EXPECTED OFFICIAL ADvfCEs FROM FORT pICKgSs
--IHE YAsKs.s INCREDULoUs.
WAsHINeroE, Nov. 3o.-The Navy Depart
mept has no intelligence from the Gull, ex-
capt what has been pu blished. Nothing
official from that quarter is expected I'm Ill
the arri val of the Connecticut, expec ted vi
in a few days. II is not doubted that there
has been an engagement between Gen. Brown
and the rebel forts around Fort Pickens, but
there cannot be a word of truth in the rebel
statements in regard TO our ships having been
in the eng agement, for the simp reason that
the Colorado was not there at all, and the
Niagara draws too much water to have be en-
in the position which these reports assigned
to har.
