The news in brief. The great mortar fleet, which has been in preparation for so many weeks past at the Brooklyn Navy-Yard, is to rendezvous at Key West, a fact which affords pretty strong presumptive proof that Mobile or New Orleans is shortly to be honored with a visit from Uncle Samuel. The fleet will probably be at the "Key" by the 1st of March. A letter from Captain Rodgers, of the ship Macaulay, states th

The Burnside fleet. As nothing has been heard of the Burnside fleet for some days, it is not improbable that they are engaged in preparing some furtive enterprise, which we take it for granted the Confederate Government is equally prepared to prevent — if not, it ought to be. The safety of the capital must of course have been provided for in the nine or ten months of opportunity for preparation which we have enjoyed. If not, the experience of Hatteras, Fort Henry, and Roanoke Island warn us, by multiplying obstructions in the channels of our navigable rivers, and constructing additional fortifications upon their banks, to make assurance doubly sure.

arms of every kind, would be seized. When they commenced rolling in the bales of cotton he enquired if that was not private property, and was answered that cotton was contraband, and would be seized everywhere. He says a large crowd of negroes gathered on the wharf, and the captain of the gunboats commanded them to disperse immediately, or he would open fire upon them. The darkies scattered in every direction, tremendously frightened. It is rumored that all the prisoners taken at Roanoke Island will be released on parole, and as the crew of one of Com. Lynch's vessels captured have arrived in Norfolk, on parole, there seems to be some foundation for the rumor. About 40 of the escaped soldiers, belonging to Col. Jordans North Carolina regiment, arrived here on Saturday afternoon for Norfolk. It seems that but two of Colonel Jordan's companies were in the engagement, and they fought well.

C., and made his way to Norfolk; but, failing to get farther North, he returned to North Carolina, and was offered employment on the gunboat Fanny, which he was forced to accept, and was employed in surveying inland waters for the rebels. In connection with another loyal man, he obtained a small boat and managed to join Gen. Burnside at Hatteras. It was he who piloted the expedition to the landing place on Roanoke Island, and in no small degree thus contributed to the victory won by the Federal forces. His adventures were listened to with much interest at headquarters to-day. The Probabilities of a change in Lincoln's Cabinet — Speculations in regard to his own resignation.
