We understand that Mr. l'etl has informed the scent of Sir George Jerningham that the Crown would offer no opposition his claim to the Barony of Stafford. The circumstances of that claim are as follows In the year 1807, on the decease of I.ady Anastssia Howard, the niece and surviving co-heir of John Stafford Howard, last Karl aod liar on of Stafford, the laic Sir William Jcrningliam Uarnurt, cousin and heir to Lady Anastasia, sud great nephew the Kail, presented a petition to his late Majesty, claiming lo'be summoned to Parliament, in resiiccl of the Barony of btatford, which bad devolved upon hirn Sir Vicary Oibbs, then Attorney General, to whom the peti tion was referred by lh Crown, in his Report thereon, after stattog that lha pedigree of the petitioner bad been saiistaclort proved before him, recommended the Crown to rrfer the pe tition for further consideration 10 the House of Lords Sir William Jcrnintham died in 1809, and Sir George, his eldest son and representative, has, from that period to the pre sent time, continued to prosecute his claims to the Barony.

The Barony of Stafford is very ancient. Edward Stafford descendant and sole heir of the body of Thomas Plantagenel you-'cer son cf Kino Edward nas Duke of Buckingham and Earl of Stafford, in the reign of Henry when he was beneaded fur alleged high treason. His only son, Henry hlal ford, was restored in blood (1 Edw. but admitted only to the liarony ol Stafford, which descended, through four genera lions, to lleory, Barou Staflord, who died without issue, leav ing his sister Mary bis sole heiress, and she afterwards married ir 1ll1a.u1 Howard, second sou of the or Arundel The Barony of Stafford was restored or re-created, by letters patent 12 Chas. 1.

The feasts of Ambrose de Lamela and his ingenious fellow-labnnrers in the plentiful vineyard of roguery ml imposture have lately been eqtlatled, if not surpassed, in town not a thousand miles from Shaftesbury, in Dorsetshire. About eight mouths ago, a clergyman of the place question, inserted an advertisement in a newspaper, which he notified his wish to receive into his faintly two three pupils of respectable connections Amongst the various answers and proposals which followed this public intimation of his intention, was a letter purporting to he signed by Sir Charles Asgill, iu which Sir Charles pro-pnsed to place his nephew, who had been at college and subsequently in the army, in this desirable retirement from the seductive allurements of the gay world. The clergyman huving ascertained from unquestionable authority that Sir Charles Asgill was a persnn with whom he might, with propriety, lorui sucn a connecuuu, further correspondenre took place, nnd it was ultimately settled that Mr.

Asgill should reside with him, payiug annually the sum of 3m It. The pupil arrived a shewy, talkative, impudent voting man, about five or six and twenty. For the first two months he was seldom seen about the town. could have been more politic. IMn ni- ear.

concealment in a country, not even in a borough town, with impunity. Who is he What he Where does he come from What is he doing?" Where is lie going and a hundred other questions are asked on all sides- This was probably the effect produced in the present instance. By degrees the stranger was more indulgent to the curiosity of those who felt any desire to make a nearer approach to the Baronet's nephew. He dined out frequently, charmed the ladies with small talk, pleased the gentlemen with his easy vivacity and knowledge of the world, filled the learned with admiration by his readiness in quoting Horace nnd capping verses, and by talking familiarly of l5ton aud Oxford, and became in short the general favourite. His liberality too was re-markahle.

Champaigne and claret flowed without stint for the enjoyment of his friends and even the passing guards and coachmen were inaae nappy uy ms His dress was of a splendour corresponding with his into nf mnnriiliepner. and it is recorded of him that lie exhibited hTmself to the wondering eyes of the towns-people in the full regimentals ol the Uuards. oorne of the more critical thought this an evidence of ostentation and bad taste, but the ladies were of opinion that the dress became him, and the common impression was that he was only a little inclined to vanity. It was impossible that such accomplishments ami such qualifications should remain unrewarded in a place renowned for kindness aud hospitality. People not only opened their houses, but their purses, air.

Asgiil not only got what he wanted, but did some persons the honour to borrow money from them upon his acceptance. In spite, however, of elegance and fashion, hills will become due: creditors have flinty hearts," and debturs must be wretched." The plot bad long been thickening, and the piece now concluded with a grand coup de theatre the principal character making one of those, sudden anil surprising exits which are sometimes executed in real life with as much skill as on the stage. The effect was electrical. Never did a castle blown up, or a bridge destroyed, more vigorously rouse the anxieties of an audience than ditl the disappearance of Mr. Asgill alarm and startle his friends anil admirers.

It soon transpired thai in his haste certain obligations which lie had incurred had escatied his memory and as tailors, to use loin suurae- ton phrase, were Horn suiter, wesnati uui no asio-tiislied that the tailor uf Mr. Asgill was amongst those whose claims were With all the unsuspecting cciifidence of honesly he had taken that gentleman's acceptance for GO, winch was now on the point of becoming tltte. The keeper, too, of the principal inn had a long and formidable bill against his excellent customer for champagne, claret, and braudy and other demands were talked uf in all directions nay, even lawyers, and those eminent, were said to have made cousitlerr.ble advances. The first step taken by the clergyman wilh whom Mr. Asoill had resided, was to" rite to the executors uf Sir CP .1 1.

Chatles, who, it will be recollected, died recently. Tho answer was derisive Sir IJIiarles nail no ncpnew. nun here it may be proper to mention circumstance, "liich is in the highest degree creditable lo the coolness and modest assurance ol the uero oi our saury, niveau ui U'ivinir up lite game as lost on hearing of the tleaih of his uncle," he clothed himself in mourning, as in duty hound, let fall some hints about a certain valuable living which would be in his gift, and expressed a doubt whether he would lake the title of Baronet or not. There is rood reason to believe thai the real name nf "Mr. Asgill" has been discovered, anil that it is not altogether unknown to fame in the annals of police: but, fur obvious reasons, we omit it for the present.

Tuo or three facls will better establish his rank amongst the most distinguished ornaments of his honourable profession, than any humble panecyricof our own. The tailor whom he delighted to honour he made useful in more ways than one. Besides giving him employment at home, he induced him to go to London in his company, ami there to call with him on an army accoutrement makprnf the Hebrew nation, not far from St. James's- street. The Jew, as he lias since coniesseu, was enuceu into the sin ofcredit hy the honest face" ot the lailor.

An, I il, i.irtc hv which he was contiinieil in tits ueias on equally displays the ingenuity and cleverness of this Grand Cress ot the Order of Chevaliers d'ltidustric." A letter was addressed to nun signeu oy a lenow pupii oi si. in which he stated that that rreutleman was unable to write in consequence of the severe injury he had unstained in a tail trom ins lauaem, our. iiiai ne was very well pleased with the parts of lhe accoutrements which he had received, and beaged that the rest might be forwarded. as soon as posstute. Having ordered some plate of a silversmith at and received an apology the tradesman, stating that he could not finish it by the time appointed, he replied very angrily that in that case he would not have it at all.

In a day or two afterwards a gentlemanlike letter was received from him, expressive of retrret at the intemperance into which the warmth of his temper had belrayeu mm, ami or tin uuwiuinyuess iu uo any thing that could be at all injnrious to a tradesniau, aud rraueslinir that the plate rniirlit be sent soon as conve nient. Such an atonement for an offence is almost favour, and we cannot doubt that it was' accepted.

who exerted them selves on this occasion in so pruiseivortlty a manner, the balloon begun to fill rapidly, and by three o'clock it was sufficiently inflated to carry up 3 persons, on Friday, from me iiiuoui yarn 01 hi r. in oerwicK-sireet, S-OIIO.

Mr. Sadler, lio, iliroiii.li a casual ntisiake, suu- posed it would not as-i-end till Moodily.

As delays, however, in these cases are dangerous, I resolved to ascend in company with amend, by the naiueol ims, liiinir un-ivilliuj. to keep the spectators any longer in stispence, and havino previously ascertained that Un whole of the apparatus was in a state of -safely, we began to cleave the liquid lield of ellicr, precisely at a quarter lie fore lour o'clock, the machine ascending rapidly and majestically in an eastern direction, amidst the cheers of thousands, who lined the tops ot the houses to a threat distance, many cases as lar as the eye could reach. 1 should here, however, mention, that Iliad provided a cord of 360 yards in length, in order, if possible, to keep myself for a time stationary, Hint those who had previously ridiculed the idea of my ascent might have ample ocular demonstration of its actually taking place. This line was fastened to a large piece ui' liiubn-, and I am inlomied, that such was the asct nsive power of lhe machine, that it actuatly swung mis piece oi iimuer roiiiiu, aim loriunateiy supped us Hold nullum uuiug any injury, jsucr mis we continued to ascend, and in a few moments lost sifrlit of the assembled tu ti 1 ti tittle, St. appearino- onlv as a diminutive building, and the shippine in river like children's toys.

The view was iiotwitlistanduio inconceivably grand.ee would amply repay any one for the risk in attempting to ascend. Our course lay over Waterloo and Loudon hridces. Greenwich, and Ulackltealli. We had now mounted lo a great height, nnd whirl) we found by the barometer lo be nearly a mile; and passing through a cloud we. felt it rattier cold and damp.

The i lnud apparently separated, and did not seem inclined to re-unite: while through the aperture we clearly saw the earth, free from any misty ap pearance, which sumenavcuescriui'u as ueing me case, tre then changed our course to the southward, tor the soace of five minutes, then returned to the same direction as the first. Tliroueh the powerful rays of the sun the nas expand ed, am! we plainly heard it rushing through the safety-pipe, wiih a loud hissing noise and as it escaped, it became as visibie as tlie smoke from a chimney, assuming a yel low lsn urown appearance, men juujjeu advisable in pull the valve. line, and notwithstanding the valve thus hecume open, we still discovered we were ascending, by throwing out sm ill bits of paper. In about hulf-a- ininute lime, it was plain that the balloon had he- 'au to descend, in consequence ot wtitcli we closed the valve. At this time we were at our greatest height, which we calculated by our barometer to be two miles and a quarter.

iMy triend, Mr. Harris, observed he felt himself very warm, probably llirouirli some attraction of the snlar rays by the machine. And as for ray own pari, I must say, mat alitiuugli at this great height, 1 fell no extia sense of colli, but we bulh felt extreme thirst. At lilts time also the clouds surrounded us like so many silvered mountains, and above our heads the atmosphere was serene beyond all idea. We also discovered that the balloon, cur, and ourselves, were each reflected in tlrj most beautiful manner, with all the different colours on the surface of one of the clouds but muck diminished iu size.

The grandeur and loveliness of this spectacle it is impossible lo describe we were, indeed, filled with as-innishtiient while beholding it, untl left the sight thereof wilh much reijrel, reflecting, as much as our situation would permit us, upon the Wonderful works of the Creator, and the idea of the immense space which, tin all sides, sin rounded tu. The valve being cloved, ami the solar rays powerful, tve discovered we nere floating on an equilibrium the paper which ne threw out doing the same -mi ly descending by its owu yraviiy, which was very slo-sly. Soon, huwever, began to descend, aud discovered lhe Ileitis in appearance like a beautiful carpet, bordered in il v.iriuits shapes, iih rich green velvet. Still keeping our easit rly direction, we soon discovered the English Channel, with South End hearing tu tin; uui th-east. The iNorr, Shetrncss, and the River Aiedwav.

Still descending we threw out tlnee bugs of ballast, which caused'us to skim over the wood, within a hundred yards ol the extremity.

now threw mil the grappling irnn.lliecar touching the tops of the trees, the balloon then ascended, lint probably through ihegrrap- phng iron lAKiny hold, caused us again lu descend, thus we were drawn between two trees, as to our great surprise the grappling iron took no hut it until we had passed be-liveeii litem, the of the balloon carrying away part of the upper branches. Such was the velocity with which the machine moved, that the grappling iron seemed to pass through the hedge without any resistance. We now descended in a turnip field, skimming along the surface, the car touching the ground, and thus we proceeded over three or four acres of ground, until, by holding down the valve line, the gas had escaped sufficiently for us to get out, which we diJ without the least personal injury, being kindly assisted by Thomas Clayiun. Game-keeper to the Earl of Dam- ley, and we were immediately surrounded by a Dumber of his friends, who rendered their assistance in the most prompt manner, by carrying the machine to the Coach and Horses, Slt'oud-liill, near Rochester-bridge which was about a inile and three quarters from the place of our descent from whence we proceeded to town, where we arrived safcli in a post-chaise, with the machine, the same night after being in the air nearly 65 minutes. In answer to the numerous enquiries of my friends the public, 1 beg leave respectfully to state, that it is my intention to ascend in a few days from Bath, by particular request of the piincipal inhabitants, and shortly after wiliiiu the limits ol the metropolis." CONVICTION OF A PIRATE.

Bakbadjes, July 15, IS23. Yesterday a Court of Vice-Admiralty was held here, at which tbe Hon. John A. Becklea preaided, assisted by the Hon. John Brattvwaito Skcefe, and (Japlain Crole, of the Surinam brig of war.

There were two casts before it, one for the trial 'of a mau taken and delivered over lo the autboriiies of lliat place by the Dutch brig- Champion, on lhe charge of being engaged in the Slave Trade, which the Grand Jury threw out; having no evidence to support it; the other was for the trial of a man of lhe name of Johnson for murder and ciiraCV- It anoeared to evidence, that the Colom bian privateer Aguila captured the Spanish orig Maria Dulore, earlv in Mv last, about one day's sail from Gibraltar, on her nr. passage, Willi a cargo oi uonp, vn, viou, iryu, isga to and the his the up the bis Il of lie in in or is Charlis the Secund, and the subversion ut lhe l.ov. rn mem act tu Ucrcnitjer, loou.

The Bill of reversal was immediately sent by lhe House ot Lords tu the then House of Commons, and was read twice in the Utter Home, St ordered to be commuted but on tbe day subsequent lo the one on which it was commuted, news ol the landing of the Duke of Monmouth arrived in London, which caused an adjournment of tbe two Houses by command of the King, and nnthing further appears tu Itave been done on ine uiu. Some time after tbe dissolution of the Parliament, in which the UwdB so passed the Bill of reversal, the Viscount Stafford's eldest sun nas created Earl of Stalford by letters pateut, wilh liuiitaliou to the heirs-male of her body, and wilh rrmainders over successively lo his brothers-in-tail-male; and the letters patent recited the inuocence of the Viscouut, and his having breu couvwted on the testimony of perjuted w.lnesses, aud made his widow Countess of Stafford for her life, and gave lo her daughters and younger sous bj him the name prccedeucy as if their father had beeu an Earl, and remitted all torleitures from the said attainder and under the same letters patent lhe Earldom of Stafford continued, tiil there was a failure of issue male from the Viscount Stafford, by the death of John Stafford Howard, last Earl and Baron of Stafford, without issue, lu the isdo l.ia three nieces, the ladi.s Maiy.
