If the weather is tolerably fine, and there is not much
awell in the offing, the fleet will have steam ready (hut
with the fires banked), and be hove short by 11 o'clock
in the forenoon.

Rer Majesty's yacht, on leaving Portsmouth harbour,
will probably steam past Gilkicker Point, and, enterine
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 thel
flotilla, the flotilla will weigh, and will follow the Queen'si
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.
On reaching the flag-ships, the van and rear squadrons
of the flotilla will return in succession to port round the
Duke of Wellington. The van [squadron (White) 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 the westward
in line. The 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 it
succession to starboard round the Royal George, and,
Passing to the southward of the south column of the line of
Ships, will cross the westward of both columns. The
centre squadron (Red) will take up a position, and an-
chor their left opposite to the Meander and Belleisle, in
Stokes Bay, and extending thence to the east, and oppo-
site to the mortar-vessels. The light squadron (White
and Red) will follow the centre division, and will place
itself in opposition between the centre and van squadrons.
Gun-boats ordered to attack are not to fire more than
six rounds.
The whole flotilla will be prepared to open fire on a
signal from the Royal yacht or Commander-in-Chief.
L soon as the flotilla shall have passed the flag-ships in ;
the van of the columns, the whole fleet will weigh on
the signal being made by the C mmander-in-Chief,
lowering their sags simultaneously with the flag-ship,
and will proceed in close order of sailing towards the •
Pivot ships, at such a rate as will allow the prescribe.i
