It is now ascertained that Col Bernardo's expedition (the adventurers headed by col. Magee) against the neighboring Spanish provinces has failed. They proposed terms to gov Salcedo requesting permission to retreat from the Spanish territory. To this Salcedo consented, excluding however, from the benefits of such arrangements, all the Spanish subjects associated with the invaders—to this the American part of the army would not consent, and are now shut up in Labadie, about 70 miles west of St Antonio. No doubt is entertained of their ultimate capture.
