Outrages in China.

London, June 26.—A dispatch from Shanghai says details have been received there of the outrages upon Americans and other foreigners ar Ching-Tu, capital of the province of Szechuen, showing that their sufferings have been appalling. The viceroy of the province encouraged the Chinese mob to destroy the missionary and other property, and it is reported a Chinese official attempted to behead Bishop Dunand. The French Minister at Pekin has sent an ultimatum to the viceroy at Nanking demanding prompt redress for wrongs done foreigners, and announcing in event of non-compliance with the demands of France, the commander of the French squadron will be empowered to act at his discretion.
