He attempted two different days to inflate his balloon, but without fuccefs ; at length, to .grati6.the impatience of the public, who had twice repaired in great crowds to the place where the experiment wab to•be performed, he determined, on the zsth, to make a third trial, after taking the neceffary mealures to caufe his machine to afcend. At half after twelve the balloon wasinflated, and retained only by come cords. C. OtAVARI, defirous to realize the promife he had made in handbills to afcend in his machine, fixed to the extremity of it an ofier bafket, covered with paper, and put intoit various combußibles and fpii ituous liquors to maintain the fire in the chafing MI, which was fixed between this frail balket and the balloon.— He then entered are bafket, after having formally allured the Members of the Adminiaration who were prefent that there would be no danger ; he then caufed•the cords to be loofened. He loon role with fuch rapidity, that he difappeared in three minutes from the fpeaators ; the weather, indeed, was cloudy, and .the horizon was covered by a thick - fog. At one o'clock the Mayor &the Commune of Fleury, dillant about a league from the place where the balloon afcended, was informed by a farmer that a man had fallen from the clouds in the neighbourhood of the place where he had been at work. The. Mayor, after afcertaining the truth of this fad, immediately fent notice to the Prete& Of he Department, and the latter informed. the Mayor of Orleans, who went to the fpot, where he faw that the body found was that of Citizen Oe.tvac 1, who had fet out from Orleans in his bal -1 )on half an hour before his fall. .

The following dreadful affair happened near Stone Pound, in the night of.Tuefday laft :—The gxci re ma n of Hurft, and a perfon whom he hired to affitl him in the execution of his duty, of the name of Bignall, were on horfeback, for the pnr pofe of deteEting illicit traders, near the above place, on Tuefday night, when three men, on horfeback likewife, whom the Excifeman conceived were fmugglers, appearing on the road, he in- Randy crolied and defired them to halt. The fore moft of the three, probably miflaking him for a highwayman, enquired if it was his intention to rob him, and immediately railed a flick, or the handle of a whip to ftrike him ; when Bignall, the Ex cifeman's affiftant, levelled and difcharged his piftol. The ball entered the granger's body, a little above the hip, .on the left fide went directly through him, and lodged in the fk irt of his coat on the right. He dropped, and the Excifeman and Bignall, leaving him to the care of his allonifh ed friends, made off, and the next morning early gave an account of their proceedings to the Super- , vifor, at Lewes, who, it appears, moll feverely reprimanded them for their latiguinary conduCt.— The Exiifeman and Bignall, greatly alarmed, pro- - bably from what the Supervifor had faid to them, for their vwn fafety, left Lewes with much preci pitation. Bignall took the road- to Rottingdean, and, atlength i -fecreted himfelf in a cavity of the adjoining eliffs, where he, the fame day, was dif covered-by a man, who accidentally happened to ,pats the place of his concealment, alto infiantly. *cured him, and took him - to the public-honfe at Rottingclean ; from whence, foon after, under a thong efcott, he was reconduCted to Lewes. Big nall, when dragged from his-retreat in the cliff, by a Jingle perfim only, was dill armed with *pif tols ; he, however, made no refinance, to confirm. niately was he overcome by the recollection of the 4 rah aft which he had committed. On: reaching Lewes, they found that the Excifetnan had like wife been apprehended by the parties who had gone in quell of him. They were, therefore, taken together before the , acting Magiftrates, Mars. SHILLIT and GRSIIN, who, on hearing the fads flated,committed them both to Lewes Gaol; from whence, it is expeEted, they will in brought up for their final examination in the courfe of the week, ,and be fully coMmittea for Trial. The man who received the injury, was living laft night, though no hopes are entertained of his recovery. Neither he nor his companions, it it raid, had any contra- 'bared property with them when the affray happen. ed ; and if they had, whether a perfon merely employed by an Excite Officer, without any legal authority from Government, is empowered to ad in the above violent manner ? is at• prefent the cnr- CORN MARKE7 S.

DARADFUL FIRES.-Early on Monday morning, the cotton mill, the property of Mr. Denifon, and which has been lately worked by Meffrs- Oats, Ste vens and Co. fituate near Penny-foot Stile, Not ! tingham, was difcovered to be on fire, and not withllanding the immediate alarm, all Alliance was ufelefs, and in two hours this beautiful and ex. tenfive building was reduced to a mere thell. No 1 defcription can do jufliee to the terrific grandeur 1 of this fpedaele : the building, which is nearly 12c) ifeet in front, and fix_ ftbries high, (lands infulated, and was one of the greatell ornaments to the South view of Nottingham. In one hour after it.was dill covered, 'the whole of this elegant ilrhaure, was a , prey to this devouring element, ninety windows in front pouring forth columns of flame and coinbufti ble matter, fo as to endanger hayflacks in the mea -1 dots% at a quarter of a mile ditlance ; and when the roof and cupola fell in, tin, Life& can wily be 1 • - compared to a vokanic eruption. The contrail of i this immenfe and widely diffufed light to the dark ; nets of the night, the illuinination of the town, cattle, and the furrounding villages, and the vifi j ble iliftindnefs of the rnoft diftart objets in the landfcape,' produced , fuch a fublime and vivid ef i fed, as it will be as vain for the pencil to delineate las the pen to defcribe. Fortunately no lives were } loft ; and we hear that the building and' property I were infured, though not ne ar to t h e amount o f t h e mirchief.
