Probable loss of five of the Crack steamers of the Yankee fleet

--The National intelligencer the other day, in its description of the Grand Armada, said that the 1,500 horses attached to the expedition were mostly on board the Great Republic, Vanderbilt, Ocean Queen, Baltic, and Ericsson. The account yesterday was that, after the storm, the beach for miles about Currituck was strewed with the dead bodies of horses which had been drowned. This fact indicates that the above-named steamers must have been in a terrible strait, and it is not at all improbable that they had to give up the ghost in their fight with old Neptune.--Petersburg Express, 6th.
