The Honk of Lords was unufnally crowded with Ladies of the tied ditlinaion, and molt elegant at tire, who, intermingled with the Peers in their Robes, and in the pretence of the SovEISIGN and the great Officers of his Court, exhibited a coup Bail of great brilliancy and grandeur. His MAJESTY, AS is ufual on there occafions, was dretred in fearlet, both going and returning, and, we are happy to fay, we have net for many years' lien him look in better health and fpirits ; and was greeted by the populace with loyal refpeas.

TN FATR E, HAYMARKET.—A young Lady of the name of NORTON, made her debt on this Rage tlerday evening in the charader of Amelia Irian beim, in the comedy of Lover/ Vow:. Her perfon is elegant, her enunciation corred, and her coun ttnance folficiently expreftive. She has evidently fludied the part with great care, and in feveral fcmes, particularly thofe of the arch and lively call, the evinced talents that will, if judicioufly cul,; %fated, render her a valuable acquifition to our regular dramatic eilabliihment. Her deportment and adions were, with very few exceptions, eafy, and Ilnaffeded. This young candidate for public favour is the nizce of M: s. MAP .T r R, of Covent Garden Theatre, ;t(1 been induced to make her entree on tilde confiv:tnce of the fticcefs which attend e..l her ptt:i)iniances at the Pic Nit Theatre Inc': is greeted with general plaudit. by a full and •,.. PIC Nth FETE. Yefierday the Pic Nics concluded their fete at Ranelagh. About two o'clock the Regatta com menced by about forty of the Pic Nics framing from Whitehall-lairs in a large pleafure barge, in which were the Ducheffes of MANCHESTER and Gogoost, with Lady GEORGIANA GORDON, the DuchefTes of BUCCLEUGH, DEVONSHIRE, and LEEDS, Lord and Lady MORPETH, Lord CAR• LISLE, Lady 14. CAVENDISH, Marquilfes LORNE and FIARTINGTON ; Sir JOHN SHELLEY and Sir JOHN Riociezz ; Lords Cam ILFORD, CHOLPIoN. 13 - . LEV, MOUNT EDGCUMISE, STANHOPE, COwPER, OSSULSTONE ; Colonel GREviLLR ; mdirs. MAD• DOCKS, W. MADDOCRS, MITPORD, DAWKINS ; Mrs. FITZHERIBERT, Mr. and Mrs. VAUGHAN, &c. They were followed in a boat with a very large band of wind instruments, and they were attended by a number of other pleafure barges, filled with perfons of dillinaion. Lord CRAVEN was of the party in his twenty oared barge, which was rowed by his Lordfhip, nine of -his brethren, amateurs of the oar, and ten watermen. Had the weather proved favourable, it would have formed a very agreeable fpedacle. They reached Ranelagh land ing (lairs about rliree o'clock, after encountering a very Itrong ebb :ide and a iery firong breeze from the South Weft. They were fainted, on landing, with a volley from the foldiers on duty in the gardens. The hreaktaft confifted of all the delicacies of the feafon The wines were not only abundant, but of the bel quality. Thole who came with gui nea tickets were admitted to the gallery of the Ro tunda to breakfast, others that had half-guinea tickets breakfafted in the Rotunda below, at tables equally well tiipplied. But the principal attra6tion was the afcenfi.nt of M. GARNERIN in his (mall bal loon, hi. &It in this country. About four o'clock .the company quitted the breakfatt tables, and re paired to the Garden to behold the balloon. For his difplay yeflerday the Pic Nic Society contraa ed to give M. GARNERIN five handled guineas.— Captain SOWDEN, a member of the Pic Nic So ciety, agreed to accompany M. GARN ERIN, and it is laid he had a wager of two hundred gnineas de pending. A fccne fu novel and fublime could not fail to be truly interefiing. The figure and pro portions of the balloon were grand and beautiful ; its colours alterna . e feaions of dark green and yel low,diverfified by the netting. The yards in %%Melt were contah,eu Me materials from which the gas was generated, the tubes by which it was conveyed to the ballo.tn, the molt minute part of the intim ments, and the procefs, were examined with the moil pat titular attention that wonder and curiofity could excite. While the company were waiting in the Gar dens tor the afcent of ine balloon, they were enter tained with feveral excellent pieces of mulic by the band who attended the members of the Society on the River: the balloon had been filling (ince about nine in the morning, and a few minutes before five it was deemed Itifficiently filled to afcend, and M. GARNER IN Qepped into the car under the balloon. Captain SOWDFN was entreated by a lady in com pany with him not to go, but her entreaties did not avail, and he followed M. GAR MERIN. The ropes which fattened it on the grass plat were then loofened, and it was drawn twice round the circle in which it was enclided. M. G. then inftrated the men who held it to flacken it, to try if it would afcend freely, which they did, and it not riling to his mind, he threw out tome ballaft, which com pletely anfwered the purpofe. Three fignal guns were fired for his afeent, and juit as the balloon was riling Captain Soma fat down, but Mr. G. mulled on his standing, or he atfured him the con fequences would be fatal to him. The balloon af cended in the molt majeftic manner, amidst the plauditsof upwardsof one thoufand fpeflators who were affembled in the Gardens, and Capt. Sow- DEN ascended in the melt un daunted manner, joining M. G. in waving a flag and throwing out ballast. The car was richly decorated with flags of different nations in honour of the peace. Immenfe crowds were affembled in Batterfea fields, the upper part of Millbank, Tothill-fielkis, Chelfea, Pimlico ; every window, every houfe top, every tree, was filled; Chelfea gardens were crowded, the river was covered with boats, while the banks on both tides, and every avenue from town towards Ranelaglf were fo thronged, it was difficult to find a paffage through them. The great road from Buckinghanagate was abfo!...eiy im partible, or at lealt the carriages, which formed an unbroken chain from the Turnpike to Bane ! lagh door, could only advance to flowly that many perfons preferred getting out on the way, and ftruggling through the crowd at any rifque. It is in fa& impoffible to form an idea of the num bers who went out to view this fublime and novel tight. Thole who were unable, or unwilling, to Ito to the fpot, were extremely fortunate in teeing It pats over the town, to low, as to be perfeelly Peen • M. Gaameitin and Capt. Soweism faluting as th ey paired along, and feeming to contrive, by the management of their ballaa, Sce. to remain purpofely at that elevation, from which the whole city would be likely to have the belt view. No balloon that ever before went up, took a courfe fo direaly over London, from W. to E.— It paffed ever the Five Fields, part of the Park, Pall-Mall, Charing-Crofs, the Strand, Fleet- amt. Ludgate-hill, St. Paul's Church-yard, &c. and could be diftinaly Peen above every Rivet. Every houfe and !hop was totally deferted; every foul flocked into the ftreet. M. GAZNERIK could be dittinFtly teen waving the flags, and at one time he came very low, upon which he threw out ascended, and was loft behind a cloud.— Soon after this a smart thower fell ; notwityissid ins which the adventurous efronauts iturfued their ever, ad arrived at Cokhefier, is Ape, p mikrfront Lan den, in a few hours, where they landed without any w ste Previous to the afcenfion the wind was veryboif terous, and it rained pretty hard. The balloon. however, did not feem to be irregularly agitated. but floated along very Readily. We are not able rn eftimate very accurately to what height the bal. 1 afcended.

They were refrethed with tea, coffee, and a molt excellent cold collation, and they had not all left Ranelagh at (even o'clock. A large party of the light horfe and the foot guards were Ilationed in all clire6lions leading to Ranelagh. under the controul of Sir RICHARD FORD, likewife all the Bow-greet Officers and Pa trole came aftel they had attended his Majeay to and from the Pailtament Houle ; hut for all theic very proper pre,:autions to ke,:p the peace, &c. Conoll)'s daring gang of pickpockets were plun dering people in Cheilea. GARNERItI is of the middle ftze, with an ex prellive countenance and a quick eye, extremely a;rive and alert, and particularly in in the moment of alcending. Capt. iownvN is of a tall, m:tnly figure : he teemed rather to feel a ;*clernn and de cided refolution than a thoughtlefs gaiety, Udell. tible of the value of what it expofes. A dreadful accident happened at Buckingham gate, immediately after the alcent of M. Garnerin's balloon. A gentleman driving a curricle through the gate, the horfes took fright, turned round, and gallopped furioufly down the Park, until they &A evl the curricle to pieces by tiriking againti a tree. We are lorry to add, that the Gentleman was taken up with no figns of life remaining. A petition of t 2=l. per annum will, it is raid, be granted to the Counters of CLUE. The rumour of the death of the ARCHDUKE CHARLES is, we are happy to hear, unfounded. This morning arrived a mail from New York and Halifax, brought to Falmouth by the SPENCER Packet in 3o days ; and a mail from the Leeward Hands, by the QUEEN CHARLOTTE Packet in 36 days, by which we received American papers up to the 31ft of May. They contain feveral reports of the terms of Toussaitcr's furrender, but nothing is certainly known on the fubjeft. According to one account, the Negro Chief fubmitted on the conditions of being maintained in the tindifturbed polliffion of his eftates, and being appointed to the rank of Lieutenant General of the ifland. Cttets vorme had obtained terms equally favourable, and was to have a confiderable command in the North". At the Cape the general opinion was the rebels had obtained ample affurances of a complete Amnefty front the French General. Another account places this affair in a very dif ferent light. TOUSSAINT'S furrender, was, it is faid, the immediate confequence of a fevere battle, in which the French were completely victorious. Finding all further refinance ineffectual, he offered to flibtnit, provided all his officers %vete allowed to retain their cornmand.—Lgct-Eac refilled to liflen to fuch propofitions,' and under the embaraf ling circumflancesinwhich he found himfelf placed, TouSSAINT agreed to an unconditional furrender. His flipulations did not go beyond an affurance of perfonal fafety. From the French account itfelf, however, it is not difficult to collect that the fur render was not of the humiliating kind here Rated. A Letter from Baltimore, of the z4th of May, mentions the arrival of Captain ROGERS. of that port, and Captain DAVIDSON, of the St. Domingo packet, after experiencing the utmon leverity of treatment in the ifland. It is raid that they were " immured for 18 days in a loathfome, pelbferous prifon, at the Cape, four of which they paired in a feparate dungeon. During there four days they were not fuffered to take any other fuftenance than bread and wa.er, and they were wholly debarred from the visits of their countrymen." On being releafed, they were peremptorily orderci to quit the ifland in four days, on pain of death, and Without having the caufes which led to their im• prifonment in the flighten degree explained. The American Journalifts inveigh in very warm terms againit the condud of LECL EC, and call loudly for the Government to take up the Winds with becoming fpirit. Letters from Port Republicain Rate the failing of a frigate, with 300 troops on board to take pof feffion of Guadaloupe, but we have accounts through the French Papers of Rica sPANIE'S ar rival in the ifland. From the refult of the elections in molt of the States, it appears that the federal intereft is ra pidly gaining ground. Yefterdayisir.Heevitt, a Puller of the Navy, fen tenced to Rand in the pillory and to be imprifoned two years in Newgate, for defrauding his Majelty of naval fibres, underwent the former part of the fentence oppofite to the Admiralty.

Our manufaaures of cloths, hofiery, and particularly printed cottons, are in a languifhing Rate, as all our channels of confumption have been fuddenly fhut up. There can he no doubt that the Englifh have profited, and will continue to profit, by the perrniffion of importing into France the print ed cottons of Switzerland, to introduce their own manufadures. The (hops and warehouks are glutted with there articles ; and it is no longer to be wondered at that no orders for affortments axe received at the French manufactories. The greater part of our calico mannraeturers keep their men only that they may not he unem ployed ; but if the prefent want of demand con tinues, they mutt (hut up their workfhops by the middle of September.
