THE REVIEW OF THE FLEET.

Oa reaching the flag-ships, the van and rear squadrOns
of the flotilla will return in succession 'to pert 'round the
Duke of Wellington. Toe van squadron (Waite) will
take up a position, at anchor, for attacking the Meander
and stationary line, their right opposite to the floating•
batteries near the Spit Buoy, extending to tbo'weStsvard
in line. Toe rear squadron (Blue) will place itself to the
eastward of the Bogue Buoy, opposite to Southsea Castle,
the centre and light squadron of the flotilla will turn in
succession to starboard round the Royal George, and,
pa-sing to the southward of the south column of the line of
ships, will cross the westward of both coluinns. The
centre squadron (Red) will take up a position, and an-
chor their left opposite to the Meander and Belieisle, in
Stokes Bay, and extending tlrmce to the east, and oppo-
site to the mortar-vessels. Ttie light squadron (Weite
and Red). will follow the oentre division, and will plank
itself in opposition between, the centre and van SqUadFOII2,„
Gun-boats ordered to attack are not to fire more, than
six rounds.

z Trae whole",flotilla willbe prepared to open fire on a
hignal from the RoyalyaclA or Commander-in-Chief,
As soon as the flotilla shall have passed the flag-ships in
tse van of the 'columns, the whole fleet will weigh on
the signal being made by the Cornmander-in-qUief,
lowering their flags simultaneously with the flag-ship,
and will proceed in close order of sailing towards the
,ovot ships,,at such a rate as will allow the prescribed
order to be maintained, closing the columns to a cable's
length apart.

On reaching the pivot ships to the E.N,E. of the Istah,
each column, after passing between them, will turn out•
wards round these ships, the starboard turning to star-
uoard, and the port column to port. Manning the
rigging, and cheering the Royal yacht as they pass, they
will then return to Spithead iu the Caine
their columns after the ships returning westward shall
have passed the rear Of the fleet, and thus regain their
anchorage at ,Spithead, unless otherwise directed by
signal.

PLAY TO BE ADOPTED IN CASE A SIGNAL SHALL BE
• MADE FOE THE PURPOSE. •
No. IL
The position- of the fleet at anchor as in No. 1, and
prepare to weigh ; but should the signal be made for the
flotilla alone to weigh, accompanied by the signal which
will refer to this plan, the gun-boati, after passing
round the flag-ship, as in No. 1, instead of proceeding
at once to the points of attack, will return to the west-
ward outside the columns ; having passed beyond
which they will close the squadrons, each of which
will remain in their original order of formation, and
pas%ing between the pivot vessels off Cowes, the White
and Blue squadrons will turn in succession to starboard
and the 'Red and Light squadrons to port, and return to
the eastward. When the whole have passed the pivot
vessels, the flotilla will form int) single columns of
squadrons---White leading, Blue second, Red third, and
Light fourth--and will pass on north of the fleet (which'
will have, remained at anchor), to their respective posi-
'dons of attack in the order prescribed, and be ready to
open their fire on the signal being given for the
purpose. "

line of anchorage of five miles in length. In the centre,
as it any be called, at Spithead, in a double column, are
the line-Of-battre slips, frigates, steamers, corvettes, dm,

mortar boats, also in double line, being moored at each

THE. OFFICIAL PROGRAMME.
PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY MORNING.
The fallowing official programme of the grand naval
review has been finally determined on by the authorities
of the Admiralty:—

PROGRAMME..—NO. I.
On the occasion of her Majesy reviewing the fleet
the ships will be anchored at Spitbead in two column‘,,
at three cables' distance ; the ships of the line at one
and a halt cables apart ; smaller ships at one cable, The
ships of the line will anchor to the eastwarl, then the
cerew frigates, screw corvettes, and paddle-wheel
steamers. The divisions of gun-boats will continue the
line to the westward, two divisions in each line, formed
each into two subdivisional columns (half a cable apart)
to the west of its divisional leader.
The ll:Lander, B lleisle, floating batterie4,- exercising
buigs, and the mortar vessels, will anchor and form a
stationary line from the Spit Buoy to the western end
of Stokes Bay.
The London and the Rodney will take up a position
as pivot ships to the E.N.E. of the Nab Light, at four
cables apart. Two other pivot vessels will be similarly
placed at one mile west of Cowes.
A royal salute will be fired by the fleet on her Ma-
j--sty's yacht reaching the Spit Buoy, and the sane on
her Majesty's returning into harbour after the review,
Out not until the Royal yacht shall have reached the
:aside of the Spit Buitoy. 'No other salute is to be fired.
The Meander and floating batteries will not salute, nor
any vessel under"the number of guns prescribed-by the
Admiralty order.
All the ships, while at anchor, are to be dressed in
colours, and; on the Royal yacht passing, each ship is to
man the rigging, and the crews are to cheer. The
Meander and stationary ships are to man yards and
cheer.
If the weather is tolerably fine, and there is not much
swell iu the offing, the fleet will have steam ready (but
with the fires banked), and be hove short by 11 o'clock
in the forenoon.
Her Majesty's yacht, on leaving Portsmouth harbour,
will probably steam past Gilkicker Point, and, entering
between the columns at the western or Cowes end, will
proceed through their whole. extent. As soon as her
Majesty shall have passed the eastern vessels of the
flotilla, the flotilla will weigh, and will follow the Queen's
yacht between the lines in the same order in which they
were anchored, preceded by the officer in command of
the division in one of the larger gun-vessels.
