$ _ was neatly wind caused .it immediately the Pa•la, for a salute balloon rose, Ind the speCta iiration by a general !' It passed vertically over Constantinople, where it was plainly seen by all the inhabitants, and gradually lessened to the sight ; the Emperor all the while viewing it through a telescope. - In forty minutes it was no longer visible ; and, on the Friday after noon, was picked up by some boatmen, floating near the shore of the Island of Cyricum, 120 miles distant from town. I conjecture that it continued in the air about eighteen or twenty hours, because, when only half filled with gas, it was capable of sustaining itself, and it conk not lose that quantity of gas in a much shorter interval. DESVIGNEs and myself were then called forward to salute the Emperor at a respeaful distance, and receive the Imperial bounty ; but judge our sur whoi a man, who had been only employed in laying on the varnish, was also called upon ! no dis enmination being made here between the artist and the mere workman ; of which take the folloulng as a specimen : " A celebrated organist having given a specimen of his talents,' the Turks ordered a handsome pecu niary gratification, but gave the larger part of it to the be gravely remarking, that as be had the greatest share of the labor, he was ;witted to the greatest share of rescard ! ! But we were destined to receive a greater mortification ; for a fourth person, who never had the least concern with the balloon, was, in a manner, smuggled into our party, and re ceived the same share of the present as we did. This scheme was contrived by some of the Court favourites, in order, by this shuMing manner, to pay off a debt owing to this person, at the expence of the Emperor, who was,' most probably, deluded into an idea of his having had a considerable share in the construCtion of the ballocn. But the 'ft:As are invariable the same. As they possess neither ta lents nor science themselves, so are they incapable of discerning, or appreciating the value of them in others." 3.

The FIRST CoNsui. has issued proclamations for tlw regulation of the elation of individuals who aspire to the honour of having Seats in any of the public bodies. 'These proclamations affeft to pay the utmost deference to the free and unbiassed choice of the people ; and, as a proof of the concern of the FIRST CONSUL to give them a fair opportunity of making this choice, orders have been ►ssued to pro hibit the approach of the military to any of the tov. - as where elections are ping forward. This is all very plausible ; but what avails this free dom of doaion, in the first instance, .when it is well enough known that with the Govern ment the ultimate choice resides. The people have the privilege of forming the general lists, hut with Bo w*? Aare is lodged the power of the select appoint ment. It is vain to talk of the freedom of election under such a constitution as France now possesses; the will of the government is the only law for the people ; and if, under that government, they enjoy a considerable degree of conifort, this is to be ascribed to the leniency of the FIRST Cosset, and not to any constitutioual checks on the abuse of ish autllority, 1 ":":7 WE = FROM LLOYD'.

A private letter from Paris, says, g 4 The fashions, the politics, and the speculations of Paris, are all, for the preseht, at a stand. Nothing is talked of at present but the epidemic disorder, which continues to desolate this capital. The mortality which it has oc casioned, within the last month, is beyond all prece dent. I can state, from officialautliority, that the number of deaths in the last month was the quadru ple of that in January 1802. PUGILISM, Monday a pitched battle was fought, enWimble don Common, for twenty guineas a side. The Combatants were Smith, the Boot-closer, who was beat a short time ago by young O'Donnd, after an hour's hard fighting, and Curry, a Pugilist of some note, but who has not entered the lists for these last seven years. The 2/man-tint promised them selves much sport, and numbers attended the field of battle, notwithstanding the dirty weather, and the length of the way. The opponents set-to at one o'clock, and continued the contest for twenty-two rounds. The first and second rounds were in fa nour of Smith, who was indisputably the strongest man. The alaird round was well contended on both sides • but Curry hitting Smith a violent blow on his temples, knocked him down, himself falling with the force of his own blow.—From that to the tenth round was nearly even betting. The eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth rounds seemed in favour of Curry, when he sprained his right hand, which en tirely gave the turn of the battle against him ; and although he fought on with great spirit and resolu tion, it was.evident, from the little use he could make of his crippled hand, that he must eventually give-in. He frequently, in the course of the battle, was •urged to yield ; but he gave two reasons for his re fusal : first, that it was necessary he should prove his bottom ; and in the next place, satisfy his friends that he had made the best of a bad business. At the conclusion of the twenty-second round, he, however, gave-in, and Smith was declared victor. After this battle, two boys, neither exceeding fourteen years of age, entered the ring and stripped, to shew the spectators the great progress they had made in the science of Pugilism ; and their skill astonished the amateurs : both were considered Mendozai,in miniaturz. After about a dozen rounds, the juvenile Pugilists were separated, and a collec tion made for them. During the battle, the metropolis, one would imagine, must have been tree fiorn the depreda tions of the pick-pockets. The whole fraternity seemed to be collected on Wimbledon Common; scarce a spectator, who had been led there by cu riosity, escaped being plundered. As Wimbledon Common is now become the re gular place of meeting on these occasions, we hose the neighbouring Magistrates will take the firq opportunity to exert their authority in the most effectual manner, and by a rigorous pressecution of the next disturbers of the peace, put a final stop to a practice which has been so long shamefully exer cisedwith impunity.

We have often wished to make some animadver sicns upon the superiority which France areas over every other nation in Europe. We do not remem ber that the French, before the Revolution, were pry sumptuous enough to assert that they had made greater progress in the arts and sciences, than the English • or that their country had produced great erb men than N E KTON or Bacon—than Mli., oti cr Locee. They were then content to divide the priee with us. The superiority, therefore, which they now affeß, must have been obtained during the Revolution—During the Revolution I If we were called upon to select a period in which the human mind in France had not only made nu progress, but had taken a retrugade step, we should certainly seled the period of the French Revolution. The press, indeed, has groaned with the number of pule lications, 15ut are they not all gone long since "to the family vault of all the Capulets ?" In twenty years, who will remember the names and authors of one of them? Has any great work been produced upon the Law of Nations ? Has tine philosophy made a single step in the last twelve years ? Has one historical work, worthy of notice, been published ? What progress has been made in classical literature? Has one poet of any eminence darted a ray through the gloom of this long night ? DILILI.E belongs to the old Court. In chemistry, in astronomy, the French have made a rapid progress ; bat it would be unjust to consider that progress as the consequence of the Revolution. FOURCROY and LALANDL were known and patronised, and honoured long before that pe riod. if we were to present a catalogue of the works that have been generated by the Revolution, what a long train of black and venomous produllions would disgust us ! Fortunate indeed is it, that the igno raticeof the authors was an antidote to the poison of their doilrines ; that learning and genius did net make the potion palatable • that the mischief' was evanescent, and that all these produ'lions will be concealed for ever, under the thickest veil .of ob livion! If France found her claim to superiority upon the military fame she has acquired, we must acknow ledge, that of that species of fame the Revolution has brought her large accessions. Driven from the shrine of Liberty, she found a refitge in the temple of military glory ; but will her military fame justify this claim to superiority ? Will History ratify that claim ? Has she placed the Huns, and the Goths, and the Vandals above the Roman name, because their military force triumphed at last over the =- tient seat of liberty and of learning ? Do we admire the military atchievernents of an ALEXANDER, so much as we condemn the murder of a Cevrcs, the General that had fought under him ? Who dwells now, but with horror, upon the exploits of a 'I'A SILIII.ANE, a CHARLES the Xllth, or a Ziercis Kea v ? The impartial pen of history has long since torn the laurels from their brows, and stamped them as the scourges of the human race. Their ambition was all personal ; because in the pursuit of military glory they considered nothing sacred ; neither the faith of treaties nor the independence of nations, nor the rights of people. The world was their viEtim, and man was their slave. But if France have acquired great military fame, have we no naval glory to counterbalance it ? Are the vi&ories of the Ist of June off Cape St. Vin cent—of Camperdc'wn, and of' the Nile, less bril liant than those of the French in Italy and in Ger many ? Has France one naval atchievement to set off against them ? And have we acquired no military mown ? Was not the CoxseL himself checked and defeated at Acre by our British O:CUR DE LEON, Sir SIDNEY SMITH, and a handful of men ? Was not his army—were not 'his veteran troops, that had beaten Austrians and 'lurks, and Russians and Italians—were not they afterwards conquered and driven from Egypt by British sol diers ? On what other ground then does this boast ed superiority rest ? Have any useful discoveries, any inventions for the benefit of the human race, during the Revolu tion, palliated or diminished the enormous guilt of that event ? We "recolleet two—the Telegraph, cer tainly an ingenious invention, useful in times of war, but which can never eminently contribute to the benefit or happiness of mankind ; the other invention is that of the Guillotine. Of both these discoveries it may be said, that they tend to ac • celerate the work of human destrution. They be long certainly to the Revolution. We might add • two other discoveries, the undoubted legitimate offsprings of the Revolution—the Noyade: and the Fusillades—the Loire drownings and the Lyons shootings. It is not a little to the honour of our own nation that we are able to meet these inventions with two of a very different description—with two that will cast a bright lustre on the British name to the latest ages—with two that will make the British nation blessed in whatever quarter of the globe, and under whatever form prayer and praise are address ed to die Divine Being—with two that are, and are alone, for the preservation of mankind.—Need we name them ? need we mention the discovery of the Vaccine and of the Life-boat ! We might pursue die subjcti further ; but we purposely conclude our observations here. In addition to the gentlemen who have lately ex hibited their claims to the title and estates of the sate Marquis of ANNANDALE, in Scotland, we have to mention another, viz. Lieutenant DAVID JOHN szoN, of the Royal Artillery, brother to the late General WM. JoaNsroN, of Woolwich. In the Court of Common Pleas, on Friday, a cause came on, entitled 110 L DEN SP. SA Nl:m—A rule having been obtained, on a former day, to shew cause why the defendant, CHARLOTTE FRANCES SANDON, formerly the Hon. Mrs. TWISLE rON • should not be discharged from the custody of the. Warden of the Fleet - Prison, on an affidavit of her being a married woman, Mr. Serjeant QNsLow read an affidavit on the part of the plaintiff, stating, that the defendant bad been in the habit of coming in a dashing carriage, under the name of the Honouralle Mrs. SANDON, stating she was a Peer's daughter, and a person of high rank and fashion, by which artifice she obtained wearing apparel, and other articles, to the amount of 771. which it appeared she pledged, for the purpose of supporting her husband, Mr. SANDON, who is con fined for debt in the Fleet prison, under the name of Mr. Fr zz-Hoorr. The learned Serjeant com mented ou the conduEl of the defendant, and hinted, that this transaEtion might have formed grounds for a criminal prosecution. Rule made absolute. , %
