 6 military servants, S civil servants, 18 distressed
British seamen of the merchant service, and 4 officers' horses.
The Malacca, 14; Commander Farquhar, sailed from Gibral-
tar for England the day before the Alps; the latter towed
the Trafalgar, 120, Captain Greville, through the Gut, and
left her on the evening of the 16th off Cape Trafalgar. The
Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord G. Paulett, was to leave the
Rock the next day for England, and the Vengeance, 84, Cap-
tain Lord E. Russell, was at the back of the Rock. The Alps
spoke on the Bth inst. off Pantallaria a Norwegian bark, No.
491, 3d distinguishing pendant ; on the 12th, in lat. 36.42
N., long. 2.28 W., passed the ship John Stewart and brig
lanthe, bound up the Mediterranean. The Alps went into
Portsmouth harbour yesterday afternoon to coal and land her
passengers. Her sick and wounded soldiers, &c., are ordered
to be taken on in the ship to Chatham this morning. When
the Alps left Gibraltar, the Heels steam-sloop, Commander
Hawker, was repairing the damages she sustained by getting
ashore. The Himalaya troop-ship, and the Oberon steam-
