Of Miranda's rtedlion.-Capt. Davis,
on quarantins, from Trinidad, informs,
that {July 2olh) gen. Miranda's squadron,
consisting of the Lilly sloop of war, and
five other vessels, was expected to sail dai.
~: That the persons engaged in the ex..
petition were in high spirits, and conH-
dent of success; and that Miranda had
altered his intention of fighting under Pc,
ruvian colofs Ia golden sxn and rain6avp1
and had substituted the British--His a.
vowed object was the emancipation Of his
countrymen from the Spanish yoke.
Later accounts from this island, state,
that on the Esd July, Miranda's squadron
bad sailed, and was lying off and on be.
fore Trinidad, apparently waiting for other
vessels, or Information. We may expect.
in the coursesof very few days, to learn
the kind reception, which this kind, intre.
pid and interchangeable .adyenturer will re-
ceive on rhe shore, oflhe Spanish Maine.
Those who wish we'll to This enterprizc,
must lament the hardness which appeals
cntailed on the expedition. Capt. Lewis,
late of the Leander, who has arrived in
New York, we understand, does not speak
very sanguine of the success of the expe-
