This rise is ascribed to the • .return of Lord Gnauviu.a, the English Ambassador, to Paris, and the distinguished reception he met with on his arrival in that capital. Extracts from the Paris Papers, which arrived last night, will be found in another column. They possess considerable interest. It will be seen that Count CAPO d'lrmata, whose arrival at Berlin on his way to Sr. Petersburgh, we mentioned some days since, has been appointed President of the Greek Government for the space of seven years. Letters from Barcelona of the 16th, received this morning, state that the troubles in Catalonia are spread ing, and that the insurgents are become so formidable, as to defy the combined efforts of the troops of the line and the Royalist Volunteers. The insurgents have their chief strength in the neighbourhood of Gerona, and their numbers are augmenting daily. In the adjoining province of Arragon, .several bands have also made their appearance, and have repeatedly measured swords with their opponents. Letters from Bayonne niche 19th announce the arrival there of General SILVKIRA, uncle to the Marquis of CHIAVIM These amiable relatives, inaead of trying to console one another in their misfortunes, are doing what they can to increase the weight, and deprive themselves at the same time of all sympathy, by their continual disputes and mutual charges of treachery. We received this morning Brussels Papers to the 26th instant. They contain extracts from the Journals of Batavia to the 27th January, detailing the latest mili tary operations between the insurgents and Dutch troops, from which it is obvious that the war was very far from its termination at that period. The particulars of several. actions are given, in which the Dutch uni formly claim the advantage; whilst it is as constantly admitted that the insurgents wets the assailants. According to an article‘in the Brussels Papers, ex- 1 tracted from the Courier du Leman, Lord Cocu utiles has 'already signalized his acceptance of the commind Abe naval forces of Greece by a splendid exploit. He is said to have entered Navarin, the finest port in the Mores, Whesehe found six Turkish vessels, four of which he cap tured. It is further stated that he afterwards made himself master of another vessel, which had come from Egypt, laden with provisions for the use of IBRAHIM PACHA. Wishing that this account may prove true, ee are sots./ to say, that it wants many circumstances to entitle it to implicit credit ; fur in the first place, it makes no motion of the previous movements of his Lordship ; and, in the next, no date is affixed to the transaction. The relation, however, is plausible, notwithstanding these omissions ; and, should it be confirmed, it would no doubt raise the spirits of the Greeks, as much as it would depress the courage of their enemies, and justify the most sanguine hopes of the friends of Greece in the effoots of Lord COCHRASS76 co-operation. We also received Frankfort Papers to the 20th inst. containing an extract, from a Smyrna Journal (the Oriental Spectator) of the 13th April. This extract states, upon the authority of recent advices from Con siantinople, that the Divan had begun to carry into execution the principal articles of the Treaty of Aker mann, and that the best understanding prevailed be tween the Porte and the Russian Legation. This state of things, it is added, was highly agreeable to the rume rnus population of the Turkish capital. We do not know what degree of confidence ought to be placed in this statement, at it is notorious that the Spectator is in the habit of she wing only the fair side of the relations between Rus.ia and the Porte, and that it eagerly grasps at gni report, however lor:se b 'ihich favouri its wishes ; and enables it to follow its confirmed practice, in this re sped[. It very rarely exhibits the dark side o the picture ' s od we are inclined to suspect that the present account pis at forth for the express purpose of couoterActios character. Letters from Augsburgh of the 18th. stata that Austria has been for some time past exerting all her influence to heal the new differences, but th it the effects of her intervention have by no means Corres ponded with the zeal by which it is misled. It is said the Emperor NICOLAS is determined to take energetic and decisive measures, and in support of this opinion, it is added, that he has sent a circular t 6 all the European Cabinets, containing an expose of the motives, which ir ducedßussia to temporise so long in 6e affairs of Tot key, and which now urge him to adopt a different course. He then invites all his Allies to join with him in efforts to re-establish peace in the East ; whilst he declates that the interests of his Empire are more immediately compromised than those of any other Power, by the anarchy which has desolated some of the provinces of the Turkish dominions for these six years. He con• eludes with stating, that if the Porte do not accede to his ‘ demands belote the middle of next month, the army of /3essatabia shall in this case % cries the Pruth, and occupy provisionally Moldavia and Wallachia. We give this iotelligence without pledging ourselves for its accuracy, or without even pretending to know %tether it be apocryphal or not. In the mean time the movement, visible in the Russian armies, is rather of a portentous character ; whilst, on the other hand, the deep interest. which the other European Powers have to prevent Russia from aggrandizing herself at the expense of Turkey, is such a check upon the Russian*Cabinet, as may induce it to veil its ambitious designs some time longer. We also received this morning, Dutch Papers to the 26th, and Hamburgh to the 23d, bat they contain no thing of the slightest interest, except a Proclamation of the reigning Doke of Bautrawica, annulling all the acts of his Government, from the SOth October, 1E22, to 30th October, 1823, under the pretence, that daring this interval * he was illegally kept in a state of minor it]. It would appear from sense circumstances, which have recently transpired, that it would be well- fbr his Highness, if he had been excluded from the cares of governing by himself for some years longer. • They write from Madrid, of the 15th May, that the Treasury of that Government is in a more precarious state than ever; and they are still obliged to make more sacrifices in sending a considerable sum of money to General SAaSVZILD, to pay the troops their arrears, as well as to give them a month in advance to prevent fur ther desertion. They also write from Seville that the whole province of Andalusia is going to be put in a state of defence.

The Tyne is to rejoin the squadron. The merits of the respective ships may thus be stated :—The Challenger has proved hetself al ways the hest ship on a wind, In all cases; the Columbine is nearly equal to her in strong winds and smooth water, but loses that ad vantage as the sea increases; the Sapphire is a fine skip, and supe rior to the Columbine in any sea, but not equal to the Challenger; the Wolf is superior to the other two corvettes; the Trimulo (brig) is muck superior to the Alert (sloop). Off the wind the Challenger and Sapphire are nearly equal; next, the Columbine; the Wolf beau the other Corvettes; and the Trinculo superior to the Alert.

CHARLIS GROIN'S ACCOUNT Or HIS PIRII.OII ASCENT TERM NEWBURY. On the evening of Thursday last Mr. CHAILU Golsen, the veteran aeronaut, made his 69th a s cent is his splendid balloon, from the town of NewSuiy, is Berkshire, under the most discouraging circumstances, He was accompanied by Mr. H. Samosa, a Gentle. man of Beading, who has been deaf and duaab from his infancy. The following interesting part culars Of his tempestuous voyage are thus described by Mr. Gisgati:- 1, My second ascent from this town since I left London being announced to take place on Thum day last, all the necessary preparations were made, and the balloon was inflated early in the day. Notwithstand ing the morning being' very squally, a great number of visitants had assembled in the ground before two o'clock, at which hour we were visited by a most ire. mentions storm of hail, rain, and thunder, the wind at the time blowing a perfect hurl icane, which in a 'eery few seconds cleafed the ground of the company, sad threatened inevitable derttructi ,a to the balloon itself, which could scarcely be kept down although loaded with two tons weight of iron, and the united exertion of nearly one hundred individuals holding to the net. work. This storm continued nearly one hour, when it partially subsided, and betwixt four and five o'clock the clouds broke up and dispersed ; but the wind coos tinned to rage with unabated fury the whole of the evening. A little before six o'clock, the ground being filled with company, I entered the car followed by my compagnon du voyagt, Mr. Simmons, who had once before ascended with me from Reading ; and hcsing secured the grappling iron, and all the necessary appa ratus, at six o'clock precisely I gave the word " Away." The moment the machine was disencumbered of in weights, it was torn, by the violence of the wind, from the exhausted assistants, who had bees contending with the combined fury of the elements during the whole day; and bounded off with the velocity of lightning in a south-easterly direction, and in a very emu space vi time attained an elevation of nearly two miles. At this elevation we perceived two immense bindies of cloud; operated on by contrary currents of air, until at 'aligt. they became united : at which moment my ears sere assailed by the most awful and long-continued peal or thunder I ever heard. These clouds were a full ee beneath us; but perceiving other strata fl ating the same elevation we were sailing, which, It'll their appearance, I judged to be highly chargel with electric matter, I considered it prudent to airs. charge . 201 b. of ballast; and we rose nearly hair a mile above our former elevation, where I considered se were perfectly safe and beyond their influence. How ever awful our situation might have been conside.e,: by those on earth who witnessed the storm which fulloiccci it was highly interesting to us, as I had an oppigtuni:y of observing, amongst other phenomena, that at eve'T discharge of thunder, all the detached pillars of clouas within the distance of a mile round, became attracted, and appeared to concentrate their force with the first body of clouds alluded to, leaving the atmosphere clear and calm beneath and around us. With vei y trifling vvria' tion, we continued the same course until about a quarter past seven, when I began to make preparations for a descent ; and having opened the valve, and s uffered a quantity of gas to escape, we reached wi.hin 500 feet of the earth ; but perceiving from the disturbed surface of the rivers and lakes beneath us, that a strong went of air still existed near the earth, we again ascended, and continued our coarse until upwards of half-pot seven, when I determined on making a final descent, which was safely effected in a meadnw field in the parish of Cranley, in Surrey, situate betaken fold and Horsham, and fifty-eight miles from Ives bury ; which stormy, yet in a great degree inte testinr voyage, was performed in one hour and half. Every accommodation and assistance was aff ooled us, and the balloon and its appendages being roped! secured, we returned to Newbury on fa iday morrieti. and received the hearty congratulations of dote s"' from the effects of the storm be:ovt, had some Jewel' of our ever reachir g terro.firmo in safety. My WO' nion appeared highly gratarcl with the novelty of I I " situatioa, and I cannot speak too highly ofhiscon'ne o . aced presence of mind amidst the sus roundi g datiwo. I .
