GENERAL MIRANDA.

The reports relpaling the fate of the enterprize
I undertaken by MIRANDA arc very contradiftory.—
Let ters from Barbadoes, received by way of Glafgow,
of the date of nth September, Rate, that he had
been completely faced-slut, had taken leveret places,
and had received fuceoars from Trinidad ;—but
on the other hand, the Prce Ls fchooner, of to guns,
arrived at Plymouth from th.: Spanifh Main, is re-
ported to have brought official accounts to Govern-
ment of the entire defeat of Mamma. It is Paid
that he was attacked in the poll which be occu-
pied at Coro, by the Spanifh Governor, who bad
collated fifteen hundred men that he has (ince
arrived at Trinidad, with (emelt two hundred
men, and that had it not been for the protelion
afforded him by the Lilly (loop of war, his retreat
would have been impraeicable. Shouldibe faa be
as Hated, we are not without hopes that he will renew
his enterprife, and with better means. The attempt
he has made has thewn that the Spanifh Government
in that quarter has but little chance of repelling any
refire/table force.

The following is given in a New Yolk Paper as
the extra& from a Journal kept on board the brig
Aftive, Captain &ace, in twenty days from Point
Petre, Guadeloupe.
" Atrau.z aB.—A privateer of 30 guns, and tser
men, failed from Laguira with 154 troops, under the
command of the Captain of this port, to co operate
with the Spaniards againit Miranda. Sept. e 3, a
heavy gale of wind, but no danger done in Point
Petre among the (hipping, but confiderable in the
country by blowing down trees. On the '4th failed
from Petre. On the 19th, in lat. at, so. long. 6r.
fell in with the above-mentioned privateer, after hav-
ing landed her troops in Laguira, who informed us
that Miranda had met with a revere repulfe from the
Spaniards, and compelled to retreat to his (hipping
for flicker, and had no hopes of fucceeding, unle&
he had a force of an or so,ooo men."
By papers from Barbadoes to the end of Septem-
ber, we learns that three Engla frigates lately ap-
peered of Aquadello, and were fending their boats
on (bore for water, when the batteries, under the
command of Don Marna'. Da LA Ansa, of the Spa-
nith Marine, opened a heavy fire on them. The fri-
gates immediately stood in, and, after a heavy can-
nonading, filenced the batteries. We had four men
killed, and the Spaniards thirteen.
The (hip Britith 'far, Capt. GORDON, of
from the coat• of Africa, with 216 flaves, was taken
to windward of Barbadoes early in September by a
French privateer rchponer, of te guns and tao men,
rand carried into Guadeloupe.
Letters have been received from the Weft Indies,
mentioning a very gallant aftion to have been fought
by the Anton, of 4+ guns, with the Foudroyant, of
84, bearing the flag of the French Admiral Via-
LAV/411Z. On the igth of September, the Anion,
while cruizing off the Havannah, dikovered the
Foudroyant, with the tuts of her fore and main top-
matt, making for that port. Captain LYDIARD
mediately gave chace, and a fmart firing caned, but
the enemy was fo f..rtunate as to efcape under the
proteftion of the batteries. Captain L. continued
for from time to exchange fire both with the Fou.
droyant and the batteries. The Aaron (offered much
in her malts and rigging, and had two men killed
! and ts wounded. The French had so killed and
wounded, and there is no doubt, from the erippied
Rate of the Foudroyant, that the would have been
either taken or funk, had the been met by the Anion
at a greater diftanee from the (bore.

Three (hips from London. bound to Surinam, the
Neptune, Britannia, and Pitmans Charlotta, were
captured and carried into Guadaloupe on the rft of
Augui, by the French privateer Mummer Jesse
Advil', of14 guns, and 130 IMO.
