COLOMBIA.
Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Lavers, dated
the 25th of April :
" We enclose directions for making and entering this port, drawn
out by Mr. C. Dnuunna, Master of the John Canto, who knows the
coast and port well ; and the information, we are certain, will be of
great use to strangers
" SAWING 11111111C1101111 FOS =TRIMS TIC rosy OW LAOVATRA.
Lagnayra, weeding to the survey of Fidalgo, lies in lat. 10.
37. N. and long. 67.2. W. from Greenwich, which position seems
very correct.
" Vessels from St. Thomas's, IlSrbadoes, Su. in running for this
harbour, should shape their course so as to make either Blanquilla
to the East, or Orchilla to the West. Both these islands are tole-
rably high, and may be seen six or seven leaves olf. From a fair
birth between them steering down they ought to endeavour to make
hi with the main land six or seven leagues to the windward of La-
guayra, and then run along shin for the roads.
The land in the neighbourhood of the port is very high.* It
rises ersdueliy front Cape Carders to the famous Sills of Caracas.
" Leguayra in every direction from the sea appears to be lope-
'diately beneath the Sills. Thu town and fortificationt (which are
white) may be seen distinctly at five or six leagues distance. •
" ape Blanco, about four miles. to the Westward of Laguayra,
is only a small tongue of land ; and strangers approaching Laguayra
must not depend upon making it as a cape; without they are close'
in shore, and within three or four leagues of it.
" The land between Cape Girders and,.Puerto Covello* may be
approached without the least danger within two miles during the'
day; but from sunset to eight or nine o'clock in the morning, during
which time there is no breeze, vessels should give it,a wide birth—
say six miles, lest the sweU and current, both of whichlisvaro sow.-
dency to the shore, should drive them un use rusks. It is highly
necessary to observe this, as instances are not wanting of ships ,
driving past the harbour in the night.
" Vessels making Lagnayra in the evening should haul their wind
in time, for fear the wind should fail them before they come to an
:anchorage.
" The town of Laguayra is situate on the easternmost part of a
small bay. Goods are landed and shipped by means of antics or
boats, holding about two tons, from a wooden pier, which suns
out from the middle of the town. This operation is sometimes dif-
ficult, and often very dangerous, on account of the surf.
" Vcssels bound to the anchorage must be careful to have as
many of their square sails furled's& they possibly can spar% and a
good scope of both cables in readiness, as the regular breezes are
generally very stroog, and the ground in many places foul. Chains
are to be recommended.

Commander of the English schooner John Cate.

We have received letters from ort-an-Priace, dated
the Bth ult. at which time the kart of invasion from
France had wholly ceased. They repeat a statement
which has reached us through the American papers, of
a treaty having been set on foot with the French Go.
vernment for the acknowledgment of their independence,
and that Commissioners had sailed for Havre fully
accredited for that purpose by Beier.
The last Tut key Mail has brought letters from
Smyrna of the 19th tilt. and from Constantinople of
the 26ch. The former state that at the date of writing
all was tranquil at Smyrna, but no British ship of war
was then in the port. Trade was dull, and the market
generally was glutted with goods, which appears to be
the general complaint in the ports of the Mediterranean.

ASCENT OF MR. ORM.
Friday afternoon Mr.Viern made another aerial ea-
cunion from Coventry, accompanied by a Mr. Brooks
of that town, who, we understand, paid fifty guineas
for his seat in the car. After a voyage of fifty minutes'
duration, and notwithstanding the weather was very
tempestuous, the extent of their journey did not exceed
fifteen miles, as they landed in a field belonging to Mr.
Taylor, at Grandborough, without the least accident,
and returned to Coventry the same night in a chaise
and four. The barometer being injured at starting,
Mr. Green imagines the greatest altitude of the balloon'
was about one mile from the earth.
