The proposed attack on Ft. Pickens--prompt action in Florida.

New Orleans, Jan. 17.

--The Mayor replied to Gov. Chase that 2,000 men could be raised in 48 hours, if Florida would equip them. The Governor of Florida answered ‘"send them immediately."’

There is considerable excitement here.--Meetings will be held to-morrow.

New Orleans, Jan. 19.--The pilots at Pensacola have been notified not to bring in U. S. vessels, on penalty of death.

A ship is ashore fifteen miles east of Fort Pickens, supposed to be the supply storeship with officers of the navy-yard aboard.

Lieut. Slimmer, commanding Fort Pickens, expected to surrender the Florida forts, save twenty-five heavy guns.
