NEW-YORK, JUNE 9.—We•learn by Capt. FITZ-
GERALD, twenty days from Santa Domingo, that
a Spanish schooner bad just arrived there, from La-
guira, nn her passage had-been hoarded by
two Spanish Government brigs, dispatched, afti- the
capture of Muttos.;',i \'s schooner,' in the pursuit of
the Leander: • The Expedition of General MisAN-nA
has thus far proved unsuccessful. • , - - •
While we are on the subj-ed of MinANnik.'s Ex-
pedition, we shall notice another article of inte-tii-
genee. On hrs .arrivaloff Barcelona, MIRANDA wrote
a letter to his brother on thOiC, advising him of his
intention, band t-equesting him, his Mother and' Sis-
ter, to retire into the interior,,and to take with them
the most valuable part of their psoperty. MtitANDE!,
Brother was alarmed—and, lest he should Ve. sus-
pe(ited of being concerned in the enterprize, or fa- .
.vouring the views of his, Brother, he;hastened to the
Governor-General df Carrateas..witin the letter. An
immediate alarm was excited, and 'Vessels were dis 7
patched in pursuit of MIRAICOA.. The capttire!of his
two schooners was the result. We also learn, 04
after the engagement, the Leand:er &fopt two days
:Off Bonaie, repaired her . rigging, and put.. to sea:
since -which she has not been 'heard of. •
OnThursday last arrived the schooner &key and
Pea!' Lowyu, seventeen days from CuraCoa ; by
.him
,received information of the capture of two
schooners which sailed from JaCinel with MIR AN-
D4's EXpedition. 'rhe,accoUnt he bad froM a Span-
iard of credit from Porta Cavello, who said the two
schooners were Jaken by a French Privateer, and
'carried into Porto Cavello, where the 'Spaniards be-
ing exasperated. had .executed the whole of the crews,
'He also said, that a number Of the. Spaniards ‘'ylio
were-td haVe joined Miu.A.Nrm: were diScovei-ed, and
that 20 or 30 of them were-hanged almost. daily.
A dreadful:massacre has just taken, place at S.
DOiningo. linndred and fifty Families, com-
prising the .wUOLE REMNANT of the WHITE POkU-
LATION, were strangled ,in their beds-on the night
of the. 27th of May, by order bf DESSXLIFES.'
Ths, fOnOlkirla is thelatest, and indeed the only'
intelligende ill the Papers respeAing i iix.a.NDA : it is
given in the Neu"- York- Eveniv. Post 'of the 9th, en
" the author'ty of a versoti reweetability,"- which
some of the other Papers state, is, sopposed lobe the
Spanish Minister. , .
.`E It is. well known thatMisANDA proceeded from
Jacmel to thelittle,lsland of Aruba, situated a small
_distance. to leeward of Curacoa. He left it about
the i t3th of April; with- the Leander and his. two.
schooners; and Was attenipting. a ' landing towards
the Province of Coro, where his little squadron fell
in with two Spanish Privateers, one of 14, the other
of. I`2 guns, fitted out at Laguira by the Government
of Carraccas. The Leande, after attempting to en-
gage the- stoutest, suddenly withdrew from the con-
test, crowded sail,, and escaped.- --.The' schooners
were left te their. own fate,: and, after a'•triding re-
sistance, struck their colours to the smallest of-the
Spanish Privateers. -
Two- ming Spaniards, who 'were on'board of
one of the schooners, anticipating .their inevitable
. fate, threW themselves overboard, and were drowned.
The remainder were taken and • carried into Porto
Cavello, where they are lodged in sail. Some of the
leading men, young Smith among them, were im-
mediately ordered, up to Carraccas. -
The sehooncrs-were entirely laden with ammu-
nition Of all kinds, and a considerable number of
Prochtmations in the Spanish language, from •Mi-
R A ND/CS' press, conceived, in terms well calculated
to influence the minds' of the SpaniTh colonists. -
" The -filte of the adventumrs taken Intit be la-
mented ; indeed, their criminal rashness will carry
Diatiy of them to the block, as the Spanish GOvern-
meat -considers it in no other light than piracy.
." It would hayebeen much to he wished.for that
no stispiCions had attached to our Government in
this scandalous affair. No great.sigacity is required
to fore Se- that Fiance. and Spain will" call upon us
fir two or three, millionss of dallar4, by way of cam-
penSation !".
