The New York Tribune of last Thursday has the
following information from its correspondent at Fortress
Monroe. 1t contains some news of Importance
1t is understood that flag officer Goldsborough ex-
poets to have not less than forty ships of the Atlantic
blockadng feet collected in the Roads within the next
two weeks AT present we have six irgates including
the Cumberland, (Which is at Newport News viz
The Minnesota agshir) the Roanoke the SABINE, the
Congress- the st. Laurence the CumberLaad beside the
Ddte, and number OF gunbOats and supply y-shps in
all not less than 325 guns and 1000 men The Wa-
bash is on the coast, and is expected to arrive OF
course the largest number of the expected feet will be
gun-boatS, lately purchased and fitting out in New
York and Philadelphia The destination OF this unex-
ampled squadron is of of the secrets almost
past finding out, and not to be told when found out
That formidable operations to be undertaken on the
Southern coast, there be no doubt. Inasmuch as
the late Atlantic blockading district has been div led
by creating the Southern Atlantic squadron, of which
Capt Dupont will be the flag officer the conclusion is
that the ships which, according to report, will c0ngre-
gate here, will conine their operations this side OF the
dividing line which will be the boundary Of North and
South Carolina
1t should not be supposed that ALL or even majori-
y, of the squadron will be employed in special service
tor 1t is doubtless the purpose of the Government
force more perfect blockade of the whole coast which
experience has shown to be one OF the most effective
methods OF crushing cut the REBELLION Still there are
certain cities and ports the moral effects of capturing
which would be SO great that il is air to be p sumsd

From the intelligence lately received respecting the
triple intervention OF England France and Spain in
the affairs oil Mexico, we may safely anticipate cteck
the meditated schemes of the Lincoln Administration
in that country Although the osteusble object Of the
European ripatite alliance is to collect long standing
debts Que to subjects of the three allied powers il may
be safely concluded that their action vii considerably
modify the policy, domestic and foreign, OF our sister
Republic. That they would suffer the United states to
land an army in Mexico is, at least, doubtful.
Should this blockade become un fat accompl' we
may look forward, in all likelihood. to a brisk trade
