THE PARKS.

At one o'clock the Parks were covered with an
immense assemblage of people, of all descriptions.
The process of filling the Balloon was finished by
twelve o'clock, and on a signal being given it was
let loose, and ascended majestically to a very great
height, taking a direction north-west by north. A Mr.
Green went up in the Parachute attached to the Bal-
loon. In a quarter of an hour both were completely
out of sight. After the ascension the multitude pro-
ceeded into Hyde Park, and witnessed a well con-
tested Rowing-match. They were afterwards highly
delighted with the Walking-snatch on the water.
The Dragon Hunt terminated the amusements before
dinner.

Everything is again tranquil at the west end of
the town; arid there has been no renewal of the dis-
turbances which disgraced the earlier part of the day.
Picquets of Cavalry continue parading the streets;
and, in consequence of the Parks having drawn
away all the population, an unusual stillness per-
vades the town.

The multitude, in pressing from Hyde Park into
the Green Park, broke down the iron raili .g between
them ; but happily no person was seriously injured.

The design for the Monument to the late ICING
has been placed upon the Coronation Tickets. This
circumstance is at once creditable to the taste and
the feelings of our present Monarch—a most cre-
ditable tribute to his revered father—having a design
for a Monument to his memory on the day of his
own Coronation.

Madrid Pipers arrived to-day to the sth of July.
The following are extracts :

CADIZ, JUNE es.
The Manchego brigantine has arrived at Malta
from the Havannah, from which port it sailed on
the llth May. They had news from Vera Cruz of
24th April, and from Mexico of the 12th. It seems
that the rebel Lurzide was entrenched 50 leagues
from that capital, and it was said the desertion con-
tinued. Some smuggling parties having appeared
near Vera Cruz, it had been resolved, among other
precautions, to land some men from the Fama fri-
gate and other vessels in that port.

IRUN, JUNE £9.
Remittances of money proceeding from the Loan
at Paris, continue to arrive here regularly. Two mil-
lions of reals have arrived this week by the Diligence,
from Bayonne.

The Presidio of Mililla or Africa, appears to have
suffered severely from a succession of earthquakes,
but the particulars have not been received.—On the
30th April there was no less than sixteen shocks be-
tween nice and ten at night.
Merino (say accounts from Lima, of the 30th June)
has banished from this country some of his followers;
some of whom have been seen among the mountains,
almost naked and quite destitute. The band of Zal-
divar is stated to be reduced to five or six persons.
The representations made to the Cortes by the Ame-
rican Deputies is now published, in which they express
their sorrow that the flattering hopes are vanished
which they had conceived, from the motion of Conde
de Torreno' approved by the Cortes; and the only
conclusion they can draw from the Report of the
Special Committee is, that the affairs of America are
in a most critical situation, and that the moment
is arrived to take measures out of the ordinary course
to remedy the grievous evils which they 'now suffer,
and to preient the still more serious calamities with
which they are threateued.
