COMMUNICATION.

we are Informed that Stephen Sayre, Efa. is now
in our city and lodges at the Bell he has beea on
whit to his ION. Capr. Sayre. We hope he may be
induced to rede here, his only fon has now con-
liferable property in the Gate.
1t is well known that Mr.. Sayre was fherif of
London, at the commencement of our revolutionary
war that being too jealous in our caufe, he was
committed to the Tower, under pretence of treafon
aga'nit the government, that he quilted England was
employed by our eomm;lioners in Paris in l777 to
go to Berlin, that he rf prevailed on the king of
rru,ia to enter into the armed neutrality, he then
proceeded to Denmark and Sweden, united ,hofe
two powers in the Object, which was finally carried
INTO ehed in l7so nv the empres of Rufia, who fit
ted out 90 Hips Of the line to fupp-rt it.
We have made the above remarks becaufe fince
MS arrival, MIR. Sayre has made fome communicate
onsto atrend here, that mutt, when pubel, known,
not meerly excite curoGty, but the wonder Of every
citizen OF America
We are Informed of proiea by the northern pa
peers, to he conducted by General Miranda, but we
had no idea before that his plan was the NOT extern
live, and above all things, mon likely to change the
lace OF affairs through the univerfe.
| The foregoing communication was not re.
ceived till late in the day, yenerday. Feel.
ing, however, much interefed in difcovering
| the deftination of gen. Miranda, we called at
|
| taken ihort ride into the country. We flnall
however fee him before Friday morning, and
fhall then communicate the rr/nh of our
enquiries.
Gen. Miranda IA native of Mexico) is faid to
have been in pofief1ion of three millions of
| dollars, and TO have frcret!y fitted on. the
| Leander and two other vef1els at New York,
h'led with arms. ammunition, and fome
| troops. Two of thete vctlels, perhaps all three
| are fad 70 have failed from New-York What
is his deftination has been the anxious en-.
| curry fortwo or three weeks in fome of the
northern papers.
we ihall lay fzvo conjeetures only before our
| readers
ISL: Some OF the northern papers have tated,
that the object of gen. Mirandi is 10 revolu-
tionize Cuba. We do not believe it.
3D. Is not the Englifh government privy to his
( plan /! This conf eeture is founded 1T. upon
| the report of his having received 10000
| pounds from houfe in N Y. in confeauence
OF an Englifh connection Cfor which, fee
| the following paragraph from the Aurora
and 2dy, upon the unknown and myfteriou,
| defamation of Sir Home Popham's fouadron
True this fquadron may not have arrived
AZ buenos Ayres, as has been reported bu
! there are other landing places in South Anne
| RIGA befides Buenos Ayres
Another conjecture, infinitely more importan
than thefe, and more deeply connected will
the affairs of our own country, rites upo1
us. We mutt have more time to confide
1t. 1t is much too important to be light,
trufted to public paper.
BY letter from friend at New.York. w
learn an important fact, that general Miranda
who is faid lately to have failed from N. York
brought with him from England letter Of Gre
dit on one houfe at New-York for Gxty t50,.G7u
pounds .Rerhng. We fhall bye and bye get t.
the marrow of this buinefs. (Hurora.
