PuSTPUAEMENT 'OP TILE NAVAL

REVIEW.

The grand naval review and sham fight at Spithead
has been postponed for a week, in order to allow time
for the arrival of even a larger number of first-class ves-
sels.

The day is not yet positively fixed, but we believe we
may state with confidence that the 231 or 24th instant
will be decided upon,

PORTSMOUTH, Arm 7.
A grand naval promenade, preparatory to the coming
naval review, by her Majesty, the Houses of Parlia-
ment, &c., has taken place to-day. This has been done .
by 11. of the screw line-of battle ships, and 17 screw and
paddle-frigates and sloops, which we yesterday reported
as being at Spithead, together with a number of attend-
ant smaller vessels- -such as the Black Eagle, Yiri4s
,Fire Queen, and Lightning.
The Senior Sea Lord of the Admiralty, Rear-Admit.*
the Right Hon. M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8.,
'arrived
at this port yesterday afternoon, in order to Witness the
proceedings of the day. He went to the dockyard and
viewed the scene of the steam-boiler explosion of Sa-
turday evening, the particulars of which calamity we
reported yesterday. At eight o'clock this morning the
ships at Spithead, crossed topgallant and royal yards,
uninoorecl ship, and lighted fires, and at nine o'clock
they were prepared t' weigh. At about a quer-
ter to ten, Admiral Berkeley went out in the Admiralty
yacht Black. Eagle tq-Spithead, the Commander-in-Chief
going in the Fire Queen. The latter, after .a short
visit to Admiral Dundas's flag-ship, the Diike of Wel
lington; proceeded on board the. Arrogant, 46, screw
frigate, Captain Lyster, Sir George's flag, red at the
fore, being hoisted there, and at the same time struck
on board the victory.
Th 6 gun-boat divisional ships Colossus, Sanspareil,
and Brunswick, screw two-deckers, the Belleisle, hos-
pital-ship, and the Meander, 46, sailing-frigate, took
no part in the proceedings of the day.
At hatf-past 10 the ships of the line were ordered
to weigh, leaving the steam-frigates and sloops 'at an-
chor until such time as the liners should have cleared

the anchorage. The latter went away in two divi- -
-ions, one headed by the Duke of Wellington, and
the other bj the Royal George 102 ; 'the whole pre- .
ceded by the Arrogant and Black Eagle. At-half-past
11, the frigates and sloops went away in obedience to
signal, headed by the Retribution, flag-ship of Rear-
Admiral Baynes. The order of sailing was in two,
lines or divisions, the spectacle being very magnificent. '
The course was beyond the Nab light-ship to .a di`•
lance of about 10 miles. The ships were out of sight
but for a very short time. At about half-past one
the fleet came in sight again, the Duke leading the
port division, and the Royal George the starboari ;
these ships being abreast. The ships returned in the
order in which they went away, the first ships of the
two lines being :
Port Division. Starboard Division.
Duke of Wellington ...131 I 'Royal George 102
Orion
James Watt
Vogue 6O I Edinburgh
And then the other line-of-battle ships, kigates, ft'•
The Commander-in-Chief in the Arrogant took his
station in the centre of the two lines, and as the fleet
approached Spithead on their return, he steamed between
r.he two divisions in most beautiful style, and led them
up. The spectacle, at this moment was really sPlendids '
the great ships and the small ones keeping their stations
in their divisions with as much precision as could the
troopers in a squadron of cavalry, the effect being height-,
ened by, the gay colours of flags of the signals hoisted,
oy the Arrogant in'ieference to the order of the ships
anchoring, &c:, and which signals were repeated by the
Duke, Royal George, and Retribution. Steam was the
moving power of theileet,,although one or two of the
elder built ships had to borrow the aid of their canvas ."
to'enable them to keep their places.
The part the gun-boats took in the display. was
minor one as compared to what they are intended to
ake at the review iteelf. Two divisions of them steamed-
after the fleet, a part of the way, and the other two diii- "."
sions went to the westward, being exercised in sailing in ,f
line, &c.. .1 •
The first return of the advanced Baltic squadron hss
taken place to-day in the arrival at Spithead of the:
Ca3sar, 91, screw, Captain Robb, which came up as the
fleet was making up for the anchorage. She report.
other ships as on their road bare.

SIL4M ATTACK OF ,STEAM GUN-BOATS'
ON THE TOWN OF COWES.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, APRIL
During the whole of this day a number of large, shill ,;
of war hate been steaming up and down the Solent, and y
betwten three and four o'clock this afternoon twelve'
screw gun-boats steamed down from Portsmouth. aaa
when directly off our town commenced blazing off at it
with their heavy guns in such a way as, if they
been shotted and properly pointed, would bave•soon"
widened our streets and thinned our population.
After half-an-hour's firing, having effected their object'
they hauled off' for the night and returned to Ports. •

NAVAL ARRANGEMENTS IN THE
'BLACK SEA.

Our Paris correspondent yesterday quoted a veryfair
ketch of the terms of the treaty of peace from the
pinione of Turin. The number of armed vessels wbic
Rtissia and Turkey are to bare in the Plack'Sse for Oft o'
purpose of 'police and defence of the coastsis'ilot to es
.ceed ten for each Power. (rile number was accidents if
omitted in tout...impression of yesterday.) • - •
. The statement, we have every reason to believe,
quite correct. Turkey, of course, may have as largo
_ll'
fleet as she chooses in the Sea of Marmora and the water"
of Constantinople, and may exercise it in the Mediter
renew). It is obvious that ten vessels for each State
the minimum number of ships required in a sea of tbs.'
magnitude of the Euxine t 3 prevent its coast becomiog
the refuge of pirates, and to secure the safety of the
commerce of all nations in its -waters.
The presence of the Consuls of England and other-
Powers in the ports of Russia will be the best gnariv .5
tee that this slight armament will not be exceeded.'"
