Nett York, Feb. 9.—The Tribune has the following despafch: Fortress Monroe, Va.,Feb. B. —The expedi tion having returned, we are permitted to state the following facts.: On Saturday morning General Butler’s forces, under command of Brigadier-General Wistar, marched from Yorfc town by the way of New Kent Court House. The cavalry arrived at 2J o’clock yesterday morning at Bottom’s Bridge,across the Chicka hominy, ten miles from Richmond, for the pur pose of making a raid into Richmond, and en deavoring by a surprise to liberate our prison ers therd. The cavalry reached the bridge at the time appointed, marching in 16i hours 47 miles. A force of infantry followed in their rear, for the purpose of supporting them. It was expected to surprise the enemy at Bottom’s Bridge, who had had for some time only a small picket there. The surprise failed because, as the Richmond Examiner of to-day says, “a Yankee deßerter gave information in Richmond of the intended movement.” The enemy had felled a large amount of timber so as to block up and obstruct the fords and make it impossible for our cavalry to pass. ’ After remaining at the bridge from 2 o’clock until 12, Gen. "Wistar joined them with his in fantry, and the whole object of the surprise having been defeated, Gen. Wistar returned to Williamsburg. On his march back to New Kent Court House, his rear was attacked by the enemy, but they were repulsed without loss to us. A march by our infantry, three regiments of whom were colored, of more than 80 miles, was made in 56 hours. The cavalry marched over 100 miles in 50 hours. This shows that it is possible to make a campaign in Virginia in winter. CAPTURE OF REBEL CAVALRY IN NORTH « CAROLINA.

DECEPTION OF GENERAL MEADE IN INDEPENDENCE HALL. MAYOR HENRY’S SPEECH OF WELCOME AND THE GENERAL’S REPLY. The public reception tendered by City Connells to Major-General George G. Meade, Commander of the Army of the Potomac, came off this after noon in Independence Hall. The hall was taste fully festooned with Hags, and the large silk llag presented to the city by the crew of Hartford covering the entire wall on the eastern end of the room. Twelve o’ clock was the hour fixed for the Gene ral to be at the Hall, but for some time previous a crowd began to gather in front of the building. The police arrangements made by Chief Rnggles were of such a character as to prevent disorder. By noon some two or three thousand persons were about the door, on Chestnut street, while the bal cony of the American Hotel, opposite, and the windows of the adjoining buildings were occupied by ladies. Shortly after twelve o’clock, the members of the City Council entered the Hall, and arrayed them selves m a semi-circle around the Northern part of the room. At half-past twelve o'clock Gen. Meade arrived in a carriage, accompanied by Mr. Ljnd, President of Select Council, and Mr. Har per, President of Common Council. His arrival was greeted with loud and continued cheering from the vast assemblage outside the Hall. The General was escorted into the Hall and was fol lowed by a number of his staff officers. . He was introduced to Mayor Henry by Mr. Lynd. Major Henry then addressed the Hero of Get tysburg as follows : kATOn HENRY* 8 BPEECH. Gexihal: Your visit to the City, although alone intended for the endearments of homo, has afforded to your lellow-citizene an opportunity for the pub lic recognition of your signal services, and for expression of the grateful esteem in which you are justly held. For this purpose the Councils of Philadelphia have invited you td the Halfiof Inde pendence, and in their name I bid you the wel come that is due to every champiou in our coun try’s cause, but to none so fitly as to.the saccrsaful defender of the State within which this venerated edifice ,is reared. Such civic testtmonial of respect can but inadequately evince the gratitude of this community toward the able leader and the intrepid soldiers of the Ajmy ot the Pocomac—that ATmy before whose conceded prowess the foe quailed with instinctive dread as they confronted its firm ranks upon the glorious heights of Getiys burp. Twice in ony country’s annals has th« Fourth day ol July been of special note. The presence in which you stand,and the memorials that surround you, tell of the earlier day when the inspiration of patriots gave forth from this dall that grand creed lor till humanity, whose truths, passing »he com prehension of their teachers, are at length, after three peneraitous of unbelief, finding acceptance through the baptism of blood as the vital, essential teVets lor our national perpetuity. To the memorable hours of the later anniversary the gratitude of those who now greet yah caa bear ready witness. The remembrance is still fresh of that joy which filled every royal heart and beaned from every loyal eye- a joy almost t o great for beu*-! or utterance—when the morning of that day brought ihe gla:"! certainty that thereby it vaiters had be*n overthrown and that their broken co lumns were fleeing ii. display from the soil which b«o been pollnted by their.tread. [Applause.) Memory can yet vividiy recall ta« fer.ent thanks which ascended to the Hiver of all victory and »he Tich benisons that were invoked' firm His band upon the brave defend* rs of our State. No untoward fortunes or ungrateful de vices can rob you of the proud distinction that was then acquired, or can cancel the encoring obliaa lions of onr connin' to the galiaat armv that under your leadership gained new renown in the hard won conflicts of Gettysburg, 111 returning to the arduous duties of your high command, bear with you the assurance of the hearty confidence of your fellow-citizens of Phila delphia and of the special interest with which they mtn-tever view each success you shall achieve in ad vancing your country’s Hag Carry also with yoh the self-evident truth that not onesiuewofths people has been weakened or over-sprained in their gif.ai.Uc efforts to maintain their just cause. After three years of incessant warfare, there is to d«y no less determinHtion to preserve this Union—no less ability to effect that purpose, and no less faith in its sure result, than when rebellion first bid defi ance to the Federal power. [Applause.] Again, Generali I offer the cordial congratula tions of your fellow-citizens, and their earnest wishes lor your undimmed prosperity and honors. GENERAL MEADE 1 8 REPLY General Meade bTieily respouded to tho address ofthf Mayor. He remarked that he could hardly say how he felt by this great honor conferred upon him. When became to this city to visit his family he had no thought that he should called upon to witness such a demonstration. He thanked the citizens of Philadelphia, through their representa tives, for this reception. Sometimes he thinks that too much importance is attached to his humble efforts in behalf of. the Union. To his officers, brigade commanders, regimental commanders, nxd company commanders, but more particularly the heroic bearing of the private soldiers, the great success of the army is duo. [Applause.] If he had not the support of his soldiers not all the military skill in the world could succeed. He desired that the credit should be'given to his army. After the battle of Gettysburg he fuPy appreciated the services of that army which is sometimes called unfortunate. When the record ot that army becomes lully known, it wiU appear that that army is one of the most gallant and determined that the woTld eyer saw. [Applause.] As a sta- • tistical fact, hei Would state that since March, 1861, not less than 100,060 men hud been killed and wotlfcded. He thought that record would show what that annyhas done. When the season for operations commences, ■it will be his duty to again lead iihat army to > the field and he will feel greatly inspired when ho knows that his efforts are appreciated. The General concluded his remarks by again returning thanks lor this.reception. . General Meade then tooka position in the centro of the room, and sh cok each member of Oity Coun cils by thehand. At the conclusion pf this cere mony the public was admitted, and for upwards of an hour the General was kept busy shaking hands with the people. To avoid confusion persons were admitted by the door cn Chestnut streetand passed out through the door on Independence Square.

The Frightful Panic at the Kehel Capital. Wild Rumors, Befeasive Movements, aud General Uproar and Confa sion,Among the Richmondites.^ THE EXPEDITION TOWARDS RICHMOND,| Baltimore, February 9.—The American has a special despatch from Fortress Monroe, from C. C. Fulton, who has been np to City Point. It says: . - , The rebel flag-of-trnce steamer Schnltz, with Commissioner Ould and Captain Hatch, the truce officer, arrived on Sunday morning at City Point. Two citizen prisoners, brought down by the Schnltz, sent on board the New York. They were both Marylanders. One of them, Mr. A. F. Brengle, of Frederick, Md., was captured at Middletown on the 20th of Jane last, whilst acting as a volunteer assistant to the Sanitary Commission, and the other, Geo. W. Lcngley, of Baltimore county,was captured whilst driving a wagon of the Sanitary Com mission near Chancellorsville oh the 27th of November. They were released through the interposition of the Rev. Mr. Petriken. The prisoners brought exciting news from Richmond, which they represent to have been in a state of feverish excitement from mid night on Saturday up to the time they left, at 2 o’clock on Sunday afternoon. At midnight on Saturday the bells of the city were rung arid men were rushing through the streets crying “To arms! to arms—the Yankees are coming.” During the remainder of the night an intense commotion was everywhere visible. The Home Guards were called out, and the tramp of armed men could be heard in all directions, Cannon were hauled through the streets, women and children were hurrying to and fro, and there were all the evidences of such a panic as had seldom been witnessed in Richmond. - On Sunday morning there was no abatement in the excitement. ' The guards were all marched out of the city to the defences, and the armed citizens placed on guard over the prisoners. Horsemen were dashing to and fro, and the excitement among the prisoners to know the cause of all this commotion became intense. It was soon learned that a large cavalry and infantry force, with artillery, had made their appearance on the Peninsula at Bottom’s Bridge, within ten miles of the city, and that Richmond was actually threatened by the Yankees. The same hurrying of troops, arming of citi zens and excitement amoDg the women and children continued during the morning. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, when the pri soners were about to leave in the trace boat, the alarm bells were again rang with great fury, and they left a scene of confusion and turmoil such as they had never before wit nessed in the city. The rumors that prevailed were conflicting and wild. It was their impression that 8,000 or 10,000 cavalry would have found but tittle difficulty in entering the city, liberating the prisoners, destroying the forts and public pro perty, and returning by the Peninsula before any sufficient force to resist them, could be brought to the aid of the small garrison left to defend it. For several days previous to this alarm, the troops in and around the city,to the number of 4000 or 5000, had been sent off to join Lee’s army with great dispatch, the impression pre vailing that a movement was contemplated by Gen. Meade. ! In this they were right, as daring the pro gress of the excitement on Sunday, intel ligence was received that Meade "had crossed the Rapidan. On Monday morning a courier arrived at City Point bringing copies of the morning papers with the intelligence 'that the excite ment had abated, and that it had been ascer tained that the Yankees were falling back from the Chickahominy and had abandoned the attack. . 1 REMOVAL.
