Last Wednesday, Count Zambucari (whose itr fortunate voyage last year, from Bologna, over the Adriatic Bea to Poke. in Istria, is still tied) in every saes memory) ascended again at Bologna, in view of many thousands of spectators, who testi fied their approbation by loud shouts while he ascended and descended at Oleasase. At the end of fonr hours, while be was over the village Boa, some Oasts with spirits of wine took fire, and ha immediately descended towards the earth. His companion, M. Andreoli, as soon as they came sear enough to the ground, leaped out of the car, and the Count was preparing to do the same ; but before he could take his leap, the balloon, much lighter by M. Andieoll's leaving it, suddenly re . ascended with great rapidity, bearing with it the unfortunate Count, and i he was generally supposed to have perished. According, however, to some accounts, he fell into the River at Rimini, from which he was taken nearly dead. PROM THE HASIBURGH MAIL. L ZONORN, AUGUST t 4. The surprise has now ceased, which was caused here by the embargo laid on all Russian, Swedi , h, and Prussian ships, by our Governor, at the de mand of the French General. The court of Florence has heard of this measure wit% astonishment and disapprobation. The day before yesterday orders arrived here immediately to release the ships of these three nations, detained shim the 19th. The French soldiers on board wtte carried on shore ; and our merchants have s:•nt couriers toNaples and other sea ports in Italy, with this news Ttto following was the cause of this measure:— A Frenchman of the name of Arranger, who resides at Florence, wrote to one of his countrymen here in a publk cap.scity, that several couriers h:td oa the leth passed through Florence, who had repr.rtrd the news cf Fran7e haring declated war ag.tin:t Russia, Sweden, and Prussia. The person here in- formed the French General of it, and in consequence the above meacure was taken. As soon as the Court or Florence heard of it. it inquired into the particu lars, and &ranger was arrested. coNst ozrtrlete, •vc 9.

The liamburgh Mail, due on Sunday, arrived yesterday, with letters and papets to the 12th hest. An article from • Leghorn gives a curious account of the embargo laid upon the shipping in that harlsatir.—lt appears that a Frenchman at Flo rence wrote a letter to his friend at Leghorn, stating, that France had declared war against Russia, Prussia, and Sweden. This was com municated to the French General, commanding in that city, and he, with more zeal than sense or discretion, immediately ordered an embargo to be laid upon the ships of those three nations. A rupture with Sweden and Russia was not an im probable event; and, tl!erefor-, so far as they were concerned, the French General might plead some rrzuse for giving credit to the report; but he most have been a poor politician, indeed, who was so v ell dispcsed so b. leave that hostilities had broken n•it betn•een France and Prussia. this mistake being discovered, we are told the embargo was taken off at the end I t three days. We must acknowledge that we are not satisfied with this ac enunt of the transatgiun. Had the private later been the only ground of the meaiiire, if there be one man of sense is all Legho.n, the report could r not have gained credit for 24 hours.

Recent accounts from Spa rcpare :be mini for a revolution in that country. A letter from lihboat receive.', a few Jays ago, states that the people were in open revolt agai Ist the authority of Government. Subsequent advice: represent Cut revolt to have assumed a more menacing and dangerous aspett—trnope had been ordered to march ag einst the insurgents from Ferrol; bet they had can didly stated, that neither the forage nor the provisions in that distrift were ad?qure to the support of an army ; and that faey must conse quently either postpone their march till they receive the necessary supplies, or decline such a service altogether. Nor is the spirit of insurrctgicm the sole enemy which the Government have to combat ; scarcity of corn anti the plague swell the difficulties to which they are exposed, and give to insurreEtion more widespread influences:ld more powerful arms. —'the scarcity of corn is rumoured to have arisen to such a bight, that the Spanish Government is under the greatest fears and alarms.—Orders have been issued to all Foreign M:rchan:s or Agents, connected with the mercantile interests of Spain, *to exert themselves for an immediate supply. His Royal Highness Mossi via. brother to the King of Fe A pica, arrived on Monday afternoon at Harwich. where an extra packet, and a cutter as its escort, were wz:ting, for him ; but the wind being contrary, His Royal I iighness did not go on board. A letter was received yesterday morning from a &Ile:rum in Lis suite, mentioaiag that they were . ~~ all to sail the first fait wind. A letter for him, from Lours XVIII. was raceived by the Hamburgh Mail of yesterday,' and forwarded to Harwich last night, under suppcuition that His Royal Highness was yet there. It is now believed that the two Royal Bro thers will meet at Gottenhurgh. After the inter view, Louis XVIII will go to Calmer, and MON strut will return to England. The King of FRANCE was received with all the honours due to his rank, in every part of the Russian Empire that he visited. A report was circulated yesterday of the arrival of as Express at the Admiralty,with intelligence that 713 sail of gun-boats and 47 tuggers had come out of Boulogne, and that the embarkation of troops was pushed forward with great energy and expedition. It was natural to suppose that the fine weather would induce the nin,quito fleet to repeat its usual safe manteuvre undo the proteaion of the batteries upon shore ; but we have reason to believe that the apprehensions of Government are no encreasing with regard to the subjel of immediate invasion. A letter from a merchant at Nantes, to a respefl able house in the city, says, "All our trade is en tirely at a stand—our only speculations are in pri vateering. Within fifteen months, forty-three pri vateers have been fitted out here by subscription ; of these, twenty-six have been captured by Lugli!li cruisers, five have been cast away, seven have been unsuccessful, and five have made eight prises ; of which three only have arrived rafts in French petits; we, of course, have been lose s in this business ; as, besides our vessels, we have been deprived of our hest sailors, now prisoners in England. Our port is almost deserted even by neutrals, on account of the numerous vexations they are exposed to, by the rapacity, treachery, and insolence of our Police and Custom-house Officers. Four Americans have been here for six months ; but, after taking in cargoes for Martinico and Guadaloupe, last July, and being ready to sail, they were stopped by the order of our Police-Commissary, who pretended, that some of the sailors were British subjeas. After some Louis d'ors had convinced him of his mistake, and pilots were ready on board, to descend the Loire, the Custom-House Officers seized the vessels, upon a charge that they had Engli.h goods on board. 1 his, it is true, was the case—but the goods had been bought originally at a public sale, from the English prizes. Two of the American Captains are gone to Paris to complain, and the other two are unload ing, intending to sail in ballast, to avoid all farther plunder and chicanery. Last June, a Danish and two Swedish vessels, in the sante manner, after ex periencing the same diffiztll!ies and oppression, Navin., agreed to carry to fil.artinico set eral passen gers of 'both sexes, the day they sailed, they were ssopped, half a lergue from our city, by our wick Police and Custom-house Officers, who declared the passes of the passengers deficient in some of our numerous formalities, detained the passengers, until the orders of the Grand Judge arrived with per mission for them to depart, and for which they are still waiting, after having expended their money and provisions, and lost their passage, their tes,els having sailed for Spain." Yesterday a Ct , urt of Dire tors was held at the East India House, when several tenders were opened of ships nt 1000 tons burthen, now in India. also of those which have performed their coatraftzel num ber of voyages in the Company's service; they were referred to the Committee of Shipping.

The examination of the Comet East-India par quet took place on Wednesday, and the papers were sent forward to the Admiralty Conn. It in volves a great question to the commercial interests of this country, whether a vessel is to be considered a re-capture captured by the enemy, carried into a neutral port, but her papers, &e. examined in an enemy's port, and there condemned as a prize, then sold in the same neutral port she was carried into originally on her capture by the enemy, and sailing f.w a British p trt, re-captured by Rear Admiral Cocitaame, and sent in here. The question arises whether, under the existing circum.tances, she is or is not to be considered a recapture, and a salvage 'f one-eighth ought or ought not to be paid by her original owners, on obtaining possession of her, to those who re.eaptused her ?
