Ram'', JU LY 22.—General Diati,in consequence of his late promotion to the rank of General, left this place cn Tuesday last, amid the regrets of the mili tary and inhabitants. The many lasting proofs he has left behind him, of his benevolent and paternal ad ministration are not to be enumerated. His able zeal and successful exertions to render this isle inac cessible to au enemy, the many improvements and ameliorations every where planned and directed by himself; his support to its trade and commerce ; his' attention to every one, and his conciliating nmncts, have left in the hearts of all, impressions which time cannot efface, and which will be handed down to the latest p-sterity.—lf it were possible to alleviate the lots so truly felt by the inhabitants of Jersey on this occasion, the appointment of Lieutenant-General' TURNER •fk terrace General Don, as Governor, would greatly tend totit. 1 , - Coeur-NrAftrtAL.—At a General Court-martial, held at Schilda, in Holland, on the 25th of Aril, 1811, Captain EDWARD FITZPATRICK, of the 33J Re giment of Foot, was arraigned upon the undermen tioned charges, viz.- Ist.

We omitted yesterday in the list of presentations at the Levee on Thursday, Captain Tree;, of tbe. 93d Foot, Aid-de-Camp to Sir THOMAS Picrots. THE GRAND JUBILEE. Various precautions, we observe, are taking to prevent the ill consequences of narrow approaches to the Park on the ensuing Fete. Very large por. dons of the railing and dwarf.wall in Piccadilly have been thrown down. Nearly the whole of the Bird.' cage walk and a part of the Mall are now hung with the Chinese Lanthorns, in all their fantastic variety of decorations. The Buckingham-house Bridge is nearly complete. The Long Gallery and the Arcaded Gallery, in front of the Old Royal Library, -in the Green Park, are handsomely lined with crimson— the circular Royal Booth, jar excellence, with scarlet cloth. On the parapet of the Long Gallery, which is for the Ministers of State, the Household, Foreign Ministers, &c. there is in the centre a large-Tablet inscribed 4 , WaLtiscrou •" and on each side, the names of the thief Generals who commanded - ureter his Grace in Spain, viz. CLINTON, PICToN, ES• FORD, HILL, STEWART, Gaattast, Corrox, hoer. :11ie front of these Galleries is painted yellow, with line and lozenge ornaments in black : it is to be dis; tinguished by a profusion of variegated lamps, and ornamented with flags. The Grand Erection in the Green Park is desig nated " the Temple of Ooncord."glt is said, that the intended Fire-works will exceed any thing of the sort that has yet been attempted. The eight Fountains will very beautiful. The Chinese Bridge and Pagoda begin to look very pretty. The general colour will be yellow, and all the roofing a very bright blue. It will be almost covered with lamps, amongst which the gas ligl.ts will have the greatest share. Several little boats arc already swimming in the Canal, which are to be adorned with ensig,ns and lamps.. The astrekacloof tfie CUM) taThetettelred of the weeds braethith it was covered, preparatory to the introduction of the' boats. The old wood railing: around the incloluret have been repaired—and within those have been' placed, entirely round the Park, a range of chrome de-frite, so that the improper intrusion bf persona who do not purchase tickets will be effectually pre vented. • An immense number of common soldiers' close tents have been pitched in clusters of half a do. zen each, which have an extremely pretty effect. Man)► of these are intended as receptacles fire ladies' cloaks, and places for private retirement. The larger tents, for refreshments, have been taken with avidity by confectioners and ratorateurs, who will ptovide ample magazines of solid and light food - , to suit the palates of all ranks. Several stages for danclhg have been laid down. In Hyde Park the Fire-works will he worts grand scale. One flight of rockets alone will consist of thousand half-pound rockets. The other discharges will be upon a scale equally magnificent. There wilr be some new and splendid fire-works, water-wheels, itc. on the bosom of 'the Serpentine. The Naval Spectacle on the Serpentine will not be a representa tion of the battle of Trafalgar, but of the Nile, which w.is fought on the Ist of August—tie Annirersai y also of the Accession of the House of Brunswick to the Throne. It will be recollected, that in that battle the French Fleet at Aboukir, in a line so close to the shore, the French Admiral thought only of being prepared on one side to receive the English Fleet, that bore down to attack him. Lord Nelson, how. ever, ordered part of his fleet to run up between the enemy and the land, in doing which, the Culloden, the leading ship, ran right aground ; the other ves sels of the division, however, succeeded, while his Lordship, with the other part of his fleet, raeged up on the sea-side. One half of the French fleet was thus included, as it were, in a forceps, attacked on both sides and destroyed, up to the centre, where the l'Orient, the Admiral's ship, blew up in the night with a terrible explosion. The fight of Monday will he an exact imitation of these nianceuvres. It will he under the directiCa of Captain Billy Brows, t.f Deptford, who was in the battle of the Nile. A Dublin Paper received yesterday, says, that such is the disturbed state of Ireland, that Judge Firroutut, in travelling the circuit from Kilkenny to Clonmell, was obliged to have an escort of 12 dragoons, not withstanding which, in one town (Callan) the popu lace pelted him with stones. • The letters from Liverpool received yesterday, mention that about 2000 bags of cotton wool had been purchased on Wednesday in the market at ad vanced prices, information having been received from Ghent that the American Commissioners there had acquainted Ministers at the Court of London, that it was in vain to appoint Deputies to meet them, as they had uo sufficient instructions to conclude a peace under the new circumstances of Europe. A Gentle man, however, who left Ghent as late as Wednesday, positively states that the Republican Plenipotentiaries were waiting anxiously for the appseennen of the British Commissioners, and that theft epubb b e • fou.udation whatever for itch a stag e it t • '' • .'atA6l4lll•llisr ASCENT &' MR. SADLER'S BALLOON. 0•11••••=1•11=. Yesterday the curious part of the inhabitants of London were on the alert, Co witness another depar. tare in Mr. Sadler's Balloon from Burlington-house. The wrist voyage in this instance was rendered pecu liarly interesting. A Miss Thompscn, who we nn deruand is an inmate in Mr. Sadler's family, and the same lady who ascended with him from Dublin, was to take a seat in the car with Mr. Sadler, jun. Aeros-1 cation is not the subject of so much admiration as it was some years since ; but the appearance of a lady eying on the wings of the wind, is now almost a no• velty in England. No lady has made the attempt since Madame Garnerin went up at Vauxhall, and the undertaking on the present occasion was a muter of attraction. There is a disposition on the part of a British pub lic to sanction and support every woman of spirit, who boldly throws herself on their protection, and we may say hundreds of thousands attended to bestow applause and encouragement. Miss Thompson has long been desirous of mount ing in a Balloon from London, and, it is but justice to say, she availed herself of the opportunity with firmness and resolution, not excelled in any example of female courage. The Balloon was iu every respect the same machine that ascended on a previous occa sion. The apparatus was placed at the North Last angle of the Court-yard, and by three o'clock the Ba.loon was partially inflated. It v.-4s concealed from the spectators who paid for admission, by large pieces of canvas, which hung sacred as the curtains of a Turkish divan, no person being allowed to enter the enclosure except the men employed in conveying the gas. The comp.lny found some consolation fur this check cn curiosity, in the elegant d.splay of beauty and fashion. The mansion windows were occupied by ladies drank, and the Court-yard was riot without a large portion of fashionable promenaders. In addition to the amusement-produced by the ex cellent company, which frequently caught tile ey e, the King's own Staffordshire militia band performed some exquisite music. There was also a band from one of the regiments of Guards, and each played al ternately. 011 the top of Burlington-house a marquee was pitched, which made a very gay appearance.— All the roots of the houses commanding a view of the ascent were crowded, as might be expected. While the Balloon was tilling, and the company remained in expectation in the Curt-yard, a busy scene was going on without the gates in l'iccadiiiy. A party of life guards were stationed to preserve order among the populace ; but all their endeavours did not prevent several daring fellows from mounting the will to the parapet. A few wine dislodged before they cculd gain the top. The successful, however, when out of the reach of the guards, thought proper, to laugh and express their contempt, whicn afforded the mob no small slate of mirth. The wind, which had blown fresh from the south-west quarter during the day, increased to a strong gale, arid many per sons were apprehensive the lady wonl,l not ascend. In that they were, however, quite mistaken. The gale, which occasioned the 13.11100 n to move, not,-.li.,stan3ing its confinement, with considerable trgitatiort, had no effect on the intention cf the female afonaut ; sire re fused to hear any observation to alter lOC restittien, exclaiming to her companion, 0. Can joiti go up " Certainly," was his ato, u.cr. ~ Theo" fia id the Lady with a trnile-6 , What man dare I dare!" At four the Balloon contained gas enough to carry the zronauts seventy miles, the distance it was calculated they would go. It was then partly atlized to the car, and at halt-past lour the atten dants remoVed it from the canvas screens to the other side of the yard, in order to give it room to clear the buildings. The gas, which had not previously put the Balloon in shape, immediately gave the silk the regular appearance, and nothing was wanting but the anal travellers. Mr. Sadler, jun. got into thii car with much coolness, and was busily tmploved tying the cords which fastened Ile net-work, vThen Miss Thompson came with several ladies and petqiern4.ll, her friends. Sire was dressed in a lilac silk pelis;e, with a neat straw hat and feather—she was interest ing in her appearance, and genteel in manner. An indescribable sensation evidently pervaded the feeling part of the spectators. There arb many not yet reconciled to the safety of this sort of conveyance, and dread the slightest disas ter which would inevitably plunge a tine bold spirited young u (mon to destruction, occasioned great anxiety. Miss Thompson, as we have before observed, was 'firm and determined. The confusion occasioned by moving the Balloon was enough to shake the firmest nerves, the Lady, hiiwever, did not appear to feel it. Having taken her station in the car, the Balloon, under tire direction of Mr. Sadler, sen. was conveyed to a platform where the car rested. A pause ensued, during which the friends of the adventuress took a farewell ; a person at the same moment exclaimed among the crowd round the Balloon—" Goo bless you, Mary,"—then addressing his companion, I have, known her, said he, since she was an infant. lam sure there is not another woman in - England would do this. We observed, at that moment, the countenanced the young Lady, and we thought there was an ap pearance of emotion ; a tear stood in the eye of seve ral of the spectators. That was the moment when feeling was beyond description . 'The car was released from the hands of the men who held it, and the Bal- loon mounted with great rapidity, dashing aver the North-East wing of Burlington-house. Miss Thomp son stood erect, and Waved her white handkerchief ; Mr. Sadler waved the flag—both acted with all the courage imaginable, returning the shouts of the people until last to view. The Balloon ascended, to an elevation from which the fair uronaut must have felt all the sensation de scribed in the beautitul lines of Shakespear " How dizzy 'tis to cast ones eyes so low The crows and (loughs that wing the midway air, Skew scarce so gross as beetles. 1 he fishermen that walk upon the beach Appear like mice, and yon tall anchoring bark Diminisled to her cock : Her cock a buoy • Almost too-small for sight. The murmuring surge s That on the unnumbered idle pebbles chafes, Cannot be beard so high.—ril louk no more, Lest my brain turn." Impelled by the wind, it (hove away to the north, About two points east, passing over Islington in the ESI"' The spectacle presented on this oc eilr.ii :arr. eaiion was, on the i►hole, int:ft wpirioc to the foe= mer ascent. Among the company in Burlingtbn Carden - k we noticed the Duchess of Devonshire, Earl And Cenin. teas of Besborough, Marchioness of Camden; Lord and Lady M , ,rpeth, Lord Duncannon, Colonel Thorn um, Lady flarriet Gore, Captain Fitzclarencei Jordan, and several foreigners of distinction. At one o'clock this day no intelligence whatever of the descent of the balloon had reached town, and we regret to add, that feari are entertained for the. safety of the aerial voyager,. Mr. SADLER, sen. who resides in Great Pultener street, has visited Burlingtet.house several times is the course of the morning, in it *state of considerable anxiety and alarm. He expressed iris fears that the vio. knee of the wind may have tarried the b Moon with unexpected rapidity towards the Ger:tars Ocean, at the same time having the fullest confidence in the Mutt and dexterity of his son (Mr. Wrantram SArmatt). he entertains hopes that he may hay. h_en able, kir taking advantage of some shift of wind, to kvep tie suspended over Terra Firma, in which ease the gale must have drifted it very far to the math. ward. 'llett. scientific spectators who were piesent estimate the rate at which the Balloon went off at iro miles an hour, which is almost as great as thou! all similar excursion-. Since writing the above, we have learnt that a Gentleman has (cached Town, who left I)4ver yes• terday, and who saw the Balloon At seven u'clot k at night as be pasied through Rochester. The B Moon seemed much agitated by the wind. The titrinauts would rubably descend soon after, as they were the* within sight of sea.

A l!rge portii.n of Militia ht the neighbourhood blacked themselves and put on the Negro habit, when, procee3ing to the s h ores, they, hailed the British shipping, from which a immiter of boats, with their crews, were dismissed.in tli hope of receiving a large stock of Negro malccr.tents. As soon as the sailors* had he .!ed, the militia produced their arms, the men from the shipping were made prisoner.,, and Ail the boats were c2ptiired. Since this, expedient was adopted by the Republicans, we heliove that no further attempt has been made to carry of the dissati,fied Slaves in those provincei.
