. w~ al!y~Vfl7~Ol0ti?. AMERICA. MIRANDA'S EXPEDITION. NSW Yoke, Joss 28.--By the fchooner. Pearl, Capt. Gould, from Porto Rico, we learn, that the French frigates, Hortenfia, Hermione, Rhiea, and 'Matins, under the command of Capt. Someruelas, from Cadiz, attired at St. John's, Porto Rico, on the igth of May, and failed again on the 113th in purfuit of General Miranda, they having been informed he was off Bonaire. Joe, a7.—Capt. Robbins left Laguira on the 4th of Jane, and Rates, that at the time of his failing, Miranda was fortifying Aruba. The Rory, fo often teiterated, of the capture of his two (charmers, is confirmed beyond the shadow of a doubt. They were taken without refißance, whill waiting for their boats, which had been fent to windward of Porto Cavello for provifions and water, by a Spina King's brig and fchooner. The crews were prifoners at Por to Cavello, and the King's Lingnill had gone from Laguira to examine them. two perform named Smith *ere among the captured. The Britifh had not • given to the expedition of Miranda any affilianee. FROM THE NEW YORK GAZETTE. New You, Jura 25.—The enterprife of General Miranda, in my (hip Leander, haying excited great intereft in the public mind, which has, for fume time p aft, been deceived by various ridiculous and un founded rumours, I think it proper to give publicity to the following extra& of a letter I have jolt received from a gentleman of refpeesbility on board the Le t ander, the correttaefs of which may be relied on.

OODIII. 0 We left Jaquemel on the a7th of March, Arrived at the ifland of Aruba on the 9th of April, whence, after taking in firtlleient water, we failed on the ajth of April, and being off the Main on the a7th, near Porto Cavello, we fell in with a Spanifk brig, of so guns, and a fchooner of 10 0 , by both of which we were attacked, and had an &Rion of half an hoar, but no apparent damage done on either fide. How. ever, during the contelk, we were fo unfortunate is to ' lore two schooners we had chattered at jaetteentel. en board of which each were about fio men. This t cirestrnßance was occa6oned by thole fchootters fal ling to leeward, and our not being able to feparate the brig from the fchooner, in which cafe we certainly A , old have fared our little convoy. " However, to remedy this evil, we immediately determined to go to Trinidad, to obtain (itch infor mation and affiflance as the Britifh might be difpofed to afford us. a On our way we fortunately fell in with the Bri tifh loop of war Lily, Capt. Campbell. who received us with much cordiality, and informed us it was his - particular inftruetsons to ferve us ;at the fame time advifing us to put into Grenada, as the Governor of that ,fland had fume particular communication to make to General Miranda a We have already received the Governor's giro ranee of the moll prompt co-operation. We (hall probably take up one or two days at 'net in making the neceffary arrangementshere, and (hall then pro ,ceed immediately to Trinidad, in company with the Lily (loop of war, where, we underaandi the Gover nor of that ifland will alto give us every affiance that is neceffary. 41 The Jafon frigate is now on the coat, with a number of volunteers on board ; this (hip is comman • ded by Captain Cochrane, fon of Admiral Cochrane, who, we underhand from the heft authority, has par. ticular inttruaions to proteit and forward our enter prize. I have now the happinefs to obferve, that this I new turn to our operations has given much anima don to all friends on board the Leander, and I lift men hope my next will inform you that our glori. dos enterprize is fully accomplifited." We underhand that a number of impreffed Ame. rican seamen have been diftniffed from Britifh men of war, by application of the American Agent to the Admiral at Port Royal, Jamaica. Jura 24.—Capt. Pteeman arrived at Bolton on Monday, the i 6th init. from Madeira. June tsth, ei Cape Cod, was fired at and brought to by the &kith cutter Adonis, Capt.
