ST. SEBASTIAN, Joss 25.--The fchooner
NEfperance, juft arrived at St. Andero from Ca-
raccas, has brought accounts of the famous espedi.
tion of Miranda. Among the numerous letters which
confirm the taking of the two fchooners, the follow-
inz, contains molt par oculars :

" CAII4CAS, lIAT 2.
" An armed fcheloner of this port met, in the
month of march, Miranda's expedition, confifling of
the corvette the Leander, and two fchnoners.
Mi-
randa, and the Captain of the corvette on board
of which he was, conceived alarms and apprehenfions
with refpeft to the Spanifh fehooner, and, to prevent
her return to Caraccas, they refolved to capture her.
This they did in fpite of the remonflrances of the
Captain of a corvette belonging to Baltimore, who
knowing the Captain and Supercargo cf the Spaniel
fchooner, wifhed to proteft them. Neverthelefs, in
order to deliver the Captain and Supercargo from the
dilagreeable lunation in which they were placed, the
Baltimore Captain took them on board his own Iltip.
—Orr the 27th of March, Miranda, difappointed at
not being able to reduce any of the St. Domingo me.
groes, among whom he expefied reinforcements, Ike'
fail with only his own forces. The Baltimore velrel
at the fame time left Jacquemel, and in palling put
afhore the Supercargo at Aux Cayce, who finding a
boat, returned here and gave an account of what he
had feen at Jacquemel up to the 27th of March.
Apprifed of the defigns of Miranda, we expell-
ed him without appretrenfion ; and nn the 26th of
April we were informed that his flotilla was in fight
at a fhort dillance. Two fchooners and a brig were
immediately fent out of La Guayra and Puerto Ca.
heillo, which fell in with Miranda on the coafl of
Choroni. A warm affirm commenced, which !ailed
fix hours, and terminated i.r our favour. On the
28th, at one o'clock, Mi, ands's two fchooner ; were
taken. The corvette the Leander toot to flight.—
Three wrong leaped into the fea—one of them re-
fufed all alfiflance ; the other two were taken up and
carried to Puerto Cabeilln, where they arrived the
fame day at nine in the evening. Our yards. with
a crew of 15c men each. are in purfitit of the cor-
vette. The inhabitants of this place are pleated at
taken. We had a man killed and two wounded in the
this event, but would be moro• if Miranda were

) brig. The prifnners are on the road to Lepn. It is
• thought they will be beheaded without mercy. The
• fame fate awaits Miranda and the other adventurer,
if they fall into our hands."—/Iferti(rar, NI 7. '
