They fubmiffively agreed to go with them to confinearnt; but when they had reached the middle of the ftreet, the officers were thrrounded by a great number, who charged then with fixed bayoners in every direction. The mafor did his utmost to bear down their eronets on the left, and captain John Grant, jun. was near him on the right, equally active. The mutineers, like cowards, were encouaging one another to puth on, and ad enclosed the three officers in a arrow compats, when one of the noft violent approaching the lieutenant-colonel's breaft, and threatraing to run him through, he was under the neceflity of pulling out a piftol, and prefenting it at his Fead. The fellow immediately Rooped, and the whole fell back, as if they had received t'e word of command. Many of the officers had by this time joined, and order was foon rettored; they were paraded at the dock, the mutiny articles read, and a forcible fpeech made to them by the lieutenantcolonel. They were then ordered, as a mark of returning duty and allegiance, to face to the right and march under the colours, which was inftantly complied with. The ranks were then opened, and fix of the ringleaders picked out, fent to the guard under an escort, and the affair reported to the commander in chief. The regiment has fince received a route to march to be encamped on the fea coast, This evening, between 4 19th. and 5, as the workmen were employed in pulling down three Joules in Bridewell, New Bridge street, formerly occupied by the arfs-mafters, but which were to be made into prifons, they fuddenly gave way. This melancholy event was caufed, in part, from removing the main beams below without thoring up the buildings in a proper manner, but principally from a violent and momentary guft of wind. It is fuppofed that between 12 and 15 men were buried in the ruins, fix were got out very foon; two of them not much bruifed, but the others confiderably hurt, who were immediately fent to the hofpital. In the evening two more were dug out alive, but very dangerously hurt; and two others have fince been found, who appeared to have been killed on the fpot. The walls which, from the dangerous ftate after the fall of the houfes, threatened further deftruction, were next morning pulled down. 22d. This morning, Ifdwell, Clarke, and Sharpe, convicted in May feflions of different forgeries, were executed in the Old Bailey.

Yesterday, about noon, a mob of 1000 people affembled before the mill and bakehoufe of Mr. Pickard, of Snow-hill, in this town, on account of the dearness of provifions, crying out" A large loaf; are we to be ftarved to death?" and prefently demolished the windows, window cafes, fhutters, and doors to the front of the bakehoufe, which fome of them entered. The acting magiftrates magiftrates of this town, W. Hicks, and W. Villers, efqrs. however, being informed of it, repaired to the place and called out the military; and the riot act being read, the mob were appeafed, and ord gain reftored, infomuch that all the military, except a guard of twelve men, who were left at the mill, were ordered to their quarters, with directions, however, to lie on their arms, and affemble at the found of trumpet. About eight o'clock at night the people became more riotons, and threw ftones at the guard before the mill, upon which three were taken into cuftody, and escorted by a file of men to the dungeon. As they were conducting thither, the efcort were - affailed with ftones and brick-bats, and a rescue apprehended; on which two of the foldiers fired, and killed one man of the name of Allen, and wounded another dangerously in the breaft with a ball, who now lies in our hofpital. There are five in custody for being active in the mob. A printed hand-bill, of an inflammatory nature, has been circalated in the streets this morning. The magiftrates have offered a reward of 100 guineas for the difcovery of the author. not having repaid, the old woman refufed to lend him any more, when he went to her for that purpofe last night, about 10 o'clock, at which time her husband, being fomewhat indifpofed, was gone to bed; the villain, finding he could not prevail on her, went up ftairs to the old man, who, it is fuppofed, alfo denied him, as he inmediately murdered him in the moft fhocking manner with a hammer, and the old woman, hearing the groans of her dying husband, was haftening to his affiftance, when the villain met her, and with the fame inftrument shattered her head in fo dreadful a degree, that the expired foon after. The neighbours, alarmed by the noife, got into the house and fecured the murderer.

Birmingham. Tranquillity 24th. is reftored to this town and neighbourhood. The king's own dragoons are returned to their quarters from Dudley, Stourbridge, and Bromsgrove, except about thirty men, who have been left at the latter place, on account of its being fair-day.

It is the fight of a large crowd of curious perfons that encourages the real rioters, who would be afraid to act if left in the ftreet by themselves. Let every peaceable man, therefore, ftay in his own houfe, and there keep his jervants and children, and, my word for it, the rioting will immediately ceafe." The intenfe cold which fet in on Thursday night the 18th, there is great reafon to apprehend, will materially check the progrefs of vegetation; and from the information already come to hand, tauch mifchief has been done among the flocks, juft thorn of their wool, and deprived of that warm cloathing which from the unfeafonable feverity of the weather was then fo peculiarly neceffary. At Broadchalk, Wilts, near 20co theep perished, about half of which were the property of one farmer; and 120 at Downton; 120 were killed at Steeple-Langford, the greater part of which fuffered from the hail-storm; Mr. Ruffel, near Shaftfbury, loft no less than 300; 60 were loft in Coombe and its neighbourhood; 100 at Place-farm, Swallow-clift, and a great many at Codford, and on almost all the farms around Salisbury Plain. In fhort, it is computed that onefourth of the flocks in Wiltshire are deftroyed by this fudden and unexpected calamity. Earl Fitzwilliam, attend26th. ed by lord George Cavendih. and Mr. Beresford, attended by fir George Montgomery, met in a field near Tyburn turnpike, to fettle an unhappy difpute, which had arifen in the late political quarrel about places and penfions.

At Paris, in his 11th year, Louis XVII. only fon of the late king of France. This important event was thus announced to the national convention by Seveftre, in the name of the committee of public fafety: "For fome time the fon of Capet had been troubled by a fwelling of the right knee, and another of the left writt. His appetite failed; and he was at length attacked by a fever. The celebrated Deffault was appointed to vifit and attend him; his talents and his probity convinced us, that none of the attentions due to humanity would be fpared. Deffault died on the 16th of this month, June 4; and your committee appointed as his fucceffor citizen Pelletan, a very diftinguifhed officer of health; citizen Demanger, firft physician of the hofpital of health, was added to the former. Faithful to the principles of humanity, your committee neglected nothing to re-eftablish the health of the fick youth. The difeafe, however, manifefied alarming fymptoms. At eleven yesterday morning, the bulletin delivered to us announced great and immediate danger; and this morning, at a quarter past two, we were apprized of young Capet's death. I propofe that the minute in which it is entered may be depofited in the national archives." Decreed. The above report to be inferted in the bulletin. Louis XVII. was born born on the 27th of March, 1785. His furviving fifter was born December 19th, 1780. Monfieur (now Louis XVIII.) has juft entered the 41 year of his age. 25th. The rev. William Romaine, rector of St. Anne's, Blackfriars, and lecturer of St. Dunstan's in the Weft, in his 81ft year. Mr. Romaine was a native of Hartlepool, and educated at Chrift Church, Oxford, where he took the degree of M. A. October 15, 1737. In 1749, he fucceeded Dr. Terrick as lecturer of St. Dunstan's in the Weft. In 1751 he was chofen lecturer of aftronomy at Gresham college, a place which he foon refigned. He afterwards became rector of St. Anne's, Blackfriars, which he held until his death. JULY. Yesterday Jonathan Jones, ift. William Tilley, George Hardwick, James Haydon, John Henley, John Delaney, William Heanlon, Simon Jacobs, John Solomon, John Philips, and Charles Crofwell, were feverally indicted for felony, in aiding and abetting Idwell Ifdwell in an attempt to efcape from New Prifon, Clerkenwell. The firft witnefs on the part of the profecution was Mr. Newport, head-keeper of the gaol, who proved the warrant of commitment againft Ifdwell. Roberts, his deputy, concurred in the fame point, and alfo faid that he knew not of the plan defigned between Ifdwell and his turkneys, one of whem (Day) on his examination, faid, that being induced by the premite of a large fum, he went with Ildwell to Artilsery-lane, to fee, as Ifdwell faid, a fick aunt, who wifhed to fee him. When they arrived there, three of the prifoners, James Haydon, John Henley, and William Heanlon, feized him, and wrefted from him a blunderbufs, which was fired off in the dark, by which Ifdwell was killed, and he himself wounded. Bernard Solomon, the next wit nefs, faid, he lived fervant with Mrs. Ifdwell; that he often went with meffages to Ifdwell; that he had been fent to Gofport for Jonathan Jones, who was Mrs. Ifdwell's uncle; that Jones came to town, and took lodgings for her in Artillery-lane.-On Good Friday, the day on the evening of which Ifdwell was killed, he obferved that Mrs. Ifdwell had fet out her bedroom with a number of phials and other apparatus, fo as to give the room the appearance of a fick perfon being there: he faw Jacobs, Hardwick, Haydon, and Philips, in the houfe previously to the accident: he opened the door when Ifdwell and Day came, and fome time after he heard the report of a blunderbufs; after which, he furrendered himself to the people, who came into the house in confequence of the alarm. Many other witnesses corroborated this evidence, and alfo identified the perfons of the remaining prifoners. The prifoners brought many refpectable people, who gave them very good characters. When the judge had fummed up the evidence, the jury, after having retired for a thort time, brought in their verdict, Jonathan Jones, William Tilley, and John Delany Not guilty; George Hardwick, James Haydon, John Henley, William Heanlon, Simon Jacobs, Johu Solonion, Solomon, John Philips, and Charles Crofwell-Guilty. 12th. Some difgraceful tumults, which commenced at Charing-cross this night, originated from the following caufe. A fifer, of the name of Lewis, went to the King's-Arms public houfe, and called for fome beer; the man of the houfe, feeing him in liquor, refafed it to him, on which a quarrel enfued, and Lewis was tarned out. He foon collected a mob, on whom he impofed a tale ef his companion having been crimped in the houfe, and then confined in the cellar, and that he with difficulty eicaped. The people, indignant, forgot that refpect to the laws of their country which fhould at all times govern their conduct, and giving way to the impulfe of the moment, broke open the door, and deftroyed every article of furniture that the houfe contained: when thus employed for about two hours the military appeared, and they difperfed. Lewis was, however, taken into cuftody, and after examination on Tuesday at Bowfreet, committed to Newgate, to take his trial for the offence. The mob again affembled at Charing Crofs, and on being driven from thence and Downingfreet, where it is ftated they broke fome of Mr. Pitt's windows, they proceeded to St. George's Fields, where they gutted a recruiting boufe near the obelifk, and likewife deftroyed by fire the furniture belonging to one Edwards, a butcher. The horse guards, the city and borough affociations, and Lambeth volunteers, at length arrived, headed by a magiftrate, who read the riot act, but with no effect, when the horse guards gallopped in among the crowd, trampled down many, and feverely wounded others. The military remained under arms all night. A very large mob again affembled about the Royal George re'cruiting-houfe, in St. George's Fields, on Tuefday evening, took from the houfe that part of the furniture which they had not deftroyed on the preceding evening, and burnt it in the road; the timely arrival of three companies of the foot guards, a detachment confifting of the life guards, and as many of the Surry fencibles, prevented any further mischief: one man had his hand cut off by a lifeguard's man, who was feverely wounded by a brick which was thrown at him; and we are informed that a piftol was discharged at the foldiers. 17th. This day came on, at Chelmsford, the trial of Mifs Anne Broadrick, for the murder of Mr. Errington, a Barrifter. It appeared, by the opening of the council for the crown, that the had been kept by Mr. Errington for twelve years.-The defence fet up was the infanity of the pritoner; and which was very clearly proved by a variety of witnelles, particularly her fervants, tradespeople, and perfons acquainted with her family. The unhappy woman was accordingly acquitted, to the apparent fatisfaction of a very crowded court. 18th. Reading.
