JENKINSON.' 'At two O'ClciCk the general muster took place at the:reipec. rive Head-quarters, from whence the two, Corps Marched to the Park, where they arrived about three - o'clock. The Brigtde immediately formed cliise Columns - (the St.. James's being=' on the right) to receive Lord BANBURY. His Lordship, and. Colonel JENKiNsort arrived on .the ground ahou - t tour o'clock. The Battalion then went through she Jegular field manoeuvres, after which they pradiSed firing by -files, files, and in companies. They then formed line and marched in echelon. The whole Brigade afterwards fired :wo vollies in a very capital style, and eackßegiment charged with the bayonet successively, the St: James's taking the lead. The inspeetion concluded about eight o'clock. Previous to their being dismissed, Lord BA Di- DU RY complimented both Regiments in very flatter ing terms. His Lordship'said, that he had no doubt .from their appearance that day, if they were called into actual service immediately, their exertions in the field wou!d be of material benefit to their Coun.; try ; and he had the satisfaCtion to inform them, that had found both Corps in so high a state of dis cipline, as to exceed his most sanguine expeetations. When his Lordship had retired,' the St. James's Went through several other evolutions, under the command of Lord AMHa RST. The St. John's atid St.'Margaret's left the gr ound about seven o'clock. Nu less than eighteen rounds of . powder were fired. On the return of the St. James's to their parade in Dufour's Place, Lord AMREitiT'addressed them on the subjeft of Lord BANatip.vs approbation of their appearance and conduct. His Lordship ad. verted to tl:e present Critical situation of the Coun. try, a situation which, his Lordship said, was such, that they might every bout expeft to receive orders to be called into the field of aetion, and under those circumstances he had a proposition to make, parti. cularty to those Gentlemen "who had subscribed half a guinea to the fund—that they should be at liberty td 'withdraw the money, a proportion of which he recommend them to apply to purchasing knapsacks, without which they would he very aukwardly situated in case they, were called out. — His Lordship added, that Mr. FRAZE,R ) Army Ac. coutretuent.maker, in Great Pulteney.street, had agreed to supply the Corps with knapsacks at 6s. each man, a charge which he conceived would not be deemed exorbitant. The recommendation of the Noble polonel was received with unanimous approbation. Preiinus to their being dismissed, his Lordship, informed them, that an early day would be appointed for their being again celled out. The Borough Union Coriis, viz. the St. Saviour, Sr. Olive, anti Sf. John, were yesterday mtisiered in Major PUTT'S Vinegar-yard, and chewed they had not been idle at their drills.

At a late hour of the afternoon; the ad'Brigade of the 'Loyal London Volunteers paraded at their respeftiire quarters, and 'marched 'from thence to Kennington Common, where, after having fell in, - they were inspetted and 'reviewed by Major-Gene tai LAYARD, attended by his.Aid.cle.Camp, Capt.

BIOT, Member of the National Institute, intended laSt Wednesday, in company with a friend; to ascendironi the ObserVatetyin the air,: and to make their meteorological and physical experiments.— Government lent him,. upon this occasion; its largest Balloon, the saOse that had been in 'Egypt. • But no sooner was the Balloon filled, than a suddeii gust of wind, carried it away, and it h as hitherto, tint been heard of or found. According._to calcolation ; if it meets with no accident, it may arrive at Or ap. proach some of the planet's nearest to our globe; and as all our best Mathematical, astronomical, phy. • sisal, and meteorological instruments were em barked, with several bottles of wine, liqueurs, &C. should it,arri ve any wherein universal space where the inhabitants have nut reached the same state of civilization as upon oar planet, it may produce in. formation, which 'chance has so often produced in our arts and sciences. It is well known, that it is to chance alone we are indebted for our greatest dis coieries. Citizen MeRCIEL- pretends, that it would be a generens at of our Government, was it to send once_ a month, a balloon perdu, into the air, contain. log our fruits, instruments. of agriculture, copies of our best drawings, and models of our best statues, even some of our - domestic animals, as goats, sheep, cats, dogs, &c: which may, s,nnetimes,, by some unforeseen accident, be carried to another planet, and, perhapi, finally bring about as easy a com, municatinn with the people there, as with those of Asia,- Africa, and America. We are, says our philosopher, notwithstanding the assurances of Naw. • T.vN t LA LANDE, and other astronomers, entirely unacquainted with the heavens, with its efre.fts, and with the planetary system ; but a day will soon come, when another Co LUM BUS will present himself, anti cause present and past ages to blush .for their ignorance and credulity. M. MERCira hints tole. rably clear; that, was he forty years younger, he would be this new Columbus.--( Journal de Paris.) On the, 23t1 • ult. those Frenchmen who ackonw. hedged the God of Israel, assembled here in their great Synagogue, and celebrated again the elevation 01 NAPOLEON BONAPARTE to the Imperial Dignity. Many Senators, Counsellors.of State, Tribunes, and . Generals, were present. The young Israelite, Jonas Meyer, had comtuned for this occasion an Ode in Hebrew and in French, and, at the end of every strophe, the audience exclaimed; "Vive Empereur I Five l' Erupt 'twice Josephine!" and Vive la Fer mille !" The 23d was chosen for the day • of this festivity, as it corresponded with the Isth of the month d'Ab,• which was formerly for the Israelites in Palestine.one of their gre'atest holidays. The Ode of the young Meyer has been printed at the exnence of the Emperor, in the imperial Print. ing.isffice, upon imperial paper. The Privateer_ Minerva, from. Bourdeaux, has carried in there a very rich Prize, called the lanle, from Jamaiea. The consequence of this Prize has caused at Bourdeaux a very lively sensation,— Its cargo is valued at' one million eight hundred thousand On the 3d, in the evening, the battery at Calais fired on two ships rh jr attempted to enter the har bour. "The miitake •as, however, soon discovered; and the ship, one Swede, and the other a Dane,received Pilots on board, and anchored safely in the Road.
