THE GRAND JUBILEE.

Various precautions, we observe, are taking to
prevent the ill consequences of narrow approaches
to the Park on the ensuing Fete. Very large por.
dons of the railing and dwarf.wall in Piccadilly have
been thrown down. Nearly the whole of the Bird.'
cage walk and a part of the Mall are now hung with
the Chinese Lanthorns, in all their fantastic variety
of decorations. The Buckingham-house Bridge is
nearly complete. The Long Gallery and the Arcaded
Gallery, in front of the Old Royal Library, -in the
Green Park, are handsomely lined with crimson—
the circular Royal Booth, jar excellence, with scarlet
cloth. On the parapet of the Long Gallery, which
is for the Ministers of State, the Household, Foreign
Ministers, &c. there is in the centre a large-Tablet
inscribed 4, WaLtiscrou •" and on each side, the
names of the thief Generals who commanded -ureter
his Grace in Spain, viz. CLINTON, PICToN, ES•
FORD, HILL, STEWART, Gaattast, Corrox, hoer.
:11ie front of these Galleries is painted yellow, with
line and lozenge ornaments in black : it is to be dis;
tinguished by a profusion of variegated lamps, and
ornamented with flags.
The Grand Erection in the Green Park is desig-
nated " the Temple of Ooncord."glt is said, that the
intended Fire-works will exceed any thing of the sort
that has yet been attempted. The eight Fountains
will very beautiful.
The Chinese Bridge and Pagoda begin to look
very pretty. The general colour will be yellow, and
all the roofing a very bright blue. It will be almost
covered with lamps, amongst which the gas ligl.ts
will have the greatest share. Several little boats arc
already swimming in the Canal, which are to be
adorned with ensig,ns and lamps.. The astrekacloof
tfie CUM) taThetettelred of the weeds braethith it
was covered, preparatory to the introduction of the'
boats. The old wood railing: around the incloluret
have been repaired—and within those have been'
placed, entirely round the Park, a range of chrome-
de-frite, so that the improper intrusion bf persona
who do not purchase tickets will be effectually pre-
vented. • An immense number of common soldiers'
close tents have been pitched in clusters of half a do.
zen each, which have an extremely pretty effect.
Man)► of these are intended as receptacles fire ladies'
cloaks, and places for private retirement. The larger
tents, for refreshments, have been taken with avidity
by confectioners and ratorateurs, who will ptovide
ample magazines of solid and light food-, to suit the
palates of all ranks. Several stages for danclhg have
been laid down.

In Hyde Park the Fire-works will he worts grand
scale. One flight of rockets alone will consist of
thousand half-pound rockets. The other discharges
will be upon a scale equally magnificent. There wilr
be some new and splendid fire-works, water-wheels,
itc. on the bosom of 'the Serpentine. The Naval
Spectacle on the Serpentine will not be a representa-
tion of the battle of Trafalgar, but of the Nile, which
w.is fought on the Ist of August—tie Annirersai y
also of the Accession of the House of Brunswick to

the Throne. It will be recollected, that in that battle
the French Fleet at Aboukir, in a line so close to
the shore, the French Admiral thought only of being
prepared on one side to receive the English Fleet,
that bore down to attack him. Lord Nelson, how.
ever, ordered part of his fleet to run up between the
enemy and the land, in doing which, the Culloden,
the leading ship, ran right aground ; the other ves-
sels of the division, however, succeeded, while his
Lordship, with the other part of his fleet, raeged up
on the sea-side. One half of the French fleet was
thus included, as it were, in a forceps, attacked on
both sides and destroyed, up to the centre, where the
l'Orient, the Admiral's ship, blew up in the night
with a terrible explosion. The fight of Monday will
he an exact imitation of these nianceuvres. It will
he under the directiCa of Captain Billy Brows, t.f
Deptford, who was in the battle of the Nile.

A Dublin Paper received yesterday, says, that such
is the disturbed state of Ireland, that Judge Firroutut,
in travelling the circuit from Kilkenny to Clonmell,
was obliged to have an escort of 12 dragoons, not-
withstanding which, in one town (Callan) the popu-
lace pelted him with stones. •
The letters from Liverpool received yesterday,
mention that about 2000 bags of cotton wool had
been purchased on Wednesday in the market at ad-
vanced prices, information having been received from
Ghent that the American Commissioners there had
acquainted Ministers at the Court of London, that it
was in vain to appoint Deputies to meet them, as
they had uo sufficient instructions to conclude a peace
under the new circumstances of Europe. A Gentle-
man, however, who left Ghent as late as Wednesday,
positively states that the Republican Plenipotentiaries
were waiting anxiously for the appseennen of the
British Commissioners, and that theft epubb be

ASCENT &' MR. SADLER'S BALLOON.

0•11••••=1•11=.

Yesterday the curious part of the inhabitants of
London were on the alert, Co witness another depar.
tare in Mr. Sadler's Balloon from Burlington-house.
The wrist voyage in this instance was rendered pecu-
liarly interesting. A Miss Thompscn, who we nn-
deruand is an inmate in Mr. Sadler's family, and the
same lady who ascended with him from Dublin, was
to take a seat in the car with Mr. Sadler, jun. Aeros-1
cation is not the subject of so much admiration as it
was some years since ; but the appearance of a lady
eying on the wings of the wind, is now almost a no•
velty in England. No lady has made the attempt
since Madame Garnerin went up at Vauxhall, and
the undertaking on the present occasion was a muter
of attraction.

There is a disposition on the part of a British pub-
lic to sanction and support every woman of spirit,
who boldly throws herself on their protection, and
we may say hundreds of thousands attended to bestow
applause and encouragement.
Miss Thompson has long been desirous of mount-
ing in a Balloon from London, and, it is but justice
to say, she availed herself of the opportunity with
firmness and resolution, not excelled in any example
of female courage. The Balloon was iu every respect
the same machine that ascended on a previous occa-
sion. The apparatus was placed at the North Last
angle of the Court-yard, and by three o'clock the
Ba.loon was partially inflated. It v.-4s concealed from
the spectators who paid for admission, by large pieces
of canvas, which hung sacred as the curtains of a
Turkish divan, no person being allowed to enter the
enclosure except the men employed in conveying the
gas. The comp.lny found some consolation fur this
check cn curiosity, in the elegant d.splay of beauty
and fashion. The mansion windows were occupied
by ladies drank, and the Court-yard was riot without
a large portion of fashionable promenaders.
In addition to the amusement-produced by the ex-
cellent company, which frequently caught tile eye,
the King's own Staffordshire militia band performed
some exquisite music. There was also a band from
one of the regiments of Guards, and each played al-
ternately. 011 the top of Burlington-house a marquee
was pitched, which made a very gay appearance.—
All the roots of the houses commanding a view of the
ascent were crowded, as might be expected.
While the Balloon was tilling, and the company
remained in expectation in the Curt-yard, a busy
scene was going on without the gates in l'iccadiiiy.
A party of life guards were stationed to preserve
order among the populace ; but all their endeavours
did not prevent several daring fellows from mounting
the will to the parapet. A few wine dislodged before
they cculd gain the top. The successful, however,
when out of the reach of the guards, thought proper,
to laugh and express their contempt, whicn afforded
the mob no small slate of mirth. The wind, which
had blown fresh from the south-west quarter during
the day, increased to a strong gale, arid many per-
sons were apprehensive the lady wonl,l not ascend.
In that they were, however, quite mistaken.
The gale, which occasioned the 13.11100 n to move,
not,-.li.,stan3ing its confinement, with considerable
trgitatiort, had no effect on the intention cf the female
afonaut ; sire re fused to hear any observation to alter
lOC restittien, exclaiming to her companion, 0. Can
joiti go up " Certainly," was his ato, u.cr. ~ Theo"
fia id the Lady with a trnile-6, What man dare I dare!"
At four the Balloon contained gas enough
to carry the zronauts seventy miles, the distance it
was calculated they would go. It was then partly
atlized to the car, and at halt-past lour the atten-
dants remoVed it from the canvas screens to the other
side of the yard, in order to give it room to clear the
buildings. The gas, which had not previously put
the Balloon in shape, immediately gave the silk the
regular appearance, and nothing was wanting but the
anal travellers. Mr. Sadler, jun. got into thii car
with much coolness, and was busily tmploved tying
the cords which fastened Ile net-work, vThen Miss
Thompson came with several ladies and petqiern4.ll,
her friends. Sire was dressed in a lilac silk pelis;e,
with a neat straw hat and feather—she was interest-
ing in her appearance, and genteel in manner. An
indescribable sensation evidently pervaded the feeling
part of the spectators.
There arb many not yet reconciled to the safety of
this sort of conveyance, and dread the slightest disas-
ter which would inevitably plunge a tine bold spirited
young u (mon to destruction, occasioned great anxiety.
Miss Thompson, as we have before observed, was
'firm and determined. The confusion occasioned by
moving the Balloon was enough to shake the firmest
nerves, the Lady, hiiwever, did not appear to feel it.
Having taken her station in the car, the Balloon,
under tire direction of Mr. Sadler, sen. was conveyed
to a platform where the car rested. A pause ensued,
during which the friends of the adventuress took a
farewell ; a person at the same moment exclaimed
among the crowd round the Balloon—" Goo bless
you, Mary,"—then addressing his companion, I have,
known her, said he, since she was an infant. lam
sure there is not another woman in-England would
do this.
We observed, at that moment, the countenanced
the young Lady, and we thought there was an ap-
pearance of emotion ; a tear stood in the eye of seve-
ral of the spectators. That was the moment when
feeling was beyond description. 'The car was released
from the hands of the men who held it, and the Bal-

loon mounted with great rapidity, dashing aver the
North-East wing of Burlington-house. Miss Thomp-
son stood erect, and Waved her white handkerchief ;
Mr. Sadler waved the flag—both acted with all the
courage imaginable, returning the shouts of the people
until last to view.
The Balloon ascended, to an elevation from which
the fair uronaut must have felt all the sensation de-
scribed in the beautitul lines of Shakespear
" How dizzy 'tis to cast ones eyes so low
The crows and (loughs that wing the midway air,
Skew scarce so gross as beetles.
1 he fishermen that walk upon the beach
Appear like mice, and yon tall anchoring bark
Diminisled to her cock : Her cock a buoy
• Almost too-small for sight. The murmuring surges
That on the unnumbered idle pebbles chafes,
Cannot be beard so high.—ril louk no more,
Lest my brain turn."
Impelled by the wind, it (hove away to the north,

teas of Besborough, Marchioness of Camden; Lord
and Lady M,,rpeth, Lord Duncannon, Colonel Thorn-
um, Lady flarriet Gore, Captain Fitzclarencei
Jordan, and several foreigners of distinction.

At one o'clock this day no intelligence whatever
of the descent of the balloon had reached town, and
we regret to add, that feari are entertained for the.
safety of the aerial voyager,.
Mr. SADLER, sen. who resides in Great Pultener
street, has visited Burlingtet.house several times is
the course of the morning, in it *state of considerable
anxiety and alarm. He expressed iris fears that the vio.
knee of the wind may have tarried the b Moon with
unexpected rapidity towards the Ger:tars Ocean, at
the same time having the fullest confidence in the Mutt
and dexterity of his son (Mr. Wrantram SArmatt).
he entertains hopes that he may hay. h_en able, kir
taking advantage of some shift of wind, to kvep tie
suspended over Terra Firma, in which ease
the gale must have drifted it very far to the math.
ward. 'llett. scientific spectators who were piesent
estimate the rate at which the Balloon went off at iro
miles an hour, which is almost as great as thou! all
similar excursion-.

Since writing the above, we have learnt that a
Gentleman has (cached Town, who left I)4ver yes•
terday, and who saw the Balloon At seven u'clot k at
night as be pasied through Rochester. The B Moon
seemed much agitated by the wind. The titrinauts
would rubably descend soon after, as they were the*
within sight of sea.

by the Americans. A l!rge portii.n of Militia ht the

Negro habit, when, procee3ing to the shores, they,
hailed the British shipping, from which a immiter of
boats, with their crews, were dismissed.in tli hope of
receiving a large stock of Negro malccr.tents. As
soon as the sailors* had he .!ed, the militia produced
their arms, the men from the shipping were made

expedient was adopted by the Republicans, we heliove
that no further attempt has been made to carry of-
