N. OiMMERIMS ThUR. M. CARNTRIN and Captain Sowoaw arrived in town from Cold:titer yclerday morning at three c'clock. M. GA/tNER IN has f4Jou►cd us v..ith the following particulars of his journey M. Gnat:ERIN feels that he owes to the public, a nd to the interest expreffed by the great number of perfons who went yetterciay to the Pantheon to fee his balloon, an account of his aeri.d jinn ney. The morning of the 28th (the day of his ascent ) appeared to promife weather diffidently fa vourabic for the afcent, though it was rainy. At eleven o'clock, therefore, he began the chytrical opera tions necenry for the produdion of the inflamma. Me gas. The hallon tilled rapidly, though con tiderably agitated by the wind. From one o'clock to half part four, the wind continued to increafe, and at length, blew lo yin. lently,that had he made any previnusexperiment in this country, he fhould have yielded to the earned ' folicitations of the brilliant and numerous company with which he was honoured, and fhould have de ferred his afcent to a period leis tempelluous. M. G/AItSiERIN, however, though he determined not to difappoitit the public expeaation himfelf,felt it to be his duty to:prels Captain Sou Dix not, for the fake of cutiofity, to expofe himfelf to the pe rils attendant upon fueh a journey in Inch weather. The Captain, however, refilled all there folicita tions, and refolved to accompany him. From a quarter pall four to five fome fhowers of rain fell, which only allayed the fury of t#►e wind for a fhort time, for After they had ceased it blew with more violence than ever. At five o'clock Me as. GARNIIIIN and Sownes took their feats, the curds were cut, and the bal loon afcended. Each held a flag of the nation to which he belonged, which he waved to the com pany prefent. The balloon Bra made the tour of the place where the fpeetators hood, and after be ing greeted with the loud plaudits and good wither, of every perfon, afcended majeftically and rapidly into the regions of the air. The wind blew from the S. W. The balloon therefore proceeded over St. James's Park, the Thames, and Wcitminfler and Blackfriar's Bridges. M. GAIWIRIN then found that the balloon be gan to defcend ; he threw out fome ballad, and it role immediately with great rapidity, and carried the travellers over the Cathedral of St. Paul's. Duffing all this time the whole metropolis was diaindly ken by the aeronauts, whole balloon was equally vitible to the inhabitants of the metropolis. When it was over St. Paul's, M. Ghtlo4 ERIN alked Captain Sownta how he felt himfelf ? The Cap tain replied that he was perfedly enchanted with his fituation, and with the fuperb expanfe of (ley, and with the earth, now fall leifening to the view, and loon to he feen no more.—The temperature of the atmofphere now began to change very ten thly, and to be fifteen degrees colder than when they began to afceud. It was extremely cold.— The balloon continued rapidly to afcend ; was loon above the clouds, and the earth was vi(ible no more. When the travellers were above the clouds, the climate became fenfibli milder : the inflam mable air began to dilate, and M. GUM tatr4 gave it all poffible means of vent proper fur their fafety. They now dined with good appetites, and very comfortably above the clouds, at an elevation of upwards of to,ooo feet above the earth. During the deffert, M. G•awraim told Captain Sowing, that the plealinteff part of their journey was paired, and that they mull now prepare for a very die= agreeable defcent, on account ci' the continued violence of the wind. About half an hour had elapfed fince their afcent. M. GARS ERIN now opened the valve, and the bal. loon defcended through black and cold clouds ; they then defciied land again, and alto the feu, to wards which their conrfe was fait carrying them : indeed they were nearly over that arm of it:. into which the Chelmer empties itfelf. As loon as they had approached fufficiently near the earth, they threw out their anchor and cable.— When the balloon firfi touched the ground, it re bounded with confiderable violence ; this rebound WAS followed by about twenty more, more violent than the fit a. The gulls of wind dragged them over fields and hedges, which tore their hands and clothes ; their anchor touched the ground fe veral times, but dragged ; and it was not till Come minutes had elapfed that it took a heady hold in a thicket near a hook. Here they conceived them. hives to be releated from all peril ; hut the inha bitants of the hook, alarmed at the balloon, would not atlill them ; nay, adually offered to t:e on the adventnrons travellti s. In the mean time the cable of the anchor broke, and they were Eirlitged through trees and branches, the balloon bea.,; agitated to an extreme degree, and rebound ing 5:1 y violently. At length they were dyiven a tree, and Captain SIIIV DE I received a f,..• ven: blu.w on the back part of his head. The bal. lona was now torn in the lower part, the cords brake, the boat broke ; the travellers had hold of a tree, from which they %acre torn by the violence el IL: : mind.

The time that elapfed front their departure to larding on the common was three quarters et an hoar. ?". G.IkNIRIN'S hands are much torn, and his i!? and thighs confiderably bruited.. Captain caotiess is much more hurt. He has received a fevei e blow on the back part of his head, and is 1::11 uikal and torn in other parts of his body tax Wiles and trees againit which they were Isl.Gtamsaits pays the higheft tribute to the cN-rage and cooluefs of his companion, who, after :••"!iailoo n firth rebounded,couldfeveral times have '''taped out of it with great cafe and fafety, but Ai • 11.--t r . r ,. • ELECTION OF PRIDOE-M;ISTER.

The quantity of rain which fell between the 24th of May and the 24th of June, is computed to be equal to 3806 inches. extcstar.—Tuefday was played a grand match of Cricket on Hampflead Heath, between eleven Gentlemen of the Mary-la-bonne Club and nine Gentlemen of Hamptleasl and Highgate, with two men given, for soo guineas, which was won by the latter, by tis runs. It is faid,that a new arrangementhas taken place with ref - pelt to the future direElion of Druz y-lane Theatre. The proprietors have placed the con trouling power and management in others.

The people where the travellers attempted lint to land, were exceilively alarmed at the fight. The throwing down the remains of the ham to a countryman, a farmer's fervant, first convinced them that they were human, and that fome pickings might be obtained by allifling them. A Woodcock of extraordinary faze was pre• Tented to his Majisry on Saturday laft—a rare circumltanee at this time of the year.

On Wednefday fe'nnight, at Sunderland, a hu man (keleton was found under the foundation of an old houfe in Stobb-lane ; it is fuppofed the houfe has Rood upwards of Go years, and was lately pulled down, and a Ream-mill is now erect ing thereon. The bones were entire, meafuring upwards of fix feet, and are fuppoled to have been the remains of tome perfon murdered, as there are mai ks of violence difcoverable on the (kull. At Binegar fair,Somerfetibire, there was a great number of fine horfes, which fold at high prices, as well as colts ; horned cattle and theep likewile fold dear.—Mr. Willis, of Phillips-Norton, near Bath, had a boric ftolen from him two years fince, which was loon after fold in the north of England, and again offered for fale at the above fair, where Mr. Willis recovered him. Friday a man riding a boric to a farrier's to be (hod, it fell dem with him, rolling over the man he broke one of his legs. He was immediately taken to the holpital, with little hopes of recovery. It is c3nfidzntly mentioned in the !aft accounts received at Hamburgh from Semlin, that a French Otlicer has arrived at %Viddin, charged by BONA PARTE to make a tenderofthe mediation of France to PASSWAN OGLOU, for the purpole of adjufting the differences of that Pacha with the Porte. This unexpeaed interference of this Firf Conful is, no doubt, the refult of an application to him on the part of the Turkil Government.
