the party returned to day light ; each, as we have
been informed, having affilled in Tome part of the
Winds of a miner. Her Ladylhip was in pollef-
fion of a coal (her own digging), and feveral Mad-
Zers of the fulminating damp were brought up,
and afterwards exploded.
Lord LOWTH Ea and family left the Cagle, on
Monday morning, for Lowther, and are not ex-
peececi to return till after the affixes. Immediately
after their departurc,the flags at the Light Houfe,
&c. (which had been hoitted during the time of
their refistence here), were (truck. During his
Lordilip's flay here,every neceffary Rep was taken
to wards putting the coal-scot nto the bell order;
and his Lordfhip has alfo been pleated to make a
very liberal advance in the wages of his work-
people.

Mc EDITOR-It was with infinite fatisfaElion,
that we oblerved in your Paper of the 4th instant,
a patrage to the following etled, in your account
of the trial of Anthony Lutz, at Wincheiter
Affizes

" Anthony Lutz, private Soldier In the #2treiii German Re-
giment, was the man who aanally wrriled the Itandard from the
hands of Bonaparte's Invincible Legion, in the efer4nentorabk
affair of the a zit March, aot."

For the truth of this affertion, fuffice it only to
recur to the declaration upon oath, made by the Ad-
jutant of the regiment, in prefence of that all fo-
lenin tribunal, when the leaks of juilice were as
yet awfully fufpended between the final judgment
of life and death—a declaration, which, added to
the palliative circumflances of his offence,produced
a mitigation of his fentencc to the fine of one Ihil-
ling. A vindication of the merits of this corps,
fence they themfelves have had fufficient forbear-
ance to decline the office, becomes the duty of
every juil and impartial man ; and many there
are, no doubt, who feel already diljwfed to (land
forth in the caufe of the unjullly deprived. Script
of honours bravely won, porchafed, as we our-
felves can tellify, by the blood of more than zoo
men and 13 officers, bereft of laurels thus forely
reaped, not one of that regiment has hitherto
aliened its right. Yet hurt as they certainly mull
be, at the indifference with which their Cervices
have been viewed, comparatively with thole of
other regiments, they have, confeioris of their own
merit, muddily declined to undeceive the public
opinion. Such Silence may argue a dire& violation
of their own intereit, of which it mull be raid they
have indeed been tooregardlefs; but who will refufe
to admit, that referve in this cafe is more becoming
than an ollentatious difplay of their own aainns,
or even than a
_HI defire that the value of their
Cervices Should be truly appreciated ?
It is only neceffiry to add, that the perfons who
this warmly interelt themfelves in the capture of
the Ilandard, are officers who ferved in Egypt, and
are moreover peilonally acquainted with many of
that gallant corps, which diflinguilbed itfelf fo
eminently in the late brilliant campaign.
We are, Sir, your very humble fervaats,
&c. &c. &c.

If the two gentlemen taken to Worfhip-greet on
Wedncfday had aaitally ma, it is more than pro-
bable that each of them would have fori;;L: wiib
goofe.
Letters from Cadiz Rate that a convoy of Nea-
politan veffels had arrived there, with a pact of
the French troops who had been left in the king-
dom of Naples. According to fume accounts,
thefe troops are &Rifled for Saint Domingo ;
and according to others, for an expedition in the
Mediterranean. The rumours, however, refpeEt•
ing this pretended expedition, appear to be pre-
mature.

Heavy torrents of rain fell on Tnefday night
and Wednefday morning at Plymouth : we have
not yet heard whether it has done injury in the
country ; we fincerely hope not.
We apprehend the circumaance which happen.
ed to Mr. TRAVERS, in the Bath Mail, occurs
much oftener than is generally known. But leav-
ing the hones is not the only mifchief ; the coach-
men chive with filch velocity in order to make up
for loft time in (lopping at public-houfes, that it is
a matter of ftwprife that accidents are not more fre-
quent from the overturning of thofe carriages
Mr. RICHARDSON, one of the Proprietors of
Drury Lane Theatre, was fuddenly taken ill on
Tuefday laff with a vomiting of blood, which
was thought fur fome time would have been at.
tended with fatal confiquences. The vomiting of
blood has fence ceafed, and it is thought that his
recovery is no longer doubtful. Mr. RICHARDSON
is attended by Dr. COOMBE, who is of opinion
that the complaint did not proceed from the
breaking of a blood.vcirel, as was at firft fuppofed.
Tuefilay night, between nine and ten o'clock,
there was a Emale child, of about a fortnight old
(very genteelly drelled) left in the entry of Dr.
CARIQIE'S 1101Ifet in Lower Charlotte ftreet, Fitz•
roy-fquare. The poor child had got fuch a quantity
of laudanum to drink, that it flept four hours af-
ter it was difcovered. It was fent, accompanied
by a nude, to the watch-houfe till morning, and
is now in the work bottle. The perfon who left it
remains as yet undifcovered.

About feven o'clock on Wednefday evening,
two of the Guards, who happened to have a dif-
pute over their pot, went into the tercet to decide
the quarrel, facing the Barley Mow, in Drury-
lane. A taylor, who happened to pals by with a
bundle of clothes under his arm, and which he was
carrying home, requelted a by-hander to hold his
bundle whilft he went to fee fair play, and hopped
until the combatants were parted, after giving
each other Tome fevere bruifes. But lo ! when
poor Stitch came to enquire for his bundle, it was
gone, nor could he obtain any intelligence relped-
ing it. After a fruitlefs !earth, he was obliged to
return home, and relied on his folly.

Yellerday a decent elderly woman, going along
incautioufly in Whitechapel, the wheel of a dray
went over her foot, which it entirely crated.—
She was taken to the London Hofpital.
Yellerday about one o'clock, a Gentleman in a
one horfe chaife, facing the Admiralty, was
thrown out by the horfe taking fright. Both 'hafts
of the elude were broken. The Gentleman was
carried into a DoBor's in the neighbourhood.—
The horfc ran up Charing crofs, and very nearly
ran over a woman big with child.

Eatly on Wednefday fe'nnight, fire was dif-
covered in a dwelling-houfe in the Old Peale,
Dalkeith; occafioned, it is fuppofed, by lightning
coming down the chimney, which fet fire to the
(mock-board, and from thence communicated to
the curtains of a bed adjoining to it, in which fume
childre❑ lay atleep. Although the curtains of the
bcd were entirely dellroyed, and the bedding and
blankets, with part of the furniture and wearing
apparel much burnt, the children were fortunately
.relcued from the danger by filecdy Abaco.

N. FIELDING.

Mr. BARRETT', BALLOON, GREENWICH.

The roads towards this beautiful village were
crowded at an early hour yefterday with perfons
defirous to witnefs the afcent of an Engbatman
into an element which M. Garnerin teems to have
made, in an almoft exclufive manner, French pro-
perty. The finenefs of the day, and the variety
and richnefs of the landfcape, the harveft appear-
, ing every where plentiful, and fecure, afforded on
the way gratifications of the molt pleating and tub-
kind. The Thames, in all its grandeur,
added to the imprefflon of the fcene ; it was
water, and a multitude of (hips, of every fine, by
the impulte of a gentle breeze, bore the merchan-
dire of England towards the lea, to be circulated
over the world ; while the fmaller craft, filled with
thC inhabitants of the capital, fa-armed between
the mid channel and the flukes, which appeared
abfolutely animated. Every fifherman, and every
boat below London bridge, had been engaged
' fince the evening btfore : the roads leading from
London, as well as different parts of the country,
were filled the whole of the afternoon with con-
veyances of every defcription, from the poft coach
and' four to the Kent-greet land-boy mounted on
his donkey ; and the concourfe towards Green-
wich was beyond what k has ever witneffed, even
at the fairs. Blackheath refembled a race-
ground ; carriages were continually palling over
it. The One-tree Hill, in Greenwich Park, had a
beautiful effect; it was occupied by a large affem-
blage of refpeitable people, who had taken that
Itation at an early hour. Greenwich Hill was alfo
thronged by an affemblage at once novel and
amufing. Numbers of tailors and their *aft:,
and quantities of beasu and belle: afcended that
height, from whence a very good view of the
Balloon might be had. The defcent of the la-
dies was not fo fortunate; the grafs was dry and
fmooth, and a few Apr took place, which re-
called to the memory of many the fejlioe comi-
reline of Eafter Monday ! It was known at an
early hour that it was impoflible for Mr. Barrett
to go up, and confequently there was not fo great
a profs about the ground as might be espeeted
Wm the multitude. The cacti of the difiappoint-

went proceeded, as we are informed, fmm the
difficulty of procuring a Inflicient quantity of the
iron turnings neeeTtry for generating the
which the ballnoits are inflated. Som. m.eet wry
pet 'Oils, thing to extort a profit f, the nsa.
itopoly of an lc which is of no value. on any
other occafion, had engroifed it, and on
receiving from M. Bat rea lout times the uftral
pt ice. The exertions of Mr. Barrett's hie:ids
frustrated this combination to nia!:e of lb
great a public pleat-me; but at too late an hour to
enable the balloon to afcend in fufficient irrie to
'attic the fitlety of .Ir. Barrett and his companions.
Mr. Barrett was extremely defirous to go tip even
after and, regardlels of his own danger,
thought only of affording to the vail affemblage
collefled witners his arcent, the novelty of a
nodurnal voyage, which in nights fo bright and
beautiful as the prefent, would unqueilionable he
a charming rpeetacle, if the humanity oldie Viitilt
people Wet e not likely to be too much affeßA by
the danger of the individuals who procured it;
and if the diforders .:iikelv to occur in the night
amidst fb great a multitude did not reed_r it pro.
per to give up the idea. Mr. Barrett, having iee.v
every thing prepared, is determined to go up with-
out fail this day; he i, to be accompanied by Mr.
Maddox, a Greenwich Gentleman, and by a third
perfon, who is, as fume fay, Captain Sowden.--
Capt. Sowden was on the ground, and appeared
extremely anxious that the delay, wllich for the
prefent was inevitable, fhould not be praraCted
beyond this day. M. and Madame Garnerin were
alto prefent, and had fume converlttion with Mr.
Barrett. Lord Stanhot%e had rode zo miles to he
.there ; and if an 7 difippoiutmcnt, betides Mr.
Barrett's, is to be particularly lamented, it is that
of fo ze.kleus an amateur of rronautic experi-
ments as his Lordship. The balloon was nor
brought on the ground, bet it is raid to be larger
than either of thole in which M. Garnerin went
up. We have ken the car, and it is certainly bet.
ter confirttatd, being railed to a greater height at
both ends, and thus rendered much mere realm
The ex pence of filling, the balloon is not Co great
as has been ilippored. Mr. Bari ett had prepared
about twenty large bottles of vitriolic acid,
which may airtimer to about Col. and one ton
of iron pairings, the ordinary coil of which is front
to Bs. per hundred, but Mr. Barrett paid
more. To this the expence of machinery, af-
fifkaats, and labourers, as swell as the materials
and conftruCtion of the balloon Ufa, makes cer-
tainly a very large addition. Mr. Aldrade,
from whore grounds Mr. Bnrrett goes up, is
the principal fupporter of the experiment; many
i other gentlemen were equally earneft. The in-
cloture from which the balloon is to be let off, is
'ow; but the view from the hills in the park
being intercepted by the trees, will not be enjoyed
till the balloon has reached the height of one hun-
dred feet. The lanes about the ground afforded
a Orange confufiun of one horfe chaifes, taxed
carts, and waggons, intermixed with foot pain-
ger;, principally feamen or penfioners, alarmed
for the fafety of their remaining limbs, and crying
out a point a head, a point a flora--a littk to larboard,
1114 pr—heave e a lit, if you plenfe, Sir, and filch
other lea lingo. The park, from which the hills
mull afford a moll commanding view, after the
afcent, was not very full. The deer had no occa-
fion to be affrighted at the crowd ; they only flared,
but did not fly. The taverns were the places to
which the greateft numbers reforted ; exhaufled
with the heat of the day, and deli' ous to confole
themfelves for their difappointment, they regaled
themfelves with every thing their pockets could
afford, while the landlords with the moil cum.
piete hypocrify lamented a mifcarriage which gives
them an opportunity of making limilar profits
this day. About four, the roads from London
were quite thronged with private carriages, hack-
ney coaches, and Ilage coaches, loaded within and
without, while the palfengers, quite unacquainted
with Mr. Barrett's difappointment, and only fear.
ful left they fhould arrive too late, appeared ago.
niffical if they faw any perfon coming towards
town ; and if the cattle of this apparent derelidion
was explained to them, they were credulous even
to infolence. The bridges, and every fpace about
town fufficiently large to afford a view of the fky
fur any extent, were filled with gazers, looking
out for the balloon, with the moil impatient ex-
pedation, nearly till dark. The difappointment
was borne with more good humour than could
have been expeded, confidering that it generally
allows no excufe to be valid on fuch occafions but
the irrefdlible one of tempeftuous weather. All
who went down to Greenwich thnnght of nothing
when they were there but enjoying themfelves to
the bell advantage, and happily no place about
London affords more pleafures, or of a better
kind. The walks were thronged till a late hour
in the evening, and the fchool for the feamen's
children had an excellent benefit, the chapel and
'the painted hall having feldom had fo many via-
-1 tors in a day.
At nine o'clock tan night, it became a matter
of uncertainty whether the balloon was in that
(late of forwardnefs to warrant Mr. BARRETT'S
promife to the public, that he would afcend as this
day at three o'clock, but Captain SOWDLN, who
arrived about half paft nine lift night, and ex-
amined the Hate of the balloon, pledged himfelf
that if he was fuffered to fuperinteud the arrange,
ments. the balloon fhould be ready to afcend tat a
proper time this day, to the fatisfadion of the
Public.

Mr. ANDRADE conceiving this good authority,
(offered the prncefs of tilling the balloon to go on
within his premifes.
Mr. BARRETT and Capt. SowoEx at ten o'clock
procured feveral failors and carpenters to ant
them in getting in readinefs every thing belonging
to the Balloon. Several perfons were alto em•
ployed ro inflate it with common air, for which
porpole they had procured tw pair ,f large bel•
lows, and were in hopes that it would be filled by
one o'clock.

Captain oOWDEN fat up all night, in order to
fopet intend the preparations,that it might be ready.
tor afcention this afternoon, whcn Captain Sow-
DE$, Mr. BARRETT. and another GelidCal:41), WCrel
to proceed on their aerial voyage.
