harbor lfiO schooners loaded with artil
lery, arms, ammunition, <fcc„ which,
together with tlie transports, would
leave for Port Royal to join the nav.aL
fleet os soon ns they could got ready.
The whole comprises the most powerful
expedition of the war. What its des
tination will be, remains undeveloped';
but the magnitude of thoir fotce and
preparations point, it is supposed, to
Charleston or Savannah. !
