• V skylso,oool.—The next is, the amount of supplies actually takee to account by the Government shipped by the Contrac tors, Included in their item fbr Supplies, Charger and Orders of Mr. 4A, 354A01. ? This is especially important, and it is . a shameful deception to amalgamate all these together in one. sum. It is high time that the public should see this account' analyzed, and know what amount has been really accepted. It is. an undoubted fact, that the ship Charles was sent bank tothis. country,— and equally so that the ship Constantine (afterwards' called the Congress,) if accepted at all, was accepted on terms of anew arrangement. It is stated in the Baltimore Papers, that she was-found so bad as to be . 14 only asa guard-ship. It is the bounden duty of the Contractors to give, as it is of the Public to demand, a clear explanation, that they may by investigation come to a probable estimate of these mis called Bonds. The real facts are entirely unknown to the Public generally even now,—the more shame to those who have kepi up the delusion. This sum of 354,500/. charged to the 'Colombian GovernMent. as supplies, &c. &c., I hesitate not to say will be found not to substantiate a claim to one-half, I might safely say one-third, of it amount,. and 'tlitis the whole claim on the Colombian Government, taking the vort flattering view, will not exceed 400,0091. The sum here, (if it be radii, Prtheonting.) is stated to be, .balance of prin cipal about 172,0001.--ttn4 reserved of the principal for two further dividends, 120,000L —making a gross total of 690,0001., ray 761,0004 to be divided, when adjusted, on the two millions of Bonds. Let the public mark, and they will see, in the .end, if this is not a flattering statement. If it is otherwise,. let the Contractors prove it on oath.—Those who have flat tered thetnielves that either the timidity or the weals of the Colombian Government could induce them to vnive all ob jections to this (as they call It, " scandalous transaction,") have wilfully shut their eyes to reason : they would neither hear nor read any thing of the r tnith, whether put fbrward by you, Mr. Editor, or conveyed in Mr. REVENOA% cautions in his correspondence, or in the 'clear expose giyen in the Pamphlet') intituled " Letters to the Contractors," and "This Contractor unmasked." Perhaps all these , will be looked to now. They would hear nothing.. .the i ymust listen now.— The Government (after nine months' information and attention to the subject, subsequent to Saw.rakarnil's Proclamation,) say that they' are inflexibk; and the Bond-holders may depeptt that they will find them so; the sooner, therefore, they call fbr the 'accounts in detail, the sooner they will have some notion of Xheir true situation, and the world will at length, when the whole particulars are stated, see this transaction in its true 'colours. am, Sir, &c. &c. Sept. 4, 1823. VERITAS. P.S. It has heen said that already, even„last year, a great part, nay even the whole , of Zea's 10 per Ce4,debentures, amounting to 775,0001., had been admitted by the Government, and a large part passed the Board of Liquidation. Of this "Falsehood the following statement, from the Official Report of the Board to slat Dec. 1822, is sufficient proof.,.The following. is 4te whole amount passed the audit, and includes elaimapf 'parties here, Jamaica creditors, and also credifora from 'the United States : Dollars.

THE MAnkrti.Reaxxci.--,AcCou ' nts 'from Ma. Arid through, Bayonne bring a Copy of the fol. lowing Circular, adtriesseo by,the rebel Regency to all the. Amhalsadors and diplomatic .Agents, '4l the del3arttire of their President the Duke of INFANTA DO, and their Foreign Minister. It is as follows: " Excellent Sir—The Regency of .the kingdom, desiring that at the happy moment of the deliverance of the Klug our august Sovereign, there may be near his Majesty a person of high character to congratulate. him, and pay him homage in the name of his Royal - Highness, their Serene Highnesses have resolved that for this purpose the Duke of Infantado shall re pair to Andalusia, accompanied bir Saez, the Chief Mini:. ster. In consequence of this determination, their Excellencies have set out this morning a c c ording to the orders of theli Serene Highnesses, of which I have the honout to inform yoUr Ex cellency-The Palace, Aug. 19, 1823." An article dated Bayonne states—". That 1,200 Constitutional troops, coming from Estre 'madura, had pushed forward a reconnoitring party us far as Valmajado, five leagues from Madrid, on the 20th of August. They afterwards took the•road to Segovia. A strong French Co. lumn' has gone from Toledo in pursuit of them, but It seems not likely that it will be able to overtake them. The French cavalry which pit* at the Pardo bad returned to Madrid, and , that place was immediately occupied by the column of General ,Castel dos Rios; which makes it, pre sumed that there must necessarily be a secret convention between that General and the Mar shal 'Duke of •Reggio it was even reported that that General would very soon enter Madrid.", Yesterday Sir•HEltligliT TAYLOa held a Leiee as Secretary to the C O MMAND t :4-m-CgigF, at his Office, in the Horse Ouardi. In several of our preceding Papers we inserted the'advertisement of Mr. Hamit.ToN, a Gentle man who offers, in the most confident manner, 'to teach languages by, a new and efficacious system, in 48 lessona Our present Paper ccii).4 "4ains an advertisement; announcing Mr. Amu 'rox's intention to-give a public Lecture, demon. 'strative of the efficacy of his system, at the Crown and• Anchor, on Wednesday ,evening next. .Not withstanding the unhesitating tone in which Mr. H. advances his pretensiohs, and the mass of testi monials and other documeptary evidence hp which they are supported,,,we confess that we are rather sceptical on Oa subject. We purpose, however, to attend the 14ecture, ancl,to give a rigid examination- to the practical development of a system of tuition, which, if it really fulfil the promises of its projector, deServes to be encourag ed as-one of the most important improvements of the age. In th e mean time s it is but fair to admit that Mr. HAMILTON is uct backeto peisod by hig ns of the h recom-1 mendations, and introdions first distinction in this country. The story , in the French Papers o to thf General ZAftco nEL VALLE , having submitted e Re, sency of the 20th ult., at Grenada, is generally discredited. Independently of his known attach ment to the Constitution, ` I re2sthnders have the event improbable, letters dated the been received f rom his friends at Madrid, at Which time it might easily have. been known, 'Which are entirely silent on the subject. .- • , 1 .t. -l i. • . - i t- ' '''"l9, .: . 1.1 ' .

The warlike operations in the Pen insula were regarded in Cuba with the greatest solicitude and anxiety ; but the sentiment of a great majority of the people appearpd to be to adhere to the Constitution, even . should the tortes be put down. Tq that event there .was a great, probability that.. the island of Cuba would declare itself independent. This language was opekkly ,held at the let sitting of the Ayuu timendeuto, at *high the Governor-General Vives had taken great uMbraga,.and evinced much unea sittess. At this meeting the Governor was call ed • e • , •l • upon to answer explicitly whether he would sup port the ,constitution of .1812. His answer was ambiguous and evasive—” that he would be true to his oath."

A ve ry s ingular fact occurred- at Manchester , i•few days since. As Mr. Samuel Cheever was at work in the field, his attention was arrested at tke sight of a number oftlii ng hill fowls, -- w ith heeds erect and wings extended, standing in a circular manner. On going near to ascertain the cause; he: saw a • large black snake , of five feet , in length, within the circle, and his' aquaniaas 'head .elevated eight or nine: inches above the surface of the earth, while his posterior parts remained in a' spiral form., And so complete was the fag-• cination, that Mr. Cheever was under the necessity of gettibg a pole to disperse the fowls, in order to kill the snake, in which he happily succeeded.

GRAHAM ANIS HIS BALLOON. 'lnconsequence of the disappointment which the public sustained at White Conduit House by the Balloon not ascending as' expected, Mr. Gil.allAel and his friends have , lost no time in making' preparations for a second ascent. Dur ing the last few days the balloon has. been in the Pantheon. • -; where vario us exper lments•have been made ; and on Wednes , • day evening it was fill e d with common air, .for the porpose, of . ascertaining if any wo u ld esc a p e; i t however answering:their` expectations, Mr. Graham determined by the advice of his friends to make an ascent. YeSterday morning was accordingly; fixed on as the time, but fearing he should incur the public pleasure e'second time, should he fail, he determined upon as-, cending prirately, and in consequence gave no notice. As early as six o'clock yesterday necienieg the workmen were employed in layin g . on the gas i nto ti e "iriaciouVeimbereyeed of Mr. Snewin, in Berwidc-street, Soho, who kindly consented that' Mr. Grahain should make 114 ascent from thence. A tempo rary stage was erected in the middle of .the yard, a large high pole was then fixed at one end of the 'yard, and a rope thrown . across from. that tate large stack of chimneys. The netting having, been then placed over. the balloon, it was suspended 'from tfie before-mentioned rope. This occupied until -ten o'clock, when the workmen having brought the gas-pipes into the middle of the yard, the process of inflation' commenced. The gas at first came very sparingly, but afterwards with velo city. By half-past eleven the balloon was about one-third in tlated,'•When its immense size was quite observable. Mr. Gra ham appeared in excellent spirits, and was moat active in the operation. From that period up to two o'clock the gels way, most plehtifully supplied to the b a lloon. It was acknowledged that on the first occasion the fault lay with the Gas Com pany, and they were therefore determined no exertion should now he wanting on their.part. By this time the yard was filled with most respectable company, friends pf Mr. Grahaele ; nor was the exterior less-occupied. Bervelek-street presented a complete Mass of spectators, ae also did that par, of Oxford street; the tops of the houses and windows were crowded with people where only a slight view could be obtained ; and from the preparations going forward within, each felt convinced of Mr. Graham's intention to ascend, and sincerely wished' him success. At half-past two the car was brought forward; it was made of wicker, tastefully paintiel ; on one side was the hoary Neptune seated in his ear, drawn bleee , a-liorses, through the deep ; on the reverse was four nymphs dancing, while Pan played the merry tune on his snipes ; the whole wus surmount ed by a beautiful wreeth of flowers. The inside was lined with pink velvet and blue curtains. Things appearing in this state of forwardness, the pilot-balloon,was brought out and instantly rose into the air; it cot its way north-east, and was visible far a length of time; the • persons engaged, on the occasion then commenced attaching the car w the balloon, which occupied till a quarter past three ; the gets at this time had made the balloon perfectly buoyant, and it seemed as if anxious to recede into the tipper regions ; it was therefore disengaged from the teas apparatus and properly .secured, ; Mr. Graham then got into the car, and it was generally understood Mrs. Graham would accompany him in his aerial excursion, by her apparent desire to get into the car; however, Mr. Graham, from' some motive, declined her doing so ; but she did not rest satisfied. Mr. G. while in the car, ascertained that the strings which were: attached to it were too long ; they were again untied and made shorter; this ae i eitpied until near 4 o'clock ; the grappling irons were then i placed n the - cer, and the other necessary implements for the ascent. Curiosity was now at the highest, to see Mrs. °mina' ascend, but that was shortly put an end to, by a young gentleman . named Hare* getting into the car, anti it was intimated - that he was to Accompeny Mr. Graham.. Both now appeared in excellent and upon the appointed signal the balloon was lowed from her moorings, and Ascended with great magnificepce. , The yard I's surrounded with buildings, and it was much feared the balloon would strike the top or 'chimney of . one'of the houses. 'However that was not the (else 1$ and although it ascended with great Tepidity, accident watt evoided. The balloon shot along in an easterly direction with great splendour, both the aeronauts at the time waving their flags. They were observable at a great distance; and mint until their weee'actually out of sight were the eyes of the multitude off them. • Great praise is due to the persons connected with the Gas Works, by whose exertions the 'process of inflation was ren dered effec tive, and success insured. , THE DEsceori OF THE AERP,TAIITS.—Last night, about eight*clock, the ahnVe Gentleden; who ascended.yesterdey . in the balloon from Berwick-street, Soho, descended in a turnip field between Steoud and Rochester, in perfect safety. The packing up of the balloon occupied tome time, when. they in fit:lll4 started for London, and arrived about two o'clock this • mining. They both appeared in excellent health and•spirits, and Mr. Grahams has Intimated his intention, in conitequence of his success, to re-ascend. in , a Alert time. , T he balloon con lieenedeeltame;eueatui quantity of 2410,000 gallons of gas. -• Messits.
