y for the Government having been taken, Mr. Laroque opened in an elaborate argument for the defence. He referred to the letters of marque granted by the Continental Congress to citizens of Massachusetts as a precedent, and defended the prisoners on the ground that they were in the service of what they considered a de facto Government. The learned gentleman objected to the jurisdiction of this court to try the prisoners, contending that, when the prisoners were taken by the Minnesota to Hampton Roads, that they were within the jurisdiction of Virginia, and that was the only place where they could be legally tried. The case is still in progress, and will be continue to-morrow. The capture of the New York brig Granada by the privateer Sallie, off Charleston, adds to the apprehensions felt by ship owners in regard to these freebooters. The war risk was not inserted in the policy of the Granada, and she is, therefore, a total loss. Gen. Baker Obeyed Instructions in the Leesb

From Norfolk. the Federal fleet--a Brig ashore — the weather, &c., &c. [special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, Oct. 30, 1861. Nothing has been heard here about the Yankee fleet since its departure yesterday morning from Hampton Roads. Notwithstanding the iniquitous and piratical intention of the expedition, there was something splendid in the appearance of the fleet as it passed out of the roadstead and moved on in regular order between the capes of Virginia and out to sea. The flag-ship Minnesota took the lead; next followed the steam son boats and lastly the transports. There were doubtless large numbers of troops on board some of the vessels, and the expedition has evidently been fitted out with the design of attacking some important point on the coast — possibly several places. This expedition is, perhaps, the most extensive in which any people, on this Continent ever engaged. The larger portion of the vessels were fitted out in New York,
From Norfolk. departure of thirty-six Federal vessels from Hampton Roads — raising the hulks of the Brig. Dolphin and ship Pennsylvania--presentation of a sword, &c. [special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, Oct. 29, 1861. I have received information from a source which I consider entirely reliable, that thirty-six steamers and one transport left Hampton Roads and went to sea this morning at about 9 o'clock. It is believed that this fleet has gone South; and theHampton Roads and went to sea this morning at about 9 o'clock. It is believed that this fleet has gone South; and the wind being fair and the weather fine, an attack will probably be made very shortly upon some place along the Southern coast. Several Southern ports are mentioned as probable points of attack among which are New Orleans, Charleston, Willmington, Pensacola, Galveston, &c. A few days will, in all probability, decide the question; and but little doubt is entertained with regard to the result of the Yankee expedition, although there may be some hot work. A vast amount of treasure has been expende
