DISTURBANCES IN SCOTLAND•

PRIVATE LETTER FROM GLASGOW, DATED APRIL 5.
" Soon after writing you from home yesterday,
in consequence of an attempt on the part of the
crowd to rescue a person who had been appre-
hended in the act of taking down the LORD
LIEUTENANT'S Proclamation, the party of Ve-
terans who had him in custody, after warning
the crowd of the danger, and at length find-

ing themselves in danger. of being overpowered,
fired two shots over their beads ; but this,
instead of intimidating the crowd, had a con-
trary effect, so that the party was obliged to
fire in the midst of them, and one woman fell,
being shot through the neck, dote by the wind-
pipe; the wound has not yet proved mortal, but
it is nut expected she can live ; as soon as she fell,
the crowd fled in all directions, crying to the Cor-
poral who bad the command of the party, 'Cor-
poral don't fire again.'

" My writing to you just now, is in consequence
of my having just been informed that an engage•
mont has actually taken place this morning at
liilsytb, between the King's troops and the Ra-
dicals the result of which is, that several arc
wounded on hot I► sides. The Radicals were rout( d
and dispersed; leaving in the hands of the Hussars
19 prisoners, ,eho immediaiely sent them to
:;tirlu►g Castle. I have just time to add, before the
pot goes, that 11 of the Committee of Manage-
ment, or the Y.•ovisional Governors, have been

this morning apprehended here, and lodged in
frost ibis will soon come to an end.
" P. S. l'he parties engaged were, 9 of the
Ilus:.ars, 9 of the '.l'eaniBiLry, and

about 50 to 60 Radicals. The skirmish took
place upon the Carron, near Denny, %bleb is si-
tuated about half-way between Killyth and FM.
kirk."

It is with. much pleasure we hav to state that
our revival of the accounts which we gave in
September last of what preceded the Meeting at
Manchester on the 16th of August, as to the ap-
pearance and conduct of the Radical Reformers on
their march to that town on the same (lay, has af-
forded satisfaction to our Readers, and we have
reason to believe that it has been well received by
the Public at large.—The daily falsehoods of
the Morning Chronicle and the Old Times on this
subject demanded some check, as they poured the
most offensive calumnies on the Magistrates and
the Military, who acted with vigour, but with no
want of humanity on the occasion, and who
therefore justly received the approbation of Go-
vernment and of the Sovereign of the Country.—
They were well entitled to those high masks of
approbation, for if the Rebels end their Leaders
had been triumphant, there is no saying hone
far the evil might have extended ; but it is highly
probable that it would. have stimulated other
bad men in various quarters, and if they bad
not overthrown the Government, they might, at
least, have caused universal consternation. We,
can add this day with truth, that we have again
been assured, by an unimpeachable eye-witness,

that our accounts are marked by the Utmost fide.•

lit y, except that the formidable appearance of those
wretches excited more terror in the town and the
vicinity than had been before stated. We shall
not repeat the accounts in question any more than
tl►is day (see first page) ; but we heartily hope that
they will be copied into every loyal Journal
throughout the British Empire, in order to re-
fute the misrepresentations, we should rather say,
to expose the malignant fabrications, of those
London Papers which are a disgrace to the Press
and to their Country.—Our Correspondent cog-
chides with saying, that the mistatements in the
Old Times were so gross, and its calumnies so in-
decent, that it ought to have been burnt by the
common hangman. For our part, we see no rea-
son why the Morning Chronicle should not parti•
cipate in the same ignominious celebrity.

We extract the following from Galignani'sMcs.
senger of 'Tuesday, April 4 :

"-We have official' intelligence froni Madrid up to the 2541
ult. by which we are sorry to perceive that the official reports
of the Authorities of Andalusia confirm the disastrous dis-.
turbaners which we have already announced as haring take*
place at Cadiz.

" It also appears, that the Army of Quiroga wilt not lay
down its arms until the Cortes are assembled. The rest a
Spain is, however, tranquil, and the Constitutional system is
developing itself throughout the Country. The troops who
behaved in so disorderly a manner at Cadiz are to he em-
barked on bard the squadron from where the Constitutive
was first published.
" The Duke del Parque has refused to accept the Embassy
to France, and the Duke 'le Santa Cruz is appointed in his
place. Canga Arguelles, formerly a Deputy of the Cortes,
and celebrated for his talents and liberal opinions' is named,
Minister of Finance. Mina is (as we have already stated,)
nominated Viceroy of Navarre, in the room of the Marquees
d'Espeleta. Villa Campa, who ever since the restoration bars
been imprisoned in Catalonia, and-who was elected by the
people Captain-General of Catalonia, has been confirmed is
his appointment by the Ge4rnment."

STATE PRISONERS.—A meeting took place yes
terday for the purpose of raising a subscription
In order to enable these men to employ Counsel,
and for other matters necessary for,their defence.
The meeting was held at the Crown and Anchor.
(not the usual Receptacle for Radicals), in ,King's
Head-court, Shoe-lane. It was numerously at-
tended by the working classes of society, and
about 401. is said to have been collected. Two
Peace Officers were present at the meeting, said
to have attended by order of the Lord Mayor, but
though the Officers denied that they were sent
by his Lordship, and stated that they came by
order from a different quarter, yet a man, named
IVaddington, a Radical Standard Bearer, arose
and expressed his astonishment that the Lord
Mayor should interfere. We rather approve than
condemn this meeting, for as every man should
be deemed innocent till he is proved guilty, it is
creditable to those mho wish to lighten the suf-
ferings of their fellow-creatures, and to promote
the ends of justice. The prisoners derive front
the bounty of Government every comfort and at•
tent ion which their situation can require, con-
sistent with the security of their persons and it
is but an act of humanity in those who assist them
with the means necessary to clear tbeincelves is
the eye of the law, and time opinion of mankind.

The following Honourable and Patriotic Ai)*
peal in behalf of Religion and Loyalty, cannot
be too :videly disseminated :
" We, the Grand Jury of the County of Warwick, as-
sembled at the Lent Assizes, being convinced that the disse-
mination of blasphemous and seditious Publications is dart
genius to the morals of the people, and fatal to every reli-
gious principle, beg to recommend most earnestly to all
persons, to whom any such Fnischievous work may be offered
for sale or otherwise, to possess themselves of the same, and
to give immediee information thereof to the nearest Con-
stable, in order that the Distributor may he brought as soon.
as possible before a Magistrate.
" The Grand Jury are t I,e more anxious to impress this
recommendation on the attention of their Countrymen, be-
CanS they think that a zealous co-operation of all classet, of
his Majesty's Loyal Subjects 14 absolutely necessary to the
suppression of so subtle and pcinijous an evil."
