so much attention to the misrepresentations of
the Chronicle; but they are so bold, and relate
to a matter of so much interest; that to leave
them unrefuted would be a neglect of our duty
to the public.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
, It certainly appears as if there was an inten-
tion on the part of the Holy Alliance to turn
their arms against Spain.-: In a Viennwarticle, in
the French. Papers; it is. said, " Every thing an-
nounces that our whole army is about to be put
on the war footing, and that the Laudwehr will
be charged with the interior service. These ex-
traordinary measures lead to the presumption,
that after the occupation of Piedmont, there will
still be another enterprise for the re-establish-
ment of the tranquillity. of Europe." There can
be little difficulty in conjecturing what is the
enterprise here alluded to. The money-market
would seem to have all along anticipated some-
thing of the sort, for the Austrian successes in
Italy have not in the least tended to restore
its confidence in Austrian paper ; and if the
occupation of Italy were only in contemplation,
it is not easy to see how the discredit should still
continue. In a letter from Frankfort, in the
Atigenyine Zeitung, it is said, " there is yet no
confidence in Austrian paper either in Frankfort
or in Holland, and the lots of the second Lot-
tery of Rothschild were, on one of the last 'Re-
demption days, offered even under the negociation
price, and the house of Rothschild was compelled
to take back by no means a small number of them
to prevent a further depreciation." An opinion
must, we think, prevail among capitalists,' 'to the
effect which we haVe stated, and, considering the
significant intimations on the subject, in the shape
of articles from ta.ybach,Stc. which'are alloWed
to appear at Vienna, where the Press is alto-
gether in the hands of the Government, there
seems to be but too much reason for entertaining it.
The vigorous measures of defence whiCh the

Of the Monarch of France, will, it is hoped, discon-
cert the plans of the Royal Conspirators. It is
very generally believed that the French Monarch
altogether disapproves of the idea of allowing a
Passage through France to a Russianarmy : and
that the Ultras, who confidently expected the,
presence of the Russians, and, who were unable
to contain their joy on that account, are quite en-
raged at finding themselves disappointed. If the'
King consult_either the' feeling of his people,'or
his own safety, he will keep out the Russians.

RIOTS AT.,GLASGOW,:
ON.TLIE CELEBRATION OF THE KING'S BIRTH-DAY.

(From the Glasgow Courier.)
Yesterday,' (Monday) the birth-day of our'
most gracious Sovereign George .the Fourth,•
was celebrated in , this city with' every de-
monstration of loyalty and affection. The troops
in our garrison, the sth Dragoon Guards

Corps, were under arms early in the fore-
noon, and drew up in the Green in the

than 50,000 persons were assembled. Every.
vehicle that could be procured was put inactivity
and the, number of carriages, filled with all the
beauty and fashion of this city and neighbour-

. As the evening approached, the streets were
very much crowded ; and squibs, crackers, and
rockets became numerous and annoying. About
nine o'clock, a laige bonfire was again placed op-
ppsitethe gaol, foraged by one or • two tar barrels,
which had been carried in procession ; and the
