MIRANDA'S IaPSDITION.

FROM A BALTIMORE PAPER OF OUT. 17.
" Capt. Briggs arrived yesterday from Curracos,
reports, that he was at Aruba sus weeks ar, at
which rime Miranda was in possession of that island.
Captain B. sold part or his cargo to the British ves-
sels under diredion of Miranda, which consisted of

the Galatea, of 36 guns ; Bacchante, 28 ; L.tly, sloop,
22 ; brigs littera Iva, 13 ; Express, 18 ; two schoon-
ers heavily armed, and the Leander 23, with several
schooners es transports. The troops were about
GOO in number.

•' Capt. Briggs dined with the General, who in.
formed him that the reason of his falling out with
Lewis (former Captain of the Leander), was, when
the Spanish brigs attacked the Leander, she beat
them off with ease—they then bore down on the two
schooners, which had fallen to leeward, and in
shore—the General requested Lewis to pursue, hilt
he would not, by which means the schooners were
captured. He also informed Captain B. that he was
net beat out of but that he left it for Aruba,
IMO the troops, 5,000 in number, that he expected
' daily from Barbadoes •and Jamaica, attended by a
64 gun-ship, should' arrive. The General had no
doubt of succeeding. and had with him several Spa-
niards from the Main. Capt. B. conversed with se-
' veral of the Spaniards, and their opinion was, that
he must succeed.
The accoants from Miraada in Anglin say,
that he was m expeetation of aid from the English
Fleets on the-West India station, and then was to
leave Aruba for a part of the Main. 'rho frigate
tiastws had joined him, and the Osprey was exped-
ed. But sitimess bait got into his little fleet, though
no signs of despair appeared "•
Colonel Wuon, in honour of his eleetion to re.
present the county of Brecon, in Parliament. gave
a most splendid ball at the Town Hall, in Brecon,
on Friday night last, which was honoured with the
presence of all the principal families of the county
nail borough.
