" While I was writing the above, Mr,
called upon me with a manufeript account of a
dreadful revolution inLondoo,which began on
the ic December.—This account was brought
by a,effel arrived atNorfolk inggdays from Ha
vre de Grace, in France. The vessel left Ha
vre the iß(h of December.
" Notwithstanding the very particular and
circumstantial account given of this dreadful
revolution, and the murders of particular per.
font mentioned, the deftrudion of the King's
palace—Queen's house—Minister's house—and
of the Bank of England, I can scarcely .give
credit to it. That such a report was ciicula.
ted in print when the vessel left Havre, I have
no doubt ; there was time also for the news to
reach Havre from London ; but the atrocities
said to be committed are too great for belief ;
If the above news should be true a national
bankruptcy in. England will be the confer
quence."

'' The convention have commenced for the
trial of the King ; it is thought that their de
terminations will be fatal. Some members are
of opinion that the convention should regard
him as already condemned, and that they have
only to resolve on his punishment. Another
member has moved that the family should be
extirpated."

NAVIGTION BY STEAM.
Earl Stanhope's experiments for navigating
vessels by the Ream engine, without masts or
fails, have Succeeded so much to his fatisfac
tion; on a small scale, that a vessel of 200 tons
burthen, on this principle, is now building
under his direction, by the ingenious Mr.Stal
kart, the author of a valuable treatise on Na
val Architecture.
The expense of this vessel is to be paid by
the Navy Board, in the firft substance, on con.
dition, that if She does not answer; after a
fair trial. She Shall be returned to Earl Stan
hope, and all the expence incurredmad^ou
by him.
This is undoubtedly a noble experiment,
and highly honorable to his Lord Ship, whatev
er may be its success. If it answer, the advan*
tage to the public, particularly in inland na
vigation, will be immense. If it fail, he will
be entitled to the praise of having bestowed
much study and a large fam of money on an
object of national utility.
