SIR, Ir is an unfortunate fad for the Community, especially the liver orders , of it, that notwith standing the termination of the War, and the re moval of every other solid reason for it, the high price of Butcher's ,Meat, Bacon, Cheese, &c. con tinues. This seems to be in a great measure owing to a system among the Farmers and Graziers, adopted by general consent, which is, that unless they can obtain their own price for their conlmodity, not to sell it; to this I have lately been a frequent wit_ 'tress, and the fact is, generally speaking, incontest able; and some Graziers make no scruple of declar ing it. At the present enormous prices, it may be asserted without risk of contradi6tion, that the poorer orders are entirely excluded from Butcher's Meat, and many of the middling class nearly so. It seems extraordinary to me, that no mode has been hit upon to reduce this necessary , article to a more reasonable rate, and that no methods have been adopted, as during the very high price of Grain, which being now at a reasonable rate, and a plenti ful crop of potatoes, would very essentially assist in diminishing the price of Meat. If all Masters of :Families would determine upon increasing the quantity of puddings, pies, &c. at present consumed in their houses, and diminishing that of Meat, which in my opinion might be done without hard nhip, in the proportion of one-third ; the con sumption being lessened, the demand, and conse quently the price would be lessened also, as fat Cattle cannot be withheld like Grain, but are kept at a considerable expence, which after a certain pe riod begins to eat up the Grazier's profits. The danger of Grain increasing in price from this mode is not great, as the Ports of all the Woad are now open to us. It is high time the public should be nefit by a plenty almost unexampled, and partake with the Farmer and Grazier of those 'blessings which they have for several years enjoyed the al most exclusive advantage of, and with a greediness which seems - to be insatiable, fattened upon the public distress, and are now exerting every effort to do so still ; which sufficiently appears by the re ports from most of the Country Fairs, where, though high prices have been offered, the Sheep and Cattle have been driven away unsold. With respel to the London market, the price must always be high in it while Salesmen are tolerated, who have now their correspondents in every part of the country :- the quantity coming to market, is by this means in a great measure regulated, and care of course taken that it shall not be such as to lower the price. Should you think any benefit likely to result from the publication of this, be good enough to publish it, with the best wishes for its success, of Sept. 14 , z goz. AN ENEIrly TO STARVATION. ARRIVED.

ARRIVED from a Cruize to the Westward, His Majesty's Gun-brig Vixev, and remains. The Honourable East India Company's ship the Dover Castle, Capt. PETER SAMPSON, whose ar. rival 'at Canton we have already announced, sailed from Bengal on the loth of December, having on board Colonel HAM ILTON, COnmander in Chief of the Troops, four Officers, and 350 Sepoys. His Ma. jesty's ship Romney, commatid'ed ; )?y, captain Si r. HOME POPHAM, with the'Cciritany'S ship the Asia, and Admiral Rainier Country ship, ' left Sangur Roads at the same time.

The Romney parted for the Red Sea—on the 6th of January arrived at Malacca ; arrived at Amboyna the 4th of February ; and rived off Lintin Island, China, the z9th of March. The Troops were designed for the protedion and defence of the Portuguese Settlement at MacaO, a town of China, in the province o f Canton, seated in an Island at the mouth of the river Tae. The Por tuguese have been in possession of the harbour iso years, but have only a Fort and a small Garrison. A Chinese Manderin resides there to take care o f the town and the neighbouri ng country. It is now generally 'understood that the new WEST INDIA DocKs,must be cleared of water before any more ships can be admitted into them. The . water has gained so fast on the foundation of the premises, that the steam engine can scarcely keep it clear. There is no apprehension of the ultimate successs of these grand Docks, which are a national ornament as well as convenience, but it is now evident they have been opened too soon. No more ships are to be suffered to Enter the Bason at present. In consequence of the water flowing in so fast, and, oozing through the foundation, very great pediments have arisen in digging , "the outward_ bound Docks. Every exertiOn ig'ttiHileing'fO get the ships now in the Bason cleared fast as possible. It. is said that the valuable presents .made to Ge. neral LithivEs at Lisbon, have been returned, by the express orders of the CHIEF CONSUL. The Gene.. rays conduit seems to have been equally rash and Ograteful. A Hatuburgh Paper states, that no correspond_ dente has ,taken piace between the Emperor of RUSSIn and the King of SWE,DEN on the 501) . 0 of the reeeption of the Count DE PANIN in the latter Country, as stated :.evetal Ftreign journals. THE HAMBURG/1 MAIL, RATISBON, SEPT. ro. was accepted by the accession of Mentz, and a Con elasum voted, by which it is in general approved, leaving it open, however, to such modifications and emendations as may be suggested by circum stances, or by the Deputation itself, and admitted by the Mediating Powers. FUSSEN,, SEPT. 9. AN Austrian Corps of a number of battalions, is assembling in the Tyrol, to take possession pro visionally of the Towns and Territory in Swabia, which it is expelled will be added to the indemni ties of the GRAND DUKE of TUSCANY. SWABIA, SEPT. tr. Wirtemberg has How likewise, after the example of Prussia, Austria, and Bavaria, taken possession provisionally of its Indemnities.

ON the morning of the sth, a cannonading from the side of Switzerland, was heard here and at Bregentz.. It is said the French Troops in the Bris gau have talen possession provisionally of the Ab bey of St. Blase, and the County of Bondorf, apper taining to it on the edge of the Back Forest, fur the Order of Malta. An application is intertled to be made to Parlia ment in the next Session, to remove Bethlem Hospital to another situation., andto make a square or build ings on the scite thereof. New streets are proposed to be made from seire of Bethlem Hospital to Throgin9rton,-stxeft and the Royal Exchange, and another .•new street: from Moorgate to Mansion.' house street. Application is also to be made for an Aft for ,taking down London Bridge, and for rebuilding the same on the present scite, or for building a new Bridge in some more convenient situation. It is moreover intended to establish a free Market in the City of London, for the sale of coals within the Wards of Billingsgate and Tower, and for pre venting frauds and impositions in - the vend of all coals brought into the Port of London. A private Letter from Paris mentions the follow ng, anecdote, which shews the splendour and pro fusion of the Court of the Thisilleries.: " A grand dinner was given a few days since,by the CitiEr Co - Nstu, to which one hundred persons were invited. Nothing could exceed the perfect arrangement of the Entertainment, nor its magnifi cence ; and the conversation was extremely gay and unreserved. Behind the chair of each guest was a servant, dressed in a most sumptuous livery. " After the bottle' had passed _very freely, about nine o'clock an invitation came from Madame Bo- - NAPARTE, expressing her wish to be favoured with the company of the Gentlemen in her apartments. The invitation was generally accepted, and on be ing introduced, they found there most of the Ladies of their own families. There was a little music,• but no cards. At twelve the supper was announced, and the company sat down to the numbe r of one hundred and,fitC4csOnW . ; and to mark the cont rast from the'di . nri'ee part l y, behind each chair was a ser vant out - O:f e . By the' Paris papers received yesterday, we are informed that the ship le Themis, of Rochelle, returning from Cayenne, foundered at sea on the 2d of July last, between the isle of Hores and th e Azores : the crew were save d by the Hebe, of Gas gow ; but the Captain, resolved not to survive this loss, threw himself overboard and was drowned. The Austrian Government has ordered two O. , cers to be chosen from the Venetian Naval Establish.. ment, to be employed in a voyage to Africa. THE FIRST CONSUL has sent his Adjutant, Ci tizen LAURI STON, to Munich, in consequence of the occupation of Passau by the Austrian Troops : he is commissioned to assure the ELECTOR, that he may depend upon the support of the FIRST CONSUL. Citizen LAURISTON arrived here the day before • yesterday. In the third Sitting. of the Deputation, which took place onithe. Bth 'inst. the Plan of Indemnities ~~~ 13.1LLOON AND PARACHUTE. THE announcement of GARNER IN'S ascent in his Balloon, and descent in a Parachute, added to the fineness of the day, excited the public expeCtation to a higher degree than any preceding Aeronautical Experiment. The ground chosen for the ascension was St. George's Parade, in North Audley-streer, Grosvenor..square, which was recommended by its being entirely inclosed by buildings, which prevent ed a promiscuous crowd without, from viewing the experiment in its commencement, for nothing. The Proprietors of the adjoini n g buildings-, however, made the mo s t o f the space Which they could allot ~ for the purpose ; every roof adjoining the Ground, and even every chimney being crowded with spec,-,, tators, whilst scaffoldings were ereded • where:' . ever it was possible to form one, which were like.: wise thronged with spectators, whose weight threat ened every moment to break down the feeble boards that supported them. The GroUnd did not begin to fill till past four o'clock :by five it was crowded. The Balloon was nearly. filled at four, but the inflation was con tinued till near half past five. "In the course of this time, GAILNER IN affixed twnor three notices to the netting of the Balloon, requesting those persons in whose grounds it might fall, to return it to its The Parachute and the Basket attached to ,t, remained in the mean time on the ground at a short dislance. _About five o'clock a small Balloon was inflated and sent up, to iedicate the state of the ind, which took nearly an Easterly direaion: The great Balloon being at •length • sufficiently inflated, the car was taken from it, and the ropes which held it down were cut. A great number of person's now held it down with some difficulty, whilst the Parachute, with the Basket attached to it, were affixed. This being done, GARNER t1.,1 got into the Basket, and the Balloon, with its appendages, slowly and majestically ascended a few minutes be fore six, whilst GAR NE RI N waved the British Flag Which lie held in his hand. The tout ensemble of the ascension-was pecUliarly beautiful and magni ficent. The -Weather was remarkably fine, .and not a cloud was to be seen, whilst the motion of the Balloon was scarcely' perceptible. " Having ascended to a considerable height; _taking nearly an easterly direction, GARNE R IN cut away* the Parachute about six o'clock. At this moment, many ladies in the ground, who had been watching the, progress of the. Balloon, screamed with terror,. imagining the adventurous Aeronaut to be involved in the greatest danger.. -When the Parachute was c c e t away, d : d to I n i Balloon iiens gave e height, a sudden it was turn a s n tid scarcelyas visible, taking a dire6tion more to the South, whilst the Parachute proceeded nearly East, with apparent ly. a kind of swaying irregular motion. The Pa rachute was distinaly visible, but the basket at. tached to it appeared like a speck, and was not-at all times discernible. Owner.' In a few moments after he had quitted the ,Bais oon, the Parachute expanded, and it seemed sta. :ionary, or at least its descent was gradual,; but in a short • time its agitation was so great that no person could, view Mr. GARNER IN'S situation without feeling for his -ate he wag swung' Nvith such velocity backward and for- Ward in the air, that every one trembled at his perilous situation, As he descended, the rapidity of the motion of the basket seemed to increase, , and when his situation could no longer be seen for the houses, some thousands from different quarters either ran or rode on horseback to the place where he appeared to have made his descent, to learn his destiny, when it was found that he had fallen in an inclosed field between the Small-Pox HOspital and Pancras. On coming to the earth, he experi enced some violent shocks from the velocity with which the basket came in contaCl with the ground. When Mr. GARNERIN first alighted, very few persons were near him, but in a few minutes there.were not less than a thou Sand. He appearA, very sick, and staggered greatly at getting out ot the Car, 'from the:effe6t of the-very rapid swaying he had experienced in his descent, which, be said, was at one time so violent as to deprive him of sen sation. A person on horseback; immediately alight ed, a,nd placed Mr, GA /t NE 11 IN On his horse. His tuation now again became alarming,. as the crowd from curiosity pressed so close upOn him, that he was in great danger of being throWn to the ground, when. several Gentlemen on horseback 'seeing his situa+ don,: formed thernseTves into a body of cavalry, to protea him from the mob. 'A procession then took place along. the New. Road, attended by an immense Crowd, which bore before them the hoop of the Para+ chute, to denote that NI:GARNERIN was on his way. A Gentleman also rode by his side, waving . the flag used by the Aeronaut in his ascent. Mr. GARNERIN was consulted to what part of the town he wished to be concluded to; and having men tioned Baker -street, the cavalcade proceeded in that, fl direction, and reached Baker-street without inter.,= ruption ; but - Mr. GARNER IN not finding his friends at home, took refuge at a house in Blandlotd-street) where he remained until the the mob dispersed. We did not hear of any accident happening; though the crowded scaffoldings adjoining seemed to threaten • some serious misfortune. Benches. • were commodiously arranged for the accommoda" tion of the SpeCtators`round the inclosed Area in . which were placed t h e B a ll o o n and Parac hute.-',. The apparatus for filling the . Balloon was placed in. , an adjoining shed, .from_ whence the tubes were ex tended to the Balloon. • This is the first experiment of the kind in Country, and. we sincerely hope it will be the,laff i lv , `, l , We mean not to d etrat from the s kill an d ~ rage displayed by M. GARNER IN upon this sion ; indeed it would be impossible if we Were;sc l . inclined ; but the man who could feel any pleaStuP in seeing the lif e o f hi s fellow-creature exposed t°, such imminent danger, without any adequate cause , must possess either the most unjustifiable curiositYl' or the most brutal apathy. Mr. COLMAN'S determination' of employing 001 Performers than those of the Winter Theatres, probably be, the means of bringing back some 0 1 ' favourites, who have long been banished from 1 1 'c London Stage; . '
