ALIIIMING INTELLIGENCE FROM GLASGOW.

The iatelligence received yesterday from Ghia-
get.. and Paisley is of a most alarming Nod paitifid
titiciiiitiun, such indeed as threatens that part of
tit, empire with the immediate horrors of an insur.
te.!tin. lu the course of Saturday night and Surto
(Ivy nioriong, an " Address to the People of Eur
lr,land, and Scotland," was popted upon the
in Glasgow and Pai.ley, and in all the maim-
facturitig, towns and villages for a dozen miles
-round. This Address calls upon the people to
come forward instantly, and " to effect, by force.
11 reeit.ted, a revolution in the Guyer:meat." It
lic.4 no signature, but profes.es to he sulociihrd
" by order of the Committee of OrganizaCoa for
forming a Provisional Government." It is dated
11,pril I.

'this Address is nothing !limn of an actual tie.
,chiratitsts of war against the Government and as
ouch it aas very naturally regarded by the Magi:.
I:ates of 'Glasgow in a Proclamation which they I
issued on Sunday. They described it as " a direct
decloration of immediately intended hostility to '1
the Government and Constitution of this coun-
try." They speak also of its " treasonable ob-
jects," and warn the people, " that all measures, in
prosecution of such objects, will he regarded as nil
Tusurrection against the Goveruntent, and be in-
'tautly put down by the most prompt MILITARY
ExEcuTtoa." They further speak of information
which they had received, of " the intention of those
who issued the aforesaid Address to bring in bodies
of mien from the country in furtherance of their
Traitorous purposes." The language of this Pro-
clsittssiiessa is, indeed, of a must alar aaa it sg character.
We t'all drily fervently hope, that the firm attitude
assumed by the civil and military authorities will
have the .1-1-ct of itistnsirlatissg 'lie tit luJed inn's, from

that the night would not pwis over tranquilly.
