C. oLIIICAR It4ft•Paris on l'he 4ll
of Noiremter
to repair to Orleans, with intention of making an
zrotiatic experiment, according to the procefs of
Moo TO oert IR. He attempted two different days
to inflate his balloon, but without fuccefs ; at
length, to .grati6.the impatience of the public,
who had twice repaired in great crowds to the
place where the experiment wab to•be performed,
he determined, on the zsth, to make a third trial,
after taking the neceffary mealures to caufe his
machine to afcend.
At half after twelve the balloon wasinflated, and
retained only by come cords. C. OtAVARI, defirous
to realize the promife he had made in handbills to
afcend in his machine, fixed to the extremity of
it an ofier bafket, covered with paper, and put
intoit various combußibles and fpii ituous liquors
to maintain the fire in the chafing MI, which was
fixed between this frail balket and the balloon.—
He then entered are bafket, after having formally
allured the Members of the Adminiaration who
were prefent that there would be no danger ; he
then caufed•the cords to be loofened. He loon
role with fuch rapidity, that he difappeared in three
minutes from the fpeaators ; the weather, indeed,
was cloudy, and .the horizon was covered by a
thick-fog.
At one o'clock the Mayor &the Commune of
Fleury, dillant about a league from the place
where the balloon afcended, was informed by a
farmer that a man had fallen from the clouds in the
neighbourhood of the place where he had been at
work. The. Mayor, after afcertaining the truth of
this fad, immediately fent notice to the Prete& Of
he Department, and the latter informed. the
Mayor of Orleans, who went to the fpot, where
he faw that the body found was that of Citizen
Oe.tvac 1, who had fet out from Orleans in his bal-
-1 )on half an hour before his fall. .
On feacching in the environs of the body feveral
fra;ments of the bafket were found ; and it evi-
,lenly appeared that the only fupport of this un-
:ortunate aeronaut had been confumed.by fire.. It is
..uppofed that fome fparks from the chafing di(h
liad fallen on the too combuftible matters with
which C. OLIVARI was furrounded, and rendered
:lin, the viaim hisimprudencec and perhaps alf
f hi; unikilfulnefs.—Tht balloon di fengaged om
is ballalt continued its route,. and it is not known
where it fell.

• • A collier brig, from a fudden gale, foon after
the had run alhore to unload -her cargo,a few days
.ago,_ is at prefent on her bilge on the' hand.
The following dreadful affair happened near
Stone Pound, in the night of.Tuefday laft :—The
gxci re ma n of Hurft, and a perfon whom he hired
to affitl him in the execution of his duty, of the
name of Bignall, were on horfeback, for the pnr-
pofe of deteEting illicit traders, near the above
place, on Tuefday night, when three men, on
horfeback likewife, whom the Excifeman conceived
were fmugglers, appearing on the road, he in-
Randy crolied and defired them to halt. The fore-
moft of the three, probably miflaking him for a
highwayman, enquired if it was his intention to rob
him, and immediately railed a flick, or the handle
of a whip to ftrike him ; when Bignall, the Ex-
cifeman's affiftant, levelled and difcharged his
piftol. The ball entered the granger's body, a
little above the hip, .on the left fide went directly
through him, and lodged in the fkirt of his coat
on the right. He dropped, and the Excifeman
and Bignall, leaving him to the care of his allonifh-
ed friends, made off, and the next morning early
gave an account of their proceedings to the Super-,
vifor, at Lewes, who, it appears, moll feverely
reprimanded them for their latiguinary conduCt.—
The Exiifeman and Bignall, greatly alarmed, pro--
bably from what the Supervifor had faid to them,
for their vwn fafety, left Lewes with much preci-
pitation. Bignall took the road- to Rottingdean,
and, atlengthi-fecreted himfelf in a cavity of the
adjoining eliffs, where he, the fame day, was dif-
covered-by a man, who accidentally happened to
,pats the place of his concealment, alto infiantly.
*cured him, and took him-to the public-honfe at
Rottingclean ; from whence, foon after, under a
thong efcott, he was reconduCted to Lewes. Big-
nall, when dragged from his-retreat in the cliff,
by a Jingle perfim only, was dill armed with *pif-
tols ; he, however, made no refinance, to confirm.
niately was he overcome by the recollection of the
4 rah aft which he had committed. On: reaching
Lewes, they found that the Excifetnan had like-
wife been apprehended by the parties who had
gone in quell of him. They were, therefore, taken
together before the, acting Magiftrates, Mars.
SHILLIT and GRSIIN, who, on hearing the fads
flated,committed them both to Lewes Gaol; from
whence, it is expeEted, they will in brought up for
their final examination in the courfe of the week,
,and be fully coMmittea for Trial. The man who
received the injury, was living laft night, though
no hopes are entertained of his recovery. Neither
he nor his companions, it it raid, had any contra-
'bared property with them when the affray happen.

Hyde-Park was well attended yefterday, and, in
the equeflrian circle were fome excellent bode-
vonten. A Gentleman was thrown from the hack
of a fpirited boric, but -received no material in-

of the Park, and though lie was met in every. di-
rection by horfemen and foot paffengers, yet did
`he get through the gate into Piccadilly, down
which he made a molt rapid and uninterrupted

DARADFUL FIRES.-Early on Monday morning,
the cotton mill, the property of Mr. Denifon, and
which has been lately worked by Meffrs- Oats, Ste-
vens and Co. fituate near Penny-foot Stile, Not-
! tingham, was difcovered to be on fire, and not-
withllanding the immediate alarm, all Alliance
was ufelefs, and in two hours this beautiful and ex.
tenfive building was reduced to a mere thell. No
1 defcription can do jufliee to the terrific grandeur
1 of this fpedaele : the building, which is nearly 12c)
ifeet in front, and fix_ ftbries high, (lands infulated,
and was one of the greatell ornaments to the South
view of Nottingham. In one hour after it.was dill
covered, 'the whole of this elegant ilrhaure, was a
, prey to this devouring element, ninety windows in
front pouring forth columns of flame and coinbufti-
ble matter, fo as to endanger hayflacks in the mea-
-1 dots% at a quarter of a mile ditlance ; and when
the roof and cupola fell in, tin, Life& can wily be
1 • -
compared to a vokanic eruption. The contrail of
i this immenfe and widely diffufed light to the dark-
; nets of the night, the illuinination of the town,
cattle, and the furrounding villages, and the vifi-
j ble iliftindnefs of the rnoft diftart objets in the
landfcape,' produced, fuch a fublime and vivid ef-
i fed, as it will be as vain for the pencil to delineate
las the pen to defcribe. Fortunately no lives were
} loft ; and we hear that the building and' property
I were infured, though not near to the amount of the
mirchief. The caufe of this-calamity is at prefent
unknown. •
Lail 'ruelday morning, about five o'clock, a
fire broke out in the, dwelling-horfe occupied by
Mr. Archer, baker, in Middleburgh, near North
Gate, Colchefter, which was not difrovered till the
flames had fpread. into a bed chamber, aid it was
with difficulty that the family eicaNd the threat-
ening danger. Fortunately the engines arrived in
good time, and by the affiltaAce of the perfons at-
tending the fire was fubduei in about an hour.
Yefterday evening, about feven 'o'clock, a fire
broke out at a Cooperage, in Allhallows-lane, near
.London Bridge,which entirely concerned the fame,
and damaged the premifes adjoining. A fireman
