The following has been received at the Xavy Department from Admiral Porter: Flagship, Malvern, off Fort Fisher, the 14th. I have tlie honor to Inform you tbat operations have been resumed against tbe fort at the entrance of the Cape Fear riv. er. Since tbo first attack on tbot place, and subsequent to tbe withdrawal of tbe ironps, I have beeo employed In filling tho ships with ammunition a od coal. The dif Ocalties we have encounlercd no one can conceive. All our work bad to be done with the danger vewels anchored on tho coast, exposed, yon may almost say, at sea 10 violent gales that blow here almost In- ccssantlr. uo iticee gale the rebels de- pended to break up pur communications.

At 9:30 n. m., the fort opened npnn them a they nppronrhed, but they quietly took up their old position, within 1,000 yards ol Fort Fisher. When ready, they opened their batteries. In this way I led the en cmy to engage tho monitors, so that we might sec what gum lliey bad, nnd see where we would be able to dismount them by onr fire. Quite a splrltcJ engagement went on between tlte fort nnd tho Innclnd monitors. It was nnpsrcnl that the iron vessels had the best of it. Tlte rmbrauirr began to diapirar, and the southern nngtc of the fort began to took very dilapidated. The gnno were silenced one after another.' Only one hrnvy gun In tbe southern angle kept np Its fire. The fire of this gnu was not accurate, m It luUistcd no damage nn vessels which It struck several times.

The Richmond Whig of this morning contain the follow ing: Tlie unweleoms new of tho fall of Ft. Fisher, oommandinz the entrance to Cape Fear River, was made known Ibis morning, and occasioned a sensation of profound regret. The capture of the fort Is equal to the cloilng of the harbor of Wilmington by the fleet of the enemy. It Is situated abont 18 mile Wow the city, but was tbe miln defence to the entrance oftherlrer. Its full will prevent then', rival am departure of blockade runner. How fur tlie reverse may prove luiurlons to our cause, remains to be seen.
