From FLoRIDA.-The Savannah Repub-

concerning the late movements of the en-
envy in Florida:
We have authentic information of The
movements of the two armies in Florida
during the week just past.
Itappears that column Of the enemy.
consisting of eight regiments of infantry,
six pieces Of artillery and battalion OF
cavalry, left Jacksonville on the night of
the 3lst of May and advanced in the di-
rection OF Baldwin. The day following,
they came upon our cavalry in the fore
noon, and drove them from Cedar Creek
and McGritt's Creek back upon Baldwin.
The enemy outnumbered US so greatly
that successful stand was out Of the
question.
The next day, June ID, our forces adj
yanccd from Baldwin, and met the enc.
my between that place and McGritt's
Creek. They were not inclined to risk
a fight on this day, and we drove them
back into Jacksonville.
Our forces then retired leaving the
lines OF the two armies as they were be-
fore the movement, Our loss was but
trihing.

Satisfactorily accomplished. Not The
slightest mystery, i appears, Is observed
at Nantes as to the fact of these vessels
having been constructed for the Confed
crates and is affirmed that the French
Government, notwithstanding he remon,
strances of Mr.. Dayton, the United
States Minister at Paris, has no intention
whatever OF preventing tho arming OF
them. Thus French shipbuilders enjoy
liberty Of action which those Of Eng
land do not possess, and the French Gov
eminent pays no attention to representa-
tons from the North Americans to the
like OF which our Government meekly
bows.
Veiily Old England, in both respect,
has fallen from her hign estate. The
Shanghai and the San Francisco are dc.
scribed as very handsome and powerful
vessels, and are SO constructed that they
will possess great speed. In addition TO
those, some floating batteries, also for the
CoMfederates, are in course OF consIruc-
ton at Nantes, and such progress has
been made with them that they can be
put TO sea before long.
From bordeaux we learn that in that
port, as well as at Nantes, a steam ship
has been built for the Gonielerates. The
builder is NJ. Arman, who as our readers
know, possesses hugh reputation in his
art. This VESSELS sufficiently advanced
