Evacuation of the Peninsula.

From information received in this city yesterday morning there can be no doubt that the Peninsula has been evacuated by the Yankees. On Monday afternoon several large transports came up the York river to West Point, and on Tuesday morning they departed, taking with them the force at that point. Later news from below states that Yorktown has also been evacuated, and the supposition is that the whole force has been withdrawn and sent round to the Potomac to reinforce Hooker.
