NORFOLK, Sept. 8.

On Monday afternoon, the British
squadron under Admiral Warren,
got under weigh with the exception
of five vessels of different descrip-
tions) and proceeded to sea, since
which they have not been heard
from. The ships which remain are
merely intended Gas we presuae) to
assist in the blockade.
1t is about seven months since the
British squadron began to appear in
force in the Chesapeake. in which
time they have achieved nothing that
can add TO the honor. or promote
the interest of their nation.
The only attempt which appears
to have had an important object in
view, was the attack on Crnuey
slaud, than which nothing was ever
more disgraceful to the British
arms.

the flying artillery passing out, the enemy
