tion OF the great expedition which sailed
from Hampton Roads on tie 18th inst. Il
says the plan of Admiral Porter will be
probably to effect, first the reduction OF

range, and as soon as the fire Of the 70, {
'slackens, light draft gunboats and moni-
tors viii pass the fort and encounter the
obstructlons In the river above and lead
in the reduction Of the tort. Admiral
Porter will probably have recourse to the
explosion of power close under the walls,
demolishing them by the concussion.--
The powder will be carried there by an
old transport.
The distractions removed from Cape
Fear rly er. the teet can pass up to Viii
mington aud assist Gen. Butler in the

no winter quarters for any Of the armies
except that portion OF Grants which will
continue the siege Of Petersburg.
