MIRANDA'S EXPEDITION.

some of cur contemporaries pretend to have re•
eitieed American J,innu,ls to a very lace date, from
which they have given reverel articles refpeeling the
capture of M111•11Dell fchnoner, esaftly to the effea
of what we hated force days fince. The fait is, that
the lateß American Papers in town are thole from
New York of the rith, and from Bolton of the lath
ult. lathe former is the following article :

New Yeast, Jona t 4 ..We learn by the brig Refolution
from Trinidad. that a flew ,days before IN failed, Admiral
Cot difpatehol bin lees, in the Jafun 141-ate, with the
Flying Vint tender, to eruize for Miamian, of the Coati of
fierceloc. and Caraecas, and to give bun affurance, that
every alllttance In the power of the !Irina Squadron Mould
be given to forward the faccds of Lie enterprise. Tbc Fly-
ing Pith had returned to 'Triuidad, and the Lily 800, of war
had hcen fent to replace her. Na intelligence by the tender
bad tranfpired; l.ut the prompt falling of the Lily gave rife to
much fprculative opinion. ho account had reached 'Ttinidad of
the Capture of Miranda'. two fehounere, A report prevailed, that
the Armnurers employed at Contain by the Spanish Government
. . . .

ad been apprehended and executed on a charge of having ren-
dered unfit for fervice the muikets that had beln entrufted to them
to repair."

To the above we have to add, on the authority of
a letter from Grenada, dated June 6, that MIRANDA
failed from thence on the pr-ceding day to join a Bri-
tifh frivate which was wAitiog (or him at Margaretta,
othcrwife it had been his intention to proceed to Bar-
badoes in fcarch of that fuccour which it is faid had
been promifed him if neceffary.
Accounts have alto been received from Trinidad
which CAM' down to the sd of June, et which time
they had heard nothing of bliaancia having met
with a difcomforture.

A Fifth Edition is announced of Mr. SOIlleS Win
ter in London. Nn Navel has been read with flich
avidity fine Mifs BURNET'S Cecilia, five thnufand
copies having been fold in left than three months.

There is little hope, we underhand, that Mr. Fox
will ever again make his appearance in St. Stephen's
Chapel. Mr. F. a is not worfe, but his diforder is
of that nature to preclude any prolix& of his being
able to encounter the fatigues of his Parliamentary
duty. His illnefs is not confined to one cnmplaint,
but confins in a complication of diforderi, which
have produced a very alarming effea upon his con-
ftitution.

Dutch Journals to the t ath infant, have come to
hand, but they bring no news of a late date from
Paris, deferving rf particular notice.

. .
The ha difpatches from France, bronght by Mr.
BASILItO, it is underilood, have formed the fubjed
of much confultation in the Cabinet, and the anker
which the Meffenger was expelled to carry back lal
night, was therefore conjeetured to be very important,
if not decifive. Nothing, however, is known upon the
fubjea out of the Cabinet Circle. At a late hour la:t
night no Meffnger had been difpatched to France.

By accounts from the upper Provinces of Bengal,
we underhand, that a dreadful mortality has prevail-
ed. Many thoufands of the lower dared of the na.
tive inhabitants have been (wept off by a malignant
fever, which has greatly ravaged the country,
cularly the province of Rohilcund. hinny Europeans
alfo have fallen viaims to the difeafe.

A letter from C k, dated Jnly tl, figs—" The
brig George, BR ALILY, arrived in our harbour on
Wednefday, twenty one days from New York. The
George fell in with the American fhip Caroline, Cap-
tain SCOTT, on the Brh of July, by whom be was in-
formed, that a few days previous he fell in with a
fquadrnn of men of war, confining of five fail, by
one of which he was boarded. Captain Scory could
make no other communication to the George, as he
paired her with the wind blowing frcfh."
It is extremely probable that this was jk ROM a Bo-
's fquadron on its return home.
The 14th Regiment of Light Dragoons were re-
viewed by his MAJT.TY on Tuefday. on Afhford
Common. His Royal Highnef. the Duke of Yos
with a numerous retinue Field Officers, were on the
ground. The Regiment went duo' their manoeuvres
of changing fronts, wheeling in fquadions, charging
in line, Ste. much to the fatistaelion of his Mai Ism
who fignified his pleafure in handfome terms, to
Lieut. Col. Hawks, the Commandant, of the fleady
difcipline and foldier-like appearance of the Regi•
ment. This mark of refped was communicated to
the Regiment by the Colonel, through the Officers
commanding fquadrons, after a royal &lute, while
the ranks remained open. The Officers of the Regi
ment dined with his Royal Highnefs the Duke of
Vole, and a numerous affemblage of Field Officers
in marquees at the Callle, Richmond, after the Re-
view. The Band belonging to the loth Light Dra-
goons played martial airs on the water during the
entertainment, and the whole had a delichtful effaa.
