A Richmond paper says that the feet now
rendezvousing at Fortress Monroe, and to be
commanded by Admiral Goldsborough, will
be composed of from thirty to sixty sail, and
will depart for the Mediterranean on a three
years cruise about the 4th of July. The
New lronsides and two double-turreted mont
tors will make part Of the feet. The flag.
ship will be the Colorado. She will drop
anchor for several months in the harbor Of
Marseilles, and then the rest of the fleet will
scatter for various points of the sea About
ten vessels will cruise about the British isles
and in the North sea- The ocean, at the
time of the year designated, is generally as
smooth as duck-pond, and the iron-cads, ii
is presumed, will get across. The object Of
this expedition is to acquaint United States
pilots with European hsrbors, and to test the
a-going qualities Of the marine, as we'll as
to show Europe the advances Americans have
made in naval architecture and gunnery.

to produce something tangible in evidence OF
the part he took in the struggle. and the his
tory he has helped to make.
