AN American newfpaper of the month of
March laft, gives an account of the intended
expedition projected and directed by the felf
fuppofed gen. Miranda, and it afirns that al
though of late, few MIRACLES have take, place,
yet the fuccefs of this madman in the attainment
OF his ends would certainly be confidered as
one. The public wait with anxious Impotence

THE MIRACLE.
On the 9th of April the felf fuppofed gcner-

on the iettlement of Ocumare, IA leagues w.
or Laguira, and he ordered of his miferable
wretched companions to land with the intention
or ieducing or attempting to alter the invincibe
hdehty OF its inhabitants. Government who
had traced all his fteps from the u. s. To Jacnel,
and from thence to Orua, ordered two of the

province to. attack him this was executed on

hands of his enemies two of the vefTels of his
expedition with iixty three accomplrces of his
projects, their arms, ammunition, uniforms and
papers. On the 3oth his five fpies were appre-
nended without having obtained by their milf
non any other object fave that of having mo(t
completely undeceived themfelves, being tho
roughly convinced that from the higheft to the
