Mr.SAlntre has furnished us with the following
narhalve of his aerial voyage from Liverpool 'ascended
at twenty-five minutes to five o'clock, and in eight minute*
found it requisite to commence discharging gas. At this; ime
my elevation was about three.fottrifis of a Mile, end the view
was of the most pleasing kind; Liverpool, with its environs,
.and,tbe inde.nted coast extending to the Ormsheads, appeared
in rov view very distinctly. At ten Minutes to five I. heard a
gun fired, supposed it to be in the neighbourhood of lirowrilow.
..The balloon continued to ascend, although I was con..
atantly engaged in openitigthe valve. I shoUld here .remark, that
"I felt ii very strong breeze, WhiCh produced an'alteration Id my
course; making it 'due coat, tlioligh' at first my direction was from
the West by north. In conenUeuce of a number of mush clouds

to ti degrees, yet the air was, not by .any lucent:; to my feel-

were now induced to follow even. from I,llitiringtert.—Per.
caving a well-enclosed grass field, I farther hastened my

The following Letter, respecting the state of
Greece will he read with MU CEI interest :
" (lour u„ AUG. 2-14,1023.—1 flattered myself that I should
have received an answer by the packet which arrived yester-
day to the letter I had the honour to send you, dated May
13,' but :t -.wale disappointed,' and attributing this to some ac-
cidental cause, I shall not retreat from my promise to give
you information concerning the affairs of Greece, my native
" The campaign this year began in the early part of Mav,
under good auspices: A corps of 7000 Turks, WhichattemPted
to take possession of the province of Al, attii and Apropotamo,
in order to penetrate into .ACarnimia, was completely routed,
and 'Obliged to 'retreat, by the braVe inhabitants of these ooun-
tries, commanded. by. Captains Strinary, and Icataiscsky.—
The whole force, consisting of more, than 20,000 men, under
the coniniand 'a the Generalissitho IVlChemed Paella had'the
same fate. This corps began its march' at the beglnning:of
Jane from Zeiteuni, and penetrated as far as the territory of
Selene, with the intention of gaining the sea-shore and open-
ing a comitunieationowillt.the fleet, which had. then been two.
months at Patras in a state, of ' perfect inaction. The chiefs,
Ulysses and Niketta, have covered themselves with glory in the
Various combats which have taken 'place in their district, and
it now remain' to be seen' what the two other corps will 'do, one
of which Hotline, of about B,ooo' men, under the orders
of Joussouff Pacha ; the other. at Tricala, commanded by the,
Piidia of Sentari, consisting of about an equal number of men.
Both are intended to attempt the invasion' of Acarnania 'and
Etolia, the defence of which is confided to the. valiant General
Marco Ilezzaria.. We flatter curative. that our enemies are
also likcly'to be defeated here. ' The Greek Government, there

.and
tranquillity in the Interior, and in exciting the enthusiasm of
alftlie inhabitant's' to defend their menaced country, transfer=

of affairs. From this last resolution, the best results arc ex.:

from day to day, will put a finish, it is hoped, in a gloriouS
manner, even to this campaign, withal perhaps. may be decisive
of the fate of Greets:. The descent's ade by the, Ipsariota and
