dated June 28 :

Ily order of the Secretary of State for the Foreign Depart-
ment, I communicate to you, that you may immediately give
notice of it is all the Spanish Consuls in this Kingdom, that in
the town of San Selvera, in the island of Majorca, a contagious
disorder has declared itself, of an alarming nature, and which,
it is suspected, may be the plague of the Levant, the Society
for the preservation of the health of that Island, took imme-
diately the most wise and active means to stifle it at its begin-
ning, to which the supreme Society of Madrid have given their
' best assistance."

We are hapy to find that an improvensent has

within the last month.

seve
are so differently gi that it is diffit.
the truth. • It appears. however, that the soldies had
been drinking in a house in Salt-market, and sal
lying.forth to the street in a state of inebriety, a quar-
rel took place, and a battle ensued between one of
them and a countryman. The Police having come
to the spot. were in the act of taking both into cus-
tody, when the military drew .their bayonets, and
cleared the street up to the Cross, the Police and in-
habitants flying in all directions. 'A reinforcement
of Police-officers had, in the meantime arrived, but
such was the terrific appearance of the soldiery, that.
no one dared to approach them. One of them, how-
ever, having separated • from his companions, was
made prisoner, and, after a severe struggle, carried
to the Police Office. The.scene of riot and confusion
which took place at this time is beyond description.
The soldiers, flourishing their drawn bayonets, had
complete possession of the Trongate to the end of Cie
Exchange, the inhabitants running by die bark of the
Tontine, and through every opening where they could
And access. The crowd soon considerably augmenteJ,
and stones were thrown at the military fronsall cigar-
ters, and some. of the more daring rushed in upon
them, and attempted to wrest the bayonets from their
hands; in one or two cases this succeeded, bin the
soldiers keeping well together, those who attempted
it in general paid for their temerity, as they were in
many instances knocked down and severely struck
with the sides of the bayonets. A sort of running
skirmish continued for about half an hour ; the Police,
in large bodies, repeatedly rushing in upon them,
though with little effect. Bain, the Policeman, alone
fought three of them for some time, parrying off the
blows of the bayonets with his stick, but it unfortu-'
nately filing from his hand, he had to make good his
retreat, after being slightly wounded. Had he been
supported with courage equal to his own, the business
would have been soon finished. It is wonderful that
no person was killed on the spot, considering the in-
furiated state of the military, and the manner they
dealt out the blows with their bayonets.
One man hada nairow escape; having rushed in
and got hold of a bayonet, he was knocked down by
some of the party, but having again got to 'his feet
several desperate thrusts were made at him, which
fortunately did not take effect, and though severely
beaten, he ultimately effected his escape down Salt-
market. The whole of this took place nearly opposite
the Tontine; the soldiers often turning, as if inclined
to go by the Gallowgate to the Barracks. At last a
large stone struck one of them, and brought him
down at the northeast corner of the Cross, where he
lay in a state of inanimation for some time. The sol-
diers were at length overpowered, and sixteen of them
carried to the Police-office, where they broke a num-
ber of the doors and windows ; but being overcome,
peace was restored. During the time this was going
on, a-number of men belonging to the Bell-street'
Flesh-market, very properly formed themselves into
a body to prevent their escape.
A strong party of the Rifle Brigade, headed by a
Magistrate, was soon after marched up, and did duty
at the Police-Office. It was pleasant to observe that
the crowd did not attempt to molest in the least•any
soldier who did not take part in this disturbance—
many of the Hussars, Rifle Brigade, even some of
the 13th Regiment, and others, walked along the
streets with the greatest freedom. Almost all the 16
soldiers sent to the Police-office were more or less
hurt, and two of them were carried to the Military
Hospital, where the operation of trepan was perform-
ed on one of them. In all there are Six of the sol-
diery so badly wounded, that it will be necessary for
them to be taken to the Hospital ; at present there
are four in it. Of the Police there are ten wounded,
principallftbout the head, many of which are bayonet
wounds ; and severs,of the inhabitants are more or
less wounded.
Too much praise cannot be given to the many re-
spectable Gentlemen who both assisted the Police
and tried to restore order by their presence. A fel-
low,..who was attempting to inflame the populace,l
after the affray was over, was observed by a Magi:.
ttate, and taken into custody. We are sorry to learn
that some of the Officers of the 13th were abused, in
their pacific endeavours to get the men into their
quarters. A civil and military inquiry is now going
on.—Glasgow Herald.

THE PARK.—The rain did not entirely prevent a
turn-out irk Hyde Park yesterday afternoon, either in
the Drive or Promenade. It is true, the Exquisite: did
not shevr themselves much, nor were there any of
those beautiful insects—the butterflies, to be seen, as I
is the case on a sunny day, but there were many Gen-
tlemen, and some Ladies, including not a-few of the
Nobility.--about half-past six o'clock, her MAJESTY
passed through the Park, in a plain yellow ferriage,
with four post-horses. Her MAJESTY was dressed in
a white satin hat and pelisse, with a plume of white
feathers. She was attended by Lady ANNE HAMIL-
TON. Her MAJESTY was loudly cheered ; the carriage
went on at a very rapid pick out at Hyde Park-cor-
ner, in the direction of Vauxhall Bridge.

Stas—Meping that the Have of Brunswick will ever coma .
rider its greatest .giory to consist in protecting the weak from
oppression, and id WMIII. die innocent from punishment,
with aDposdbie respect and due humility, beg britfly to lay the
following statement atm ease at your Majesty's feet :—I was
at the last Chester Aidaes tried is the accomplice of ap assassin,
and although there did not appear evidence sufficient to substan-
tiate the charge, the Jury, to nay astonishment, and that of
a' crowded Costrt,.returned a verdict of Guilty ! Far be it
from me to eberge a Jiry of mt countrymen with having re-
;
turned a verdict which was clearly contrary to their conscience.
‘• N 4, Sire, I would attribute such a verdict to an owes-
stiousness of their own dignity as Jurors, whereby they salfered -
theinselves to become the passive instruments of a mistaken
Judge. In a short time after that verdict, whirl haaaatoniabed.
the whole country, I received the sentence of death! Feeling
my reputation destroyed, I looked forward with a pleasing hope •
to that moment in which dissimulation would be vain, and when,
by my last declaration, I might retrieve my reputation. at the
expense of existence; but in a few days I received what is called
a commutation of punishment.
" Ah ! Sire, is it possible, from the inconclusive nature ofiha
evidence, and after the voluntary declaration of the dying peni-
tent (Winn's), that the future historian shall have to re-
cord one of the first acts of mercy of our Sovereign George
the Fourth, to consist in banishing an innocent man from
the bosom of his Country? Forbid it, Heaves'! Justice,
forbid it ! Sire, it is the fate of all mankind to die • and
to the injured virtuous, with whom reputation is dare than
life, death comes not as an enemy, bet a friend; therefore,
permit me to sank the restoration of that liberty and repu-
tation which are dearer to me than life, or in mercy coo-
sign me to a state of oblivion, by the execution of the original
sentience. If this language be too warm, pardon me, Sire. It
is not the language of disrespect, but the native boldness of tor-
scions innocence. Permit me, Sire. to subscribe myself your
Majesty's most dutiful and ever loyal subject,
" J. G. BRUCE.
