The enemy approaching Mobile.

le, May 8.
--Com. Porter's fleet is advancing. Seven vessels are off Fort Morgan, and ten more are off Horn Island, moving eastward. They are firing occasionally, apparently feeling for masked batteries. The forces at the forts are confident, and say they will be able to hold the enemy in check.
