AERIAL VOrAGE.

BOLOGNA, At/GUST 14.—The following is a more
'particular account of the new aerial excur fiun which
was undertaken here on the lad by Count ZAN-
saccaat and M. Ammar's', both known by their un-
fortunate eapeditiob of the lame kind 'aft year. They
affended in the pretence of an immenfe soncoutfe of
fretators ; for, befides the 70,000 inhabitants of this
city, about 60.000 grangers were collated from the
neighbouring places. The Cpedators were potted
chiefly on the Turrounding hills, and formed a beau-
tiful fpodacle. At fix in the morning, the fignal
was made by the firing of three cannon, and at
ten the ifelent took place. Abisut one the balloon
was entirely nut of fight, and all the inhabitants
and Bringers who had viewed the fcene, were
agitated between hope and fear for the fate of
the :intrepid aeronauts. when Dotor Awoatou
arrived unexpededly in a poR-chaffe about four
in the afternoon with his arm bound up. The
people immediately flocked round him, all anxious
to know what had become of Count ZAMBECCAILI.
Th.s account which Dr. Annum:Ha gave was as fol.
lows : In order to prevent their being carried too
nea r to the Adriatic Sea, they had Coffered the balloon
to diefcend at Capo d'Argine, the firfl Poll Ration on
the road to Ferrara, and had made their anchor fan
to an elm. At the moment when it caught one of
the branches, the car received a violent (hock, by
means of the rope, which threw down Come (parks
frosts the Montgolfier fire-pan, contained in the car,
and kindled Come fpirit of wine in the weird below ;
alarmed at this apparent danger, Dr. ANDRIOLI let
hinsfelf down to the tree by the anker.rope, and laid
hold of a branch; but, the branch breaking, he fell
to the earth, and received a contuflon on his arm.—
The balloon being rendered much lighter by the doc-
tor's quitting it, and inflated much more by the fire
vatich took place in the car, could no longer be kept
down, though two peafants who had hold of the
rapes tutted all their Rrength for that purpofe. It
rare again therefore into the air with the velocity of
lightning, and difappeared in the clouds. Not with-
out moron, therefore, did people apprehend that
Count Zaseasceea: would be expofed to the horrid
fate of being burnt alive in the upper regions.-a-
lbw dels intrepid man, in the min of the greateft
danger, did not loft his pretence of mind. He
found means so <missed& thi fire in the car, and
as the rudder was in llama, to throw it down to the
Ur* where it was found, but was not confidered u
a proof of the Count's falety. He now endeavoured
to *Nod u fpeedily as potable. becaufe be was al-
ready in fight of the Adriatic. The fame good for-
tune which rekued hint front death daring his former
voyage, attended him on the prefent occafion. Some
fifhermen who were out at tea between Comachio apd
Rimini, haflenedjo his relief and took him into dleir
boat, but the balloon efcaped, hectare they did not
immediately make Come incifions in it as the Count
had. &fired. 'llls day at one in the afternoon,
be made his may into Bologna: above a hundred
coaches accompabied the clues chaife in which he
rode. and which was drawn by a crowd of young
men, amidllthe thunder of cannon. while the French
and Italian troops lying *here, marched along to the
found of military mufic. Count ZAOIIItCCARI will
war pablifh a particular account of this new adven-
ture. The car remains at Comachio, but the bal.
loots, it is probable, has been carried to a confidera-
bledillance, perhaps to the Turks in Dania, who
fired at the &II as a grange monger, and then took
it prifoner. Whether Count Zardasecaas will under-
take a third aerial journey is uncertain ; at leaß he
will not employ a balloon filled according to Moss r-
cotar ca's method, which is always attended with
the danger of fire. The prefent French method of
filling balloons is certainly far preferable. When
Count ZAMBICCARI made his triumphal entry, aOOO
people at leaß went a great way to meet him. The
day was confilered at, a fellival, on which no one did
any work. Dr. Antasom was not fated in the tri-
umphal car.

His Majtvry will in a few days hold a Council at
Weymouth. when the Parliament. which Rands at
prefent prorogued to the 4.th of Odober. will be (lid
further prcrogued to the beginning of November,
then to meet for the difpatch of bawds.
