Since the English. in pursuance of the Capitols-
tine of the 7th meant, have taken possession of the
Citadel and the Dock-yards. we have bad an oppor-
"unity to ascertain the stupendous strength of the
numerous works, erated by them around this Capie
tel. There remains no doubt, that they would
have taken it by assault, had the Capitulation not
been concluded. The number of chselling.:,ousep
and other buildings destroyed by the bombardments
amounts to 305, tor the reception of . die inhabitants
whose dwellings have been buena down. the churches
of Trinity and St. Andrea ase now preparing. The
famous manuissnoey of arms, at Frederick's-work,
has obtained a capitulation, according to which,
tell the property of tire-Crown riince. in that place,
is to be rewraps!, and to tennis under the protec-
tion of the King of England. The manufactory
continues to work as before, but all the arms they
le4nufgElure are to be delivered to the English.
While most of the Nlagistrates were absent, or shut
up in the town, Count Schutin, Mr. de Coninck,

GARNER/WS NUCTUR.viIL ASCENSION.

Garnerin, the eelebreei.: aer ,nassf. bas addressed
the following letter to thet Editors of ono of the
Faris Journals:—

Gentlenten—kiefore I undertake a second noctur-
nal aerial voyage, whtch will take place at Tivoli,
on Satt.rday, the I.els of beptcroto:r, I ought to
give some account of th:.t which I pet formed in the
night besween tl.e 4th and sth of A twist last.
My balloon was lighted by twenty lamps. Many
persons felt some alarm (loin the number of these
lights, and their proximity to the hal:ocn, in case a
Fdiminution •I the press-:re in the upper regions
should oblige ins to let out the ilyclingto gas by the
lower orifices. They feared It:St, in ;hi, eau, that
gas should find :ts way to the lights, tate fire, and
communicate the flame to the balloon. I had fore-
seen this inconvenience. In :he first place the bal-
loon, which was the same in which I asseaded at
Milan, was only two-thirds filled, that 1 might de-
fer the emission of the gas as long as passible; in
the next, the neatest lamps to the balloon were four-
teen feet distant from it; ar.d lastly, conduct( rs were
placed in such a manner as to convey the gas away
io a direction contrary to the lights.
Having made these arrange (wrists, I felt no hesi-
tation to to dcrtake a nocturnal voyage; I tscended
: ism 'lied , at e!even at night, under the Russian
flag, as a token of peace. Torre was not any dec:ded
current in the atmosphere, but only undulations,
which tossed me about, I believe a great part of the
night. To this it was owing, that I was first carried
towards Zt. Cloud, and afterwards brought back
over Vin:cnnes, in a d 4 netriCi!'.ly opposite direc-
tion. Flow favourable this circumstance would
have been to the speculations of those who pn te..d
to dire& halloons ? I was in the full force of my as-
cension when the fire-Works of Tivoli were let off;
the rockets scarcely seemed to rise from the earth ;
Pa•t , with its lamps, arpeirel a plain, studded
with :ominous spots. Forty mit rtes atter my de-
pantile I attained an elevation of 2:00 fathoms;
the thermometer fell three degrees to I.w a. My
balloon dilated considerably a. it patsed through a
cloud, in which the lights lost their brilliaacy, and
seemed ready to he extinguished. It W:li As urgent
to give a-s.: to the hyatogen gas, (Hated to such a
degree as to thr4 4ten to horst its- hall.ion, as it was

diffieultl and the emission of the gas broug'at me
to a milder region.
At tweiveo clock, I was only six hundred fathoms
from the earth. and heard the barking of dogs. A
qnarter of an hour afterwards, I lost sight of all
the lights on the earth, grew extremely cold, and
could no longer perceive tae stars, doubtless on a:-
count of th.. clouds.
At one in the morning, the cold still continuing.
I was carried to a higher elevation ; the hydrogen
gas again expanded. About two, I perceived the
stars, and saw several meteors dancing about my
balloon, but at such a distance, as not to give ma
any alarm.
At half after two, the day began to dawn with
me, and having again descended, I perceived the
earth, which I hail not before seen since my de-
parture.
At a quarter ti three, I heard country people
speaking, and remarking the islummatrou of my
balloon. Haying asked them, they informed Inc
that I was over the department of L'Aisne.
Ti.e sun gradually approaching, alfde.ed me, at
half-pan three, the magnificent spedtacte ci
rising above an ocean of clouds. .1 was m.h of
his rays aging on the bailotra, the hydrogen gas
again expanded ; the atmospheric air became inure
rat itizd, utile there was nothing to add to the quan-
tity of the counterbalancing weight. The cause-
quence
was a new ascension, during which I was
tossed about between Rheims and Chalons, and
carried at four o'clock to as skeet's-a ul assure than
WOO fathom's, there, under a magnificent sky and
a respleudent sun, I erliterienced a coki of Las de-
grees. The bar" dilated minis more curiadet-
ably than it had.* done. The temperature was
