The Semillante frigate, on Monday last weighed anchor and proceeded to Lynn-haven bay, where she came to, in a heavy fog within half a mile of the British frigate Andromache; but on finding she was so contiguous to a "fraternal embrace," she immediately returned (as we are told) to her old station. It is said, that a vessel from L'Orient, which arrived yesterday, brought the officers of the Semillante a great many letters, some of which, it is rumored, do not very highly approve of her staying here during this season of the Yellow Fever. There being two English frigates here now, he has a fair opportunity to shew her skill, and, if unsuccessful, she could lose no honor in being taken, when two to one against her.
