JAMAICA MAIL.

MIRANDA'S EXPEDITION.
We have already Rated that the intelligence re.
celved by the Jamaica Mail tended rather to confirm
than to diferedit the reports of Miaanna's faeces on
the Spina Main. We fhould, however, ilate, that
a Utter of the loth of May, received at Glafgow from
Grenada, repeats the rumour of his having failed in
his Era attempt, and been obliged to quit the Spanifh
American coaft, with the lots of his two fehooners.
The letter adds " He touched here in the Leander,
and felled yefterday. in company with the Lilly noon
of war. for Barbadoes."—ln our Paper of Thurfday
laR we mentioned, on the authority of a letter from
the fame place, of the date of Jane 6th, that Mt-
*tuba failed from Grenada on the sth of June to
join a Britills frigate waiting for him at Margaretta.
One of there letters mull be incorrea.,
The accounts by the Jamaica Mail teem, however,
More to be depended on than any that have yet
reached. us. We tobJain'tbent in the order of thr it
dates :
