GARNERM.

The anxiety which the public difplayed for the
fafety of M. Garnerin, in his apparently perilous
defcent on Tuefday, induces us to (tate fuch par-
ticulars as we have learned to remove the difagreea.
ble impreffion of a terror which it teems was en-
tirely groundlefs. The (winging, of the bancet,l
whichiad fuch a terrible effe when viewed from
the earth, was more apparent than real. The
body of the parachute was much affeaed by the
impreffions of the air; it toted and tumbled about,
but the weight of M. Garnerin fufficiently pinioned
it down to make it return to its due (lawn, and
keep within its proper fpbere. Garnerin himfelf
preferved an uniform and Ready deftent, certainly
with fame °foliation, but in no greater degree
than he has at an times experienced. This was
the precife feeling which M. Garnerin experienced
in the midft of the public alarm. At fome
dif-
tance front the earth, M. Garnerin, fearing that
his barometer might hurt him in the moment Of
coming in contaa with the ground, threw it over-
board, uniting to chance for its recovery; be has
not once heard of it, but it is to be hoped that
whoever has found it will be honourable enough
to reftore it. M. Garnerin calculates that he was
eight thoufand feet above the furface of the earth
when he cut away the parachute : this (pace be
tonk about ten minutes to pats through, fa that
the mere rapidity of his defeent was not fufficient
to be dangerous. It is already known that he
alighted without injury, the flight hurts he re-
ceived being the confequence of the crowd preff-
ins tria violently on him front a good-natured but
inconfiderate curiofity. Mr. Hunter, jun. the
Me&nger, was on the parade .at the time of the
afcent; he (poke to M. Garnerin, and informed
him that be had a horfe in readinefs to follow the
balloon, and that he hoped to come up to him at
the moment of his defcatt, when, from his know-
ledge art bath languages, he might aa as his in-
terpreter, and facilitate his return. M. Garne-
rin thanked Mr. Hunter for his polite offer which
he accepted with gratitude. Mr. Hunter followed
the balloon according to his promife. M. Garne-
rin proceeded out of the field into the New Road
in the manner we deferibed yefterday, and was,
we find, conduced by Mr. Hunter. Mr. Hunter
having taken M. Garnerin's inftruaions, they pro.
ceeded to the New Road together, attended by a
mob increafing by thoufands every moment. As
(non as they reached the New Road, the horfemen
er iwded together for the proteaion of M. Game-
sin, alio on horfeback ; but the mob Rill forced in
between them, and made fo much noifeandfoinuch
confufion, that M. Garnerin, faint and exhaufted
with the dreadfulexperiment which he hadjuftgone
through,anda ftrangertoJohnßull'sboifteroasmode
of exprefling his lindnefs, panting for breath, and
at the fame time nearly fuffoeated with dull mir-
ed by the feet of the boric: and men, feeing no
pr ofpeet of fpeedily extricatingbimfelf, as the crowd
continued to increafe, and the current of it being
compofed chiefly of perfons coming from the vi-
cinity of The place of afcent, running entirely
againa hint, he became quite impatient. He con-
ceived it would be the moll effectual and fpeedy
mode of obtaining relief to Mingle with the throng,
and efcape privately through them. Impreffed
with this feeling, be precipitated himfelf fuddenly
from his boric, and, (looping under the bellies of
--other L- • _ .

, .
'id towards him, no loneet teeing hini confpiauois,
and being informed that he was among their own
body, ruffled indifcriminately in every direaiim,
Acing, 44 Which is he ?" g, Which is he ?" Each
fuppofing Garnerin was at his elbow, without
knowing him, and atking—" What, ate you Gar-
nerin r' A fcene of confufion took place which
it is impoffible to defcribe. This was in the new
road it Somers-town. It appeared as if Garnet-in
would be trampled to death by the horfes and
mob. All was confufion. We are lorry to fay,
at this time two men had their legs broken, and
one is fo much bruifed it is feared he will not re-
I cover. The honks were very unruly; and it is
fuppofed that it was at this time that M. Garnerin
' received a confiderable hurt in his inflep, from
which he continues (till lame. He cannot fay him-
(elf precifely how the accident befel him, only he
is pofitive that it midi have occurred fubfequent
to his defcent. It is probable, that he mutt have
I been trod upon by a horfe, for the hurt is too great
to have been occafioned by a man. Mr. Hunter
begged the mot) would let him find Garnerin, as
he knew him and would fpeak to him. This was
complied with, and Mr. Hunter perfuaded Gar-
nerin his fafett way would be to go on horfe-
back ; that if he attempted to efcape on foot
he might be crufhed to death. Garnerin took
Mr. Hunter's advice; but the horfe, which an un-
known gentleman had lent him in'the field where
he alighted, was not to be found. Another un-
known gentleman difmounted, and prefented Gar-
nerin with his horfe, which G. then mounted.—
The animal on which M. Garnerin now found
himfelf mounted, was of a mettlefome difpofition,
and not being acquainted with the equitation Fran-
tosfi, began to caper. M. Garnerin's efforts to
manage him only made him more violent. Mr.
Hunter, feeling for M. Garnerin's uneafinefs,
propofed to him to trot. M. Garnerin readily
agreed, that he might get out of the mob, and
they accordingly ftepped on ; but the aeronaut,
whether from being unufed to this gait, or being
kill affected by the agitation of the parachute, was
jolted molt terribly, and probably he fuffered more
in his ride than in the whole Winds of the day
betide. In this manner, the cavalcade advanced-
without interruption, Mr. Hunter all the way
holding the bridle of M. Carnerin's Lorre, to
I the turnpike at the top of High-ftreet, Mary-la-
bonne turnpike, where its progrefs was arrefted by
the turnpike keeper, to the great annoyance of M.
Garnet in, who did not underftand the delay in any
other fenfe than as an improper vexation. He
threatened to knock the turnpike man down ; but
Mr. Hunter interfered, explained, and fatisfied the
turnpike, and the proceiflon moved forward with as
much regularity as may be imagined, to the refi-
dence of a friend of M. Garnerin, in Baker-ftreet.
The family here not being at home M. Garnerin
accepted the invitation ofMr. Hunter, to go to his
honk in Blandtbrd-ftreet, where he &ft took rcpofe
and refrefhment,after his perilous and fatiguing ex-
pedition. The approach of the crowd excited a great
alarm in Mr. Hunter's family, where, till he him-
kW appeared, it was believed, that the mob was
bringmg him home the viaim of Tome of thofe ac-
cidents, that happen on fimilar occafions. The
horfe that M. Garnerin latterly rode, is HI in
Mr. Hunter's liable, unclaimed. The horfe that
was firft given to him has not been heard of fince
he difmounted fo precipitately. It is to be hoped
that the owner will find the latter, as certainly as
the fanner will find an owner. No intelligence
has yet been received of the balloon ; as the wind
was in-land there is every reafon to believe that it
will be fafc. His Royal Highnefs the Duke of
York was on the New Road with the Hon. Mr.
Upton, obferving the defcent, and anxious for Mr.
Garnerin's fafety.
