WASHINGTON, July 1s.-The Porto Rican expedition has started on it's mission to capture that island.
 Gen. Miles, leading the Porto Rican' expedition, left siboney, Cuba, on tn, Yale with four batteries of artillery and few seasoned troops. Two brigades now at Charleston are em- barking on transports to take them to Porto Rico. All the foroe at Tampa, l3,ooo strong, embracing artillery, will be put aboard ship as rapidly as troops can be gotten there and sent to reinforce our other troops Gen. Brooke will take the first and second divisions of his corps from Ghiekamauga to Porto Rico. Gen. Brooke leaves here at once for Chielxamauga 10 get his troops started. It is expected that the whole expedition will be under way within the next four days. It has been decid- ed to retain Gen. Shafter's corps at Santiago for an indefinite period.
 Some of the Troops That VIII Go.
 WAsHINGToN, July 1s.-It is the in ention of the war department to use several s l--,,e niments of the Fourth army corps. under Maj -6ss5sss~sssz -1eppinger' ....e in addition to the volunteers ol's49esss. Broole's First army corps, in the Porto Rico invasion.
 By using the regulars in Gen. Cop pinger's corps, which IS now al Tampa, the administration may avoid the ne- cessity of withdrawing some of the heavy artillery batteries from Santiago for use in the Porto Rican invasion.
 The heavy siege guns which were carried to Santiago with 50 much diff ficulty will not be needed in Porto Rico, for the most strongly fortified town there, San Juan, is not so formidably defended as Santiago and it's situation is far different
 The administration is, moreover, able to command the services of other artil- lerY organizations which are at present in the United States. They are the heavy batteries recently moved south from Fort Constitution. N. H.; Fort Trumbuil, Conn; Fort McHenry, Md, and WiIIetts Point. \. Y.
