When the Marquis de Cafa Yrujo
lakes a difpafiionate view of the cir
cumftances conneded with general
Miranda’s vifit to Wafhington, his
fubfequent conduct here, and clearly
afcertains that the perfons accompany
ing him in the Leander, were not in
formed of his projects and- plans, he
will permit his benevolence to expand
•nd (helter all thofe taken in the
fchooners,from harfh treatment and un
merited pument, he will induce the
government of his country to view the
queftion in other lights than thofe
which may tend to expofe it to more
fevcre animadve r fions than have hith
erto been made, or to the routing of
that fpirit of indignation, and refent
ment, which if once permitted to burft
forth, cannot fail of being attended
with ftrong marks of juft revenge.
With refped to my fon, he was
not made acquainted with the plans of
General Miranda, he wenr with him as
a young companion, to (hare his for
tunes and his fate, he was accompanied
by fome of his friends capable of deeds
of hardihood and valour—worthy their
leader— worthy his caufe.
Whatever may be the fituation
and fate of the perfons taken on board
the fchooners, 1 can never tacitly fanc
tion the lafh of tyranny on his aflb
ciates, and (natch my fon from a par
ticipation in their fate, whatever it may
be. Nothing but the Marquis’s want
of an acquaintance with me, can plead
in excufe for the indelicacy of his pro
portion* Do me the favour, my
friend, to allure him, that were I in
my fon’s fituation, I would not com
ply with his propofals to fave myfelf,
and I would not Caft fo great an in
dignity upon my fon, my family, and
myfelf, as to (belter him under the
Ihield of infamy and difgrace. I have
no doubt that the Marquis will give
fuch advice to the governor of Carac
as* and make fuch a ftarement to his
k’ n g, (by whom I may have the hon
our to be perfonally recolleded) as will
induce them not to tarnifh the digni
fied charader of the Spanifh nation by
any ads of paflion and barbarity con

He informs you, he has juft re
ceived from Caraccas a lift of the names
of Americans taken by the Spaniards
on board of Miranda’s fchooners, that
the name of Smith is twice found in

and grandfon to Mr. Adams, and fays
that he fhould be very happy, by a
timely and immediate interference, to
fave the life of the unfortunate youth,
grandfon to the venerable Mr. Adams
and his worthy fpoufe, he having no
doubt but the greateft part of the A
mericans will be put to death. But,
to render this interceftion effectual, he
requires, as the only condition, that I
difclofe to him, through you, on my
word of honour, all'the knowledge I
have of Miranda’s plans, of his intend
ed points of attack, of the perfons with
whom he has connexions in Caraccas,
