Extract efa letter from Trinidad,
dated November 14, received at
Baltimore.
“ Miranda is here with his ar
my, in the most deplorable condi
tion. They have hardly bread
to eat.—after his attack on the
Main, he proceeded to Barba”
does, but was fearful to land,
the shore beinglined with sheriff's
waiting to lay hold of him for
debts contracted thfere. He im
mediately left that and
arrived here a few days ago; in
consequence of which a meeting
of merchan ts and others petion
ed the government to compel
him to leave the place. They
have not however, been succss
ful. The governor has pledged
himself that he would carrv sn
no offensive operations wbtie
here, unless instructed so to do
by his court. He is execrated
by his own followers. 1 really
p .y a number oi those young
men whom he has so shamefully
deceived. Thus ends this great
expedition, and thus I trust will
end every expedition that has for
its object the revolutionizing and
ransacking of any country. —
Miranda is so much in debt, and
so many people ready to lay hold
of him, should an opportunity
offer, that I think he will uever
leave this Island.”

will be ihe result, heaven aloue

not think such an event likely—
