The Ironsides and three monitors, while

Dor, became sntangled.
THE Ironsides will probably have to be

Eve have to say that the above report is not

Official information at the Department induces
the belief that no such movement by our IRON
olads was in contemplation or likely to have
taken place at the time decignated; snd in the
next place, if such information had been re.
oeiyed at Fortress Monroe, it would most GER
talnly have been tslegraphed to the Navy De-
