General Miranda—We have
tbi‘morning seen n letter from
an officer on board the I candrr,
dated Trinidad, Julv 3th, from
which we have hern politely in

‘• Ir is reported that sir John
Rorlase Wat ten has arrived at
Rarbadoes. His intent 1 on in
coming to the West Indies is to
j< in and assist general Miranda;
he is said to have br tight dih
patches to general Boyer, a t Rar
badoes, commaudcr in chief in
the West Indies, authorising and
requesting him to render eicry
possible assistance in prosecu
ting tiic expedition.
