DISTURBANGES IN GLASGOW.
...48,..

Between Saturday and Sunday morning there
was posted upon the walls of Glasgow, Paisley, and
in all the manufacturing towns and villages for a
dozen 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 English composition, from
its dwelling much upon Magna Charta and the Bill
of 'tights, in which Scotland has no interest. It is
probable, then, that this same Address has been
circulated through the manufacturing, districts of
England ; and the accounts of its etlects there are
looked for with much anxiety by both loyal and
disloyal in this part of the country.
The Magistrates have issued the following

Half_pii,L 12 o'elock—The crowd is increasing in our
streets, tint all COOS iIItICS peaceable.
Two men ale lodged in the police-office for sticking up
the radical addles, on Sunday morning, and two others
are also confined there for tearing doon the Proclamation
of the magistrates out Sunday evening.

The following is a copy of the Address referred to above :
ADDRESS TO IHE INHABITANTS OF GREAT
BRITAIN AND IRELAND.
Friends and Countrymen,—Roused from that torpid
slate in which we have been stunk fur so wavy years, we
are at length compelled, from the extremity of our sof-
triiirs, and the contempt heaped upon one petitions for
redress, to as.ert our rights, at the hazard of our lives;
and pr to t!te world the real motives, which, it' not
nu•tervseuted desioim; men, would have muted all
ianks—have reduced us to tale up al ins for the redress
of our common fp ievances.
The numerous public meetings held tin oust:tont the
country has demonstrated to you, that the interests of all
classes are 00 same. That the protection of the life and
psopert;, of the rich maul i, toe interest of the poor num,
and, in teltiln, it is the lute, est of the rich to protect the
poor from the iron grasp of despotism; tor, when its
victims are exhausted i • the lower circles, there 14 no as-

%mance but that its ravages will be continued in the tip-
per; for, once set in motion, it will continue to move till
a soirees-ion of ricuots fad.
Our principles are few, and founded on the basis of our
Constitiltion, whirl' a ere purchased by the dearest blood
of our ancestors, :mil which we swear to traii,mit 10 pos-
terity or perish in the attempt. Equality of
tights (slot of property) is the object for whiten we con..
tend, and wli eh we consider as the only security tor our

liberties and lives.
Let us show to the world that we are not that lawless,
sanguinary rabble, N hick our oppressors would persuade
the higher circles we are—hut brave and generrms peo-
ple, determined to be free. Liberty or death is our motto,
and we have sworu to returu home in triumph—or to re.

Soldiers,—Shull you, countrymen, bound, by the sacred
obligation of an oath, to defend your country and your ling
from enemies, whether foreign or domestic, plunge your
bayonets into the bosoms of fathers and brothers, mid at
wire sacrifice at the shrine of milit iry despotism, to the
relenting orders of a cruel faction, those feelings which you
hold in corn with the rest of mankind 2—Soldiers! turn
your eyes toward Spain, and there behold the happy effects
resulting from the anion of soldiers and citizens. Look to
that quarter, and there behold the yoke of hated despotism,
broke by the unanimous wish of the people and the soldiery,
happily accomplished wituout bloodshed. And shall you,

warding of air object so universally wished, arid so absolutely
necessary. Come forward, then, and assist those who have
begun in the completion of so arduous u task, rind support
the laudable efforts sshich we are about to make to restore
to Britons those rights consecrated to them by magna Charta
nod the Bill of Rights, and sweep from our shores the cur-
ruiniun which has degraded us below the dignity of mum
Owing to the misrepresentations which have gone abroad
with regard to our intentions, we think it indispensably De.
I cessary to declare inviolable all public arid private property.
And we hereby call upon all Justices of the Peace, and all
others, to suppress pillage and plunder of every description ;
and to endeavour to secure those guilty of such (silences, that
they may receive that punishment which such vtoiations of
justice demand.
In the present state of affairs, and during the continuation
of so 11111 l nentous a struggle, we earnestly request of all to
desist from their labour, from and after this day, the Ist of
April; and attend a holly to the recovery of their rights,
arid consider it as the duty of every man nut to recommence
until he is in possession of those rights which distinguish the
freeman from the slave, viz., that of giving consent to the
laws by which lie is to be governed. We, therefore, reeoll3-
mend to the proprietors of public works, old .all oilier., to
stop the one, and shot up the other, until order is restored,

ustained, arid which, alter this public bitimation, they can

And we hereby give notice to all those who shall be found

A Proclamation, offering three hundred ponds
reward for the discovery of the author, printer, and

magistrates, &c. of Glasgow.
OLAS.6OIV, APRIL 3.
Many corps have been observed drilling in this
neit;libourhood for Slone nights past, and even during
the day. In some places strangers have taken pos-
session of smiths' shops, who immediately fell to
work in manufacturing pikes, &c.
The times arc perilous in the extreme. We do not
oxagger.ite when we say there ari., at this moment,
60,000 persons in this city and the stirrutinaini:
towns and villages, who have struck work ; many of
these, not a doubt remains, have been compelled to
join this ilighly illegal combination by threats; such
an immense Ludy cannot, however, long remain
inactive. if strong measures be not instantly
resorted to, it is impossible to say when and where
the mischief will end.
All iron foundry was last night broken into, in
the Gallowgate, and a number of files, &c. carried
off. If lire-arms were their object, they were for-
tunately disappointed, as these had previously been
budged in a place of safety.

Iv

The streets are crowded, and some audacious in-
sults have been offered to the Yeomanry of the
adjoining counties.
Last night, about twelve o'clock, nearly thirty
Radicals %volt out from Paisley to Lounsdale, a mile
south-west from the town, and demanded whatever
fire-arms might be in the house. On being told
there were no arms in it, they said they would
go next to Foxbar, a little to the westward. The
proprietor of Lounsdalc told them, that if they did
they would meet with a determined resistance,
which they found to be the case, as the proprietor,
after vainly giving them warning to retire, fired
upon them, by which a young man, of the name of
Cochran, was killed, and, it is supposed, several
others were wounded, as blood was traced to some
distance from the house. The body was lying at
Foxbar this morning, the party having retired after
the first fire, without carrying off the body.

CHAIRING OF
MR. SIR
FRANCIS
E. BURDETT AND

Thursday being the day appointed for Chairing the
Representatives recently returned members for the City
of ‘Vestminster in Parliament, preparation vsas made
at an early boor to give effect to a ceremony which many
considered the triumph of independence. The litre
marked out for the procession was from Sloane Street to
the Crown and Anchor, in the Strand. and within that
range all business seemed to be suspended. Tire shops
were shut, and in general, arrangements were made to
accommodate friends with places at the windows to see
the procession. Purple streamers and laurel decorated
many of the houses ; and soon after two o'clock the
streets were crowded with spectators, whilst carts, cam-
Vans and coaches, drew tip on each side the way, the
purpose of making money. The ['oldie were accom-
modated in those vehicles at the rate of a shilling or
sixpence a head.
At half-past eleven the bands and banners of the dif-
ferent parties arrived and took their stations. Barou-
ches and horsemen arrived, decorated with blue and
white ribands The riders and drivers wore a blue
cockade with white rosettes in the middle.
The car was superior in taste to any thing of the sort
used on former occasions. The triumphal seat was
elevated ten feet at least from the body of the vehicle,
and the ascnt to it was by steps. The whole was
covered by dark blue cloth, and ornamented with gold.
On the back of the car apeared, in gold letters—
" Triumph of Reform." The sides were tastefully
adorned with scrolls of burnished gold, commencing at
top, and twisting to increased breadth at the bottom.—
lt was hung with drapery, intermixed with the favours
of Burdett and Hobhouse. Six grey horses were har-
nessed to the car. The postillions wore blue and white
silk jackets, with caps of the same.
About two o'clock, the procession being formed in
Sloane Street, Sir F. Burdett, and John Cam Hobhouse,
Esq. made their appearance amidst loud shouts of
applause
The procession moved down Piccadilly, the Hay-
market, along Cockspor Street, and up St. Martin's
Lane, to Long Acre and Covent Garden. About half-
past three o'clock a shower, which had been some time
expected, cause down so smartly, that few remained dry.
Sir F. Burdett and Mr. Hobhouse, in their elevated
situation, were really pitied by the spectators. They
could not: have a
cart thread on them. Au umbrella was
put upon the but neither would use it. On their
arrival opposite the church in Covent Garden, the bands
of music played " Hearts of Oak," and " The Con-
quering Hero." The procession went down Sonthamp-
ton Street to the Strand, anti thence to the Crown and
Anchor Tavern, where the members and their friends
arrived at four o'clock. Tory were saluted by loud and
repeated cheering from the populace collected round St.
Clement's Church.

THE DINNER.
After the Chairing, there was a dinner at the Crown
and Anchor Ta‘erti, Strand, in the Grand Room of '
that house.
By six o'clock, the dinner was placed on the table;
and immediately acterwtod, the Members, Sir 'Francis
Burdett and .1. C. 1 lolii.ouse, Esq. entered the rootu,
amidst Boulders of applause.
Mr. Ilituildthwaite wok the Chair ; Sir F. Burdett on
his right, and Mr. Hobbouse on his left hand.
The cloth havitig been removed, the Chairman gave
the first toast—" The People, the only Source of Legi-
timate Power." (Great applause.) The music played
" Rule Britannia "
The nest toast was " The King. and the Principles
which seated his Family on the Throne." Three tutors
three. Tune, " Hearts of Oak."
'l' he Chairman then gave, feeling that it required no
Comment. " The persectned but fearless and undaunt-
ed Advocate of the People's Rights, their worthy Re-
presentative, Sir F. Burdett." (Immense applause.)
Sir F. Burdett then arose, amidst loud and continued
lie said that it was the first wish of his heart
to mutt the approbation of the enlightened Electors of
Westminster ; and he could not but feel grateful for the
various ways in which it had been shown florin; the
day. It was an honourable wish to desire the appro.
bacon of one's fellow-ciiizens. Man) events ltd hap-
pened WWe the period when he last saw them, of the
greatest importance,. especially since lie had been ho-
noured with the notice of the Administration by no
ex officio information; but hail he not written that let-
ter—a proceeding which he had never regretted—he
thought he should not have merited the colitiderce of
the Electors of Wes aaaa t nter. As to the trial at Leices-
ter, he lamenttil that such imperfect repents had pone
before the public; but he could account for them, as
the reports were necessarily couiptessed. Otte income-
