THE BALLOON.

On Saturday last, agrecably to pro-
mise, Mr.. Guile made an ascent with
his Balloon from Powles Hook, oppo-
site this city. The ascent took place a
little after IL O'Clock, with Light wind
from the S. w. One minute and half
from the time of leaving the earth, he
cut himself from the Balloon, at the
height OF from 500 to 900 feet, and fell
suddenly more than half the distance to
the earth before his parachute opened.
He alighted on the meadow, about 40
rods from the place Of ascent--and when
he struck, bounded SO much, that some
fears were entertained that he would re-
ceivc injury; but he was Immediately
surrounded by the crowd, who bore him
in triumph on their shoulders to the
place of departure. From the time of
leaving the Garth until Mr.. e. struck the
earth again, was minutes.
The Balloon assembled in a magnih-
cent manner, took S. Z. direction, and
passed over this city. At 30 minutes af-
ter 10, when it was just perceivablc by
the naked eye, it exploded and fell.

Ccuta, respecting the treatment OF state
prisoners under his charge -
Ministry Of War.--The king, my
master, being informed Of the motives
and pleas on which are founded the in
quiries addressed to the reverend Bishop
of your fortress by the council OF the
tribunal of the faith, his majesty has re-
solved, after consultation with the same,
that the state prisoners confined as
American insurgents, or Iibcrales, shall
be treated with the greatest rigor, with
cut their being allowed the smallest IN
tercourse or communication with each
other; and It is further ordered, that
their civil and religious conduct be
scrutinized in the most scrupulous man
ner, and penalties and punishments in
flictcd upon them according to their de-
serts, as on the smallest contravention OF
these wise measures, depends the securl-
ty fthe state. Thus communicate to
you for your due compliance herewith,
under your own responsibility, the same
being by special command of the King,
cur Lord.

it to any man of common sense, if the
words in the section do not carry both
the spirit and absolute meaning Of the
statute as strong as that above, which |
cannot refrain to repeat :--' Provided,
That the said land or freehold shall

said, or at least two thirds thereof"

.NeGv- York Colony.--In our paper of
the 9th Dec. we took notice OF an asso-
citation formed in Ncw-York with view
to a new settlement in one of the western
states. In order the more effectually to
accomplish their design, the members
of the association appointed three re-
spectacle men from among their num-
Der, whom they empowered to proceed
into the country, and to explore it as far
as the Mississippi. Their plan seems
to have been to locate tract of country
that should unite the advantages Of agri-
culture and commercial pursuits. A
situation, therefore, On or near some
large navigable stream, appears to be
leading feature in their policy. The
gentlemen deputed on this business, pro-
ceeded by the way of the lake, and land
ed at 'Cleveland-they directed their
course through the central parts of this
state, and have reached Cincinnati
They have been unavoidably detained
here a.short time; but purpose leaving
this soon, with view to examine the
states of Indiana and Illinois as
ISOLATION, as we understand, already
comprises about 100 families, who are
people of intelligence and good charac-
ter--some of them highly respectable,
and well qualified to be useful.-This
little colony would be desirable acqui-
sition TO any of the new states. They
will bring with them knowledge of the
arts, of agriculture, and of commerce,
with habits trained to wholesome laws
and uscful institutions. 1t were hardly
necessary to say, that the kind wishes of
all good people will attend them.

This paper contains Paris dates from
the 9Th 10 the 18th. Fresh difficulties
appear to have sprung up. AT Lyons,
serious symptoms of disloyalty have APP
peared, and the troops refused to act
against the people. Paris is very gloomy,
and the royal family are evidently alarm
ed. The Duke d'Angouleme has been
openly insulted in his tour to the south i;
and an officer, bearing the written pass
word from the palace of Monsieur to the
barracks of the guard du corps, was at
tackled on Wednesday night, by three
assassins, desperately wounded, and de-
prived of the paper. His loss, however,
being instantly made known by him, the
password was changed.
! Another attempt against the royal
family has been detected and defeated.
Information of the plot was received,
and man named Gravier late captain
in the 5th Regiment of Lancers, of b.

ofsetting fire to the materials for an ex-
plcsion under the window of the Dutches

have been arrested charged as accom-
plices of Gravier in the attempt. In the
house of one of them were found fifteen
artificial fireworks, similar to that which
was laid for explosion under the win
dows of the Duchess of Berri.

LATE SPANISH NEWS.
Gibraltar, Nay 10, 1872

Gibraltar, nay IL, 1920.
"The affairs of Spain continue as yet
in a tranquil state, and will no doubt till
the Cortes meet, which will be in July.
This tranquility, however, rather re-
sembles that which precedes Storm
and you may safely calculate on one of a
serious nature SO soon as that body as
semble. 1t seems almost impossible
that this revolution OF things can stop
where 1t is-even allowing that Spain
may have her Washington and Andrew
DsOrias (Which still remains to be prov
ed) what course will be pursued toward
the colonies. Some of the most conspi-
cuous leaders of the revolution here are
decidedly in favor of giving up all the
transatlantic possessions of Spain to their
own government; and although this
course will correspond with the spirit of
the announced object of the revolution,
it still will be hard struggle. There
are also so many other difficulties to set
tle-and Ferdinand has still to answer
for SO much evil conductthat there seems
at least nine chances in ten against his
political existence.
Quiroga, and Riego, together with a
few others, have thus far received many
marks of distinction from his majesty's
hands. They have been named Field
Marshals, and selected as aid-de-camp
to the King--but It's not known that they
have positively accepted. They pre-
tend to say they ask no favor OF the 60
vernment, seeing that they have done no
more than their duty, &c. with variety
of other high-minded sayings, to be met
with in Don Quixotte's chivalric pro-
ceedings.
O'Daly the new governor of Algesiras,
visited Gibraltar two or three days ago,
and was received with much attention,
under salute from one of the batteries.
The lasl Gov. O'Donnel, is at St. Rogue
with his lamily--he is so disliked at Al
gesiras, and particularly at Malaga
| (scenes d his movements against Riego)
that he care not visit either place. He
is now private citizen, and exhibits a
living pidure of the reverse Of fortune.
There have been some sad specula-
ton made here by our countrymen who
have CONF out with flour, sc. in expec-
tation OF rsalizing some high prices that
were offered short time ago at Cadiz.
That article is now worth here little
over FIVE dollars, and other produce in
proportion.
