BY the Henrietta, from Curacao, we learn,
that the various reports in circulation there ref
petting miranda, kept the public mind in con-
itant agitation and fuipence, without giving the
ieatt fhadow of certainty to any of his OPERATE
ons. II was generally believed, that if he had
acted with more vigor and perseverance at frft,
his expedition might have been attended with
iuccets but that, owing to his waiting great
portion of his time in ulelefs and unneceliary
mansuvres, together with his long ftay at JAG
quemel, he gave the Spaniards efficient time to
become acquainted with his hottie intentions,
and to put themfelves in proper fate of defence
againt any attacks he could make, by filling e.
very place, in the leaf Liable TO invaiion, with
troops--by experimenting thofe who appeared
to favor him, and have them properly fecured
or removed from the coat, and finally by fend-
ing veffels in fearch of him.
There was no certain account of the capture
of Miranda's two fchooners, and many believed
the report only RATED by government to lull the
fears of the people. TELEGRAPH.

from pamphlet written in England avowedly in de-
fence OF neutral rights, particularly as they regard

to the author ct this work. Some have even intima-
ted that it is the production oa pen under the inu
ence OF MIR Munroe, our miniiter at London and of
eourie are unwilling to admit that It's doctrines and
OPINIONS can IN any manner be coniidered as critic
ron OF the dfpoiition and views of the new, Bri,i0

h1PPy IN being able to ASSURE our readers and the
American public generally, that the author of th,

nephew OF Mr.. Fox, and that it has been iGued in

for the reception of certain liberal puations between

In addition to the above, we learn, that let
ter. dated at St. Domingo fomstime in May,
was received in town this week, eating in fnb-
tance, that letter was jua received at that
place, from the Spsnilh Maine, announcing
that Miranda had actually landed on the coat
conliderab,y TO the windward of the Caracas,
and that he had commenced his march for that
colony. 1t is difficult, amidf the many con-
Trajectory accounts, to form any decided OPT
Mon as to the real fate of the expedition. We
are, however, rather inclined to believe that the
report of the capture OF the fchooners was pre-
mature, and circulated either by the Spaniards
to deter reinforcement, or by the friends or
ahettors of the expedition to lu the fears of the
Spaniih government.
