Departure of fleet from Hampton Rends

We understand that official advices were received at the War Department last evening that the Federal fleet, which has Hampton Roads for some time past, had departed seaward. Its probable destination believed to be somewhere on the coast of North Carolina, although a more distant may be in contemplation.

The fleet look a large numbers of troops.--There were several war vessels thoroughly for effective operations, and no doubt the intention is to make, if possible, a formidable attack.
