WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1810.

The report of LCcIEN BOONAPARTE having ern-
barkedwitli his firnily, for America., is; we be.:
sieve; wrll founded. Whether 'be is sting across
the Atlantic it;.esape the tyra'nby, of his brother, or
to forty-qrd--his views in Amrrica, We do not know;
'but those who stut,pose that he is actuated by any
thit% kikepyi?zaple,,know very little of thecharaater
of the man. • • . .

Accounts have beeu received from. Heligoland,
which tend strongly to confirm the runrourt.whicti
live been in circulation of an .apploacTung rupture
between Russia and France. It h.'s been stated that
a Russian Minister-was on way to this country;
this we believe ngt to be true, but that a most im-
portant change is about to take place in the politics.
of Russii, we have no doubt. Ii is knpwn that three
great commercial houses in Petersburgh have re-
cently Still/pea payment ; but it is not, we believe,
generally known that the cause of I heir failure was
that the !Ala which 'icy drew upon Paris •were 're-
fused: payment, by the exiiress desire:of BUON'A-
PAiTA. The houses in qt es-tion were principally
concerned in the French trade, and one of them had
adVanced very large sums to cAULINCOURT, the
•
French Ambassador.

The Gazette of last night contains the Official
Accoutit of the capture of ...kmboyaa. It gives *us
great p:easure to tiud that. so valuable a capture has
been mad:: with so strait a loss of lives on our part,

It is stated in a Morning P.iper that 'an engage-
r-Leta bad taken place in Ireland, between a party
of the IJotic;al Militia and a body of the deluded
men called Thrashers, in which several lives were
lo,t on both sides. We have received this Morning
letters and papers. from -Dublin, which are .perfeally.
silent upon the subject; we are thcrefote inclined
to hope that the Report..is without foundation. .

The George Canning,• Capt. BOUSFIELD, i 3 ar-
- rived in Ihe river from Buenos Ayres. She sailei
from ►he Meer Pine on the Iv Auust, in company
with II:,. Bigginson Senior, from which she sepa-
rated wo sLys afterwards. The whole of the Spa-
nish navy had kit Bit:mos Ayres, and assembled at
Monte Video, the present Governor of Wtpcb, and
all the o'd Spanish inhabitants, were determined to
oppose the- measures oft he Junta of Buenos Ayres'
amid had formolly
.s.goilied their determination to re-
sist by fnrce, it neo_ssary, the authority
~of that
Junta,, and even blockade the port of Buenos Ayres.
The people of the • latt. r place were apprehensive
that the Portuguese would assist .the Governor of
.111o•te Video, as they had at Santa Catalina a force
of suoti u:en. The pr, sent Junta of Buenos-Ayres,with 4 view to the stypression. of smugglin& had
come to a determination of lowering the import
duty very considerably, and an order to that-etfeet
was every hour expelled to be issued. The ex-
port duty upon silver and gold had been lowered,
the former to four and a half, the latter to two per
cent.

The negotiation -for the exchange of prisoners is
still continued, in consequence of the transrhission
of smile fresh prop)sitinns by Mr. NPKENrig,which
the Fre►►ch Government has put lorward in answer
to our ultimatum. Some faint hope of a successful
issue is still entertained.

Government intend, we understand, to erea ne-
cessary kA arks at Bantry for the accommo:iation of
a naval station. A squadton during the winter-is to
rendezvous at Beerhaven, at the mouth of Bantry
Bay.

The Chester Assizes commenced on Wednesday
last before R. DALLAS, Eq. and F. BURTON,
Rotert Howard, alias Baxter, was acquitted, but
was delivered into the custody of Adkins, the Bow-
ctieet Officer, to be brought to London, he being
indiaed at the Old Bailey for stealing a truss con-
taining a quantity of calico from Mr. Russell's wag,-
gon,. lie broke out some time since from Giltspur-
street Compter, where he stood committed for trial
for an offence in the city, and in a short time after
sent his irons, which he had on when he -escaped,
pickrd up neatly as a basket of game, direded to
Mr. Kirby, the Keeper of the. Poultry Compter, he
being his favourite keeper, with his compliments,
beggiig Mr. Kirby's acceptance of. them,
About ,four o'clo( k on Sunday morning last, an
alarming fire broke out in the premises of Mr.
DRAKI3, bakery Plymouth Dock, which entirely
consumed the same, together with two adjoining
houses ; three houses situated at the back of those.
premseg also received considerable injury, but for-
tunately no lives were lost.

EXTRAeT 0? A LDTTEiI ?IC Sf BRIST'OL, DATED SEP-
TII'MtER 24.
The morning of
.this day being very fin; vast
numbers of 1 eople crowded to this City, from a dis-
tance of many rniles'aroithd it, to see the celebrated
-.Aeronaut, Sadler, ascend m•his balloon. The city
was all'bustle the whole of the morning, and every
hou,,e that Could-conimand a view of the ascension
vvascrowded. Tice shops were all shut up, and all
busineBS was ata stand during .the whole of the fore-
noon. .• . %

" Lanidown Hill had at least '10,090' persons
upon it, arid every building or elevated piece: of
ground in the vicinity was covered with speaators.
There was not a house in B.istol that did not boast
its groups of visitors. The tout ensemble presented a
most interesting and • enchanting sight. The wind
bad lacer= at N..E. all the morning ; and Mr. Sadler
having declared that if it should After to the East, lie
should not venture, from an apprehension that be
might drop in the Bristol Channel, great
.fears.of a
disappointment generally prevailed.
" One o'clock was the hour.appointed for his de-
parture froM this lower world; and.trom that until
half past one all was doubt and anxiety.—Abont
twenty-five minutes.bebire twu, however, the wind
having continued at N. E. Mr. Sadler accompanied
by a' gentleman amateur, entered, the car, and the
Balloon. ascended in a
,majestic styl.e. It continued
to rise gradually, and pass over tie city, iu the di-.
reation of Exeter.

"'At the height of about -a rnile,Mr. Sadler tl;rel.v
'rant some letters; and Soon after* a current of air
changed its course direplfor the Bristol Channel.—
Many now expected to see th.e Aeronauts descend,',
but they evinced a ‘,,ntraiy intention, as they threwi
out sou.e ballast. 11:tte bAoon of course rose. still
htglier, and encountering a new current of air, it.
changed its couse to the southw“rd, in the direction
of Wales. In about half an hOur it entered some
thick clouds, and was entirely out of sight."

Cua.at.zs SMALL PYBUS, Eso.---The worth and
talents of this Gentleman render it proper that he
should not be suffered to drop into the grave
out a tribute of respect to his memory. He was
descended from an ancient and'respettable family
in the county of Kent, aid was twic%.. elected a It -
presentative' in Parliament for the town and port ut
'Dover. His maiden speech in the House of Com-
mons was distinguished by such ability and know-
ledge, and was characierised by such genuine marls
of ardent patriotism, that the following morning Mr.
PITT, with whom he.was not at all aquainted, but
who was always zealous in supporting that virtue
which wis,the.rulitig passion in his own heart, sent
a letter. to Mr. PYBUS, etfering to appoint him im-
mediately' or.e cif the'Lords of the Admiralty, which
situation lie accepted, and fulfilled, with judgment;
assiduity, and 'a due regard for merit, to the tuff ex 4
tent of his, influence. He was afierwards one of the
Lords of the fleasury ; aad throughout public
hfe.bis -conduct was marked by undeviating recti-
tude, affab.lity, and ,a zealous attention to the na•
interest ant; honour. When the ,Einperor
PAVLassumed the Thione of Russia, and seemed to
be animated by such feelings, and guided
.by such
views, as;becatne a pciarerful Monarch, whose ef-
forts might have checked the progress of Frent h
anarchy, and secured the independence of Europe,
Mr. PYBUS gave, a very favourable proof Of his poe-
tical taste and talents in a, Work addreised to that
Monarch, who, however, unhappily fell a victim to
a mental diSease, which pioduc-d a lamentable de-
grddation in his character, and a fatal termination of
his life. this Poem contains a welldrawn and vi-
gorous portrait of PETER THE GREAT, as well as
an animated sketch of the horrors and deplorable
. consequences of the French Revolution, and
throughout displays the enlarged views of the
Statesman, with the glowing enthusiasm of patriot-
ism and . philanthropy. Mr. PYBVS was a zealous
admirer of the Fine Arts, and has left a striking
proof Of 'his knowledge and taste in Painting, in a
small but well-chosen. collection of Pidures of the
old and modern schools. He was an elegant scho-
lar, and would doubtless have distinguished himself
At the Bar; to which he had been called, and would
probably have risen to eminence in the Ldw, •if he
had not been induced by the liberal patronage of
Mr. PITT, in the instance which we have mention-
ed, to attach 'himself to political pursuits. His
private life was
.uniformly characterised by.benevo-
lence, 'urbanity, mildness, and good-humour.. Mr.
PYBUS was above the middle stature, with a well-
proportioned figure, a gentlemanly alied, and a
countenance expressive of reflection and benignity.
He was only in the forty-fourth year of his age, when
a numerous train, of friends, including some of the
most distinguishes' charaders in the country, were
'unexpeaedly deprived of so valuable a companion,
and society of so estimable a member.
Last week a General Court Martial assembled at
:Norman Cross Bafracks, for the trial of Major
Hedley, of the Northumberland Militia, upon
charges preferred against him by Lieut.-Col. Coulson,
'of the 'smile regiment, for -unofficer and ungentle-
manlike-Cooduct, and yesterday week the Court
dosed its proceedings, the result of which will not.
be- known- till sanctioned by His Majesty: The
Court, after finishing the above, proceeded upon
the trial of Lieutenant Morrion, Of the same regi-
ment, whose defence was to be entered upon on
Friday.

Major-General MONTRESOR is appointed to the
Command of the Western Disttia in Ireland, and
has fixed his head-quarters at Athlone.
A man of the natne‘qt Hunt, an eccentric charac-
ter of low habits, well known at Tattersall's as a dog
fancier, has been committed, for want of sureties, to
keep the peace towards Lord Barrymore, whoth lie
had challenged to tight "with sword or pistol.
