" AUGUST i3.-We have already mentioned. the arrival. the Expedition, under General. MIRANDA on tt,e Spanish Main, and his subsequent. success. We . are now, however, enabled to ,state the par , . tichlars SOlUe„What more. accurately. While Captain was taking, in ibis cargo at. Cape, St. Ro m-ant, on the Spanish Coast, an overland dispatch was received there,: containing accounts of General MiIIANDA having effeaed a landing at Coro, which , is said to be only twelve, hours sail from Aruba ; that he had captured it, and was proceeding up the Country. it was also asserted, that be was daily joined by the Spaniards, and bad had several skirmisnes whit the Government Forces, in all of whicti he had been successful. - The Gentleman . who ttirnished 'the cargo for then Stag stated, that he was obliged to-be under arms the next morn ing at day-light, as every person not tound in arms against 1114 RANA was considered as his ac complice, and instantly executed. MIRANDA is aided by a British korce, ,but the exaEt number is not ascertained'. He had been joined by a British Frigate." New Yoax, SLPT. B.—Captain READWG ) from Cuba, has given us the following interesting Ex tract from his Log-book : " AUGUST 24, 6, A. M. the Moro- Castle bear ing. S. S. W. distant two_ or three leagues--saw a .tpanish Frigate turning to windward for the Ha vannab: A strong 'lClorth-east current, and the , wind at S. W. obliged her. to anchor under a bat ter/ about two leagues from the Moro, where she was immediately reinforced by .ten Gun-boats from the Havannah, which formed ,a line , with her tinder cover of the battery. At eight -o'clock two British F:igates hove in sight. Several shot were fftd at them from the Moro Castle, which they little regarded.. They shortened sail, and hove to, seeming to have communication with each other. At the same time, the Spanish . Frigate's Boats had great communication with the shore, and we learnt they were landing money brought from the Gulpb of Mexico. At twenty.fourpinutes past ten the ,two Zl)glish Fr gates bore down towards the battery; un der which the Spanish horse had formed a line. At MIRANDA's EXPEDITION. Capt. LuctETT, of the Schooner Alert, arrived at Alexandria in twenty days from Curacoa, informs, that by an *arrival from Maracaibo, oft the Main, on the sth of August, the following information was received by a Jetrer from a Gentleman 'there We 'have now at anchor •in Vero Guiph two large Ships, two Brigs, and seven Schooners ; all . of which Fleet appear to be armed, have landed some troops, and drove our men out of a small Fort which they now have in possession : we have not yet been able to learn whether they are British or NI lAxtm." • Another Schooner that arrived 'the day I.left racoa, mentions leaving.the Meet .at an anchor in Vero Guiph. Captain 14 - ,'LDRIO6E,' who arrived on the 6th, was boarded- to - windward of Bom , ir on the sth by a British Sloop of War : the Lieutenant informed Captain Et.patrxi;;,' that Mat.iNDA had seven armed Vessels when they left the Wind ward tilands; and that Admiral COCHRANE had. , forbid the impressment of MIRANDA'S men. It 'was generally believod at Caracoa, when I left - it, that MittANDA was in this Flea, as the British could have no such Fleet in that quarter.

Hanwell was charged by her mistress, Mrs., Garcian, a Jewess, with stealing divers articles of wearing amine), her property. Several Pawn brokers appeared, and produced a quantity of shirts, shifts, and other articles, which had been pawned by the Prisoner at different times. D'lrs. Garcian swore to the goods as her property ; and the Prisoner was fully committed for trial. Several Fruiterers were brought, en summonses; before the LORD MAYOR, and tined in the mitigated penalty of five shillings, for exposing fruit to. sale. in Leadeuhall-market On-Sunday last. BOW-STREET.-011 Monday evening a respeClable tradesman of Ipswich made application to Mr. READ, the Sitting Magistrate, requesting his assistance in regaining his daugiter, who had elOped from him on Flidav last with . .an Officer belonging to the 7.tfi Light Dragoons. Mr, READ immediately dispatched Anthony with the father - and uncle,- and from . some. information which they had received, they went to a house in Prince's-street,- Hanover-square, where they found her alone in bed. The Officer d6ired her to get up'; with which she very Unwillingly:6M plied. The Officer then deliVered her up to her father and , uncle, who received her very cordially, and . the next clay they went out of town, putting her in the coach, and riding in a single-horse chaise, at a Con- Sidera'ole' distance behind. Wheh the coach hltd got a few miles out of town; it stopped at o honge to water t,!le horses, where the young Lady got out, and made her escape from the back 1 art of the house ; it was some time before the lather and uncle came up to the coach, and until then the young Lady was not missed. The father and, uncle imme diately returned to town, and went to the Office again, when Mr. READ sent Pearkes with them, wholbund.her in bed, in the same house, in Prive's street ; the Officer was almost obliged to 1)01 her out of bed ; she, however, got up, and Was again delivered to her relations ; they all three setont yes-. terday morning together, in a coach. She is about 17 years of age, tall, and a very elegant figure. On Tuesday ILiliianz King was brought before Mr: READ, charged with nicking the pocket of Mr. Geo. Pritchard, in the Strand. Mr. Pritchard stated, that as lie wac.coming along the Strand, somebod, walked close'b - ebind him, so as to touch his heels, when Mr. Johnson, a Gentleman who happened to be.passing at the time, said, " Sir, - .your pocket has been picked ;" on which he turned round, and saw the Prisoner running full speed, and throw a handkerchief under a cart. The Prisoner was soon secured. He was committed for further examination. A Mau of the name of Linis, who keeps a Oland-. lef's shop in Staines, was charged on suspicion of having stolen - a 201. Bank note, the property of Counsellor Agar. It appeared that the Counsellor, about two months since, was travelling in a post-chaise into Cornwall; he J topped at the Bush Inn at Staines to take some refreshment, after which he proceeded to Bagshot, where he missed his pocket-hook, containing a 201. Bank note ; he in consequence -sent his servant hack to inquire after it ; ,but couldlearn no tidings of it. The landlord of the Bush Inn caused every pos sible ,inquiry to be made, but in vain ; he caused I Yesterday as a Gentleman was returningAo-his house at Clapham in a one-horse.chaise, one of the traces got loose on the south declivity of BJACkfriars bridge, which frightening the horse,' he ,set ..off at ' Inll speed, and turned down bytheMuseum•Tavdrn, into Upper Ground-street (which is paved and -very narrow) ; nor had .he gone many yards before the chaise came in contaEt with a loaded coal-waggon, when by the concussion the Gentleman was thrown itno the open shop of a blacksmith, ,with such vio lence, that his bead and shoulders were forced through a glass partition of a small counting-house; carrying with him the frame and about, eight panes of glass ; the other part of his body tell on the work sbench, among, the vices and other_ tools. He was taken up senseless, and a Surgeon being, procured, he ordered him to beput to bed in the-house, where his wounds were dressed,, and it was. hoped nond them-would prove dangerous. He remained at the blacksmith's house till evening, when, he;was:Con veyed hbrue. The 'chaise ; was a -complete wreck, the shafts and wheels being shattered. to pieces ;:but the horse •was secured without. having received any in - •Yesterday one of the hackney coaches on the stand in Cheapside being left by the driver, the horses, which were blind, drew it into a large aperture where the workmen were employed mending_ the water-pipes. The traces breaking, the horses were released without injury; but the coach was shattered, and got out with great difficulty. On Tuesday last, as three children of Mr; of Eastliam, accompanied by . a nursery-maid, were walking within a few miles of theft residence, they were met by a farmer's cart returning from London, laden with dung, whose driver, it seems, was sleep ing upon the load : the cart inclining into the foot- . way irlduced the, girl to call out loudly to tire man, but he coup: not be awakened until after one of the wheels bad crushed the girl andlwo of the children (one an infant in her arms) against a wall, and passed . over the legS of the third, a remarkably strong boy, nearly three years old,' which rendered amputation necessary, Snell flagrant condda of drivers of carts should be SeVerely punished ; instances of similaracci denta do not avail, and trivial punishment will not deter them from this' almost habitual custom, of sleeping upon their carts. It is very remarkable, that a cart be -z . longing to the same proprietor, and probably the same cart, owing to the like .cause, went over a man on the . preceding day, and killed him on the spot. Lady }10 . 01) met with An accident in . going on board the Centaur, at Portsmouth, which providen tially did not end as was feared. Her Ladyship, in the tender anxiety to - see her brave husband (Sir S. Hoot)), did not wait for the chair to be hoisted out, and on going up the ship's side, her foot slipped, and she fell into the water. Much alarm was in stantly felt for her safety, it being quite dark (three o'clock in the morning), but the exertions made to rescue her being instantaneous,- her Ladyship was taken safe into the Ship.

The Officer stated, that the day before, in conse quence of some information he had received, he went to* La adenhall-market, and watched there for about three quarters of an hoUr. A party of Jews passed and saw him.: so finding he was observed, be knew there was no use in stopping where he was ; anil therefore shifted his quarters to Cornhill. He had not hem there long when the Prisoner at the. bar ran past him in i . .very.great, hurry, and:going to the corner of Birchin=lane, called out . to a friend of antither notorious . piCkpocket, and after eon-: yersing kvith: him for some time, they both ran down Eirchin-lane. The Officer knew , if they saw' him'they would make their escape, so he elide:l-* vouredie get up 'to them by posting_ hiMself be hind a hackney-coach ; they, however, observed him, and made off. lii about half an hour after he met the Prisoner in Lombard-street, and took him into custody, 'as a rogbe and vagabond. The_Offi :Cer then said, he wished his Lordship would remand the Prisoner fora few days, as, from information he had, he would be able to bring a very serious charge against him. The Prisoner, in his defence, said, he was a sugar merchant;and that it was his intention,on the even ing Of the day be was arrested, to set off for-Graves- end; where his father lived. The Loan Micron, on again inquiring, being sa tisfied of the bad chataCter of the Prisoner, remand ed him for a few clays. POO Levi, Samuel Moses, Godfrey Benjamin, and another Jew boy, all: under the age often years, were put.to the bar on a charge of being notorious pickpockets. The Officers who apprehended them, stated; that the boys were shoestring merchants, and were com plained of by several -- tespeaable inhabitants, for being constantly the habit of stealing pocket handkerchiefs, and being coboerned in- all kinds ,of roguery. -- No person appearing against them, how ever, they were discharged, after having received, au ,admonition from the Loan MAYOR to conduct 'themselves with more .propriety. -One of the boys could not speak a word of English, being only eight days in the country. • A man, named Reddy, was charged with violently assaulting Dr. Johnston,. a respectable - physician in the city.. The Complainant stated,: that the day before he saw the Prisoner in the street, - beating, a -woman in. the most brutal manner. The woman had a child in 'her arms, and the Prisoner hiving - knocked her down over - the child, was about to repeat his blows, when the Complainant called to him not to murder the woman. The Prisoner then turned round, and knocked Dr Johnston down, at the same time tell img him, he should net prevent hitt - 11 - rum chastising his wife.
