On Monday afternoon two line of battle ships and a frigate came into the Capes, and anchored in Lynhaven Bay; one of the ships, we are informed, has an Admiral's blue flag at the main-top-gallant-mast head, from which we conclude that Adml. Warren has arrived We consider this as a fortunate circumstance, as Mr. Swerichkoff proceeds this day in a flag to Baltimore, & will visit the Admiral. The zeal which Mr. Swertchkoff evinces for the success of his mission is a further proof of the sincerity of his government.
