The Paraguay Expedition,
The New York Express says that the revenue cutter Harriet Lane will be ready for sea on Friday. The officers of the Fulton, now at Washington, are ordered to report by the 20th of this month. The San Jacinto is spoken of as going to Paraguay, but she draws too much water to pass Montevideo or Buenos Ayres. The Memphis and Caledonia, of Cromwell's line, are to go. The fleet will consist of thirteen sail exclusive of the Brazil squadron. Should the expedition be delayed until all the vessels are ready, it cannot be got off in less than a month. It appears to be a settled point as we are informed at the Department to-day, that the vessels of the fleet will leave for their destination as they are respectively got ready; and not be detailed in order that the whole fleet may sail at one time. Operations, however will not be commenced until they arrive at a place of rendezvous yet to be designated: and which will probably be in or near the mouth of the Paraguay river.--Wash. Star.
