NEW YORK, MAY 29.

(By Telegraph to Halifax.)
Confirmatory accounts have been received of
Beauregard's being at Richmond, and the general
indications are that the Confederates certainly
intend to dispute the passage of APClellan's army
to Richmond.
The Cincinnati Gazette states that the Federal
army moved up on the 25th to within three lourths
of a mile of the Confederate fortifications at
Corinth.
The Federals were entrenching at this point.
General Halleck reports that his position does not
warrant his risking anything, hence he moves by
regular approaches, fortifying as be goes along.
The Federals were expected to open an attack on
the 29th.

General Lovell is reported to have arrived at
Corinth with 7,000 ment. It is said that General
Price commands the Confederate front.
Advices received from Fort Wright, on the Mis-
sissippi, to the 27th, state that the Confederates
have been largely reinforced at that place. The
transports had arrived from Memphis, bringing
two regiments of infantry and three batteries of
artillery. Part of this force landed at Fort Ran-
dolph, while the remainder occupy the Arkansas
shore, nearly opposite the foot of Island No. 33,
where they are reported to be throwing up bat-
teries.

A refugee from Memphis says it was rumoured in
thßt city that 10 Federal vessels had reached White
River, at the mouth of which they had established
a blockade. The Confederate steamers would thus
be cut off from retreat.

Commodore Tatnall, late commander of the Merri-
mac, officially reports that the reason of her destruc-
tion was that the pilots assured him that they could
take the Merrimac with a draught of 18 feet to
within 40 miles of Richmond. Confiding in these
assurances, Tatnall ordered the Merrimac to be
lightened, and run up James River for the protec-
tion of Richmond. When the Merrimac had been

lightened, so as to render her unfit for action,_ the
pilots declared their inability to carry her with a
draught of 18 feet above Jamestown flats, up to
which point the Federals occupied the shore on both
sides. The Merrimac at that time was not in a
condition for battle with an enemy of equal force,
and the Federal force was overwhelming. It was
therefore resolved to destroy her.
The Federal fleet of gunboats still remains from
13eeenials
15 to 20 miles below City Point, Richmond.
