• NEW-YORK, JULY 29.--We are authorised to
state, for the information of the friends and relations
of those Americans who were made prisoners by
the Spaniards, on board of MIRANDA'S. Schooners,
that the Most prompt and efficacious measures have
been adopted to procure their enlargement; and that:
no doubt remains of the success of the steps taken.
It is, therefore, hoped, that the flying reports of the
day will not create any further ankiety among the
friends of the unfortunate captives.—(D. iidv)
By a Gentleman who passed through the Cher-
okee nation a few days ago, we are intbrmed that a
very extraordinary duel was fought there on the
16th inst. between JAug.s VANN and his brother-in-
law, Joint FALLING (a half-breed) in consequence of
a former misunderstanding-. VANN gent for his bro-
ther-in-law to meet him at an appointed place,
about half way between their own houses, for the
purpose of giving him satisfaction ; they accordingly
met, with their seconds, all armed with muskets and
pistols. When they approached in sight of each
other, they galloped up so near, that their.horses'
heads were tcnching, when they fired nearly at the
same instant. The contents of VANN'S musket,
which was thirty rifle bullets,
.entered the breast of
FALLING, and he fell dead•from his horse,. and was.
left on the,ground until the next morning : VANN'S
coat sleeve was burnt with the powder of FALLING'S
musket. _

Atictisr I.—From our Baltimore Correspondent
we received; by this morning's Mail, the following
article of intelligence :
To the Editor, front his Correspondent at Norfolk, under

date June z 7,

SIR--The following is an Extra& from a Letter
received yesterday by the Brig St, Bride's, 15 days
from Tortola, from Admiral COCHRANE, to Colonel
HAMILTON, the British Consul.—Your's, Vic.

" Northumberland, off Tortola, June 12.
" I-have just a morti:4:t to tell you that we followed the
French Fleet to the west end of ,the Tortola Passage, they.,
going off before the wind. Their force • tyro S4's and. four
74's—my force three 74's and one 64--ha,' they kept their
course, I meant to have paid them a lesit after dark, bur they
anadeTsail to the northward, and I . saw three more Ships

be reinforced, and yet to see them to good purpose.'"'

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM NEW ORLEANS, DATED

JUNE 4.

" We,learn from aperson of corred information,
lately arrived from Mekico, that the.CommancLiss
in that country Dave published an Order of 'his. ca-
tholic Majesty, of the date of the loth- February
last, the purport of which is, „That all disputes
which existed between H. C. M. and the United
States. of America are at an end;
,it is, therefore or-
dered to our different Commanders of the different
frontier posts, near those of the United States, to
retire with their troops to the interior posts,.and hold
an amicable intercourse with Officers of the United
State's." '

' FROM THE COFFEE-HOUSE DESK. •
Intelligence has been received that eight prisoners,
,taken in MIRANDA'S Schooners, died in their chains;
that fifteen Officers (being the whole number) were
to be hanged, and that all the privates were to be
released.. All the Spanish Ports were opened to
Nentrals on the Bth of this month.

[FROM THE COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.]
By the arrival of Captain WOOD, this mornings
from Trinidad, which. place he left the 9th instant,
letters have been received in town from Gentlemen
on board the Leander. - These Letters speak' in the
most positive terms of their prospects of approaching
success, in the long -contemplated enterprise of Gene-
ral MIRANDA. The whole expedition, consisting of
a number of Vessels, and a respectable force, was
to sail in a few days for the Main, from whence
they had direa information, such as left no doubt
of their effeding a landing without difficulty. They
have with them. several Spaniards of distinction, who
had joined them from Caraccas.. The following are
•Extracts from some of the Letters received this day :
"-We have this day received such intelligence, as
places things in so favourable a point of view, that
hardly a doubt of Success remains. We shall cer-
tainly leave this in a few days, and as certainly
effeCt a Nading, from whence I shall immediately
write von,
" We are making ev€y preparation for the poitit‘
in view, and shall leave this in six days, and in ten
more the fate of the Country will be decided. Otir
force is respeCtable, of which I would give you a
correct statement, but for a reason which hris pre-
vented my, writing as fully as I wish, which is, lest
my letters should fall into improper hands on their
passage. .

Reports'frorn the Main, state, that the Govern-
ment is tremblingly alive, and they.treat the priso-
ners.,-our friends, with a degree of lenity which was
not generally expected."
Since receiving the above, another extra& of 'a
letter, dated'-Trinidad, June 29, together with a
Proclamation, or Manifesto, published by General
MIRANEM, on the 28th ofJune, has been politely
handed to us :

•
"'General MIRANDA arrived here a few days ago.
He is to receive some support from the British Go-
vernment, and he has a number of volunteers from'
this, as well as from some other Islands. -Inclosed.
.1 send you a Manifesto published by him yesterday.'
There are various opinions 'respe&ing the success of
his•expedition."

The Regiments assembling at Cork are the 25th,
26th,'50th, 63d, 82d, and 2d Battalion 92d.

It: is now determined on. to send all the incomplete

B,IRRiERE's OF POLITICS.

The Peace of Prqburgh was the "result-of. events
too unexpected for the Cabinets of Europe to beable
to appreciate immediately the influence' it would
have upon. their future conduEt. Six months have
scarcely elapsed since,it was signed, and the ostensiL
ble measures of, the ditrefent.Courts •enable the Ob-
server already rojudge of the etteaS of that Treaty.
The House of Austria, whose policy never wan-
ders but when it is influenced by that of:other Ca-
binets, renounces War, and is employed only in re-
pairing the injuries it has done her. The troubles
of Servia, the regeneration of the Ottoman
pire, the weakness of her Army, the, ruin of her
credit, and the desolation of her provinces—such are
'the objeEts-ofher solicitude ; far from desiring new
contests, she blesses Peace, which permits her to re—
pair the evils they hive caused her.
Prnssia, 'aggrandized at the expence of England,
has no longer any thing to fear from the insinua-
tions of the Cabinet of St. Jarnes. GEORGE has
launched his thunders against WILLIA:q, who fears
them less, perhaps, than his friendship.
,Some ships
lost, some men made prisoners, and some cessions
to France, are the price of a Province rich in extent,
population',
.and produce, And whose value .is dou-
bled by its local situation. This acquisition, which
draws a line of eternal separation beti.Vetn the
Courts of -London and Berlin, unites- for ever the
-Court of .Berlin to the interests of the Court. of
France. A War of Negotiation with S .veden, of
misunderstanding with Russia, and the new arrange-.
ments of Germany, occupy Prussia at present--her
wise and Moderate conducl proves the desire She has.
to preserve Peace.
. Russia,, too feeble in population to exp.‘4 'success
in Europe and Asia at the same. time, has adopted.
the policy which her interest and her glory required.
At the very moment in which her Peace with France
ensures the. repose of the West, a solemn Embassy.
unites the Court of St. petersburgh with the Court
of Pekin;' Ships from Kamschatka explore the seas
ofJapan, and lay. the foundation of a commerce
which will civilize ,the North:
.Policy dOes not
alone contribute to ,The prosperity of Russia—her
Armies. have passed the Caucasus—spread over the
Plains of Persia, and are already under the walls of
IspahanTreaties will unite the Czar to the Shah,
and from than moment the trade of India; lost to
England, will abandon the vast ocean, and return to
the seas and rivers that flow into. it. That day will
deprive Great Britain of her riches and her resources
for Loans—that clay will turn against her the trea-
sures she employs to agitate Europe, and theArrris.
upon which she relies for the def(inceof her territory.
Turkey, weakened by her extent, and
,by her
manners, by the mixture of two nations, and the
wavering pOlicy of the Divan, was On the point of
disappearing from the map of Europe, when the
Treaty of Pre;burgh, by giving her Frontiers in com-
mon with the Kingdom of Italy, , has regenerated
the EMpire of the Cross. Neither the influence of
Russia, nor that beingot England, able to turn Sul-
tan SELIM from his real interests,
.and
.6om his
ancient Ally, Ambassadors are arrived to bring the
plelg.s of Peace—it is to Ttirkey the .pledge of
hal)piness. This intimate union of France ..and_the
Porte changes the direction of the commerce of
the Levant and the Mediterranean ; Soon. too, the
fleets from, Toulon, Venice, Ragusa, the Ports and
Isles of the Indian Sea, and the Otiasts 'of Barbary
will drive the English frOM a sea where Malta or
Gibraltar will only serve them as a refuge.
The King of Sweden, plunged into a war, which
folly, not glory, induces him to carry on,, attacks-
his subjects, not his enemies. Prussia has not yet'
seen her territory threatened, and the inhabitants of
Swedish Pomerania have already lost their, ancient
privileges. The Decree which destroys them de.
velopes at length the secret of the War of the North;
it proves that the conquests of GusrAviJs will all be
confined to his owa territories.

. Germany (or the Princes who formed formerly
part of the ancient Germanic conflderacy).waits for
the Charter which is to replace the golden biill•;
that.minute Mt prevented the •usual troubles at the
eleftion of King of the Romans, regulated the ,cere-
monies of the Coronation, distributed the rank and
funtions of the Electors, but did not insure to the
petty Princes of Germany the peaceable possession
of their dominions.--The Emperor, under whom
they held, might summon them to his assistance,
arm them for his defence, without being always
bound to prote& them; the interest of the Empire
often exhausted. the force and the revenues necessary
to the safety of,each of its Members; the custom of
.deciding every thing at the Diet according to the
.number of votes attached to the.eledive fiefs, ren-
dered the liberties of the German Empire illusory;
in fine, the destrudion of a great
.number of Prin-
cipalities,. and the tottering state of all the rest, dealt
the last blow to that ancient Association.
Denmark, accustomed to consider Sweden as her
natural enemy,. follows a policy diaMetrically oppo-; •
site to that of Sweden. The peaceful Cabinet of
Copenhagen profits by, the •calami ties which Gus -
TM/VS produces in 'his own dominions, and derives
advantage froM the troubles of Europe, without ever
taking any part in them. The prosperity of her •
commerce appears to be the sole obje& of her soli-
citude..

England, isolated from Europe by her interests no
less than her 'geographical position, exhausts the
science of her cabinet in making conquests which
she will not keep, and in contra&ing debts 'which
she will never pay. ' Her Vessels navigate peaceably
the most diStant Seas, yet,are full of fears in tra-"
versing the Channel ; her CoMMerce enslaves three
quarters of the Globe, and cannot maintain itself in
the fourth ; her policy arms Kings to subdue France,
and their defeat strengthens FranCe yet it is not
to any want.of skill on the part of the Cabinet of St.
James's that this bad success is to 'be attributed.‘,--.
N0,,--but it is to the force of events, united
together, command each 'Other, and lead to results
ditferent from those which seem to expefted.
The present condnft of the Cabinet of London
proves that it is convinced'ot the feebleness of Eng-.
land to contend with France. It proves alBo, that
the true interests of the Nation are better appreciated
by the new Minister; ; and that if Peace be nego
tiated slowly, it will still be signed. •
The other States of Europe, all united to France
by .ratitude, interest, and blood, compose what in -
n,o poliov is called the Federative Empire, but
which might ll;e more appropriately called the Empire
(!t the IVe.;t. Her pliulation exceeds that of the

in the West Indies, the Expedition of MIRANDA 11:.S
