ogden’s deposition.
jyi/lriß, oj iVe-t u-lork, to <t vit —Samuel
G. Ogden, of thecity oi Ncw.Yoik, mer
chant, sworn to make true ar.fwcrs touch
ing a certain expedition fitted out and fail
ed from this port in the Leandcr, deposes,
that Col. Smith had no particular agency in
lilting out the (hip Leandcr, cir procuring
the cargo—this deponent did that himfelf.
Col, Smith & Gen. Miranda were frequent
ly together j William Armstrong was the
principal agent of this deponent in procuring
certain articles of the cargo of the (hip, and
in getting the men on board. There were
pikes, cannon and cutlasses, for the rife of
the (hip, onboard. Gen. Miranda is gene
out in the fliip as passenger merely ; is
bound to a place, as he, this deponent, ■
thinks, in latitude between 10 and iy, N.
and longitude beiwccn 60 and 75, W,~
Gen. Miranda was to land, as was intended,
either upon an island or on the Spaniflt Main,
within that latitude and longitude. That the
men on board were at liberty to aft or not to
aft in any enterprise with G.n. Miranda, as
they (h ntld agree ; or to land with the Gen.
t*ta! or net to land, at their pleafme. Gen.
Miranda was b*rn, as he onderftood, in the
province of Caracas, and he thinks in the
town of Carr.oca?, where he had a great
number of friends. That Gen. Miranda
(hewed this deponent a great number of pa
pers in the Spanish language, the fubftancc
.* s * le him, were assurances
&cm hi* friends at Carraccs, that they would
nffift him in any views he might have when
he arrived there j they were papers recent
and old, and fotne of them verV recent, and
aooftly received by General Miranda while,
in Europe—that General Miranda came here
from London, &brought withhima lelterof
credence on Daniel Ludlow, of this city
for 800 K ficriing, which fom thisdoporcnt
received trout Mr. Ludlow for General Mi
f&nda.
Th? engagement between this deponent
and Gen. Miranda, is—that the Leander
lhall carry what she bason board to the port
of destination, and the captain of the (hip is
there to receive, for this deponent, in ca(h,
its price, and the amount of the outfits, and
two Kindred per cent, advance on the amount
of the cargo and outfits ; the veftel is there*
topiocceed to Jacquetnel, and with the ca(h
to purchcfc a return cargo of coffee. The
deponent has several bids on London, drawn
by Gen. Miranda, to the amount of aoeol.
fferling—me on Nicholas V<n bittart
and John Turnbull ; theothersen Trinidad,
to the amount of 5000!. ftcrlir.g, cn Joseph
Lambert and William Brown, merchants ;
for which he is to give Gen. Miranda ere
dit when paid. This deponent (atih the a
meunt of the cargo on board the ihip Lean
er is about 40,000 dollars, the outfits he
eftirnpies at 30,000 more, Gen, Miranda
is at liberty to receive or not to receive the
cargo when it arrives at the port of destina
tion. The estimated amount to be received
there was about 217,000 dollars. i
This deponent farther faith, that General
Miranda went to Walhingtcn not long be
fore he failed, and, as he underlined, was
introduced to the officers of our government j
and this deponent ur.derftood from General
Miranda, that he had several interviews
with the Prefidenc and Mr. Madison, and
converged, among other general topics, tv'uh
them on the fuhjeff of the filiation of South
America, and the cpprtfiion of its inhabi
tants.
That from convcrlations between this de
ponent and General Miranda, th.s eopencht
underload the Leander was to land her car
go and Gtn. Miranda near the town of
Carracas, in the province of C aracas, so
1 iA^iw« 5 52
he understood- was about five hundred men.
'1 hit deponent under flood from Gtn. Mr ran.
da, that he was on good terms with the B/i
-tifli government, and that that government
was difpefed to promote and fecorid his views
upon the Span iff) Main. The (hip’s cargo
was luroifhtd at the requeff, and according
to the directions, of Gen, Miranda ; and
(he is expend to return in all the month of
March, and net expefltsd to ffay at the port

| There were between ere th ee hundred
1 pistols, bought of various persons in the ci
ty ; about lour orfive thousand pikes; be.
tween five and fix hundred m fk ts ; between
thirty and forty cannon in the hold, among
which were two brnfs pieces, four pounders
and carriages for all the cannon ; not so ma

cured from Gen. Stevens’s corps, Ellis and
Shnw, Ripley, Center & Co. and Bernard
Halt—fen or twenty tons of cannon balls,
one half’s ton of mu fleet halls, one bund red
and fity quarter calks of powder, bought of
Low and Wallace, and Jonathan Ogden;
about one or two dezen (addles and biidles,
blue cloth jackets, and Ruflia (heettng trow,

made by Mr. Well man, about a thousand
or fifteen hundred in numbci ; the quantity
of articles, aims, and 1 q .ipcnenls, were pur
chased according to the advu-c ot General
Miranda—all the above articles this depo
nent believes were put on board before the
vtflel dropped down to the Narrows, and
so the belt ot this deponin '* knowledge,
recojleclton, and belief, the above warlike
articles were defiguedly emitted to he enter,
ed in their proper name in the captains m.m.
ildl of the veffVl’s cargo.; this deponent does
fuppofc from bis knowledge of the exptdi.
tion, that there was to he lome arrangement
among the men on board (he Leandti as to
subordination or rank after that arrival to
their deftinaticn.
Did net you under ft and from
gen. Miranda that it was his ohj: ft to heave
elf the yoke of the present Spamlh Govern
raent from the iiihabiiaets of the country to
which he was bound ?
This deponent answers that he underdo- d
his object was to relieve the people from cp.
pit (Son, but did not onfieiftand how this w s
to be tffkfted by him, and does fupp< f e the
above warlike articles were intend'd as at x.

hauled clafe by the wind. At 11, fee fired
three (hot at us. At 4 a. m. the wind
being light, (he came up with us, and fired
four (hot; we immediately hove to ; after
which they fired several vollics of* foiaU
armes into us, which, fortunately, did no
harm. They then hailed ns, and ordered
the captain on board, with his log-book
and papers, at the fame time using the moil

1 abusive When eapf. Arnold
got along fide,i he was told 10 return, as
they bad sent their boat on boaifl of us,
with a lieutenant and purser; who rumaged
the ship’s hold/ and by far exceeded their
captain in ahu(c. They examined the (lap's
papers, and then ordered the captain and
Cupercafgo on board their fnip* {which
proved to be the Britifls frigate La Psyche,
capt. ,) the latter to receive five dozen
at the gang-way, for quizzing his maje/iy’s
cjicets, as they termed it. On r arriving on
board, the supercargo teas ftiown the main
mail j and, after much abuse, was, with
the captain, ordered below cn the gun-deck ;
we were obliged to hand 1 a confidera- i
, ble while half-leg deep in wa:er, the fri
gate having carried her lee-guns under water 1
during the chafe—at length we heard feme
one fay, “ you firs; jump up here, God
damn you !” Soppofing they tr.eant the
failers, we ftded (till, although urged by
the rentry to afeend—until wc heard a
thundering voice pronoucc, “ I mean those
damn’d Yankee rascals.” When on deck,
we wore asked, “ how we dare run-away
from his majesty’s (hip /' and if we did not
“know it was duty of every Yankee
rafeal to lewerhis topfajls when within fight
of the Britilh fhg." The captain enquired
particularly of his lieutenant 'whether his /hot
had killed any of the damn’d rebels ; and
on being anfwertd in the negative, said, he
was firry Jor it ; and wished that a cannon,
(hot h?d taken o(F the head of that damn’d
internal Yankee fcoundiel, pointing to capt.
Arnold.
Our papers were then returned us by the
lieutenant, telling us their captain cenfider
cd us rco contemptible to admit us to his
presence, although at the time he was f;cn

do us if ever wc gave his mujrjij’s /hip ano
