The Great Naval Expedition.

From the n. Y Commercial Advertiser, 14th inst
One of the most extensive naval exp ,di-
tons in which this country ever engaged is
now in preparation. and part of it is already
on the way to common rendezvous.
The larger portion of this feet has been
fitted out at this port, but several vessels have
been prepared at Boston and Philadelphia,
all intended for the same object. The feet
has been furnished with every necessary, yet
all has been conducted without hustle or
confusion. Merchants have offered their yes
sells, and they have been accepted by the
United States quartermaster with prompt
uess. The transports have been rapidly
loaded at our wharyes, aud then hauled into
the stream or off the battery, waiting the sig
nal to start. Large steamships that have
won themselves renown as ocean palaces,
have been stripped of their gliding, loaded
heavily with cannon and death dealing mis-.
siles. aud taken into the ranks of transports
and war vessels. The expedition, as it was
composed in our harbof a few days since,
presented somewhat novel appearance. The
Baltic, loaded nearly to her guards; the At
lantic, Vanderbilt, and other ocean steamers,
all bearing valuable freight, lay in the stream
with saucy gunbOats, side wheel and pro-
pell.rs, and even the diminutive tug. with a
new coat of black paint. laid proudly with
the war fleet. By the middle of last week,
this expedition was SO far advanced that peo-
pie began to speculate upon its probable
destination The very curious did not hesi-
tate to take an early walk upon the battery
and to devote an hour to the critical examf-
nation oil the feet, to see If any of them had
left during the night The wonder lovers
were gratiiied on Saturday by the departure
of the Coaizacoalcos. Cahawba. Roanoke,
Empire City, Parkersburg, Unadilla, and At

transferred from Fort Hamilton to the Cahaw-
ba, and Colonel Serrili's en- gineers were taken
on another vessel. - tsss

have received the troops who are TO take
part in the expedition.
We commit no Improperly when we
declare that the first destination of the yes
sells composing the expedition is Hampton
Roads and Annapolis The naval vessels
will rendezvous at the former place, while
the transports are engaged in taking on
board troops from Annapolis. 1t is stated,
with some semblance of truth, that there
were fifteen thousand men sent TO Annapolis
on Thursday. We also learn that the Con-
tinental Guard. COL. Perry, Washington
Greys, Col. Moore, and three other regiments
have orders to join the division at Annapo-
lis. 1t is therefore probable that an aggre-
gate force of twenty-five thousand men will
be sent off. These will be fully equipped,
armed in the best manner and supplied with
an abundance of provisions.
The ultimate destination of the expedition
is known but to Government and General
Scott; and even when the feet sails, the Gen.
eral 10 command of the troops will probably
received sealed dispatches, which he will be
instructed to opeu when in certain lati-
