BOSTON, MAT 10.
Capt. Cutter, arrived at Portland, from Martinico,
which h- left about the 29th April, informs, that he
saw Trinidad Papers, receivse there the day before
he sailed, which say. that Miranda had taken Mar-
garet& Cumana, Barcelona, and Carraceas ; that
immediately after landing, he was joined by 16,000
Colonians ; that the current report was, the United
States were at war with Spain. and that the esp-di-
tion was fitted nut by the United States Govern-
ment. Barcelona and Cumana surrendered with-
out resistance.
PRILAOLLPIIIA, WAY 14.

Yesterday arrived the Attire, Captain Vernon
30 days from Porto Cavalin. Sailed from thence
the I ith ult. at which time the alarm was subsiding,
AS no attempt had been made on the coast by Mi-
randa, or any intelligence received from him. In-
formation had been received there from La Guira,
to the 10th April, at which time the American vet•
scls were loading.

BOSTON, MAY 20.
Accounts from Porto Cavallo to April 13, and
from Li Guita, to April 23, furnish no information
of the arrival of Miranda at the Carraccas ; nor 4
411 insurreelion there. These accounts render the
late reports improbable.

Mose flarrisn OUTILAOI“.—AmoV,er daring
outrage upon the independence and sovereignty of
this country has been committed by his '•Sacred
Majesty'," It igate the Ckepaira, who boarded one
of our regular trading ships, the Aims, Perry,
master. from Londonderry, wiihi• two lest art of the
And. in Jaar.fsh.aa. scab r, •ed 4fler • prld had been
re:Tecral ea heard, and violently carried off one Ame-
rican citizen. f 4 MEG passengers coming to reside
in this country. one woman (wife to one of the
impressed), and an apprentice boy.
This .• damning seed" was done on Sunday
evening la►t, attended aith all the insolence and
cruelty with which " His Majesty's" people are
wont to honour as rushes ; and the Lieutenant, to
give an- undoubted proof of his cuspate, severely
wounded with his sword a young man who had at-
. tempted to secrete himself item the outrage.
Many of the passengers possessed considerable
' property on board the Eh:a; they were dragged off
without being permitted to make any arrangement
for the preservation thereof for their children or
relation, witliont any clothing, save what happened
to be on them!
The Cinapafra, we are informed, proceeded for
Notfolk; to take in provisions and water. We hope
the citizens of that place will evince the same patri-
otism and spirit as those of New York have done,
and denT the " man-stealers" the tights of hospi•
tality. They deserve the execration of all good
men.-18.211. Awes..

The Centincl of yesterday says. " We have given
sense proceedings in the Howse( Lords on the subs
jefl of intercourse with the United States.—Whest

American may well blush tor the inferiority in man-
ners and magnanimity of her legislators." It ought
to be remembered. that we have never injured the
English ; the English have injured us. They can
doubtless keep cool, and so could our American
Statesmen, if they were circumstanced like the En-
glish Statesmen.-•-/ Isokf. CA:snick. /
From the intelligence now ascertained, of the
eleaion of Representatives to the neat General
Court. there is every reason to believe, that the
majority of the House of Representatives will be
decidedly democratic. If this should unfort9a
sateh be the case, we shall have occasion to wit-
ness, hair far the spirit of party may be restrained
by a principle of justice and :magnanimity, or how
far is will proceed in the gratification of its revenge-
ful passions.
