A New York Paper of the 17th says-- We

terious Expeditio6, under 'MIRANDA. ;A letter is
,town in own from General I)EARBORN, Se-
cretary. at War, in which 'he peremptorily de-
clare.-4,• that -neither the -Administration, nor any
of the, Heads of Departnients individually, have
any, knowledge of 'the destination of the Leander
that On this: subject Weither Mr, JL.IFVERSON nor Mr.
, MAnisoN, ever had any conferences and communi-
cations. with General MIRANDA; that it was not
until she had Sailed that they were advised of her
being destine 4 on a hostile voyage ; and that. en re-
ceiving this advice snits.
_were immediately insti-
tuted against. tie parties concerned, and that too be-
fore,any representations were made to them by any.
Foreign Minister or Agent:" MIRANDA'S sailing is
known at. the Havannah, and measures have bee.ti
taken, to frustrate his design.

sented to him !

A Letter from Kingston, Jamaica, February 26,
says, " It is clearly understood, that the object of the
Squadron, to i.vhose. career Adtniral-Duc.mcvoalit has
so gloriously put an end, was to ran down the North
Site of this Island in the usual predatory manner;
caPtUre,or destroy every;Vessel in the way ; proceed
with their Prizes to: the Havannah, and then he in
wait to intercept our hom.:Ward-bound Fleet. The
island will,
_without doubt, justly estimate the ser-
vices of the gallant Admiral and.his folioi.vers, by
whose exertions it has escAped such iinaliaent peril.
Lieutenant-Gen.. Sir LYRE. COOTE, K. B. was yes-
terday sworn into the.oilice as Lieutenant-Governor
