PORTIOIrTIT, pail a Majesty'a ship Phaeton,
Captain HENRY E. P. STiritT, has returned to Spithead,
from a three WeekS cryise, with the Experimental Squadron
under command,: cJiisisting of the Champion, Captain Stud-
der t ; .Orestes, . Captain.-Litchfield; .Pylades, Captain .Francis
Feed Rt;e, IlOnotztatile Captain Abbot; and the: Pandora,
. -
Captain. William Gordon. Itanay be remembered that it was
reported-of the Pylades (constructed by Sir Hobert' Seppings)
after the-, first cru4B,; that she..appeared to possess the most
estimable quality in -a ship of war, that of going to Wind.:
• ward in as- small a degree as any ship of her class ; that she
was, in fact,-What seamen call a "leewardly vessel." We
have now to report, that by the alterations she underwent,
the character of her sailing has been entirely changed ; so
far from being lecwarly, she has proved so extraordinarily
weatherly, as when sailing on a wind, to have decidedly
beat the other two vessels ; several instances occurred,
when she was a mile or two on the. lee quarter of the
Orestes and in ivc) hours afterwards she was as far to wind-
ward. 111er stability and improved weatherly qualities sur-
prised the squildron. The ships did not experience a gale
of wind during the' cruise ; but, when blowing very strong,
and a heavy head-sea, she stood very stiff under her can-
vas. In light winds, however, she does not rail so well
as on her first cruise, nor as might be expected from her
appearance... The sailing qualities of the - Champion and
Orestes hareaproved so nearly equal this cruise, as scarce-
ly to justify a preference, 'excepting in light winds, when the
Champion, -probably from the large quantity of canvass she
soreads, -beat her, as well as all the other ships of die squadron.
The enlargement of the masts and sails of the Champion
has not proved of any advantage to her, excepting in light
winds ; probably no sloop.of war beside would be equal to make
-the experiment of carrying such masts (they belong to the
*Mal-lest .class frigate) in the way she has done. The Champion
continues, maa wind and in moderate breezes, to sail, and go
fast to windward ; but, in going before the wind, all the three
ships proved rather slow than good sailers ; a fast-sailing frigate
would beat them on every point. -A Circumstance occurred on
the..24th 'Mardi, with respect to the Champion, which is inex-
plicable, unlesi- we presume that her sails were better set on
-that day than afterwards. It was blowing strong, with a heavy
head sea, when she displayed extraordinary superiority
over the whole squadron, by coming up with all the ships
except the Phaeton, and weathering that ship several miles._
This trial. lasted from eight in the morning_ until six in the even-
She never slimed similar superiority afterwards. The
restilt of the present trial is, that- the Pyladealnas been so greatly
improved as to exceed the most desirable sailing-qualities of
bath the other ships ; that.the three stoops of war must be pro-.
flounced very,superior vessels, with which no- ship of the same
class can be compar;al--as the sailing of the I-Loae and Pandora
with them has proved ; but they are now so nearly alike in:
stability and ..velacity, that a • preference must be determined
by superiority for to sage, and other qualities as ships of war,
and noafar ; and in-this respect, the palm is generally
assigned to the piampion, as being of more capacity than any.
other ship of liCr class. The trial of Captain Phillips's compass
has proved it to be a most excellent instrument, and well
adapted for active sea service. The Phaeton fired-off eight
guns together.; under, and, by the-side of it, the concussion of
which did not produce the slightest effect on the card, hut it
remained steady and .MiitiOniess,. whilst the common compass
was eaciftimetipset;and the top thrown off. The Phaeton i t come
into harbour, be flitted with a wooden mainmast and bow-
sprit, those of iron, with which she was fitted, having :prayed
the failure of the experiment; the former being shook to pieces
the latter broke off and fell into: the sea.
