GLASGOW, SEPT. 13.

SIT/. LOONIS.—No further acts of violence have been
committed by the labourers who so foolishly fOrsook their
employment at the steam looms in this city and neigh-
bourhood. At a meeting held yesterday on the Green,
we hear that it was determined by a majority of 73 of
the workers to 52, to continue to hold out or stick by one
another, till they got things their own way. Of this, we
believe, there is not the smallest prospect. It is with
deep concern, however, we learn that a plot has been re-
gularly organized, to put to death some of the Masters
and Proprietors of these looms. The man who fired at
the foreman belonging to Mr. MILLER'S Mill has been
apprehended, and confessed that he was employed, re-
tained, and paid to accomplish the horrid purpose. Ilk
wages, be says, were raised by means of sixpence, or one
shilling per week, paid by those who chose to contri-
bute. One of the instigators, and who furnished the
person alluded•to ye ith the pistols to accomplish the dia-
bolical deed, is in custody, and we do hope that no stone
will be left unturned to drag to light and punishment such
horrible associations as those—a disgrace to the age and
our country. Yesterday we.learn that one person was
severely injured by vitriol thrown from the hand of some
miscreant or miscreants.--Glasgow courier.

FARTHER PARTICULARS.
FROM THE GLASGOW CHRONICLE.

The ringleaders of the combination which exists among the hands
formerly employed in the power-loom factories have rot yet aban-
doned tbpir criminal and extravagant design% In direct opposition
to every prudential consideration, and in defiance of all order and
authority, they seem to be determined, at all hazards, to try every
espeatnt to force the masters to dismiss the new workers and em-
ploy themselves on the old tooting in their stead. With this view,
partly by menaces and partly by persuading a number of the ku-
tonsil. rate weavers, that the new hands are totally unable eithet
to dress the webs or keep the machinery in order, they have
deterred them from resuming their labour. Hence it is tha.
detail; the week, such bands of females have been constantly gad-
ding the streets of the Gorbals. Oa Tuesday night, between six
and seven o'clock, as if by a preconcerted plan of operations, a
crowd of fellows from all directions simultaneously arrived in
Ilir chesontown, and perambulated the different streets, particu-
larly those in which the cotton-factories are situated. The Gor-
bats police, accompanied by a number of patrol men, proceeded to
the spot, and vainly endeavoured, by admonitions and threats, to
cause them to disperse. The former they heard with dogged sileuce,
and to the latter they,nniformly replied with epithets of insolence and
ntcmpt. About half-past seven, a large mob appeared before one
of the power-loom factories, and cmimenced a violent attack upon
tl e windows. The guard within remonstrated, and advised them to
desist, but they still continued in their work of demolishing the
Windows, and assaulting the party stationed within for the defence
of the place. Several of the latter received hurts from the stones,
and were at length necessitated to fire its their own defence. On the
discharge of four or five pistols over their heads from •te windows of
the factory, the mob retired, bat it was only for a moment ; for they
almost immediately advanced with terrific sboutings and yellings
and vollies of stones. The protecting party then issued out, and
solos more shots were discharged, when the mob again retreated
and were pursued for a short distance. A lad of the name of
Ronald AP Nab, about 14 or 15 years of age, was mortally wounded
in the face. Ile was forthwith carried to a surgeon, but medical
Aid was unavailing, and he expired yesterday morning at a quarter
past five o'clock. A dispatch had in the meantime been sent off
to the Sheriff, who instantly seat for a party of cavalry, on whose
appearance the streets were soon cleared. The Sheriff and other
official persons accompanied them, and wok their stations inside the
work ; and about half-past ten the Sheriff dispatched a messenger
fur 40 infantry, and that number of the 73d arrived about eleven
o'clock, and were stationed inside the work, where they remained
until about six o'clock yesterday morning. The Sheriff remained
himself until midnight. A patrol paraded the streets in the neigh-
bourhood all night, and a number of suspicious persons were made
prisoners, and lodged in the Gorbals police-office. Yesterday morn-
ing some constables were stationed beside the mill. About eight
o'clock yesterday morning a party of dragoons arrived in liutche-
sontown, where they remained till .after the works were shut in
the evening. Last night a party of infantry remained in the factory
that bad been assailed, and a strong piquet of the dragoons were
kept in readiness to tern out on the least alarm. By ten o'clock
the shops in Ilutchesontown were mostly shut, and there was
scarcely a person to be seen in the streets. So long As the present
disposition to maltreat the new workers is manifested, the factories
are to stop at such a time as will enable them to get home with
daylight, and such measures are taken as will ensure their personal
safety, and lead to the instant apprehension of any miscreant by
whom they may be assailed.
About a month ago a cotton-spinner was dismissed from a cot-
ton-mill near Barrhead for making bad yarn. A fortnight elapsed
before any person appeared for the wheels. Eventually a spinner
came forward, who was on application employed. It appears that
this spirited individual is cordially opposed to the absurd and dan-
gerous views of the combination which exists amongst his fellow-
tradesmen, and is, consequently, to them an object of dread and
detestation. During the first few days he was engaged in the work,
the piecers broke his ends, and molested and interrupted him in va-
rious ways. The spinner despised and disregarded these petty an-
noyances, and the instigators had recourse to violent measures. Se-
veral anonymous letters were sent, in which a coffin was drawn, and
the worker threatened with exemplary vengeance if he persisted in
keeping the wheels. These threats he also treated with contempt;
when, determined to be bailed no longer, on Monday night, shortly
before nine o'clock, just as the spinner was preparing for bed, some
of the bravoes of the confederacy coolly discharged a pistol through
his window, and lodged upwards of 30 slugs in his body. Medical
aid was promptly procured, the shot was extracted, and happily for
the individual be is now out of danger. The civil authorities in
Paisley proceeded in the business with their usual activity, and se-
veral persons have been apprehended on suspicion of being concerned
in the diabolical outrage.

BONDED GOODS.—The following important commen
cial intelligence is communicated to us from a high au.
thority in the CUstom-House department :

" It has been decided by a letter from the Secretary of the Trea-
sury, that bonded goods, warehoused before the sth of July, 1823,
may remain in warehouse without payment of duty, for the unex-
pired part of five years allowed by their Lordships Minute of the
Bth of August, 1815, provided the parties renew their bonds as
beretofeet."—Lerierpol Afercury.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHLQurn.

On Thursday a public dinner was given to the Right
Hon. the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, at the
Royal Hotel, Birmingham, by A number of the most re:
spectable inhabitants of that town and its vicinity,
The chair was taken by THEODoRE Plum E'q. hay.
ing the Right lion. Gentleman on his right, and on his
left a Mr. CUMBERLAND and Colonel Gum!, friends if
Mr. ROBINSON. The Low BAILIFF acted as Vice-Pie.
sident. The Chairman was also assisted by W. C. Rea.
sELL, Esq. and Mr. MEREDITH, who occupied the chairs
at the ends of the cross table. It was intended that
the duty of presiding should have fallen upon the HIGH
BAILIFF, but in consequence of his absence ft tim homes
and, though specially summoned, of his inability to tee
turn, the Chair was filled by -11 Ir. PRICE, as the senior
Magistrate present.
On the removal of the cloth, " The Rine with four
times four, was drank with rapturous applause.
The " Royal Family," the " Duke of York and the
Army," and " Lord Melville and the Navy," followed.
The CHAIRMAN next, in a short address, introduced
the health of " the Chancellor of his Majesty's riche.
quer," briefly adverting to the popular acts of the Right
Hon. Gentleman during the last Session of Parliament,
and to the broad and enlightened views which distin-
guished his Presidency of the Board of Trade. The
announcement of the toast was received with the most
unequivocal tokens of approbation, and was drank with
three times three, amidst the loudest cheers.

The CHANCELLOR rose, evidently much affected by
the enthusiastic warmth with which his name 113.1 been
received, and was for some minutes prevented giving
utterance to his thanks by a c6ntintrance of the rounds
of applause, which wire renewed at his rising for that
purpo€e. Silence being at lengili obtained, M Rost xsom
proceeded to express his acknowledgments in a manner
and language at once manly, eloquent, and impressive.
The Right honourable Gentleman commenced by alludieg, with.
great feeling mid animation, to the kind welcome with which he
had been greeted—a welccrne that could only have been lookedfor
in reference to an old and long-tried

traced the encouraging approbation
task that had fallen to him since his new official appilintrii.nit—that
of assisting in lessaning the public burthens of the country. Re
could it sure the company that it wets the .rst object of his polity,
and that the relief so afforded had been extended with a most will-
ing hand. Mr. Robinson then refereed to the trying period throuEll
which the country had passed, and adverted to the lamented effects
produced be the late coninwrcial distress, and particularly as it re.
laced to this and other mannfactuti"g district". Ile next congra-
tulated those who heard him upon the present condition of our ma.
nufacturers, and those employed under them, and touched with
great delicacy and tenderness upon any feeling of discontent that
might have been found among those who had borne the more intense
pressure of the times; adding, most truly, that whatever might once
have been the case, all was now industry, contentment, and happi-
ness. The Right Hon. Gentleman having alluded to the gratification
he had experienced in the course of his progress through the various
establishments he hrd visited, adverted generally to the policy of
Government, declaring that it was its determination to pi eszrve the
blessings of peace, so long as they could be secured consistently
with the honour and dignity of the State ; and in this he felt as.
sured that he expressed the sense of the great majority of his fellow:
subjects. Should the time, however, again arrive, when it might be
' necessary to call the resources of the country into action, he doubted
' not she would again put forth her mighty strength in defence of out
national safeguard, the Constitution. lie concluded by remarking,
' that although it had been said the walls of that safeguard had bees
rent, and its foundations materially impaired by time ; anti by others
that it was tottering to its ruin, he felt that it was founded upon a
rock ; that it stood where it had originally been placed in all its ins-
' posing, he might say Gothic magnificence; and he feared not, that
if attacked from without, it would yet he found to be a castle of
strength amply sufficient to laugh a siege to scorn. The Right Hun.
• Gentleman sat down amidst the cheers his Address bad eseited,liut
rose again almost instantly, and proposed as a toast, Prosperity
• to tie Town and to the Trade of ihrininp,ham."

The CHAIRMAN next gave " The House of Bruns-
wick, and the pi inciples that seated it on the Throne of
these Realms." , This was followed by the health of the
Duke of Wellington," and by that of " Lord Liver-
pool and his Majesty's Ministers," which was drank
with three times thtee.
The latter toast again brought np Mr. ROBINSON,
who observed, that in stating his own opinion on the
'topics to which he had alteady adverted, he had dis-
tinctly expressed the sentiments of his colleagues. Hi;
Majesty's Ministers, he repeated, were actuated by no
other motive than the public welfare ; and though the
line of policy they had adopted might in some instances
ba deemed erroneous, they felt that it was only so long
as they carried with them the approbation and confi-
dence of the country, that they could hope to maintain
those situations, the duties of which it was their endea-
vour honestly to fulfil to the best of their ability.
The health of the " Marquis of Lansdown," of
" Earl Talbot, and success to the approaching Festival,"
&c. followed.
In the course of the evening the health. of " Colonel Gore,"
and of " Mr. Cumberland" were drank, as was the health of
i
" Mr. Canning," who, it was stared by Mr. Spry, had sed
pa
through the town on that day, and that it was with the u ost
regret Mr. C. found himself compelled to forego an invitatio , int-
mediately conveyed to hini by the Committee to meet the Right
Hon. Guest at dinner. Mr. Robinson afterwards begged to pro-
pose the health of the " Ladies of Birmingham;" and Mr. Bata
replied on behalf of his fair townswomen, in a speech that excited
much mirth. He concluded by giving " Lady Sarah Robinson
and family," which was drank with great enthusiasm, and produced
another address from Mr. Robinson.
After a few other toasts, which we are compelled to pass over un-
noticed, the Chancellor rose and took his leave of the company, and
upon retiring was immediately followed Iry the whole of the party.

" BULLETIN.

f:-Marshal the Duke of lteggio, the Commander-in-
Chief of the Ist Corps of the Army, reports to his Royal
Highness the surrender, by capitulation, of the corps of
narea—(The particulars are already known).
gi The operations against Cadiz are pursued with vi-
gour. The flotilla receives every day new reinforce-
ments. Since the taking of the Trocadero, our troops
have been constantly occupied with the establishment of,

batteries, destined to stop the navigation of the ships of
the enemy, as also the works which he has near the
place. The bombs discharged from these batteries, have
yesterday set fire to the immense magazines of wood
near Puntales. The fire lasted all night, and is not yet
extinguished. Monseigneur passed in review, on the 2d of
September, the troops which took part in the affair of
the 31st of August, and delivered himself, to the offi-
cers, sub-officers, and soldiers, who particularly distin-
guished themselves, the decorations which they have so
well merited.

" Head-quarters, Port St. Mary, sth September, 1823.
" By Order of his Royal Highness,
" Major-Grtieral Count GUI LLEMINOT."

Colonel Garces has not been sent back to Cadiz, as
some journals have reported. This Officer,. and the
thousand men taken with him, have been sent to France.

On the night of the 4th and sth, a boat, with a flag
of truce, brought to our posts General Alava, ith a
letter from the King of Spain to his Royal Highness the
Duke olAngouleme. The General was not received by
the Prince. The Duke of Goiche has been sent to Cadiz,
with the tnswcr of Monseigneur to the letter of the King.

EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.

PORT ST. MARY, SEPTEMBER 5.

We are row lodged at the Trocadero. Yesterday our
batteries set on fire the commercial magazines of wood
at Puntales ; the wind was high, and the whole was soon
on fire. A number of reports prevail here about Cadiz.
It is said that General Valdes assembled a Council of
War, and told them tlat he could not any longer de-
fend the place. It is a:so stated that General Alava
confessed that their best troops were destwyed at the
Trocadero.

The llestavrarAr publishes the following document,
under the head cfPort St. Mary, dated August 26 :
Ilis Itz-iyal Highness being informed that vari..us
local authorities have misinterpreted his order of the
8 b of Augu,t, has commissioned me to make to you
several observa.ions on the subject. At the same time
that his Royal highness expresses his desire to put a
stop to, all artitrary measures ; he likewise acknowledges
tl:e utility of securing the power of the Spanish Autho-
rities, both municipal and judicial, in order to repress
climes, the impunity of which would endanger the
public tranquillity, the preservation of which was the
object of that order. It neyer was the intention of his
Royal Highness to arrest the course of justice in the
prosecution of ordinary crimes, respecting which the
Magistrates must retain the entire plenitude of their
authority.

The measures presented in the order of the Bth
August, have no other object than to insure the effects
of the Prince's word, by which he guaranteed the tran-
quillity of those who, on the faith of the promise of his
Royal Highness, should leave the enemy's ranks. But,,
at the same time, indulgence for the past, is an assurance
of the rigour with which new crimes will be punished,
and consequently the French commanders are not only
to suffer the ordinary tribunals to act, whose office it is
to punish, with all the severity of the law, those who
shall in future be guilty of infractions, disorders, or
disobedience, but they shall also act in concert with the
local authorities, in all measures which shall concern the
preservation of the public peace.

• " As for the regulations contained in Article 4, which
places the Journals under the inspection of the French
Commanders, it must not be supposed that it has any
other object than to prevent the insertion in the Papers
of articles which may inflame party spirit, and hinder
the effect of the measures adopted by his Royal High-
ness, by ill-timed personalities, whether relative to tl.e
military operations, or to the pacification of Spain and
the liberty of his Catholic Majesty, the chief object of
his Royal Highness's efforts.

" The French Commanders must make arrangements
with the Spanish authorities, to hinder the insertion of
such; and in case the authorities should not pay regard
to these observations, it is natural and just, that, acting I
for the interest of the operations of the a: my, these
Commanders should oppose such insertions.
" Please to make known to the civil and military Spa-
nish authorities who ate in your district, and to the
French commandant under your orders, the preceding
observations, which can leave no doubt respecting the
zeal intentions of his Royal Highness."

Off Barcelona, September 8.

The galliot Etoile, commanded by M. Olivier, has
captured a vessel, the St. Anthony, from Palamos, laden
with provisions and fruits, which it was conveying to
Villa Nova. The vessel was sent to Badalona.

The same vessel captured the Spanish pink la Vierge
de Tosa, laden with charcoal, which had been sent from
Naiorca to Mataro.

Two Aides• de-Camp, the one belonging to Mina, and
t! le other to Rotten, attempted to escape from Barcelona.
Unfortunately they were observed flPom the citadel, and
arrested at the moment they wee embarking ; they

hare been thrown into prison, and it is probable the_
Rotten will not long delay having them shot. This
monster immolates new victims every day, and em-
ploys the most atrocious means to procure money.—
The place is almost wholly without fresh meat—a sheep
costs an ounce of gold. •
