from approving their suggestion, and re-
proved the advisers for their presump
ton in meddling with bis royal preroga-
tive.
The Mathematical Board also present
ed their opinion, and intimated that il
this kind Of hurricane, accompanied by q
descent of dust, continued whole day, il
indicated perverse behaviour, and dis
cordani councils between the sovereign
and his ministers /; it also indicates great
drought aud desrness of grain. If the
wind blow up the sand, move the stones,
and is accompanied with noise, inunda-
tons are to be expected. 1.-THE descent
of dust continues but an hour pestilence
may be expected 10 the south west regions,
aud half the population will be diseased
Ia the south east.
The Gazette expresses his majesty
painful anxiety on account of the long
drought, and he has sent his SOUS TO fast,
10 pray, and offer sacrifice TO heaven, to
earth, aud to the God Of the wind. The
goth Of May was to be solemn fast-and
on The day Of sacrifice, the kings mobiles,
ministers Of state, &c. &c. were all to ap-
pear in a peculiar cap and upper garment,
indicating deep contrition.
From the above, it appears, that the
minds Of the highest classes of the COM
munity about China are exercised about
Sin and Proyidence-and Punishment /;
and that the light which unassisted reason
affords them, is by no means such as TO
render Divine Revelation superfluous.

RIVER MISSOURI

The rise Of the Missouri is periodical
and may be counted upon annually, viii
sufficient certainty for all practical Put
poses.
The causes Of its rise are permsrlE
and uniform. They depend upon The
melting Of the SHOWS upon the diffenat
tributary streams, which, from theirg geo.
graphical positions, are bound, by hs
laws of nature, to bring down their trih
utes at successive periods, from early ID
the spring ill late in the summer.
