'Five of them were sent to the City of • Caraccas, and the ; remainder , were imprisoned at another place ; 'and it was supposed that several of them Would either he executed or put to the torture. We ' also learn by the same .conveyance, that a 'Brig 0122 guns, two large well-armed 'Schooners, and three Pilot-boats, each carrying one gun, had been sent out to cruize, with the hopes of falling 'in with the other Vessels attached to the Ex 4:edition. We understand that on the Peruvian colours which MIRANDA carried with him, the following words were imprinted in large charaders :—Viva el Rey 'de Espana, y muera el mat Govierno—" Long live the King of Spain, but let his mischievous iernment perish." The ' Fiskar d Frigate, of 38 guns, Capt. Boi:Tiii4, arrived from a ciuize on Thursday evening; 'and on the following day arrived - the . Fortune 'Frigate; of 'J'ti guns, Capt. VANSITTART, with . a French Privateer, of guns and 120 men, 'her :prize ;., andthe armed . American Schooner Ruth, from •Port-au- Prince to Port Royal, with dispatches tb Admiral EtAckas, imit detained by the'Fortane off the Coast of St. Dbmingo. The dispatches are from 'Captain LEwxs,,of the : Ship Emperor (the brother of Capt: 'LEWIS, of the Leander, MIRANDA's V esgel) , 'whey has requested to be infortned:if any official commua-: nication ollthaAt4DA's _proCeedings have 'been 're ceived here, as it was understood at Port-au-Prince 'that, he had' been suceessful 'at the Caraccas, and. was on his 'march to 'possess hiniself of Laguira ; and if that intelligence should proveto be =red . , Capt.-LEwis states, that he . is in readiness. to.em . bark ;his with a considerable.numberof M u latt oes t o go toassistance. The Mediator Frig ate, of 36 guns, from St. An `dreas, and La Renard Slonp'of War, of 18 'guns, captain COGLAi, from a maze \ arrived on Tuesday. The latter Veisel brought in with her the . Frendh Imperial' Brig La Diligente, carrying 14. Bing sixes and two brass 32-pounders.,.and 124 men, .and com manded by Monsieur CHEVEIARD. Sheleft L'Orient about six months aguin order to join the Squadron under Commodore L'HEittrri:‘, -of Le Regulus; of 74 guns, and bad proceeded in search of him to Cayenne, and from thence to Guadaloupe, fram which Island she had sailed on her return to France, with dispatches', when La Renard fell in with.her :between the West end, of Porta-Rico and Zachoa, on the 25th ult.,and after a chace of three days and three nights, as far as hit. i 24. 30. N. long. 65. W. succeeded in capturing her on the 28th without any resistance.' The Brig has a considerable-quantity of ~.naval stores on board. Her Cpmmander (after having been -a few minutes on board La 'Rettard), is stated to have expressed much mortifix:ation that lie should have surrendered to a Vessel apparently inferior in appointment to his own. We learn, by a neutral, lately arrived, that one of MIRANDA'S Vessels had -a warm rencontre with the forte sent to cruize for him, and after having received conSiderable inlury, she escaped with some difficulty. The Captain -is stated to have been kilkd during the engagement, and two Officers, from the fear of falling into the hands of the Spa niards jumped into the sea and- perished. , We understmd by a neutral Which arrived on Wednesday, that MiztarinA's two smaller Vessels . have:been Captdred by some Guarda-ccistas, and ear— riedinto -a Port on the Main. The Hunter Brig, of 13 guns ; 'Captain IiCGLE FIELD, arrived at Halifax from this Island about the 7th of April, and the Success. Frigate, of 32 guns, Captain Avscouom, on the 20th. The Brig Eliza, HARRIS, which sailed from this Port for Halifax, Under convoy of the Hunter, foundered five days :after leaving the island. The Aretitusa Frigates Captain g R TSB AWE., returned to Port Royal yesterday, having been ashore on the Collorados ) where she remained thirteen hours, and was Obliged to throw all her guns overboard. She brought in with her a Sanish Schooner from Car . thagena, bound to the Flavantithi with cocoa and bark, her prize, and has detained the Brig Frientic, MEDCALF, from Honduras to Philadelphia., with rum and log Wood. From the deVastatinn committed by theheavp and incessant rains in the high and low lands of Liguanea, andthe adjacent parishes, both Eastward and West ward, and by the torrents which have poured through 'this city, and swept over the wharves, during the ' course of this week, we fear that accounts of much more serious mischief will be•received. We under-. stand that the River Mimi, in the Parish of Claren don, came down last Week with great violence, by .which circumstance, Dr. JAMES" JOHNSON, a very tespeetable.praditioner of that Parish, was unfortu nately drowned; and we are sorry ,to add that it has been "mentioned that the Rev. WILLIAM R. BAR NITT; Reetor of St. Dorothy,' in attempting, in the early part of this week ) to cross a place called Cut , - throat Gully; a short distance from Spanish Town, in a sulky, was overturned, and perished, with his servant and horse. In the vicinity of this city several, negroes have lost their lives. On Tuesday a negro-man, the property of Mr. STAMP, in endea vonring to save a log of mahogany, which was car- Tied away by the current of water down the Gully, near Putney Lodge, was thrown on his back and swept into the sea. The body of a small boy was taken up on Wednesday from beneath the sand at the lower part of King-street. The road of com 7 munication between the Parishes of St. Andrew and Port Royal, as well as the Hope Road by the Long Mountain, have both been rendered impassable .for travelling on horseback. FRENCH SQUADRON. Arrived the Schooner, Experiment, from Barba- does, by which we learn, that two American's, one called the Independence, the other's name not re colleeted, had brought accounts there a few days before her sailing, of their having fallen in with a French Squadron, consisting of three Line-of-battle Ships and four Frigates, ,cruizing about 30 leagues to windward of that Island., Admiral COCHRANE was then at Atttipa, with the Canada'and Northumber land, 0f74 (Tuns. By the Ship Frederick, arrived at Barbadoes frock "Africa, fprther particulars are received of the French • ` - i - uadroti 'which lately annoyed the trading Ships on that Coast. They are stated to consist or the -Regulus, of 84 guns, Cybele and President, of 40 each, Surveillance Brig, and a Schooner. The Fa rpurite Sloop of War, which they captured, has been commissioned, and is cruizing . with them. Many of the Guineamen ma d e a gallant resist ance, but the Fsederkk was. the only one 'fortunate enough to succeed in repelling their superior,: force. She twice' sustained' their attack on the Bth of,Fe bruary, being at one time engaged with the flrig and Schooner for near two hours ; and. after beat ing them off, had again to combat one 'of : the - Frigates and th e Sl oo p o f War, .frosn which she escaped by night coming on, and anehored in three 'fathoms water.

HOME CIRCUIT. HERTFORD, MONDAY, JULY 2 t.—This morning the LORD CHIEF BARON and Mr. Justice HEATH arrived in this town, and read their CommissiOn for holding the As s i z e s for this County. After bearing Divine Service they proceeded to discuss in their . respe&ive Courts. Mr. Justice HEATH sat on the Crown Side, and the LORD CHIEF BARON on the pivil Side: There were but two Causes tried on the Civil Side, one of which was a question—whe ther an Orchard was demised to the Plaintur or 'Defendant ? and the other—whether a Drain had a right to run through the Plaintiff's grounds ? Both Were uninteresting in the extreme. CROWN SIDE. Iliain ,thiscoe and John Dane were inditied for burglary in the house of Susannah Motile, in the Parish of Much Haddan, in this County, on the , 7th of February last. , Mr. CURWOOD, as Counsel for the Prosecution . , stated, that the Prosecutrix was a ,poor widow wo man, who lived at a place called Tye Green, in a lonely cottage: she was so poor that she received relief 'from the Parish ; yet, notwithstanding that circumstance, she had, by economy, saved what she considered a little fortune—she had, in her store of wealth, a Spanish dollar, a King William and Queen Mary's crown piece, a Queen Anne's half guinea, and it had also happened that a day or two before the robbery she hag sold her only pig to a neigh bouring Farmer, by which she had Increased her •store with a ;pound note and another half, guinea. The whole of her fortune she kept most carefully tied - up in her pocket. On the night of the 7th of February she went to bed a: the usual hour, when about twelve o'clock she heard. a noise in the kitchen of her cottage, which adjoined the room hi which she slept. As there was a man of the name of Fisher who slept up stairs, she thought it was him, until she heard herbed-room door burst open. She called out, " Who is there ? and, what do you want ?" A man replied, ina hollow voice, " I want your ' money. '' She said she had none ;, but the man approached, the bed, and put his hand under her pillow, as she supposed to take her pocket. , , and in fa& he did find them and tore • them from, her. While she was struggling with this man, to endea vour to save her: pockets, she heard another voice at the door, talking to the man near the bed, telling him to take her pockets-or knock her brains out ; and this man then went round the yard, and broke open the door which opened from her bed;room into the yard. When the door was broke open, the moon shone brightly into the room, and she dis tin&ly saw the persons of the two men, whom she linew 'very well, and she was sure they were the two Prisoners at the Bar. One of them, Dane, was her great nephew, and the other, Briscoe, she had known all her life. After they had thus rifled her they both went away, but she was positive as to their , persons. The Prosecutrix proved these facts very distindly ; but beim: , cross-examined by the Common Serjeant, she said she was 84 years of age, and admitted she did not tell the Magistrate until the Ith of April, the reason for which delay. she said was because she was afraid of being murdered if she had said she knew who committed the fad. Mr. Justice HEATH told the Jury he thought it was too much to find the Prisoners guilty on the un confirmed testimony of a Witness, who, from ad vanced age, might most probably mistake the pet sons of the Prisoners. The Jury found them • Nbt They , were tried on a second indi&ment, for a burglary in the house of Thomas Clarke, farmer, at Great Hadham, on the igth of March. Mr. CURWOOD stated to the Jury the circum stances of this case, which was proved by Mrs. Clarke, as follows :—she stated that-they lived in a small farm-house at East Hadham, and•on the 20th Of March, about two in the morning, she was awakened by a crash of breaking open the outer • door. She awoke her '.husband, and immediately jumped out of bed, and hid herself in a corner of the room ; direetly two men rushed into their bed room, and one of them coming up to the bed-side, asked where her husband was ? she told him that he had gone down stairs she believed. They then went to the drawers, which they rifled and went away. While they were in the room she thought she knew the person of Briscoe, and.she believed Dane to be the other man. There was no light in the room, and it was rather a gloomy night, but yet she believed the two Prisoners were the persons Who com mitted the robbery. On crass-examination by the Common Serjeant, it appeared that before the'Magistrate she had, said she only knew them by their voices, The Learned Judge thought this evidence too slight to convift the Prisoners, and dire6ted the Jury to acquit them: Verdid ; •—•Not Guilty. , The very important cause of BA/LLIi, Esq. v. COCK, .Esq. for a Libel, which has excited the greatest inte r est in the commercial world, was to have been tried on Monday, in the Court. of King's Bench, and witnesses, from various parts, 'were brought to town. Lord .ELLENBOROUGH being der the necessity of setting out on hit Circuit this morning, intimated, that if the parties urged it, he would try the cause, asyesterday-, after the other cau , :cs were disposed of, and would sit up all night - if ne cessary. Upon this, the Conusel on both sides foreseeing much inconvelience, agreed to its heir, postponed till next Michaelmas Terth, to which time it NW stands - over.—The Datnages are laid at 50,0001. We , have heard that a man was killed by the light ning last Friday night, at' TetTcnt ; bin have not learned his name, or any, other particular. We yesterday gave an account°, a young woman, late servant in the family of Mrs. 'HoOKHANi, of Argyle-street, who was found ilia singulariiimion with her throat ,cut. After, the untbriunate 'wo man had been conveyed to the Hospnal, a seav:h was made for the instrument with Nvhich the wound was inflided, and in '9O doing, a dead child w:ls found concealed near the spot where, the wrotchtsti woman was taketh from, as ,was also a knife. The child was taken to the Hospital, where the sup posed mother lies, and, an inquest will sit on the body this day, The woman is still alive.
