their fam;lies from the shore, in consequence of the
alarm lately excited. A Turkish ship of the line
has been destroyed by fire, after an attack by a

the Greeks lost many ships. They continue, as

Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at
Constantinople, dated 3th June:—" The Turkish
fleet having proceeded as far as Mytciese, has been
driven by the Greek squadron n•ithin the castles of
the Dardanelles, where it is waiting rcinforceinents,
now preparing with great activity. The Greeks
have destroyed one man of war, and according to
report, have taken a frigate."

We have received, by the Leeward Island mail,
New York papers from the 20th to the 24th ult.
and Kingston Journals to the 4th of June, contain-
ing intelligence of much importance. The revolu-

in addition to the iitll of the City of Caraccas, it is
'again asserted that they have captured Ulna. A re-
volution has taken place in Mexico against the Spa-
nish authorities, where a Colonel and a Bishop were
tlenounced by Capodaca, the Viceroy. About
300,000 milled dollars, and two millions 0: other
property, fell into the hands of the patriots at Santa
Fe. Accounts of the capture of Lima, by Lord
Cochrane and General San Martin, had been re-
ceived at Panama by the arrival of a small schooner
from Poi to Bello at Kingston, in Jamaica. The tall

South America in favour of the Patriots.

Letters from Zante, tinted the .24th of June,

The balloon with which I tocentled was 31 fret in diameter, as
retie the sire ds possible of the one with which Lunartli first
made an a-cen-ion in En •,..nd. It was inflaied with about 1.'200
isect of carbonated llydrogen gin. supplied from the main
pipes of the original charter,.l G. ,s Conipsily. and I am much
inotbied to the gentlemen of the Committee fur their kind assist-
ance du. in g tile operation of Wittig. I had no doubt of being
üb'c to asemil wi.ll the gas. haying. since the pet ha: when 1 first

within an Ilona my ascension. p. Non: of great e:epetience iu
nemstation exptes.ed their opinion that 1 should not be able to
ascend.
About five minute; before one o'clock the mpcs were divided.
and having taken my scat in the car. die italloan rose in a most
majestic irt.tnacr. nearly perpeneicularly. The almost ilcafrting
shouts of the popottee. and the mar of cannon that totk place
when I had a -centled a consitlen.ble dist ince from the earth
agitated the balloon. I felt the tof it most sensibly. The
mom: nt the di.cliatge cannon took place. I knew it was the

ino.t gtacions S..vereig.)' and 1 drew the cod: of a bottle of
brandy. and hosing ponted out a full glass. I drank " II valth,
long life. and a groi:ukts reign to his Majc3ty." The effect au the
air uron the Meanly is worthy of notice: when I thew the cork.
repott took pl..ce. which I attributed to the rarilieation of the
ail similar to that produced by drawing a cork out of a bottle of
sod; water. When tile balloon travelled nt its greatest rapidity, I
felt not the least motion ;it a; tpeart.tl as it the ear in winch I sat
was strtionsry, and th..t the earth was rtctding from me. The
balloon totk a no .11 cast direction at first, end on my looking
down upon the vast assemblage of persons in We uninster, the
delight I tilt is oat of my r titter to describe. The view presented
ore entire being mass 44 noire than a million of human beings.
tt—llasing ascended as high an I could without throwing ott.
lx.ibist, I deterntin.d. as the weather was zo fine. to keep in sight
t.s long as rossible. I threw out two bag; of sand of ten pounds
weight each. and immediately the balloon lose with astonishing
rapidity almost perpendicularly, according to my wish. Wtien
the balloon arrived at its num): altitude, which, m my opinion.
(I could not be certain, in constquenee of the oscilla,ton of the
quit 1; dyer in the bat °meter) was about 11,000 feet front the cart it,
I found that I had cased acne rent of air, conveying me directly
east ward, towards the Sore. The cold was exit cine. I put on
a cloak. wide h I hark up with me. and on looking at my glass 1
found it was below 30. two dewees below the fleezing point. I
was fearful of being carries' to sea, and immediately opened the
valve; the gas is tad in considerable quantities. anti 1 found, by
the increase of the size of objects below me to my op.ies.t bat I was
descending toy rapidly. The In ge.,t fklds. width a few minutes
beim arpearcel to be not mote than six inches square, increased
in size pettily ; and I very soon saw the sea, and a number of
vessels most disi:nctly. The balloon Kati a rotatory motion, and
turned about four times in a minutes _ . _

Stilt i,:aing di«t I should fall into the sea, I opined the video
to its uttna t extremity; and kvingtlefecniled so as to be able to
recognize small objects di-tinctly on the earth, with great delight
1 hued that 111,. to teen had entered another current of air.
vthich was conveying tue from the sea; I was LITII travelling
north we 4. I sat down and ate some sandwiches with a goon
Lipp( the. nue. saw the clouds rolling beneath me. soma Ludy on
the wound. Xicut 20 minutes Wine two &deck l descended
in a iield belonghT to a flamer named Lanikins, which is situate
about four miles I:eyond Banter. in the put of South Minis.
I wit= not aware that I hail descci,eid so rapidly; before I had
time to thaw nirell up to the hoop, the car snack the eat ill with
great force, and I was thrown ma of it on my back; I wits nearly
tunnril from the tilials of a blow which I received.

I mill held tie hoop of the 10lot n ; and the gt.npliog
which I hail thrown out when about a qtrarter of a mile horn the
rush. rot taking gnu bold, I Iva-, dragged tin my bad: along the
"round a consaleroble distance. The balloon was eventually
second, with the assistance of named Waugh, and
conveyed to a piece of safety in his Park, and I was anemia&
tons' laispitobly entetudned at his mansion: to hint my gratitude
is due, end. bta for his kind exertions, I have no doubt the bal-
loon would have suffered considerable injury from the great crowd
of persons that assembled on my decent. I believe, from the
be,t caleuhoton I ear. make, that I travelltd altogether, in various
ditections, upwards of filly miles.
