Cadogan, yesterday, from a A Spamiah selamMar s prize to Les Repels brig, -strived rette'rday. We are at length enabled to present our readers With a correct relation of the movements of that dis• tinguished Officer, General Miranda, as Capt. Led lie, of the Columbian army, entrusted with dis patches from the General, addressed to the Naval and Military Commanders on this stition, sailed from Vela de Coro, on the night of the 9.h inst. in the tender of the Lifysloop of war, arrived at Aruba the following morning, and came in La Rapes. brig to thisislaad. We understand through this Gentle. anon, that Gen. Miranda sailed from Trinidad on the 24th July. with the following vessels ; Laias 18 guns, Capt. J. Campbell ; Ailwater, It; gums, Lieutenant Carr; Isprees, 10 sans; Precast, schemer ; three gun-boets ; American private armed ship, Leander. 18 guns, Capt. Johnson ; American brig Coavaalere Barry, and private Eng- Leh schooner Trimmer ; having on board a cons,. derable reinforcement of men enlisted under his standard ; and arrived on the 2.1 instant off the port tat Vela de Coro. where on the 3J they were j 'load by the ilece4 tote of 2 ) guns. Capt. Dacres, which tassel assisted in covering the disembarkation of the troiips and marines, who. with the co-operation of the armament, took possession of two batteries, mounting 19 pieces of cannon, of various calibres. with ammunition, &c. and on the earns night marched to the city of Cora, distant about four leagues, which entered at four o'clock the ea- sting morning, without meeting any opposition or consequence ; the whole, of the li.ss on these days ktdounting ably privalp killed, 'Lieut.-ell'. Kirkland, and ---LFitzwilliaun, Esq Secretary to General Miranda, and iix men woullded, but who, we are happy to add, were left in a fair way of re covery. The object of this Officer's mission is, we are in formed, to obtain troops and shipping to assist the General in his enterprise. AUG. SA. The Frrrit brig, of IS guns, the Hon. Captain Cadogan, sailed on Sunday morning for Coro, on the Spanish Main, having on board Captain James Lodtte, of the Columbian Army, who returns with answers from Sir Eyre Coote and Admiral Dacres, to the dispatches addressed to them, and received here on the lith inst. from General Francisco de Miranda. We understand that the Heads of our Govern ment have expressed theniselaes in high terms of approbation of the laudable purposes which General Miranda is aiming at, and regret mach that they are precluded from giving him the assistance which his views demand, as they cannot take so great a responsibility on themselves, not having had any communication from His Majesty's Mi nisters upon the loubjciet. It is much to be la ;neatest, that no assistance could be afforded the General from this quartet, as we are well assured that a few hundred men, tolerably disciplined, would have cif/rifted all he wished for in a few weeks—a junetion with a considerable body of men now encamped ready to join him ; but which he cannot attempt with the force at present ander his command. On General Miranda's debarkation at Coro, he immediately issued considerable numbers, printed in the Spanish languor, on a large type, of the following PROCLAMATION: Don Francisco do Miranda, Commander in Chief of the Co. luiebian Army, to the Inhobitants of Columtdan America.

MS NI/015TV% order for the dissolution of Par li.ament is expened to appear in Thy Gaune ol to. morrow night. Meantime, as may be seen by the Advertisements in a preceding column, an aeliva canvass has commenced in this metropolis, and, we understand, in every other part of the kingdom.— Earl react , and Mr. SHEItIZ AN start for West minster. Mr. kleason has also announced his in tention to claim that high honour. It is thought, however, to be only a threat to induc• Government to forego any opposition to him in his canvass for the Borough of Honiton, for which he set out on Friday. Mr. THORNTON, Mr. TIIIII4IY. and S.r I'. Tuirron, start for lb. Borough of Soatimpt.— Mr. livrio and Sir F. BURDETT do net apprehend any opposition for Middlesex. In the City, how. ever, a contest is expetted. Sir J. W. AtinaasoN declines, and Alderman SUAW expels to succeed him. Mr. WAtrtsxAN. however, we understand, means to offer himself a Candidate. A Mail arrived on Saturday, from Jamaica, brought to Falmouth by the Diane packet, in thirty- See days. It has brought Papers to the 7th of Sep tember, from which it appears, that Mastaasaa had not advanced on the Continent of South America with so much rapidity as was expeCted. Oa the yth of Angust he dispatched a Messenger to the Naval and Military Commanders at Jamaica, requesting aniitance. The' Messenger arrived at Jamaica on the 15:h, and on the 24th he was sent beck with an answer, that the Naval and Military Commanders at Jamaica, did not feel themselves authorised to send him any assistance, without instraitions from Government. At the time that MIR atio• dispatch ed the Messenger to Jamaica, which was several days after he landed, he had not advanced beyond Coro. These papers do nut contain any intelligence re spelling the British squadron in the West Indies. The Etias, HArr, arrived at Jamaica, from Philadelphia, fell in with a French squadron cf five sail of thedine, on the 16th August, in lat. 27. I mg. Gri. When Capt. Harr first saw them, they were standing to the northward, but, on observing the El;z,, the squadron tacked and stood after her, to the southward ; having come up, they wore and stood to the northward. They particularly inquired if a twe•decker and a frigate had arrived in Ame rica. These etissela.were evidently Admiral GCIL. LAUSIII% sqnadron. Tise Veterov, itltol4ls BONA. 'a ship, was probably the two-decker for which the intfiltPy was made. (laving received various accounts of the nature and extent ot the recent disturbances in the r.orrh west of Ireland, we have taken pains tome/main the rest case, and have this day the pleasure ot submit ting it to our readers. It has been colleeled, by a gentleman resident in the county of Leitrim, upon whose veracity and discrimination every reliance may be placed, and who had every opportuaity of corning at the truth. Letters and Papers, of the 16th instant, have been received from Holland, but they do nut notice the commencement of hostilities between the French and Prussians. BONAPAITI's head-quarters, as we stated in a former Paper, were on the 4th at Bam berg. According to accounts from that place, of the 9th, they still remained there ; be had been joined by the di►isions of Souvr, DAVOVST, and Baarr•nor r a, and hostilities were expefled to commence on the ltth. That Btria r heackuarters should have remained so long at Bam►erg, is easily accounted fur. The rig!.t cf the French and the left of the Prussians were there in view of each other, and any approximation, on ei ther side, must have brought on a battle. M.
