MISCELLANY.

LONDON, October TO-
Mr. oadier assembled from BelyidcreI
house, near Dublin, Oct. 1, at D. m with
the wind at southwest, and in IS minutes
had sight OF the mountains in Wales: he
continued in the same direction till three
O'Clock; when being nearly over the Isle of
Man, the wind blowing fresh, he found
himself fast approaching the WEIGH coast ::
and at four o'clock, he had distinct view
OF the Skerry lighthouse, and the prospect
OF communicating his ardent hopes OF a spec
dy arrival in Liverpool The wind now
shifting, he was again tax off and lost
sight OF land 4; when, after towering aoou,
for long time, he discovered five vessels
beating down channel; and in hopes of as
slstance, he determined on descending with
an possible expedition, and preciptatng
himself into the sea. In this most critical
Situation, he had the modification to find
the vessels took no notice of him obliged,
therefore to reascend, he now threw out
quantity of ballast, and quickly reganed his
SITUATION In the air, to look out for more
friendly aid. 1t was length of time before
he had the satisfaction of discovering any !.
and then observed vessel which gave him
to understand by signal, that she intended
to assist him, but could not reach him
Two others also now appeared in sight, and
one OF them lacking about, hoistcd the Manx
colours, Night now coming on he was de.
termined to avail himself OF their friendly
aid, and once more descended into the sea !;
but here the wind acting upon che balloon as
| II lay on the water, drew the Car will, so
| much velocity, that the vessel could not
| overtake IL and Notwithstanding he used
his utmost efforts, and latteriy tied his
cloths TO the graphing iron, and sunk them
| to keep him steady, still the balloon was
| carried away so fast, that he was under the
necessity of expelling the gas upon that
| escaping, the car actually sunk, and he had
now nothing but the netting to cling to-
| His perii0us situation, and the fear If get
| ting entangled, deferred the men from COM
ing near him until, being in danger Of
| drowning. Mr. Sadler begged they would
run their bowsprit through the balloon, and
expei the remaining gas. Having done
this, they threw out line, which he wound
round his arm, and was then dragged a
considerable way before they could GET him
on board, quite exhausted.

PnTscE,
&c A deplorable credulity caused YOU to de-
scend from throne, where you were seated be-
fore the regular period, in consequence of the
puslianimlty OF your father, who had lost the ma

Your fall had like to have drawn with e
that OF the whole nation, who only owes its safe
ty TO its valor, to its perseverance, and totbe sa
crlilces which she made for her liberty and indie
pendence.

g However, more faithful to their oath, than to
the voice OF their interests, the nation replaces
upon your head this crown, which YOU suffered to
fail from 1t, and which they have known how to
conquer for you, and without you.
" Never lose sight of the fact, that YOU owe
this crown, TO the national generosity, and that.
however long may be your life and those of your
succe sors, they will not be long enough TO can
eel THIS debt
The country gives to your authority no other
bounds than those established by the constitu-

day IN which you transcend them, the contract
which she thus day makes with YOU viii be dis
solved, and you will remain subject 10 the law,
