FRAN KFO lit, JUNE IK.—the Polish army of 25,000 foot
and 5,000 cavalry, is -now assembling near Warsaw t but this
is what happens every year on the Ist June, U.S. and has no
connection whatever with the events which engage attention.
These traps will besides serve to heighten the splendour of
the ceremony of taking the oath to the Polish Constitution,
which will be very shortly celebrated.

" A letter from Madrid, which we have just read, says, that

establish the Inquisition. '

GLASGOW, JUNE 23.—A very unpleasant busi-
ness occurred on Saturday night ip this neighbourhood. Mr.
Harvey, of this city, aboot two years ago bought the land. Of
Westthorn, betwixt two and three miles up the river. Whether
or not the public have a right of a footpath along the blinks of
the river, has been for some time a'matter of dispute; anctl%P..
Hn aey, being satisfied that there was no such servitude npon his
property, set about defending it in the most stibsiantial manner
possible—the walls across the footway being built of rnaisy stones
batted with iron, and where that terminated in the river there Wks
thevaux-de-frio run out which would not have disgraced arty
fortification in Europe. The people in the neighbourhood, con.
ceiving that this operation was a gross invasion of th ir just rights,
took the advice, it is said, of legal men, who told them that they
were perfectly entitled to throw down the obnoxious works,
and to vindicate their rights without any legal formalitles.-'--
The work of demolition began about eight o'clock, and as the
strength of the works had been calculated. upon, the people set
about blowing them up with gunpowder in a regular engineer-
like manner ; but that not being a sufficiently quick. plan,
they set to work with their pickaxes, and soon ikvelled the
wall, a shot from a gun or pistol accompanying every giiat
, tumble. The ch evon.r.de rise, however, puzzled them a e6n.
siderable time, till they at length thought of ap,plying fire to it,
and even then they oily partially succeeded. .ehe names dins
raised by throwing stakes taken from the adjoining pallogs
upon the outworks, collected additional. erowtly from all 010
neighbourhood, and it is suppoied that the persons assetubied
tunounted to tit loast two thousand, to • the great injurya the.
adjoining propertha. the meantime an cores& hoof been
run to the Sheriff; stating that a tumultuous assemblaoUC
people had been collected by the druml some of whom were
armed, and that they were committing violent outrages ; ufon,
which that Gentlethan repaired to the spot with a party a the
fith dragoons, upon whose approach there were severaliliata
'fired from the crowd, and the soldiers of that corps being Suf.
ficiently skilled in such music, could not well be Mistaken when
they declared they heard the balls whistling past them; While
on the other hand it is asserted that the tire-arms were never with hall, but merely used in the way of amuseinent.
A very great proportion of the crowd finding themselves elositi
in on all hands by the judicious disposition of the military, took
to the river, and fortunately none of them were drowned.
dragoons, although convinced that they had been fired uPort,
acted with the greatest forbearance, and only one man was'in
any way injured by them. Above 40 prisoners were brought
into town, and the affair is now under judicial investigation by
.Mr. Robinson, the Sheriff.
