" Greenock, oth A p: 18d.O. ▪ You will no doubt this morning have heard of the unfortu eere outrage in this town yesterday afternoon and last night, and that too, perhaps, notch exaggerated. I therefore write this to give you the particulars as Correctly as I can collect. Yesterday, wlaen the mop coeeh came in, the guard reported that sixteen Radicals were to he met here from Paisley, ender an escort of the Port-Glasgow Volunteers, •to be lodged in our jail, and that they would probably arrive about four to five o'clock. There bilng no armed :ores in town, and knowing tire dis7,9:...ted dips :.k of many of the lower orders, and a great many persons ap pealing in the streets, nprarestly strangers, caused an aparthen (ion amongst many of us that there might be some disturbance, should the prisoners come. The Magistrates were applied to o • the sebject, wha replied that it could not be true ; otherwise :y would have intimation from the Authotides in Paisley to previdst accommodation for them, aad be prepared to receive them : that noi bog the c este they did not believe the account, especially as at different times of late they had the same rumours, high turned ea; to he unfounded. They therefore thought no arere about the matter, and all went home to dinner at the usual hour of four o'clock. • Before five o'clock the Fort-Glasgow Volunteers entered the town with drums and fifes, escorting a cart with five Radi o is in it, who were immediately lodged in jail. The sound of the drums and fifes materally drew together a large concourse of people in the streets. Mr. Dennis:on, vex of the Magistrates. hapeeoed by chance to come to the square, seed went to the when some persons Csaid to he strangers; threw tome stones at the Volunteers, wLe fired two shots in the sir -.with ieteetion of intimidation; this, hcwever, had the conteary effect ; and on Mr. Hermiston remonstrating with the crowd, he was hustled, and with difficulty rescued from amongst them. The Volun• terra then marched off, and get the length ef the Rue-end, v. ':en the mob began pelting them with stcnes, by which several were severely cut. roue assailed, a file cf them faced round and bred Amongst the crowd, when several people felt. This, indeed of repelling the multitude, exasperated them more. a' They continued attacking the Volunteers, and the Volune rates continued is in their own defence, till they got through C.ortsslyke, by which firing and resistance a number of people *were killed and wounded. By this time, the Justices of the Peace and others of the respectable inheltitants came to the spot, and used every means to appease the fury of the mob, and they became quiet for a little. The Special Constablet, the only de fence we have in the place, were ordered to assemble at seven o'clock; but the people getting from their works, and infuriated with the accounts of so many people killed and wounded, as sambled in a large body, and began an attack on the jail. The Magistrates and Justices of the Peace get into the yard and de fended it as long as they could, but it getting very dark, and essailed with flower,: of stones, they were obliged to retire, and the mob succeeded in breaking open the jail, and rescued the Ave liatlicala, but not any of the other prisoners. They then di:versed, and by eleven o'clock the town was perfectly quiet. ' 4 As far as can be ascertained, there are nine people dead, and fifteen wounded, several of whom cannot recover. About six o'clock an express was sent to Paisley and Glasgow for some Military, and by one &does this morning, a troop of Hussars arrived, and about nine o'cleck, some Riflemen and other sol diers, by steam-boats from Glasgow; but since last night, the sown is as quiet as usual, and I hope will continue so. No blame whatever is attachable to our Magistrates, who did everything in Meir power to preserve the perm For a considerable time the alarm was great, fearing they might attack private property ; but no such thing was attempted, not even a pane of glass broke, ass was any insult offered to any of the inhabitants." ANOTHER LETTER. " Greenock, April 9th, 1820. On account of the crowded state of Paisley Jell, in conse wiser of the numerous apprehensions occadontd by the recent O.uurbeaces there, it was considered proper to send dawn five al the prisoners to Greenock, aro: yesterday afternoon they attired here, escorted by the Port-Glasgow Volunteers, and Tore safely lodged in prison, immediately after which the escort treoarcd to return homewards. A considerable crowd had sc . terl to witness the arrival of the prisoners, but no disposi ii. e was shewn to annoy the Militery in the execution of their toy till they were about to return, when some stones were • .ere e thrown among them; this annoyance rather increased t::e Vcluntter, repassed through the town, and after turning the corner of Caohcart-street, the latter fired some of their leces in order to intimidate the assailants, when two persons oeze wounded. It appears that, instead of diminishing, the attacks of the eeceol were thereby increased, till at length a sort of rur.ll:l%; • ensued, which unfortunately continued until the Velen. were almost clear of the suburbs of the town. I.: the en ter three persons were killed on the spot, and upwards of •eri badly wounded, of wham six have since died in the sonny, whither nearly, the whole of the wounded had teen under the directions of the medical Gentlemen of the who came most promptly to the spot, and were unremit active in renderitig their profes.aionel assistance. Many of :alueteers were materially hurt in the affray. in the evening a crowd again collested at the square, there being ro military stationed here tb restrain them, on by a norther of know.: who were strangers to Ike cornmenc d an attack on the miter gate of the prison, they broke o.cn, in spite of the earliest remonstrances Magistrates, and many of the most respectable inhabit er dads' f om t4ur t nla*ful enterprise, They then pro ,: to force the Meer door of the jail; in Which they were I y st. co o if .1, an.: I berated the - five men brought down Paisley, who immediately escaped.

It may not be superfluous to stre, that the c-tard, in as= sailing the mil.tary, were most ptobably excited by the random impulses of the moment. Nothing of the kind was anticipated , previous to the arrival of the latter." Tn folios; ing are extracts from letters received in Edinburgh: Greenock, April 9. " A Melancholy and unfortunate business occurred here yes terday afternoon. It became generally known that some pri soners from Paisley were shortly to arrive, escorted by the Port- Glasgow Volunteers, for the purpose of being lodged in the jail, and a considerable ciowd collected. In a short time five pri soners were brought in, and safely delivered up by the escort, which immediately prepared to return homeward. Some dis pw,ition then ;hewed itseli front the crowd to mclest the troops with stones, which increased as the latter repassed throqh Greenock, till at Lngth they were compelled tO fire wane shots among the people to intimidate them, and although some of these took effect, they failed in repressing the mob, who continued their offensive attacks, so that a sort of running skirmish envoi, and before the Volunteers had got clear of the suburbs; three men were shot deed on the spot, and several were badly wounded, of whom I belitve three died in a short time. The wounded were immediately attended by the Medical Gentlemen, and meat of them comeyed to the Infirmary. " • I understand many of the Volunteers received severe coit_ tusions in this affray. The mob did not pursue them be s yond the suburbs, but dispersed about the town ; an assemblage, however, in the evening collected at the prison, and there being ro n - Alitary, pruceetlttl to put their threats of breaking the jail in execution, is order to liberate the men confined. The Magis_. trates and some of the principal men of the town reasoned with them on the impropriety of their conduct, but in• vain. The crowd broke through the outer gate, and commenced battering the inner doors of the prison, so that, when on the point of givieg way, the jailor, to prevent greater mischief, gave up the Eve prisoners brought front Paisley, who immediately escaped in different directions. No further tumult occurred; the mob zradually retired, and by ten O'clock the stmets were again quiet. Early this morning a party of military arrived from Clasgow, who remain ; the town continues since undisturbed. It is ne cessary to add, that this unfortunate affair was the work of the moment. The lower orders have hitherto held the most peace able demeanour, and have no politic:l societies amongst them ; nothing, therefore, could have been more unexpected or unpre pared fur; and to this is chiefly to be ar_ributed the melan choly results." FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT. 0 We have had considerable alarm in this place, which you will, no doubt,- have Ken in the public prints are this comes to hand, which leaves me no occasion to detail at length. A great many have been wow:tied. nine of which have since died of their wounds. From Saturday, at three o'clock, the streets have been crowded. Several children have suffered ir: the fray, which will long be semembertd.” _ _ " Glasgow, April 9. " The people in this part of the country were led to beli,:ve. :a consequence of the defeat of the Radicals at Bone ymuir, and the shortcoming of untnburs at the Radical muster, that the com motion.' were at au end. lam sorry that this conclusion was net correct. An event took place at Greenock, yesterday after econ, which is certainly matter of great regret. It is lament able, not only on account of the spirit shewn by the lower orders, but of the blood spilt by the military. The following &restated to be the 'acts, though no one can expect all he hears, in such times, to be true; but I believe I am near the truth, when I say that the following statement is essentially correct :—A party Of the Port-Glasgow Volunteer Riflemen were escorting a number of prisoners, said to be five, on a cart, from Paisley to Greenock, v.hen they were insulted by a crowd of boys, who at length. when countenanced by persons of snore advanced years, went so far as to pelt the military with stones. ' " The party succeeded in placing their prisoners in Greenock Eridewell, but the crowd becoming very large and audacious, it was found necessary to have recourse to their fire-arms. Seve ral shots were tired, to skew the determination of the military. So fat from this having the desired effect, their forbearance only stimulated the crowd to farther outrage, and, shocking to tell, the military were compelled to fire. The result was fatal to se veral of them. It is stated that about six were killed on the spot, as many more mortally wounded, and about double that num ber, or even more, slightly wounded. The military were by this means enabled to reach their homes; but it is said that the rioters, rallying afterwards, went to the Bridewell, and rescued the prisoners. In the course of the night expresses reached Paisley and Glasgow; from the former both horse and foot were forthwith dispatched, and from the latter they were sent off in two steam-boats. One of the Port-Glasgow Riflemen had fiis ear cut away by a stone thrown at him during the affray. GLASGOW. " Sunday Evening, Six o'Cloek. " Glasgow remains quiet, although apprehensions are still entertained that the Radicals will rally, and give us more disturbance. " Many arrests took place yesterday, in Calton and Bridgeton, and some arms were found ; and just now a party is returned from Garscube, having a parcel of prisoners under escort. " We are again in consternation on account of the Greenock affair—(after describing this, our Corres pondent adds)--many of the people most active in this mob are said to have followed the prisoners all the way from Paisley. A party of military are ordered on duty at seven this evening,:which would countenance the report of more commotions being apprehended, but I hope it is oilly to arrest more of these deluded beings." FROM A CORRESPONDENT AT FALKIRK, DATED APRIL 10. " Friday, two person were apprehended at the village of Ca turioniand lodged in Stirling Castle, by a party of the Stirling shire Yeomanry. The names of the prisoners are Wright and both milers by trade ; and are accused of making pikes. Same evening, a fleeting of the loyal and respectable inhabitants of this place was held at the .Assembly Rooms, in order to concert measures for forming an Armed Association for the protection of the peace, in case of the military being called off, which is to be immediately carried into effect. Yes terday, four more of the Cameion nailors were taken into cus tody, by the Falkirk Yeonianry, and lodged in Stirling Castle ; their names are Wright, Butt, Green, anckM'llory ; also accused of nuking pikes.

The Kitc gioes, eiety day, most Unequivocal proofs of his sincere attachment to the new order of, things. The following Decree has been published. It is rigorous, perhaps, but eircamstAnces do not admit of tergiversation : " The Constitution of the Monarchy, to which I have sworn; is the fundamental lag.- which fixes the duties of all Spaniards towards the Throne and the Nation, as also their respective rights. Those who refuse to acknowledge this fundamental law ipso facto renounce its protection, all the advantages of the asso ciation, even that of living on the common territory. There fore, and in conformity with the Decree of the Cones, Gene ral and Extraordinary, of the seventeenth of August, 1312,. and in concurrence with the Provisional Junta, I declare, that every Spaniard who refuses •to take the cat!' to the 'political Constitution of the Monarchy, or who, in taking the oath, shall qualify it by any protestations, reserves, or restrictive observations, contrary to the spirit of the said Constitution, is unworthy the character of a Spaniard; that he is, ipso facto, de prived often honours, employments, and prerogatives, flowing from the Civil Power, and that he is liable even to be banished from the territory ; if he is an Ecclesiastic, he shall, besides, be defrivcd of his revenues in that capacity. " The Political Chiefs and other Constituted Authorities are charged with the execution of the present Decree, and with en forcing the penalties of.which it makes mention.

The following is an abstract of a letter received from her Majesty the QUEEN of ENGLAND, dated Rome, the 16th of March, containing a statement of grievances, experienced during her residence on the Continent " During my residence at Milan, in consequence of the infa mous behaviour of Mr. Ompteda (he having bribed my servants to become the traducers of my character), one of my English Gentlemen challenged him; the Austrian Government sent off Mr. Ompteda. I wrote myself to the Emperor of Austria, re questing his protection against spies, who. employed persons to introduce themselves into my house, and particelarty into my kitchen, to poison the dishes prepared for my table. I never re ceived any answer to this letter. After this I was obliged to go into Germany, to visit my relatives the Margravine of Baden, and the Margravine of Bareuth ' • the shortest road for my return to Italy was through Vienna, and I took that road, with the flatter ing hope that the Emperor would protect me ; arrived at Vienna, I demanded public satisfaction for the public insult I had expert= eneed in Lombardy; this was refused me, and a new insult was offered. The Emperor refused to meet me, or to accept my visit. " Lord Stewart, the English Ambassador, having received a letter from me, informing him of my intention of returning by Vienna, and of taking possession of his house there (as it is the custom of Foreign Ambassadors to receive their Princesses into their houses, when travelling), absolutely refused me his house, left the town, and retired into the country. Lord Stewart af terwards wrote a very impertinent letter to me, which is now in Mr. Canning's hands, as I sent it to England. Finding the Austrian Government so much influenced by the English Mi nisters, I sold my villa on the Lake of Como, and settled my self quietly in the Roman estates. I there met with great civi lity for some . time, and protection against the spy, Mr. Omp teda, but from the mument I became Queen of England, all ci vility ceased. " Cardinal Gonsalvi has been much influenced since that period by ;he Baron de Rydan, the Hanoverian Minister, who succeeded Mr. Ompteda, deceased. The Baron de Rydan has taken an oath never to acknowledge me as Queen of England, and persuades every person to call me Caroline of Brunswick. A guard has been refused me as Queen, which was granted to me as Princess of Wales, because no communication has been received from the British Government, announcing me as Queen. My messenger was refused a passport for England. I also ex periented much insult from the Court of Turin. " Last year, in the month of September (I was then travelling incognito, under the name of the Countess Oldi), I went to the confines of the Austrian estates, to the first small town belong ing to the King of Sardinia, on my way to meet Mr. Brougham, at Lyons, as the direct road lay through Turin; I wrote my self to the Queen of Sardinia, informing her that I could not re main at Turin, being anxious to reach Lyons as soon as possi ble, and also that I was travelling incognito; I received no an swer to this letter. The Post-master at Bronio, the small post town near the country villa where I then resided, absolutely re fused me post horses; in consequence of this refusal, I wrote to l e Mr. Mill, the English Minister at Turin demanding immediate Vatisfaetion, and the reason for such an brittle Mr. Hill ex cused himself upon the plea of its being a misunderstanding, and told me that post horses would be in readiness whenever I should require them. I accordingly set out, and arranged to go through the town of Turin at night, and only to stop to change horses, but I received positive orders not to go through the town, but to proceed by a very circuitous road, which obliged me to travel almost the whole night, in very dangerous roads, and prevented me from reaching the post-town (where I should have passed the night) till five in the morning, when by going through Turin, I migbt have reached it by ten at night. " Finding so much difficulty attending my travelling, I thought the most proper mode for me to pursue, would be to acquaint the high personages of my intention of passing the win ter at Lyons, or in the neighbourhocd of Lyons, previous to my intended return to England in the spring. I aeciressted a letter to the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, informing him of. my intentions, and also that I wished to preserve the strictest incognito ; no notice was taken of this letter ; and one ad. dressed to the Prefect of Lyons, met with like contempt; in fact, from the 7th of October to the C6th of January, the day I embarked from Toulon for Leghorn, I received so much insult from the Governor and Prefect , that I a'most considered my life in danger, unprotected as I then was, in such a country; another motive induced me to leave it—Mr. Brougham could not fix the period for meeting me anywhere in France. " I have written to Lord Liverpool and Lord Castlereagh, demanding to have my name inserted in the Liturgy of the Church of England ; and that orders be given to all British Am-' bassadors, Ministers, and Consuls, that I should be received and acknowledged as the Queen of Englapde and after the speech made by Lord Castlereagh in the House of Comment, in answer to Mr. Brougham, I dcs not expect to experience further insult s I have also demanded that a Palace may be prepared for my reception. England is my real home, to which I shall immedi ately fly. I have dismissed my Italian Court, retaining only a sufficient number of persons to conduct me to England; and if Buckingham House, Marlborough House, or any other Palace is refused me, I shall take a house in the country till my friends can find a Palace far me in London. I have sent a Messenger to England to make the proper arrangements for that purpose," s e a 1 • c Um NI lor.nte; tystce bl7ll ler:7il, 1 LA Ye " L ari!. tt urril trcru, et thr 'Was, ti tea:4l tcpal: ton, U AR4l;'.
