New York, July 8.
With regard to the movements of General
Burnside, which Iwere somewhat mysterious
heretofore, we learn that two divisions of his
army were on ship-board, and had actually
started to join Gen. McClellan's army, ten
days ago. The expedition was nearing Hat
teras when boat from Roanoke Island, with
dispatches for Gen. Burnside, containing in
telligence that Gen. NcClellan's army was in
Richmond, intercepted the feet. Upon this
information the troops were ordered back to
Newbern, and a boat was sent to Fortress
Monroe to obtain positive information. Th
return of the boat brought the true story, and
matters were arranged accordingl y, while the
| fleet dOubtlessly passed up James River Mon
