v From the Berkshire Reporter.
The following is extracted from a letter written
i by Henry lngersoll (son of Mr. Jonathan Inger
soll, of Stockhridge) to his brother-in-law, the
late Thomas Allen, esq. of this town, 'dated at
" Carthagena, October 26, 1806, received from
* New,York. • '
** Dear Brother,V-- * * - *’%>'
™ “ I embrace a very uncertain '.opportunity' of .in
forming my friends of my unhappy situation, f
litft New York under promising circumstances, in
good spirits, ant} with an idea of soon returning to
enjoy with my friends the reward of industjy and
prudence—but, alas! vain hope! behold me ncfw
doomed to groan in a foreign country, under the
galling chains of slavery, for a term Of TlfN years,
deprived^pf liberty, ami all b hold dear in life.
“J shall give you a particular account of the
expedition m which I was* engaged, as well as whist
happened to myself and Francis de Miranda, (born
in this country) with the assistance of a few friends
in the United States, fitted out the Leander, capt.
Lewis, with the intention of revolutioiiizing’some
of the Spanish provinces in South America^" Col.
Smith, 61 New York, was Miranda’s, principal a
gent in engaging the men to go on the expedition,
kept the destination of it secret, but assured
them it was fair and honourable, and likewise au
thorised by the United States. There was a com
pany of dragoons engaged under the idea of guarding
the mail from the City of Washington to New' Or
leans; A numbeiydf officers engaged who were fd
take command of tli^compames, &c. at their des
tine! port—four printers, besides myself, were like
wise engaged—the whole amounted to about two
uuuurea. : *• ^ ^ {*■ *:■'
“ \\e sailed frrtm York the 2d of February,
1806’, in fheLeander of In guns, arrived at Jacque*
mel the IT'tfi, where we lay until the 2/th March,
during which time two schooners were chartered
for tbeexpedition, viz. tSeEee and the Bacchus—the
former of which I was fflfton board, together with
two of my fellow printers, as well as lf> of the
dragoons and 4 officers. On board the Bacchus,
ihe other two printers, besides a number of officers
and men, were ordered. The reason of this was,
to make room on board'the ship for a number of of
ficers; who came from Port au‘ Prince—--among
Whom was GeoTge W. Kirkland, who came in the
capacity of colonel of infdntry. During the time
we remained in Jacquenjel, I grew very suspicious
of the designs of Miranda, and wished to leave
him-and his expedition and return to America, but
was not allowed. .. s' ^ ;* /
■ “ We-sailed from Jacquemel the 27th of March.
Nothing material occurred until the 2?th of April,
when we arrived at Cavallo, on the Spanish Main,
•where it was intended to make" a landing near that
place; but twoguarda coaster* appearing in sight,
we stood for them till neirtifght, when not being
able to find out their force", we stood off from land
that night—the next day we came to an action,
when the schooners Bee and Bacchus were taken.
Capt. Muddle, of the Bee was killed. *The Leamler
cowardly deserted us, and made her escape. We
Were taken into Porto Cavallo, there put in irons
and confined in a most loathsrStne prison, with
scarce sufficient air to breathe. In a few weeks our
trial took place—the result of which, was that TUN
were condemned to be hanged and beheaded at Porto
Cavallo, viz. Miles L. Hall, late of Leno.X; Francis
Farquarson, Charles Johnson, J. Ferris, Gustavus
Adolphus Burgadd, Thomas Billops, Daniel D.
Kemper, James B. Gardner, Thomas Donahue, and
Paul T. Cieoige." Tltf*irsentence was dated the 12th
July, and read thodjOth —the execution took place
the 21st in the presence of all tjie prisoners. At
the same time fifteen were condemned to ten years
slavery in the Castle of Otnou, among whom I am
iflassed—thirteen for the same term to Porto Rico
and nineteen for eight years to Boccp Chica.—
Shortly after our trial we were oidered froui Porto
Cavallo to Carthageha, where we now remain,
waiting an opportunity to be sent to our respective
pine^, a .
“Such has been the fate of Miranda’s expedition,
as far as f know, which i think could not have sail*
ed froth N. York without the knowledge of the go
vernment of the United States. ,I& however, it
did sail without her knowledge, I am-convinced
that if she knew jnf the manner in which her 'citi
zens went* deluded from New York by col. Smith,
John Fin, and others, she would intettede for their
liberty, and punish those who fittedrarot a vessel in
one of her ports, with the intention of committing
depredations against a nation With whom she is at
'peace.' *// ’’1' v
“ Not knowing what course the government of
the United States steers, I'wish, if she interests
herself.in the affair- of Miranda, you would exert
yourselves'on the side of humanity in procuring the
liberation *!" her unfortnimte and deluded citizens,
.who are now suffering in prison/or Miranda and his
■followers.’’.^^-',

from the hon. gentleman for the exercise of one of
the first privilegiftpf a member of parliament; that
of calling upori bifr' majesty’s ministers expla
nation upon any great and important subject. In
answer to the right hon; gentleman’s questions; 1
shall declare, a3 far as I can, consistently with my
duty’, what is this state of the present administra
tion-of tins country; adding drily, that with regard
U> those circumstances which .I do not at present
feel at liberty to divulge, I shall rely on the candour
and indulgence of the bouse* trusiin|'that they
Will believe that no man is more anxious than my
self that my conduct should stand fair with the
house and the country ; and consequently,' t$kt the
time must come when my’ duty to the king arid to
the publick,' and every ^fonsideration of private hoc
‘Ooi.tr will induce m*to i&kearr explicit statement
of the present occurrences. In the mean time, I
shall proceed, under the. restrictions which I have
mentioned to feply to the questions of the hnnotr
ra|tle gentleman. Tin one of thos^ questions J do.
not feel myself authorised at present to give an an-!
swer: it is that One, which alluded to a rumour,
which, if^ true, would,'• as’tire "honourable gentle
man has implied, impute culpability to his majes
ty’s ministers, -namely, that his majesty’s ministers
bad endeavoured to force on the king a measure
which his conscience <|isapproy§fb On this point
I will only say, that it is the dht^rAny minister,
on any subject connected with the interests of this
great empire,vto offer 6uch advice to his majesty as'
his judgment shall dictate—(ticar, hear, from the
opposite bendh /J—More I cannot now say. With
regard to the rest of the questions pt*o|losed by the
honourable gentleman, it only remains for m* td
add to the statement which I made wheu I signified
my inteotioh of not moving f<?r the eecbhtrreading
df the Religious Sects Bill, that the circumstances
which then prevented me from doing so,‘have led
to a situation in which I am now enabled to inform
the house that, although I have not yet received
ijts majesty’s commands-to deliver up my seals, his
majesty has thought proper to send for persons
not employed -as hii servants, and is engugefTifi
forming arrangements for a new administration,” ,

The Eftipefor Hapoleon rises ertrly in the''thorn

he goes to hath, the water of which is made of

impurity of his blood, which is visible upon his
Iskin. Ashe can never be a moment idle, and

is instructed not to pass by any expressions, or to
