„" Yesterday, at.a few minutes before five o'clock
inxhe afternoon, Mr. Blanchard ascended in his new
balloon, accompanied by the Marquis de Breuilpopt,
captain of the French dragoons (who went from Lon
don with Mr. Blanchard to Holland) and Mr. d'Ho
xindhien, captain in the legion of the Comte de
Mailletyis ; the machine irofe with great majesty,
and the wind being N. W. and nearly calm, afforded
the fpe&ators a beautiful fight for a long time.
“ Mr. Blanchard's new companions behaved with
great intrepidity, and waved their flags in salutation
to the c populace. It wks their indention, provided
the wind would allow a voyage of 80 or tod leagues,
to keep flying in the air during the night, if the date
of the atmosphere wo,uld permit. .... , .;,
" The Stadtholder and his whole court were pre
sent, as well as the French Ambassador and bur new
Dutch-French. General Le Comte de Maillebois, aad
a xaft number of The nobility, who testified their ap
probation at the inflation of the ^roftat, which, al
though so very large,' Was completely, filled in less,
than "two hours.
"As ,this ,WAS the. firft fpe&acle in ^inflation in
this, country, it drew an immenSe concourse of people,
indeed more than ever was colleded 'together at any
particular time in the memory of the oldest 'man ;
and the publick curiosity was the more excited ' by
rhe fame of little Blanchard, who, by his undaunted,
courage in crossing the ocean, has gained the title of
Prince of Aeroftatic Adventurers; he received uni
versal applause from all ranks' of people, both the
learned and the ignorant, all joined with won
der and admir&ti'on at this new and brilliant expe
rhnent.” ^ so . a .;,..' ff

lers in Philadelphia; and by the printer hereof.
The utility of the prqppfed publication of a Nauti
cal and Agronomical Ephemeris, is so well known in
Europe, that computors are annually paid by the pub
lick, on whose fidelity, care *hd'abilities,, the Astro
nomer and navigator may fafely depend ; while ob,
fervatories are established almost in every country in
Europe to furnifh the necessary materials of calculate
on. A fimilhr publication in America must, of con-,
fluence, be of singular advantage to promote the
navigation of the United States, if executed with care
and-ability. From our acquaintance with the Skill of
the gentleman who Dropofes-to undertake the bufiuefs,
we have no'doubt, "but that it will be executed with
the greatest attention and fidelity, and that he deferfes
the encouragement of the friends of America.
