From the favourah'e report of the Revenue it was expected some alteration would havenaken place, but last night's Consols were done at 69, and this morning fell to 68 7 / 8 . The Bank pay the Merchants this day the dividends, and to-morrow the Public. We stated about a month ago, that although the Public Accounts for the current Quarter would ex hibit a falling-off in the trade of the Country to the amount of some millions, there would, on the whole Revenue, be no deficiency; but, on the contrary, in cluding the last new taxes, a considerable surplus. The accuracy of this statement has been fully con firmed by the Quarter's accounts, which were made up yesterday. The surplus is £941,000. In the cor responding Quarter of last Year, there was a defi ciency of £82,000. Our accounts from Glasgow, received this morn ing, are, we are much concerned to state, of a very gloomy description. In the STAR of Tuesday we gave an article from a Leeds Paper, entitled " Dis turbances It Huddolfield," stating that the Magis trates had on Friday (the 3lst ult.) received infor mation that great numbers of the lower class in that neighbourhood, were armed with pikes and pistols, and that some kind of attack upon the town was meditated, to take place on a given signal that eight, by numbers of pikemen, in bodies of 200 each. The whole detail appeared so'strange, so in credible, that, though we felt it our duty to state the impressions, whether true or false, on which the Magistrates were there acting, we gave it without any remarks of our own. It appeared next day in all the Morning Papers; and in them, generally, also without any comment—a proof of the light in which the statement was then held. But there - is one circumstance in which that detail agrees with the accounts received this morning from Scotland, which induces us now to apprehend that some plan of general co-operation has actually been contemplated, and, r a certain extent, endeavoured to be organized, by some wicked and turbulent men. The Huddersfield rising was to have been in the night of the 31st of March—that is, the evils of anarchy were to march: into open view on the Ist of April l—proverbially, Fooli-day"—(fools in deed must they be, and worse, who can embark in such projects)—and it will be seen, by the subjoined details, that the same day had been fixed upon for, throwing off the mask at Glasgow, and the neighbour ing manufacturing towns ; and probably proceed ing to acts of violence, had not means been provided to overawe them. Providentially—We say providentially, the secret agitators and leaders had the imprudence to post, on the night of Ist April, and early on the following morn ing, in great numbers, in Glasgow and the neighbour hood, a most inflammatory and seditious Bill, calling upon the-People, in plain language, to rise in 'Kau and eject a Revolution in the Government by fine of arms. The Magistrates of course, whatever might be their other means of information, were thus fully warned of the danger with which the public peace was threatened; and, we are happy to say, acted with a degree of promptitude and firmness equal to the danger of the crisis. The military force in the reighbouthood, which is strong, various, and well appointed, was instantly put upon the alert; and a public Proclamation was issued, warning the mis guided multitude, that any attempt to disturb the public peace would be held as a seditious tumult, and be met with that decided repression, and inflic t:on of punishment, which such attempts so impe riously call for. We are happy to add, that this determined con duct, on the part of the local Authorities,'had the effect to prevent any armed rising ; but many of the people, we are sorry to say, have thrown themselves out of work, and, when our accounts left Glasgow (three o'clock on Monday), were walking about in gloomy parties, or standing in sullen groupes, shewing ro disposition to return to their employments. For particulars we refer our Readers to the following accounts FROM THE GLASGOW HERALD. " We are extremely sorry to state, that at no time' s'n:e the hegianing of Radicalism has there been such a general apprehension of danger as within these last ten days in Glasgow and its neigbourhood. • It was supposed that the new-fangled notions which dazzled some of our people had given way to the thinking sober-mindedness of tlye Scotch character ; but, if appearances are to be trusted, this conclusion has been too hastily drawn. There has lately prevailed a system of intimidation not formerly attempted ; and many well-disposed peaceable people in manufacto- , ties and work-shops have been obliged to enter the lists of the disaffected, from the terror of their lives. Indeed, it.is more among the operatives who have resisted the importunities and threats to join in those unlawful associations that the fear of danger exists, than among those in mote elevated situations: " Between Saturday night and Sunday morning there was posted upon the walls in Glasgow, Paisley,l and in all the manufacturing towns and villages for ' a dozen of miles round, an Address to the People of England, Ireland, and Scotland, calling upon them to come forward instantly, and to effect, by force if resisted, a Revolution in the Government. This paper is supposed to have been printed' in England ; and we should suppose it of Fnglish composition, from its dwelling much upon Magna Charm and the Bill of Rights, in which Scotland has no interest.— It is probable, then, that this same Address bas been circulated thrbuglz the manufacturing districts of England ; and the accounts of its effects there are looked for with much auziety by, both loyal and dis loyal in this part of the country.' " One of the injunctions contained in this Address was to abstain from all work after the Ast day of April, and we are extremely sorry to say that this order has been but too implicitly obeyed. All the weavers in Glasgow and its suburbs have struck work, and our streets are crowded with them walk ing about idle. The weavers in Paisley and its neighbourhood, have also, we understand, ceased to work, and it is not improbable that we may be fa voured with a visit from some of them. The colliers in the country round have likewise struck this morn ing, and we have unfortunately to increase our list with the cotton-spinners, and some of the machine makers and founders. Most of the mills began work this morning, but threatening visits were immedi ately paid to them, and the workers did not return at breakfast time, or have since left their work. The demeanour of the people on the streets is at present perfectly peaceable, and though they are occa sionally gathered into gloomy knots, still everything bears more the marks of an attempt to intimidate by numbers, than to strike a blow. Indeed such a scheme could scarcely enter into the most visionary head, as our militaiy force in this garrison is of the most formidable description, consisting of Artillery, Cavalry, a battalion of the Rifle Brigade, and volun teers. The whole were under arms this morning before day-break ; the regular. garrison in their respective barracks; the recruiting parties in St. Vinceut-street; where was also stationed the Troop of Glasgow Light Horse; fhe Sharpshooters, nearly 700 strong, in George's-square ; and a party of the Armed Associa- 1 tion in St." Enoch-square. The Yeomanry of this and some adjoining counties are also on their march; and, altogether, we think little is to be apprehended from open resistance, should, unfortunately, the ill advised people attempt any such measure. When this system of intimidation has been carried to such a length, and conducted, so openly, there surely could be no great difficulty in discovering and apprehend ing some of the intimidators, and thus let an attempt be made to give the due protection of the law to those who are entitled to it.—The Magistrates have issued the following very proper PROCLA MATION% at int/ LORD 1;110110ST AND ILAGISTRATIS OF TOR CITY OW GLAI. dOW, sU utzurr or LasArucslintr, AND Tits Jvnicis OF IPIACR roa Vitt LOWIR WARD OF its SAID COMM. 6 Whereas we have observed with much surprise and concern a highly seditious and treasonable printed Paper posted up this morning, not eddy throughout the Qty, but in numerous places In the Saburbs, denominated An Adders to the Inhabitcnts sf Omar Britain end frelend, which is obviously a direct declaration of hnmedlately-intended hostility to the Government and Con stitution of this Country—We hereby, once more, give Natio*, That all atrempcs which shall be ntade to follow up the lam_ matory spirit and treasonable objects of that Address will be In stantly resisted by the Civil Powers, aided by the strong Mili tary Force placed at their disposal, and that aU measures, by as semblages of people, in prosecution of such designs, wilt be.re prded as an Insurrection against the Government, and be in- 1 sternly put down by the most prompt military execution. And whereas, we have been informed that it is the inten tion of those who have issued the aforesaid Address, to bring in bodies of men from the country, in furtherance of their traitorous purposes, we hereby warn all such persons to abstain from being so led away to their own hazard, and the imminent danger of their lives. And we again warn the loyal and well. disposed inhabitants of this city and suburbs, in the event that any rising, as is threatened, shall take place, to keep themselves and their families within doers, and on no account to mingle with those who'slrsli be actually violating the laws of the country.--Glasgow, April 2,1820.' " Half-past twelve o'clock.—The crowd is increas ing in our streets, but all continues peaceable.—We are obliged to go to press. “ Two men are lodged in the Police-office for sticking up the Radical Address on Sunday morning, and two others are also confined there for tearing down the Proclamation of the Magistrates on Sunday evening." EDTICBUR6II,.MONDAY, APRIL 3. The 80th Regiment, from Edinburgh Castle, and the 10th Hussars, from Piershill barracks, marched for Glasgow at an early hour this morning. We regret to learn that these movements have been deemed necessary in consequence of some alarming indications among the Radicals of Glasgow and Paisley. Several painful rumours are current here this morning, regarding disorders in the west coun-: .s ~.~ try ; but by letters received fions Glasgow, dated yesterday, it does not appear that any serious dis. turbance had then taken place, although great up prehensions were entertained, in consequence of in flammatory placards, which had been distribtsted ' , there in the course of the morning, and of the multitudes which then thronged as Cutest*. The Authorities had taken every possible means to pre vent or put down disorder. One of the Addresses which had been torn down, we have seen ; it breathes the usual spirit of malignant advice, and an appear ance of temperance and forbearance; it has no sig ' nature, but bears to be subscribed 4 , 4 by order of the Committee of Organization, for forming a Paovt- SIONAL ObVERNMENT," and is dated Ist April. The signal for a rising was to be the non-arrival of the London Mail ; but we know not by what means it was to be impeded. The Glasgow sharpshooters were ordered to parade at four o'clock this morning. The effect of the Censorship imposed on the Press in France, is made to-day sufficiently manifest, by the arrivals from that country. The Itfoniteuto, the official Paper, is the only one of Monday's date which has come to hand, and even that is only half its usual size. All the other Journalists have, we I presume, either thrown up their pens in disgust, or have met with such difficulties in at first conforming to the new order of things, as have prevented their appearance. The first article in this half Moniteur is a Royal Ordinance, nominating the Members of the Commis sion of Censure, established by the law just passed. The names are all quite new to us, and we suspect they are not much less so to the French People them selves—a circumstance not very auspicious to any hopes which might be entertained from their inte grity. The individuals are : Sieursd'Ansaasssi, Inspector General of Studies. Ausilla. Member of the French Academy. Batas & D'Eaassner, Ex-Rector of the Academy of Grenoble. LAGIARD de CRSIIVAL. Louanoussx ; and bfazuaa, Inspector General of Studies. Another Ordinance also nominates the Membr•rs of the Council entrusted with the surveillance of the censure. In point of obscurity they seem much on a par with the preceding. The following is the list: Sieurs BOYER, Venous, OLL lilt; and Vossut as Gwarumrs, Counsellors of the Court of Cessation. Bum Ds Scraor, President of the Court of Accounts. • Tauzin.; Master of Accoanu. Dr MXILVILLI, President. LITOITZVIII and Lausitz, Counsellors of the Royal Court of Paris. It is impossible not to regard it as a circumstance 'of most evil omen, that the Censorship of the Press, among a great and enlightened People, should be confided to a set of men, not one of whom is of the least reputation in letters or in science. The only other French articles in the official bit of paper which has been permitted to make its appear ance, are, a Notice of the KING'S hearing Mass—ano ther of his MAJUTY's signing a marriage contract ; two anecdotes of royal charity ; announcement of an historical eulogium on the Duke of BERRY; List from the Ministry of War of military Condolences on the Duke of BERRY'S death ; instruction as to the forms of admission into the Special Military School ; and a dry list of Petitions reported to the Chamber of Deputies. The Reader will see, from this analysis, what an interesting and public-spirited thing a Journal, under Censureship, is likely to become. We think it would be well if all the Journals, that are not, like the Mo niteur, , compelled to appear, would persist in not pub lishing a line as long as the present system is in force; the deprivation to the Public would be such as could not fail to bring speedily round a restoration to freedom and independence. Yesterday afternoon, Lord and Lady CAETLEREAGH left town for their seat at North Cray. Lord AN CRAM had the honour of driving her Ladyship in his curricle ; but the Noble Secretary was occupied the greater part of the day at the Foreign Office, and did not set out till several hours after. The Hon. Miss FITZROY accompanied his Lordship. Friday is the day_ appointed for the return of the party. Yesterday Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD arrived in town front Brighton, in order to inspect the arrange mems.carrying on at Carlton House for bis MAJESTY'S return to town. The Duke of Smart went to Salt-Hill, yesterday, on a visit to Mi. COUTTS, who, we regret to hear, has had the misfortune to break two of his ribs. There is no truth in the report mentioned yester day, of the death of the Marquis of HeeTronu, his Lordship being in better health•and spirits than he has been for some time. Sir MARK WOOD, we are concerned to state, is seriously indisposed, at his seat at Gauen, in Surrey. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE has issued cards of in vitation for a grand entertainment on Tuesday next; at his villa at Chiswick. The Earl and Countess of DARLINGTON are ea pected in town next week, from their seat, Raby Castle, Durham. Lord and Lady CLIVE are expected in town in a I few days, for the season, from their seat, Powis Castle, Montgomeryshire. • Mr. and Mrs. HENRY BARING and family are ex ; pected to arrive on Wednesday next, at . their house in Berkeley-square, from Paris. Yesterday the Countess of JERSEY left her seat, Osterly Park, to meet a party of distinguished friends, invited by the Earl of BEsBoROUGH to dinner, at his seat, at Roehampten. Mrs..lowN DEVIPELL gave an elegant child' ens' ball yesterday evening, at her house in Lower Gower-, stitet,,, which was very fasbioaablrattended. ...I,An '( CHAIRING OF SIR FRANCIS BURDETT .... )E Tr . • se con- witness to have 1 o'clock. • nent on of tba 1 ess. ir. -I the ship elivered :—For Messrs: A Bor,d, I tcquevn, 1 utenarts ors Au- Success, I • e Vine, a a EADLICV ; Friends, r, from 6 id, vAlsland. r;• a iver aad merald, 1 Nelsort a ia ad Jams 11, from Calais; in'fnulli Crokrr, t .n Framp Ib - Can Ca n.- ada, to Tamer, is Se New r a Cadiz. lieru, trranean Bris- ,onstan- di 1 Brain. —,front 4 ~Villiaut pi s, front 23 de.
