BOLEM QUIS DICERS FALSUAS AUDEAT

LONDON,-'
FRIDAY, JULY 11,
,1806.

Admiral Llkrots solicited, permission some time
ago to return to France, on -his,. parole, in conse-
quence of his wounds ; but the Admiralty were un-
der the necessity of refusing his request, as the
French Ministry
.of Marine. had omitted to send
back an equal number of British Officers in ex- •
change for the French Officers who have been per-
mitted to return to France. We understand that
the Board of Admiralty had also determined that no
French Officer should be permitted to return home
until the French Government had complied with the
regulations agreed upon tespeaing the. Exchange of
Prisoners. We have reason, however, to believe the
•
difference which subsisted Upon this subje& has been
adjusted, as the French Admiral DumANont, and the
four Captains who were captured by Sir R. STRACHAN,
were permitted to embark at Plymouth, on Wed-
nesday last, for Morlaix, on their Parole.

According to the accounts in, the AmeriCcin Pa-
pers, which we have received to the 14th ult.. the
expedition of MIRANDA has totally failed. The ac.:
counts are by no means consistent, and we are' not
induced to give them implicit credit as to the .stated
'result of this spirited enterprize. That two of the
Schooners which were concerned in this daring pro- •
je6t have been captured we have little doubt ; but
the main hope- did not' depend on them. The
Leander, on bOard of which the Leader had em- •
barked,.has confessedly escaped; and it would have
been bad policy in MIRANDA to trust all to the issue
of an action with the Spanish Vessels which at-,
tacked him.—Romantic and intrepid as he is; he is
too experienced an Officer to be capable of such im-
politic temerity. It is stated that MIRANDA, on his
arrival at Barcelona, wrote to his brother, informing
him of the whole of ..the plan, and advising him to
retire into. the
,interior with his mother and sister,
with all the property Which he could remove; and.
that MIRANDA'S brother, alarmed for his own
.per-
sonarsafety, communicated the contents of this let-
ter to the Governor of the Carraccas. In the first
place, it is not to be supposed that in the state of
alarm and confusion which prevailed in that quarter,
there was an opportunity for such a regular com-
munication by letter, 'or that MIRANDA would have
sent any letter exposed to the hazard of interception.
If any letter were really sent, it may be supposed to
have fallen into' the hands of the Spanish Governor
by treachery. But the capture of the two Schooners •
at sea by the Si:anish Agents is no test of the feel-
lags and principles of
.the people on shore, who
have long been kept in a state of Miserable bondage, '
and have as long eßpeaed to be rescued from, that
lamentable and
..degraded • condition by. their heroic
countrymen. . Besides, the Americtn Papers in'
Which those accounts are detailed are evidently hos-
tile to AIIRANDA'S Expedition, and endeavour to
make use of it as a means to bring odium upon the.
President and those MeMbers of the American Go-
vernment who are supposed to have been favourable
to the enterprize, and to have given a clandestine
sanaion to all the preparations necessary to-carry it
into effea:. Upon the whole, we rely too much
upon the CharaCter of MIRANDA to, put entire faith
in those American representations of a measure
projected by' an Officer .of great experience and
talents, who knew the disposition of his Country-
Men, who had been for many years preparing their
• minds to expo& a deliVerance; and who had roused
their hopes'to such a pitch, that they were almost
ready to throw off the yoke which oppressed them,
without waiting,for the powerful aid and co-opera-
tion which they had been promise& and then saw
approach, to gratify their wishes. ' '
The account which the American Papers- give, of
a neW massacre of the Whites in St. Domingo, is
entitled to more credit than what they Say on Mx-
, Rs.rinA's Expedition. The black Emperor of Hayti
is so ferocious in his charther, as well as avaricious,
that he may be naturally supposed to wreak his ven-
'geante upon . all the unfortunate White person's' in
his power, from the united impulse of interest and
a Political animosity. Perhaps; however, even this
lamentablerecitalis an exaggerated statement of the
real fact, as DRSSALINES, however selfish and .bloed-
thirsty, cannot but reflect upon the consequences of
'lleh wanton and atrocious barbarity, which must
tend to preclude him from, all intercourse with any
i utilized State. . , , , ~ .
