teems of every fa& relative to Miranda's progrefs and appearance of !Ince*. There is a coincidence in this cirenwiflance mod propitious to the fortune and genius of Miranda ; for, having been in the firß instance countenanced and fupported (as far as we can judge from apparent teßimony) by otti Admi ral, the ftrongeft inducements are now held out for the co-affillance of the General ; and it is even al ready kid, that arrangements were making at Tri nidad conjointly between them, for affording imme diate aid towards the furtherance of his undertak ing. As it is, Miranda owed his prefent fucce(s to our Admiral: and we may fairly affert, that but for the countenance he received here, and the naval fup• port afforded him, his efforts mull have beenkenchred abortive, and his whole projed overthrown!' liTiliCT OP • LITTIR nom BAREADOIS. " HisMaletty's doop Dart, Barbadoes, Sept. 26. N You will no doubt have heard, ere this, of the rapid faeces of Miranda, on the Spanifh Main. fly accounts received here yefterday, we learn, that he has intercepted letters from the Spanifh Commander in Chief, to his Government at Madrid, Bating, that be cannot muller more than one thoufand Rand of arms, and that his men are daily deferting to the enemy (Miranda.) The Elephant has left this na tion to join him. When the difpatches came away, be was ftrongly polled at Coro, with intention of marching againfl Co►aeora. 44 There has Mena very revere hurricane and fall of rain at Dolll6llft, which has carried one half of the town of Ronfeau into the felt, with upwards of Soo inhabitants. It is reported to have extended to the iCands of Martinique end Guadaloupe." EXPEDITIONS. We !Isis already dated that the 3d regiment, of Buffs, under the command of Colontl Beller, an able and experienced officer, which left Bexhill Bar racks a few days ago, had arrived at Deal. Report lays they are to be embarked there. The Bth Foot, or Ring's, commanded by Colonel Idotomrox, were alfo expelled to be embarked at Deal, with fame other corps—But if this embarkation was any way cooneded with the military operations in Germ any, it may poCfibly be fufpended for Come days. In our paper of the 31ft ult. we Rated that an in difcriminate order had been iffued, by the General, for the immediate difembarkation of the whole of the Ladies of Officers belonging to the expedition about to fell from Falmouth. We hinted, however, that we apprehended the order had been mikonceived ; and we now find that our fufpicion was well founded. Many are fortunately exempted from its operation; and we even hope the General will yet allow fome More of the Ladies to proceed. This we are afrured of, that he•will do every thing in his power, con fiftent witk user welfare of the fervice, to contribute to the comfort of the Officers, and that his refoludon, whatever it may ultimately be, will be the refult of his own judgment, and not founded on the opinion of tabus, by so *mans qualified to form fo eorred an opinion. " FALMOUTH, NOV. 3. " General CRAUPOID arrived here (At Wynne's hotel) this morning, to take the command of the Expedition.

" The fleet will fail the moment the wind will admit of their getting out of the Roads. It has been unfavourable for force days, but is now North Wef terly. Some ammunition is welted from Plymouth, for the flips of war, and lonic of the tranfports, which is hourly expefled. Four 74 gun (hips, with the NIREIDI frigate, and probably another, h is thought, will conlhtute the naval force of the Expe- Ation. In the Sremcsa, 74 guns, Capt. STOPFORD, ell the fcnior Officer of the fleet. Nothing can exceed die fatisfadion evinced by all ranks in the appoint ment of General CILA0r011.1) to the command of the Expedition. It was that Officer's intention, on his lira arrival here, to perfonally vilit every tranfprt, in order to (edify himfelf regarding the comfortable ituation of the troops on board ; but the unfavour. ablenefs of the wheather prevented the poffibility of his putting this intention in execution. The wants of every wire!, however, he has ordered to be fup. plied, and the fleet will fail completely equipped with every thing that can render the trcops comfortable for a long voyage." HAMBURGH MAIL. Another Mail, the only one due, arrived IA night. The accounts it brings afcertain that the French en tered Berlin on the 24th ult—DavousY's division was the one employed on this fervice. His head-quarters are at Potsdam, and the troops in Berlin are com ttlandesl by General It is (Idled that so,oco Prufrian troop., under the Dukes of WL1.1,18. and BILUNSWICK 061.3, have paired the Elbe, at Have!berg, on their retreat to "iards the Od:r ; beyond which it appears that the Prufrans mean to make a Rand, and where they es• left to alTemble a large force. _ _ _ The accounts by de Mail fay nothing of tic refuli of any negociation, nor do they even mention any noguciation having been propofed by Ptuffia. The Duke of Be iw ICK% requell to Borarilim for the neutrality of his territory, was treated with the utmoll infolence. But the neutrality of Saxony has been acknowledged. ' No official Pruffi.n details have yet been publill ed, fo that all the accounts refpeCting them are very defettlive. It is fuppofed that Come fighting has taken place not far from Stettin on the 27th. Reath troops were expeCted there. The French have committed great metres in di( fermi parts. General Motteau is faid to have pared through Hamburgh oh his way to join the Ruffian army.

Sir Sa muel Hood was the fir& Candidate who took pug on the huffings. Mr. Paull arrived foon after, and the poll went on with varied nieces until twelve. Soon after which it proceeded in a very fpirited manner, and Sir Samuel Hood added largely to his numbers by a great many of the official elcaora giving the gal lant Admiral their fuffrages. Mr. Paull too had every reafon to be fatisfied with his fuccefs, as his numbers were greatly augmented by the exertions of Sir Francis Burdett, who fent at one time upwards of !twenty voters. the majority of whom gave plum pers to this Candidate. About this time a few voters in the intereft of Mr. Sheridan came up to the poll. booth, and voted for him. They were hiffed, hooted, jeered, and laughed at by the people; many of whom declared their Meer was id of the bun nefs, and advifed them to go to Somerfct Houk snd comfort hint. There jokes excited confiders. able nubility in the auditors, but their mirth was foon converted into rage and ill-nature when the poll•books were doled at four o'clock. While the High Bailiff and his affiltants were calling up the numbers, Mr. P. Moore came forward in order to addrefs the elentors in behalf of his Right Hon. Friend Mr. Sheridan. The EleBors refufed to linen to him, exclaiming with wonderful obllinacy and in veteracy, " Off off! No Sheridan ! No apoliate Whip, &c." Mr. Moore Rood this torrent of abufe with great firmnef3, until its vigour was nearly expended, when he obferved that the condua of the Eledors in refufing to lillen to what he had to offer, merely be can& be was the friend of Mr. Sherii an, was cruel in the extreme. Indeed they had not waited for his opening his mouth, but bad clamoured againn him the innant he made his appearance.— Here Mr. Moore was interrupted by loud and incelant roars of Of di So flurening was the tumult that he was unable to proceed, and he put on his hat. Sir S. Hoop next came forward. He briefly Rated, that the objed next his heart, and the greaten of his ambition, was the honour of being eleled one of their Reprefentatives. He thanked the Eleelors for the liberal and honourable fupport they had this day afforded him, and entreated their early attendance at the Poll to-morrow. Mr. Pau LL.—Gendemen, I appear before you a third time, to announce to you the continuance of that fuccefs, which tomorrow, I hope, will end in art entire and complete viCtory over the foes of the Free and Independent Eleetors of Wellminfter. Ynu have once more placed me in that majority which I am perfuaded will, after tornot row, render it unne ceffary for me to trouble my friends any more. Gen tlemen, 'ere you go, let me urge and entreat, that not one of you will in any refpeel give up the fmalleft portion of that zeal and glotious energy, which has been ($) flrongly manifefled in the caufe of the Eletlors of ‘Yeflminlier. I again•repeat it to you, that it is not my with to make an inflammatory harangue. It is abfolutely unneceffary to attempt to roufe your ener gies and zealous exertions; but I mull advert to thole foul and abominable falfehoods, which affeCt you as much as they do me. Gentlemen, I affert that I !land here totally and entirely unconneeled with any of the Candidates ; I with to throw out no afpet firms againfl the gallant Admiral ; I never was, or will be a detraCtor from his merit ; I am not here the calum niator of any man; I defpife the infin.tation—it is made only by your enemies and mine—it is a (tale trick, which we will triumphantly defeat. Gentleman, I (hall trouble you with but a few words more. Some of the Public Prints have flared, that I have purchafed my vote , . I have upwards of t COS votes its my favour, and I tolemnly declare, that I have not Oven a pro mire, or a tingle pot of porter t $ the Electors of Wen minfler. You have, by your ditinterelled partialityito me, moll glorioully .iped away the afpet lon call upon 1 the whole body or Eleaors. It was fait, that any man could obtain three thonfind fuffrages in Weflminfler, if he could but purchafe them—that you would elect, a Porter, provided he would treat you with rlentv or porter. Gentlemen, the neceffary.expence, of a Can didate of courfe I have borne ; brit I declare to you, I hive not given away even a rihband to any Flee tor. We have had a mod glorious triumph thi. day, and, I train, it will not be neceffar y to trouble you many days longer ; but I hope my fliend will continue to come forward early in the morn ing, to fecure my Eleflion againd every effort of our adverfaries. The expences of the ElsOlion you mull be fenfible, are not trilling, particularly when you confider that the purfe of the Trea fury is oppofed to mine and yours. The attempt to defeat the ele/lion of an independent Member mull neceffarily colt a great deal, and Admmillration will try to overcome you, not only by money, but by flra tagem.—Recollea, Gentlemen, that it is nut of the produce of the lases that a Court Candidate is fup ported, and the longer this contell is carried on, the more burthenfome will be thole taxes stitch are ulti mately to defray the expence. Gentlemen, I have done. I return youmy moftfervent and flume thanks. I flatter myfelf you will not defert me, and you hare feen too much of me to believe it polhible I can ewer dcfert you."—larilant The populace then took the honks from his car riage, and dragged him in ttintnph to his boufe in Charles.ftteet, St. James's. .ms...
