The Herald of the 27th gives the following as the
situation of affairs :

" The conflicting reports of the last few days
relative to the situation of affairs in and around
Washington have received a somewhat satisfactory
solution in the intelligence which we are enabled
to give in our columns to-day, at least as far as the
movements of the regiments despatched from the
North are concerned. It is certain now that the
7th Regiment of New York and the Massachusetts
Regiment have arrived safely in Washington. The
7th and a part of the Massachusetts Regiment took
the line of march from Annapolis early on Wednes-
day and reached the junction at 10 o'clock on
Thursday morning. From this point they took the
train for Washington, where they arrived in the
afternoon and marched through Pennsylvania-
avenue to the President's house, and thence to the
War Department. The train which took them on
returned to the junction at 4 o'clock in the after-
noon, and carried the remainder of the Massachu-
setts Regiment to the junction, where they were
ordered to remain and guard the road. The 7th, it
is said, rebuilt the bridges and repaired the road on
their route.

" The steam transport Baltic, which arrived hera
yesterday from Annapolis, which port she left on
Thursday morning, reports that the 12th Regiment
had started for Washington, and were then 12 miles
on their march to the junction, and as the road was
open, the gallant 7th had already passed safely over.
There is no doubt that the 12th reached Washing-
ton in a few hours. In all probability, the. 71st and
6th Regiments, which left New York on the same
day (Sunday last), also arrived at the capitol in the
wake of the 12th.
" The steamer Wyoming, which arrived at Perry-
ville, Maryland, yesterday, reports that when she
left Annapolis, at 10 o'clock yesterday rooming,
two steamers of the New York fleet had just arrived
there, the Marion and the Montgomery, with the
brig of war Perry as convoy, and that the 69th
Regiment was then disembarking. As the 69th
went on the James Adger, however, it may be that
the officers of the Wyoming were mistaken either
as to the names of the New York steamers or the
regiment then disembarking at Annapolis; but as
the whole fleet, which left here on Tuesday, com-
prising the Alabama, with the Bth on board; the
James Adger, with the 69th; the Marion with the
13th (Brooklyn Regiment); and the Montgomery,
with the cavalry troop of the Bth, together with the
brigch Chesapeake,
aY, were seen at anchor in the
