tain unfounded and slanderous insinua-
tons. 1t is couched to convey the idea
that as Mr.. Ogden knew that the govern.
ment is implicated in fitting out the lie
ander, that point was not pressed upon
him by the court, who we are to infer
we're quite rs knowing as himself. Is
this coutien, or is il ,nn6ee2 In spposi
ton to Mr.. Ogden affirm that he ;cas
pressed on the point, on which, by the
insidious tenor of his note, he seems de-,
sirous to raise unfounded and injurious
suspicious against the government. And
what was hi. answer! This, aud judg-
ing by his note conclude that he said
all he could say upon il +: he knew moth
ing that could imhiicate the government.
He had indeed been told, by Miranda,
who to accomplish his visionary prsjects
might have told him any thing, that he,
Miranda, had conversed with the presi.
dent and with Mr.. Madison on the abjsct
condition of the people of South Amer
ca, and other general fofics. Now sup
pose MIR. Ogden himself had this con-
versa,ion with the president and with MIR.
Madison, what would it import? Why
that these two illustriuus men had conde
scenaed TO listen to Mr.. Ogden's obser-
vations on the affairs, generally, of the
South Americans. But the fact, accord.
ing to the testimony of Mr.. Ogden, is
neither so plain nor direct. 1t is sim.
ply that Miranda TOLD MIR. Ogden that
lie had had with those gentlemen con
versation SO innocent, l challenge Mr..
Ogden to 'meet me on this point, and l
beg, if after a days examination he has
concealed, in his ersreme caution, aught
from the court, that he will divulge it to
the public. On this rs on all other SUBJ
jeets, the government its friends, cour,

1HE SECRET EXPEDITION.

accuser Of eur government. We chart.
tally repeat, tina: Col Smith was, in s!l
probability, the dupe of the inin,ita5Le in.
triguer, Gen. Miranda. We cannot, as
yet, believe otherwise. Miranda posses.
ses an address, and captivating decepti-
ousness, which, perhaps, has never been
surpassed. How could the poor colonel
withstand It's influence
MIR. Fink, of this city. arcpu;able intia-
bitant, under the auspices and directions
OF Col, Smith, enlisted for this expedition
a considerable number of men. Mr. r.
testiies thar he was informed by colonel
Smith that these men we're to be raised
for the service of the United States He
accordingly under this impression, pre-
vailed upon them to enlist, and if t;Sey are
captured by the Spanish or French, they
will all probably be treated as tirafcs, as
they are in no degree authorised or cosn-
tenancea By our government.
