ROME, May 24.- The congregation de la Propaganda have received the melancholy accounts from China, that a revolution has happened in that empire, which has cost the lives of 40,000 people; the true cause of it is not known, but it is suspected that religious principles have some part in it, particularly as 30 Missionaries were driven from the Empire.

Read a second time the bill for punishing persons going armed in disguise. Also the bill for the disposal of the bodies of criminals.
In a Committee went through the bill for regulating mad-houses, the seamens pay bill, and several others, with amendments.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer brought up two messages from his Majesty, respectively recommending to the House to provide for the payment of two pensions : the one of �1000. per annum to Sir Guy Carleton, for his own life, with the remainder to Lady Carleton and her two sons :- the other, of �500. per annum, to Brook Watson, Esq for his services as Commissary General in America, during the late war.

This day their Majesties gave an entertainment at Kew Palace to all the Royal Family, previous to the departure of the Princes Ernest, Adolphus, and Augustus, for the University of Gottingen, in Germany where they are to continue their studies for three years: They are to be attended by Gen. Grenville, as their Governor, and the Rev. Mr. Hughes, their present Preceptor, who, with their pages, form the whole establishment that is to go with them, other subaltern servants being provided on the Continent.
A plan is under consideration of Government, in order to prevent the improper exportation of horses from this kingdom. This is intended to be done, by obliging them to be entered at the Custom-house, and to pay a duty on the embarkation.
On Saturday ended in the Cricket-field near White Conduit-House, the great cricket-match between the whole county of Kent and five gentlemen belonging to the Star and Garter Club, with six men picked from any part of England. The match was extremely well played on both sides, but at length terminated in favour of the Star and Garter Club by a majority of five notches, which may be attributed to the excellence of Lumpey's bowling and Small's batting.
Authentic intelligence was received at the India House, by the Britannia, on Friday, of the death of Tippoo Sultan. The following circumstances attended his death: Tippoo had assembled a large army to act against the Mahrattas, but before he commenced his operations against that nation, he determined to attack Hyet Saib (who surrendered Bednore to General Matthews), then at the head of a large body of Vacars on the Malabar coast - Hyet Saib was strongly intrenched, and the right of his intrenchment was covered by a strong mud fort. Tippoo's forces were repulsed in two attacks, and 2000 men were lost in an attempt to storm the fort. Tippoo peremptorily ordered them to advance a third time to the attack sword in hand - but instead of obeying his orders, some of the troops turned suddenly upon him, fired, and mortally wounded him. He was carried to Seringapatam, where he died. His son, an infant, succeeded him, and Cumrordien Cawn was declared Regent. This arrangement was opposed by Hyder's surviving son, and it was reported at Madrass, that Hyder's son and Cumrordien Cawn were slain. The Mahrattas and the Nizam, with their joint forces, have since crossed the Kristra, and in all probability the power of Hyder's vast empire is at an end, as it was proposed to confer upon Hyet Saib Hyder's conquests on the Malabar coast, and to reinstate the ancient family of the Mysore Rajah in Mysore, as a tributary to the Mahrattas.
A most remarkable seizure was lately made by Mr. Tankard, of Dartford, which, it is said, is likely to turn out extremely beneficial. The Captain of a ship, whose wife died abroad, brought home a coffin, in which was supposed to be the remains of his once beloved wife. It was suffered to be taken on shore without searching, and the lady lay in state several days before she was interred; however, at last, a hearse was prepared, and two mourning coaches attended with the relations of the deceased, and the procession moved on slowly towards Stepney, where the coffin was deposited. About twelve o'clock at night, Mr. Tankard and his man coming by the church-yard, observed some men digging, and a cart standing by, they watched the motions of those resurrection men and presently saw them open the coffin and take out the body, which consisted of upwards of 500 pieces of muslin and various other contraband articles. Mr. Tankard suffered them to proceed with their corpse till they came to Ratcliffe-cross, when he got assistance and seized the whole.
A notorious robbery was committed on Wednesday last.--- Lord Berwick having sent a considerable quantity of plate in a box by Powell's waggon, directed to his Lordship's seat in Shropshire, whilst the waggoner was baiting his horses at Castle Bromwich, near Birmingham, some villains who had got intimation of the contents of the box, stole it out of the waggon.- It is imagined that the thieves followed the waggon from London, where they have emissaries at all the carrier's warehouses, from whom they get information when goods of great value are suspected to be sent. Some of the gang then loiter on the road, and get a lift in the waggon, whilst others take care to be at hand to seize the opportunity of carrying off the goods, which are instantly conveyed to the Jews, who have crucibles at all times heated, and the plate is instantly melted down.
Extract of a Letter from Chatham, June 23.
"Orders are received here to hasten the repairs of the Brazen cutter, which is to be fitted for sea with the greatest expedition.
"The Solitaire, of 64 guns, lately in ordinary here, was sold by auction at the Navy-office a few days since to a Mr. Palmer, for the sum of �625. The ship sailed from hence (the owner having taken possession of her) on Sunday last."

VIENNA, June 8.
SIR Robert Keith, Envoy extraordinary from the King of Great Britain to this Court, has made overtures on the part of his nation for the conclusion of a Treaty of Commerce, and to obtain a repeal of the heavy duty of 60 per cent. upon English manufacturing, promising that Great Britain will grant similar advantages to the steel of Styria, the wines of Hungary, and other Austrian products; to all which Sir Robert obtained for answer, that the Emperor would willingly enter into a Commercial Treaty, but was inflexible as to the second part of his proposals.
LONDON, THURSDAY, June 29.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
WEDNESDAY, June 28. Passed the Sinking Fund, Militia, and East-Florida bills.
The House then went into a Committee on the bill for appointing Commissioners to enquire into the state of the Crown lands.
Mr. Rose moved, that the blanks left for the names of the Commissioners should be filled up with those of Sir Charles Middleton, Bart., John Call, Esq., Arthur Holdsworth, Esq. The motion passed without any opposition, and the House was resumed.
Passed the East-India loan bill.
Yesterday the three young Princes, attended by Lord Howe and General Faucett, went to Gravewend, and embarked on board the Augusta yacht for Germany.
Yesterday Lord Sydney waited on General Stuart, to signify his Majesty's pleasure, that he should not prosecute any further his dispute with Lord Macartney.
The following changes are confidently talked of :
The Marquis of Caermarthen to withdraw himself from an active department, and to be succeeded by the Right Hon. Charles Jenkinson, as Secretary of State.
The Earl of Salisbury to succeed the Duke of Rutland as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland ; and the office of Lord Chamberlain to be filled by the Duke of Dorset.
The Marquis of Caermarthen, it is added, has been offered the embassy to the Court of Versailles; but his Lordship is engaged to his noble father not to quit England during his life-time.
The following gentlemen, it is said, are to be called up to the House of Peers after the recess, viz. the Right Hon. Charles Jenkinson, Sir Harbord Harbord, Bart., Henry Banks, Esq. and John Rolle, Esq.
Lord Dunmore is appointed Governor of the Bahama Islands.
His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury has given up all thoughts of availing himself of the power the law invests him with, in the affair of a certain conspicuous Nobleman. His Grace's motives do him equal honour, both as a Citizen and a Clergyman. It is also in contemplation, with his Grace's approbation, that the whole body of the ecclesiastical laws should be revised; and that those incongruities, which still disfigure the reformation of this country, be removed.
Yesterday a General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was held at the India House, Leadenhall- street, for the purpose of balloting on the question, tor the Court of Directors reconsidering their resolutions on the 17th of March and 26th of May last, and also the resolution of the ship owners, relating to the hire and freight of shipping. When the glasses were closed, they were delivered to the scrutineers, who made their report that there had ballotted
For the question to re-consider, 362; Against it, 94.
By this the ship owners of London have so far obtained a conquest over Mr. Pitt and the Directors, and the important trade of ship-building for the Company is not likely to be removed from the River Thames.
A correspondent says, the question which has been carried by ballot at the India-House yesterday, against the opinion of the Directors, will prevent a saving to the Company of above �100,000. a year; a sum of very material consequence in the present very distressed state of that Company.
Four ships arrived on Tuesday at Woolwich, with timber and stores from the Baltic, for the use of the King's yards. Eight more ships are daily expected.
Saturday morning, about five o'clock, a number of convicts, sentenced to transportation, but who are in the mean time employed on the Thames, near Woolwich, refused to obey their keepers, and barricaded themselves in the hulk, so as to prevent all access to them, and threatening destruction to every person who opposed their design. Capt. Erskine, who has the principal charge of them, immediately came on board, remonstrated with them on the dangerous consequences of their conduct, and ordered them to work. One man, who seemed disposed to obey the Captain's orders, they immediately hung up; upon which the Captain was under the necessity of ordering his assistants to fire upon the insurgents through the grate, by which nine or ten were wounded, three of whom are since dead. It seems they had formed the desperate resolution of murdering the mates and guards of the hulk so as to effect their escape, having heard that a vessel had been taken up for carrying them to Africa.

Thursday came in the Court of Common Pleas, a notion in arrest of judgment, in the cause between Mr. Fox and the High Bailiff of Westminster, when the rule was granted of course, and cause will be shewn on behalf of Mr. Fox, why the judgment should not be arrested in the course of three or four days.
A very curious and interesting cause was yesterday determined in the Cockpit, by an appeal to the Lords of the Council from the Court of Admiralty. The question related to the prize or capture made by Commodore Johnstone Iast war. It was whether the capture was prize or booty, and consequently whether the property then taken by the fleet and land forces under his command came within the prize act. As the destination of the armament was against the Cape of Good Hope, and as a considerable land force under the command of General Meadows was aboard and shared in the action; their Lordships determined that case in question did not come within the prize act. The consequence is, that the whole property is claimed by the Crown, and the captors must relinquish their hopes of prize money, and depend on the Royal bounty for whatever compensation his Majesty may think proper or competent.

WINCHESTER, JULY 1.

SALISBURY, JULY 3.
On Thursday last Wm. Hussey, Esq. Member of Parliament for this city, and his lady, arrived at their house in New-street, from London.
Monday last died at the Deanry, in the Close, the Rev. Rowney Noel, D.D. Dean of Sarum.
Saturday the 24th ult. died in Herts, Adam Drummond, Esq. Member for Shaftesbury.
We hear that John Drummond, Esq. is a candidate for the above place, in the room of his late uncle, Mr. Adam Drummond, and that he will be elected without opposition; an instance very rare at Shaftesbury; but the Corporation interest, which has been declining some years, is no longer attempted to be supported.
On Tuesday last the remains of Lady Margaret Beckford arrived at the White Hart Inn, in this city where they lay in state that night, and the next morning passed through the city in great funeral pomp to Fonthill. The corpse was preceded by a great number of Mr. Beckford's principal tenants in mourning, on horseback, two and two, and followed by the chief mourners and friends of the deceased in mourning coaches and other carriages; the hearse, &c. being richly adorned with plumes and escutcheons. At Chilmark they were met by other tenants and friends and the procession then extended a full mile in length The corpse was that evening laid in the family vault a Stop, near Fonthill, with the usual ceremonies, attended with all the respect due to her exalted merit and rank in life.- We hear that the Right Hon. the Earl of Arundell and his Lady, with other Gentry of the neighbourhood, attended at the interment, and that dinners were provided for more than two hundred of the tenants, who sat down together in the Egyptian Hall. A vast concourse of people attended both here and at Fonthill on the occasion, who were highly gratified with the awful grandeur of the sight; and we understand that the vault at Stop will be kept open a week or ten days for the gratification of the curious. The coffin, which is very elegant, has on it this plain inscription: "LADY MARGARET BECKFORD, died May 27, 1786, aged 23 years."
On Monday last the Free Masons of the borough of Shaftesbury assembled at the Red Lion, and from thence walked in procession (preceded by horns and clarionets) to the church of the Holy Trinity, where an excellent sermon was preached on the occasion by a Rev. Brother, Provincial Grand Chaplain for the county of Dorset, before a congregation of near 1200 people. They then returned and partook of an elegant entertainment prepared for them by Brother Howell, and concluded the evening with that cheerfulness and unanimity which have ever distinguished that ancient society. As this was the first appearance of the Lodge lately constituted in that town, a vast concourse of spectators attended on the occasion.
We hear from Frome, that (by virtue of a warrant granted by his Grace the Duke of Somerset, on the information of the Clothiers of that town and its vicinity) several hundred weight of embezzled Wool, Yarn, and other Materials used in the Cloth Manufacture, were found concealed in the dwelling-houses of several principal linsey weavers, in Mells, Road, Corsley, and Deverel: And it appearing that such materials had been bought and received by them of different spinners and weavers employed by the clothiers to manufacture the same, they were all seized, and the people, in whose custody they were found, were apprehended, and on Wednesday last taken before the Right Hon. William Seymour, one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for this county, when after a close, candid, and impartial investigation of the affair for several hours, they were all fully convicted of the offence, and committed to the house of correction at the Devizes, and his Lordship ordered that on Wednesday next all the said materials be publickly burnt in the Market-place at Frome.
Several other linsey weavers, in whose custody great quantities of the like embezzled Goods were found, have absconded, but diligent search is making to apprehend them, as the clothiers are determined to put a stop (if possible) to so pernicious a practice; as it is not only very injurious to them individually, but greatly affects the credit and repute of the manufacture itself; and it is to be hoped that the clothiers in the neighbouring towns will follow so laudable an example.
Mr. James Parrot, of Stratford-Toney, has now in his possession a duck three-quarters old, which has hatched nineteen ducks. What is still more remarkable, she reared them all, and they are now ready for the spit.- O rare profit in keeping poultry!
So great have been the quantities of mackarel lately taken on the coast of Dorsetshire, that they were sold in our market Iast week (quite fresh) at 1d. per dozen.
On Tuesday last Giles Daniel, servant of John Elling, of Tytherington, and Robert Stephens, servant of Benjamin Pearce, of Warminster, were convicted before the Magistrates at the Vine Inn, in this city, in the penalty of ten shillings each; the former for riding on his waggon, on the highway, not having some person to guide the harness; and the latter for being at such a distance from his carriage that he could not have the direction and government of the horses. It is hoped this will be a warning to all drivers of waggons, more especially as the Justices are determined to inflict the full penalty on conviction of every offender.
An act having been passed this present session of Parliament for imposing a stamp duty on Hair Powder and Perfumery, which is to commence from and after Wednesday next the 5th inst. the public are respectfully informed that they may be supplied till that time with plain and scented Hair Powder of the best qualities, and Perfumery of all sorts, wholesale and retail, at the usual prices, by B.C.

LINES addressed to COLLEY CIBBER, Esq. (never before published) determining to quit the gaieties if life on his being become a grandfather.
By Mr. PILKINGTON.
WHY will you quit your pleasing strain,
So form'd to charm and entertain ?
Or bid loves softer joys adieu,
Unless they bid farewell to you ?
As yet no symptoms of decay
Exclude you from the fair and gay:
And will you sullenly decline
Your chearful nymph, or chearful wine?
Wine kept Anacreon ever young,
The fair inspir'd the lays he sung :
Let him your great example be,
So take your glass, and think on me.

WHEREAS Information has been transmitted to this office, setting forth, that on Thursday the 15th of July, 1784, a most considerable quantity of Tea and Foreign Spirits was run on shore near Christchurch, within the limits of the port of Southampton, from two large lug-sail vessels, by a numerous gang of smugglers, in defiance of the laws of the revenue, and in opposition to the officers employed in the execution thereof, who, notwithstanding their utmost endeavours, were unable to resist so large a body of desperate and armed men.
And whereas upon information being received that the said two smuggling vessels had taken shelter in Christchurch harbour, an attempt was made on the evening of the said 15th of July, by the officers and crew of his Majesty's sloop of war the Orestes, in conjunction with the officers of two cutters in the service of the revenue, in their respective boats, manned and armed, to seize and take possession of the said smuggling vessels :
That in the execution of this service they were most violently and forcibly resisted by a large body of smugglers, armed with fire arms, and other offensive weapons, who were assembled on board the said vessels and on the those for that purpose; and who fired upon the officers, and killed Mr. William Allen, the Master of the said sloop of war the Orestes; he the said Allen then being on the high sea, and within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England, for which offence George Coombes, one of the offenders, has been since tried, convicted, and executed.
His Majesty, for the better discovering and bringing to justice the other persons concerned therein, is hereby pleased to promise his most gracious pardon to anyone of the said offender, except the person who actually fired and killed the said Mr. Allen, who shall discover his accomplices, so that two or more of them may be apprehended and convicted of the said offence.

Custom House, London, May 9, 1786.
AND, as a further encouragement, the Commissioners of his Majesty's Customs do hereby offer a reward of �200. to any person or persons who shall discover and apprehend, or cause to be discovered and apprehended, any two or more of the said offenders, to be paid by the Receiver-General of his Majesty's Customs, upon conviction. And if anyone of the said offenders shall, within three months from the date hereof, discover his accomplices, so that two of them, at least, be apprehended and convicted of the said offence, the offenders making such discovery shall be entitled to the like reward.
By order of the Commissioners,
WM. STILES, Secretary.
Proposals for Publishing by Subscription,
SIX SONATAS. for the PIANO FORTE or HARPSICHORD, with an Accompaniment for the Violin,
Composed by Master M.P. KING, late of Portsmouth
***- Price ten shillings and six-pence.
Subscriptions are received at Longman and Broderip's, Cheapside and Haymarket; at Bremner's, opposite Somersethouse ; at Napier's, the corner of Lancaster-court, in the Strand; at Holland's, the corner of St. James's-street, Piccadilly; at Dale's Musical Circulating Library, Oxford-street; and of Master King, No. 36, Wigmore-street, Cavendish-square.
These Sonatas, most respectfully offered to the public opinion, are the composition of a little boy, twelve years of age, and whose practice and study has very little exceeded two years, and even that with an interruption of some months.
They have, with other pieces of Master King's composition, been submitted to the inspection, and honoured with the approbation of Doctor Burney.
A testimony to their merits, from such authority, it is presumed, will be sufficient to excite the public curiosity and indulgence, and that the protection and encouragement which have been so liberally shewn to youthful genius in the practice of music, will be extended to an instance, where practice is united with the study of it as a science.
The following is an extract of a letter from Dr. Burney to Master King's father, London, Feb.25,1786.
SIR,
THE productions of your very ingenious son were safely left at my house, and in consequence of the letter which accompanied them, I seized the first moments of leisure in my power to examine them.- The account you give of your son's premature age, and the little time he has spent in the study of music, render his compositions very extraordinary.- There are no gross errors, no flagrant plagiarisms, or even close imitations, nor do any common passages occur in them of any kind.
The young gentleman has great credit in his counter-point. - His style, his musical rhythm, and phraseology, are such as have been seldom attained by English musicians at any time of life, much less at twelve years old.- There are testimonies of experience in the modulation, and even nearness in the notation of some of the passages, that manifest good teaching as well as genius and study.- There is likewise a boldness in some of the licences, that a young and timid contrapuntist seldom dares hazard.
The quartetto has the appearance of the composition of a good performer on the violin, - and the violin part of the sonatos, implies a knowledge of the finger-board and genius for that instrument, which are necessary for all those who undertake to compose for it.
The songs have been examined, as well as the instrumental pieces; but I shall, for want of time, make no other remark on then, - than that the composer of the former, might well be expected to have produced the latter.
I am, with sincere wishes for your Son's success and prosperity, - for his own honour, and for the honour of the profession, for which he seems by nature so fitted,
Sir, yours, &c. &c.
CHARLES BURNEY.

SALISBURY, June 26, 1786.
WHEREAS a report has been spread abroad that Mr. JAMES PRITCHETT, Clothier, of this city, had been concerned in exporting Wool illicitly, which I have imprudently mentioned to several persons, but finding the same to be false, and injurious to his character, I think it my duty to contradict the said report in this public manner.
Witness my hand,
JOHN HOPKINS.
