AMERICAN JOURNALS.

We have received American Papers to the 3oth of
April, and we arc forry to find from them that an
unfortunate circumfiance has occurred, which the
French party in that country will not fail to emits.
your to turn to their own account. Captain WK t r iv,
of the LIAISDIR, endeavouring to compel two Arne.
rican coafters to bring to, unfortunately one of the
guns fired killed an American feaman. The body
was carried on fhore, exhibited to the populace, and
honoured with a public funeral ; the public prints
were put in mourning ; and, to complete the climax,
a bill of indiament for Murde► was actually preferred
and found by the Grand Jury of New York, againa
Captain WHITBY, the commander of the Lc ANDER.
It appears, however, by the affidavits of the Ame.
rican Captains themfelyes, that they had refuted, in
the firft infiance, to bring to, when required; and the
queftion comes limply to this--Wits Captain W HITIY

;unified by his orders in ;dining on the right cor nifit
ing and fearching American veils If he was,
ho.wever much the accident may be regretted, is kill
necafion no quarrel between the 'two Governments.
If ha went beyond his innrudionvo which no one who
knows Captain Wit rray's charatler will believe, our
Government will give every reafonable fatisfattion.

For the particulars refpeaing this unhappy acci-
dent, for (itch we confider it, we refer to the wrath
given in the lull page.

REVOLUTION IN SPANISH AMERICA

The Philadelphia papers lisle, that Cip. Wass,
of the brig Eliza, who itrrived there on the syth of
April from Maricaibo, bed brought intelligence, that
OR before be failed from that place, orders had been
received there from the Governor of Carraccas to
have the militia immediately organized, and the, city
put iittri the belt [fate of defence, as a very alarming
resole had taken place in the interior.

To the above intelligence, copied from the Ame.
rim papers, we have to add, that by the mail from
the Leeward Wands letters of the tath of April have
been received from Tortola, which Rate, that a a
fquadron bad arrived on the Spanills Main, and taken
pacific)* of Cumana and Barcelona. and that the
whole province was expefted to fall."
Tbc fquadron alluded to in this letter is no other
than the Expedition commanded by MIRANDA, con-
fifiing of two veffels only. Other accounts Rate that
MIRANDA bad arrived on the Spanifh Main, and ac.
malty taken pi:dragon of the Wand of St. Margarita,
where he had been joined by three or four thoufand
Of the inhabitants, with whom, and the forte he
brought with him, he intended to make an attempt
to revolutionize the neighbouring Spanilh Settle-
ments. He is reported to have been provided with
fulilcient pecuniary means for his purpolc, and to be
confident of fuccefs, having with him about 30,eicso
Rand of arms which he diftributes among the infur
gents who repair to his revolutionary Itandard.

Yeflerday, the sd battalion 3 tft regiment, com•
mended by Lieut. Colonel CAM , was reviewed
at Portfmouth, by the Lieutenant-Governor Sir Geo
Pasvosr, previoufly to their returning to Southamp-

racks, to relieve the Hants militia, who were fent to
efcort nearly 3000 French prifoners, marched from
Portfmouth to Yaxley barracks, and other depots fur
prifoners in the interior of the country.
We congratulate the army, and the country in
general, on the favourable change which has taken
place in the health of that very able and aftive officer,

advice has rapidly gained him health.

mouth are, the 15th dragoons, sd battalion, 7th and

Though the new military arrangements will fend
from the fervice of the country a number of old and
experienced Officers, it will make a very great Paving
to the public purfe. There is to be a complete (weep
of the Etat Major from the sath of June. In no dißriel
is there to be more than one Lieutenant General, and
few dißrißs require an officer of higher rank than
Major General. The whole of the Brigadiers will

is to be a correfponding (weep of the inferior Raft, of
Majors of Brigade and Aids-du.camp.
