DESCENF OF filE

. . . .
YESTERDAY forenoon, Co'lonel Gii.viLii re-
eeived an 'express from Colchester, with. the two
following letters : the first from Captain,SOwOiit
to the Colonel.hiniself, the second ,frorn M. GAR:.
NEAIN to his confidcutial friend in London :
DEAR GREVILLt, Colchester, June 2§.

" After a delightful voyage of three quarters of an hour,
we landed safe at Colchester. Our landing was extremely
difficult, on account of the high wind. You may suppoSe at
what a devil ea-rate we came at. Your% &c.

" R. C..SOWDEN."

EXTRACT OF A LEtTER FROM MONS. GARNER IN,
DATED COLCHESTER, 29TH JUNE, ONE O'CLOCK

IN THE MORNING.

" I take the earliest opportunity of informing you, that af-
ter a very pleasant journey, but the most dangerous descent
I ever'made, on account of the boisterous weather, and the
vicinity of the sea, we alighted at the distance of four miles
from this place, and sixty from Ranclagh. We were only
three-quarters of an hour on the way. To-night, I intend to
be in London with the balloon, which is all to pieces, as well
as the netting. We ourselves are' all over bruises."

At twelve o'clock' last night, neither M. GAR.
NE RIN or Capt. SOWDEN had returned, and they
were not expelled till this morning. Probably they
slept long and sound after so much fatigue and_anxiety.
The appearance of the Balloon we understand excited
the utmost astonishment among the country people,
and in Colchester. The town was in an uproar all
Monday night and yesterday forenoon, and the
two travellers much delighted with their.reception.
GARNERIN before be entered the car at Ranelagh,
exataed from Captain SOWDEN his word of honour,
that he would not .require to he landed till he
.(GARNE KIN) pleased. GARNERIN designed to go
as far as he could, and he was only stopped by his
approach to the sea.
The terms on which Captain SOWDEN purchased
his seat are curious. Colonel Git EVILLE contraded
that M. GARNERIN should go Up, and said he would
go up with him. GARNERIN consented ; but the
Colonel was persuaded ti • decline. Col. POLLEN
offered GARNERIN fifty guineas for the seat, but
GARNERIN said he could not lett it without'Colonel
GREVILLE'S consent, In the mean time, Captain
Sow DEN applied to Colonel GI EVIL I. B, paid him
tool. for the seat, engaged to go halves in the
profit or loss of the Ranelagh Fete (the loss is more
than [cool.) ; and one of the conditi6us was,, that
he should make his Will in favour of the Colonel,
which he adually did. Thus a seat for three quarters,
of an hour will cost Captain Sowntli about eight
hundr4l pounds !

American Papers to the 2d of June are received.
The Governor of Georgia issued a Proclamation
calling an extraordinary meeting of, the Legislature
of that State, to take _into consideration matters
of importance. They are supposed to relate to the

Captain ALLEN, who arrived at Wilmington on
the 28th ult. from Cape Francois, states that the day
before his departure Gen. TOUSSAINT arrived at the
Cape, and the morning on which he sailed there was
a general rejoicing on account of the Peace made
with that General,. who could hold out no lon.
,ger, his ammunition and provisions being entirely
expended, and the principal part of his troops hav-
ing deserted and Wined their arms against him.--
He says also, that there still remains in the Moun-
tains a considerable number of the Congo Negroes,
who arc determined not to come under the subjee-
don of the Whites.

At cue County Meeting held' at Hereford on Fri-
day last, the business of the day was opened by Mr.
CLIVE, the High Sheriff, who read the requisitions

hiniself as a Candidate, *hen Sir GEORGE CORN-

and Capt. of P—l--th. After exchanging
two shots the Seconds interfered; and accommodated
the matter. Mr: R. received a slight wound in the
right arm; and Captain S.. one in the neck; which
was at first supp'ated to be mortal, but he is now
