The following is from the Ame11caH's
Fortress Monroe correspondent
The French steamer GdsssHdi had arrived
at Yorktown with the French minister also
Capt Fox, Asst Sec'y Of the navy. Up to
one O'Clock the steamers with Franklin's
division had not gone beyond Yorktown but
were waiting to hear from above. \ returned
gunboat reports the river unrestricted & that
our gunboats had reached West Point, and
landed force which destroyed bIidg, On
the road to Richmond. Several rebel trans
ports were overtaken, some were run ashore,
those on board escaping, lid she vessels
burned, others were captured.
LItest reports state that Gen. Mcclellan
was with the advance and supposed to be be-
icre Williamburgh, in which direction there
had been a brisk eannonadIns all day.
Yesterday P. IN, a schooner came down the
James River from Rfanond and when near
Newport News was run ashore on the South
side Of the river, her men taking to the boats
and pulling for Newport News. On arriy-
ing. they announced that they had inten-
tioually ran her ashore to reach our lines,
and that she contained 60 tons Of coal for
the Merrimae. Several boats started of, but
were compelled to burn her, being unable to
ct her off the shore.
The Merrim4e was in sight, bat did not
attempt to interfere. The crew were IA ken
to headquarters. They give deploFa'le ac-
count Of affairs at Richmond, and among the
troops, the latter regarding all further at
tempt to sustain the rebel cause, as sheer
folly.

The rebel works are very extensive, and ex-
eeedngly strong both in respect to Their 70.
sition and the works themselves. Our los
was heavy in Hooker's division /; bat very
little, in other parts Of the field. Hancock's
success Vas gained with loss Of no: over 20
killed and WOUNDED.
The weather is good to-day, bat there is
