LONDON JOUiiNALS. FROM THE MORNING lx,r)p - ,Ls OF THIS nAY. [New Times 3 ”ISTCII.I3..INCES IN SCOTLAND. (Extract of a Private Letter.) " GLAcc;Ovv, Ar[cu. 8, 1820.—The sittration of th:s ci , y and the surrounding country. has for the last eight days been most perilous and alarming. Amidst the various accounts which you will see in the public papers, you will not be able to trace the teal extent of the dan-ger. It is a most appalling fact, that the whole manufactitring, mechanical, sod 141911 Ting population of a par of the country, fitly sq•tare miles iu extent, a ,l con'atoing the densest popnlation in t hi s K'tigtlorn. lett their work la :t Nioutlay, (or the poi pose of open trbellion, arid iu obedience to a treasonable address published la•t Sunday.— Sow e these might be tntimtdated. hut the mass were er Wing and re.adv, wale anal female, (or the lisost desperate designs, Din dig Monday,. Tues day, and Wettro.srlay, their confi.fence was un. bounded and openly vxpressed. The tot totn.ding altar, ice was traversed by great 134:•ds ( )f armed to-it l o evert ; direction, cart yiit2, alai to 141.11 the most a sfol nit , dot amongst the mode inn of the coun try' and small vill.ges. The manufacture and pre para!ioir of arms was °poi, ntedisgwsed, and inces sant night sad da ) ; and Wednesday evening Ls: vv,s !be night appointed fur a general attack upon this city and the militat y in it. The formidable pie• par atioits,bo icev. r.ni,ole to r.ceive t liem i t he energy and rapidity with which these werecalled forth—but mote than rill, the unsatisfactory accounts which the Radirals had of their friends in England, ' where no rising h.ol taken place as was calculated upon, cooled a great netr.ber, and upon muster ing their tot ccs in different stations toilful this city, the numbers were found so small in compa rison to the numbers calculated upon, that the intended attack was abandoned, The chief in stigators from that time dispersed, and arms were tnttod thrown away in all di:v.6(ms. During Nilreduesday rti t ht, this city was absolutely like a place hesieg,d by a powerful enemy Ili expectation of a genet al and concentrated attals, the military were kept together. The force, Regulars BA Yeomanry, was very con sitierab:e, and animated with the most determined spirit. The issue of any contest must have been to the Radicals most rit.astrotts. A etmeral ?'arch for arms was made ye,tet day. In the stihntbs of this ci'y most of these had been thrown ast ay and carried off, so that kw compatatively could be found. In the eeiglabf , uring villages more tvere got. Very consi 'erable quantities of hall cartridges have been tomtit,- and a considerable number of fir, -arms. Many of the cartridges weredoulde shott• d, If is said, a chief leadet, a person from E gland, is arrested, with im portant papers and plans. 11:s name, whether real or .assumed, is George Washington. A clue is certainly to unravel the whole and hting 'be guilty to punishment; Fol lowed up with enet gy, as we hope it will bs, it vnil at l ast restore peace and q u ietness to a dis tracted country, and disclose a scene of danger, which, while it convinces, must artpal the most incredulous amongst us. Too quirt) praise cannot be given to all the military. The insolence of the .Radical multitudes was of the most flagrant and insufferable kind, and in many imstances deserved the severest chastisement. Much, however, re mains to be done, the Radicals are disconcerted, bat not turard aside flour their designs. But we may hope by energy to get at its roots—roots strong, deep, and wide." [Morning Chronicle] There has been a report for two days in the City that the CUANCELLOR of the EI:CHEQUER, instead of meeting the /apidated state of our finances with an ef f ectual measure of retrenchment, means to propose a Property Fax of six per ient. for the srst year, of fire per cent. for the second, of fcur for the third, and so on till the deficiency shall be made good; the tar to affect only real property, and to affect no income from real property under 4.501. a year. A tax of this kind, even if granted, would be inefficient, fur it would not pro duce three millions per annum, even if it did not diminish th• taxes on consumption, and, therefore, it is to be considered as the mere nest egg, from which a new brood of taxes on property is to be hatched. We hare learned from severe ex perience how artfully and gradually Ministers proceed from little to great, when once they delude Pat liament by sacred professions to trust them. The new House of Commons, we trust, will not be prevailed on like their predecessors, bat will insist on retrenchment as a prelude to every new demand of money, notice is correctly repwitrd. It is ailliposed Ihat the iilCCOili pliccS Will state, that such an address as is referred to in the notice was prepared and in the possession of some of the de fcmh,nts and as the prosecutors would not, according to du; vales of evidence, he a!lowed to give verbal testimony of the contents of the address without previously giving no tice to the defendants to produce the original, the Crown Solicitor has served them all with notice. [Mor►ting Herald] ROYAL BARRACKS AT CHARING-CROSS. We have already stated, that part of the King's Mews were about to he fitted up as a temporary Barracks for the reception of Troops during the ensuing Trials for High Treason. We hare since learned that it is to be a permanent military quarter. Hitherto there has been no depot of troops iii the initnediate vicinity ut any of the Royal Palaces of the Metropolis ; and it has been deemed expedient to supply this deficiency by converting great part of the Royal Mews at Uharing-cross into a Barrack for the accommoda tion of a body of the Life Guards, or such other troops as may at any time be in immediate attendance upon the Royal Person ; and henceforward a Military. force will be stationed there permanently. The buildings which have been, in the first instance, appropriated to this purpose, under the in- spection .of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, are those which form the eastern side of the area, from the hack of the bottling-house at Cockspur-street gate, up to the state stables, built by GEoaGE the Second; and extend ing in depth nearly to St. Martin's -lane. In furtherance of this appropriation, Generals istssistsas and GWVNINIC, Flom ries to his late Majesty, who still occupy stables in this range of building, have received notice to quit; as have also. the proprietors of the Colossal casts in the old Riding house. The strictest economy has been attended to in this arrangement. Since the dronse of their late Majesties, a very,. large portion of this extensive Mews has been altoge ther useless; express orders hart been given to fit them up in the cheapest manner possible, without taking down any part of them ; and the expences of quartering the troops will he materially diminished.—lt is not true, as stated in some' of the Papers yesterday morning, that the Military had already arrived there.

[Morning Post ] We are now enabled to state the progress of the late Gene ral Election up to last Saturday evening. The proportion between the Lis and Outs runs very clue,-, being, as far as could be made up to the above period, 13t new Members re turned, and tan old ones, either retired or not returned. The general result is, that about one-sixth, and not more, of the late Parliament, has been changed, and, upon the most accurate calculation that can be made, Ministers have gffli,„r e i Irons eighteen to twenty, instead of losing fifteen, as pre dicted by the Party Chronicle. [The Times.] • CATO-STIt EET CONSPIRATORS. The Police Reporter whose account ae published yesterday was premature in stating that the Counsel named were re tained ; they have at present only been mentioned by the friends of the prisoners as gentlemen they would wish to bare to defend them. He is likewise incorrect in stating that Mr. HAnwa visited the prisx;,rs in the Tower on Monday. He saw on Monday some of those in the House of Correction, and yesterday morning went to the Tower to see the seven there courined ; but the Lieutenant not having received any instructions from the Clerk of the Council .or Secretary of State. ile.;lined obeying the mandate of the Lord Chief Justice AraaoTr, and Sr. HAHMER was not ailowed to see them until he commuoicat'ed with the Home Secretary As soon, how ever, as his application was made known at the Secretary of State's °dice, Mt. Honnouss sent directions for him to be perniittsd to visit the prisoners, and yesterday afternoon and .L.ver“:lg he sac then: all .11 their separate apartwents.—'ftie 'We received this morning the Yar:is 'Papers of Sunday last. In the Chamber of DepUties, on Saturday, after hearing a Report on Petitions, the discussion was r esume d on t h e 'P ro j et re specting the financial Accounts, and W as aga i n adjourned till Monday. They contain no fur— ther news from Spain. The following are extracts : ‘‘ PARIS, APRIL 9.—Yester4lay the King gave a private audience to the Minister of the Grand, Duke of Baden His Majesty also transacted bu siness Kids the Duke de Richelieu and with Mar shal Macdonald, Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour. The King will not hold any Court this day. " The number of persons confined in 'the dif ferent prisons of Paris, Civil and Military, was, on the 4th inst., 4,8G2 ; the !oral in January last was 4,591. " Letters from . Aix-la-Chapelle, the authenti city of which we can guarantee, confirm to us not only that there is no cptestion as to any as- AcrubliNg of Troops,' or any Army of Observation, but that on the contrary, a great number of fur loughs have been granted.—(Journal de Paris.) " General O'Donoju on taking the command of the Army of Andalusia, issued a Proclamation, calling upon the troops to maintain discipline and subordination, and to become united its senti ment and feeling. " Events in Spain take a turn more and more serious. The King's brothers have been obliged to take the title of Citizen. ;Several pro vinces still refuse to recognize the new Con stitution. The finances are in the most de plorable state. The Government lids ob tained some motley by confiscating the property of some Members of the Itruisition ; but this resource is precarious, and the penury of the Treasury will render necessary general measures, of which it is impossible to foresee the results,— (Gazelle de France ) " 'The Bil)liot,;:eglic Hisiorigue has ceased to be published. rIVE PER CENTS Sat ur 71 f. c. DEFERRED SrocK. Of the 22d Marrb IBn, B3 f, —c." This inor,,in g we [rceived le , ters from Bom bay, d a t e d A b e 7th 01 November. They speak with coufidetice of the result of the Expeditioi, against the Pirates, and that every prei,aration was making there for a further reinforcement to he sent. The Orion, which had just arrived, was immediately put into requisition, to proceed up the Persian Guiph. The expedition which had sailed consisted of about twenty ships, and they were determined to punish the Pirates for their depredations, and afterwards make them pay ho tnage to the Company. The cholera morbus still raged in Bombay and its vicinity, which had caused great devastation among the Natives, and some of the European troops had suffered considerably. A severe gale had been experienced at Madras on the 2lst.,in which several ships had been driven from their moorings, and others on shore, but no lives had been lost. The Native Chiefs up the Guiph appeared much discontented and were as sembling troops in all directions. THE FUNDS. —This is settling day for the Ac count ; but so little business has been done, and the fluctuation so trifling during the whole ac count, that the day passes over the same as usual. Consols for Money are 68n, with scarcely any business doing —tor May 69i. Up to twelve o'clock no defaulter was declared, and from the trifling differences to settle none are expected. The Proceedings at the Chester Assizes, of which we have given an ample report this day, are of so important a nature, in the present situa tion of the Country, that they will be read with a strong interest by the People in general. The Trial of sir C. IVOLSELEY, and HARRISON, the Parson, which commenced on Monday, was not concluded at a late hour that day, and it Kral thought likely to last lunch longer.—The Counsel for Sir C. WOLSELEY is Mr. PEARSON. FI ARRisoN defends himself, and was speaking when the Express come off.—The Sentence of Death was on the same day passed on 111'1 rusts and Baticß. The case of the latter was much more favourable than that of the former, who boldly avowed and seemed to glory in his guilt, and if mercy can properly be extended to Lim, he will no doubt receive it. IThe rebellions Proceedings in Scotland, which have now been so happily, we trust, suppressed,. and which must have excited anxiety in every well disposed loyal subject throughout the Country, are treated by The Morning Chronicle and The Old Times with the same coarse ribaldry, the same pretended doubts of the extent of the danger, and are made the same source of abuse on Government as those malignant Papers have displayed on the rebellious Meeting at Manchester in August last. Wehave availed ourselves of a Letter from Glas gow which appears this day in the New Times, which all good men will rejoice to hear is said to be . " pushing from its stool " the Old Times. This Letter fully confirms all the accounts which we have received from the same quarter. The poor shallow Politicians of the Morning Chronicle and the Old Times are only capable of judging from events ; and because the danger, as we have reason to believe, is now over, they seem to think that there was no danger at all, or at least none equal to the alarm which it excited. But, sup. posing that a simultaneous rising had taken place in several quarters, who can tell what the ti result might have been ? Universal conster nation—the National Force.must have been em ployed in various directions, and in the general confusion new bands of rebels might have corne forward, and the ultimate issue might have been fatal to Government. We style the Morning Chro nicle and Old Times shalloW Politicians, because they have not discernment enough to see that they would be overwhelmed in the mass of gene ral ruin. Not that their mischievous qualities are not upon a level with their weakness, but they seem . to think that if Radicalism were to become ascendant, they would be spared on account of their strenuous and persevering efforts to promote the cause. They might also have vanity enough to suppose, that -in a general insurrection they tnight " Ride in the whirlrind and direct the storm;" but they are poor tame feeble Scribblers, with all their rancour, compared with the Wool.Erts, the HullTs, the COaBCTTS, and the host of Radical Defamers, who have been happily checked by the wisdom of the Legislature. The Letter from the New Times, we can assure our Readers, is we'll founded, and we. feel it to be our duty to give it increased circulation. The Magistrates and Mili tary in the disturbed districts in Scotland, have acted with exemplary forbearance, as well as with all necessary vigilance, firmness, and vigour.— The same commendation is in all respects doe to the Magistrates and Military of Manchester, so basely abused by the Morning Chronicle and Old Times; and the Scotch Magistracy and Military must expect the same abuse in the same degraded Journals. Tire Chronicle of this day says, '' the panic is completely over, aA business is IIuVY 'going on as usual ;" as if the consternation witicb prevailed, attended by a regular attack on IL6 I Military, and the bloodshed which ensued, were a mere panic, and not too well-founded an alara4, If " business is now going on as usual," to Mh ani' is the neighbourhood and the country indebted, but to the active zeal and determined spirit oi hoe Magistrates and Military who will probably be reviled to-morrow in the Chronicle and the Old Times, though the latter is silent this day? we shall watch their movements, and bold (heal up to the indignation of the Public. PROPERTY TAN. ---There is a paragraph among our usual Extracts this day from the LONDON Jowl. NALG, taken from the Morning Chronicle, grounded upon a report, which has often been in circuits , tion, and which was yesterday very prevalent id the City, We shall not notice the shallow reageo• ings and venomous predictions of that Paper 3 but we have no scruple to declare that a PRovsamTsx. duly carried into effect, and operating leoientli upon the inferior ranks of Society, would be bighlf beneficial to the Country, and tend much to the reduction of its burt hens. The People in general louk up with full confidence to the Earl of Limo root., whatever various opinions his colleagues map excite, and we therefore trust that the Noble Lord s with that firmness which he has always manifesto ed in support of right principles and just mead , sures, will bring forward such a Tax, unawo ed by the'clamours of Party, or the objections of Avarice, and he will eventually be rewarded by the gratitude of his Country, the best r e ward that his enlightened and liberal mind can require. Lisnozi, Manca 29.—His Majesty's ship Spar' tan arrived here on the 25th instant from Env land, at,d, it is said, will sail on Monday next for Rio Janeiro, with Lord BEREEPORD. DEAL, APRIL 11. — Arrived, and sailed for the river, the Albinia, LYNN, from Bombay. CORN-EXCHANGE, APRIL 12.—We hare not had any fresh arrivals since Monday, but ti.e quantity of Wheat then utt' sold was very considerable, and for which there was serif little demand this morning, consequently the sales were ex ceedingly heavy, and only a few plaid samples obtairna Monday's prices all other sorts may be considered full 11. per quarter lower.
