have long been the terror of The Spaniards;
robbing them of their horses, mules and
property-trayeliDg the greatest distan-

ships to make war, 10 which they have
been unusually victorious. Major O'Fal-
lon has established peace between the bel.
ligerents, and this pluudering warfare is
no longer to be carried on. The Spans

but the iron breaking, they were drag
ged along by the balloon, and the car
coming in contact with a chimney, Mr..
Sadler was thrown out, but caught the
rope, when the balloon assembled to a
considerable height, and then again de-
seconded, but Mr.. S. was so much ex-
hausted that he fell to the ground. The
balloon then again assembled, and again
descended near Whalley, (about three or
four miles from the spot where Mr.. S.
fell) and the car coming in contact with
some sails, the other person was thrown
out, and had his left arm broken, his
head bruised, and otherwise injured"
