The dispatches are from Capt. Lewis, of the ship Emperor {the brother of Captain Lewis, of the Leander, Miranda's vessel), who has re quested to be informed if any offidal communica tion of Miranda's proceedings have been received here, as it was understood at Port-au-F i rinte, that he had been successful at the Caraccas, and was on his march to possess himself of Lagulra and, it that intelligence should prove to be correct, Capt. Lewis states, that he is in readiness to embark with a con siderable number of Mulattoes, to go to his assist ance. We learn, by a neutral lately arrived, that one of Miranda's vessels had a warm rencontre with the force sent to cruise for him, and that after having received considerable injury, she escaped with some difficulty. The Captain is rated to have been killed during the engagement, and two Officers, from the fear of falling Sum the hands of the Spaniards, jumped into the sea, and perished. INDIA.

Captain Bathurst fell in with this ship on the 21st November, near the Isle of France, to which place she wasapparently bound; she had made two voyages from the French Islands to Batavia and the Moluc cas, and had on board a very valuable cargo, con sisting of spices, coffee, and sugar. his Majesty's ship Terp4 hire, Lieut.

THE BRICTISH PRESS. • LONDON, WEDNESDAY,. JULY 23. We have received Calcutta papers to the 15th of February, from which we have made some extrafts; but the most important part of their contents has been anticipated by the late overland dispatches. The Omnium left off yesterday at 71. and the Consols for the opening at fib. They had been, in the course of the day, 641. This rise was partly attributed to a report, that the Speech, to be de livered this day at the close of the Session of Parlia ment, avows the existence of a Negotiation fcr Peace between this country and France. The investigation of a certain delicate and im portant business, it is now said, was committed by His MAJ Ls r y to three Members of the Privy Coun cil, viz. the Lord Cies Picasso a, Earl Steve ea, and Lord GRENVILLE. One subjcct of inquiry, accord ing to report, respected the birth of a child four years old, educated under the immediate eye of Her ltoy.li Highness the Princess of WNW'S, and who is ascertained to be the child of persons in a very humble rank of life at Deptford. 'Upon this head the Commissioners hate reported in the most positive and satisfactory manner in favour of her Royal High ness. The second general head of examination is said to refer to rumours of indiscreet and questionable conduit; and to these points, the Ladies of the Pi in. Gess . ' Household, and almost all the persons of ail ranks in her immediate service, have been exa mined. The Commissioners are said to have signed a very interesting opinion on the points stated in ti -se depositions ; and the whole of the Report has been presented to His NI AMITY. It is said, that he has been pleased to dire!, that copies of all the Deposi tions, and of the Repirs, should be transmitted to Their Royal Kahnesses the Prince and 1) -: -- eu of WALtS.
