ANOTHER T.r.171:11.
" Greenock, oth A p: 18d.O.
▪ You will no doubt this morning have heard of the unfortu-
eere outrage in this town yesterday afternoon and last night, and
that too, perhaps, notch exaggerated. I therefore write this to
give you the particulars as Correctly as I can collect. Yesterday,
wlaen the mop coeeh came in, the guard reported that sixteen
Radicals were to he met here from Paisley, ender an escort of
the Port-Glasgow Volunteers, •to be lodged in our jail, and that
they would probably arrive about four to five o'clock. There
bilng no armed :ores in town, and knowing tire dis7,9:...ted dips-
:.k of many of the lower orders, and a great many persons ap-
pealing in the streets, nprarestly strangers, caused an aparthen-
(ion amongst many of us that there might be some disturbance,
should the prisoners come. The Magistrates were applied to
o • the sebject, wha replied that it could not be true; otherwise
:y would have intimation from the Authotides in Paisley to
previdst accommodation for them, aad be prepared to receive
them : that noi bog the c este they did not believe the account,
especially as at different times of late they had the same rumours,
high turned ea; to he unfounded. They therefore thought no
arere about the matter, and all went home to dinner at the usual
hour of four o'clock.
• Before five o'clock the Fort-Glasgow Volunteers entered
the town with drums and fifes, escorting a cart with five Radi-
o is in it, who were immediately lodged in jail. The sound of
the drums and fifes materally drew together a large concourse
of people in the streets. Mr. Dennis:on, vex of the Magistrates.
hapeeoed by chance to come to the square, seed went to the
when some persons Csaid to he strangers; threw tome stones
at the Volunteers, wLe fired two shots in the sir -.with ieteetion
of intimidation; this, hcwever, had the conteary effect ; and on
Mr. Hermiston remonstrating with the crowd, he was hustled,
and with difficulty rescued from amongst them. The Volun•
terra then marched off, and get the length ef the Rue-end,
v. ':en the mob began pelting them with stcnes, by which several
were severely cut. roue assailed, a file cf them faced round
and bred Amongst the crowd, when several people felt. This,
indeed of repelling the multitude, exasperated them more.
a' They continued attacking the Volunteers, and the Volune
rates continued is in their own defence, till they got through
C.ortsslyke, by which firing and resistance a number of people
*were killed and wounded. By this time, the Justices of the
Peace and others of the respectable inheltitants came to the spot,
and used every means to appease the fury of the mob, and they
became quiet for a little. The Special Constablet, the only de-
fence we have in the place, were ordered to assemble at seven
o'clock; but the people getting from their works, and infuriated
with the accounts of so many people killed and wounded, as-
sambled in a large body, and began an attack on the jail. The
Magistrates and Justices of the Peace get into the yard and de-
fended it as long as they could, but it getting very dark, and
essailed with flower,: of stones, they were obliged to retire, and
the mob succeeded in breaking open the jail, and rescued the
Ave liatlicala, but not any of the other prisoners. They then
di:versed, and by eleven o'clock the town was perfectly quiet.
'4 As far as can be ascertained, there are nine people dead, and
fifteen wounded, several of whom cannot recover. About six
o'clock an express was sent to Paisley and Glasgow for some
Military, and by one &does this morning, a troop of Hussars
arrived, and about nine o'cleck, some Riflemen and other sol-
diers, by steam-boats from Glasgow; but since last night, the
sown is as quiet as usual, and I hope will continue so. No blame
whatever is attachable to our Magistrates, who did everything in
Meir power to preserve the perm For a considerable time the
alarm was great, fearing they might attack private property ;
but no such thing was attempted, not even a pane of glass broke,
ass was any insult offered to any of the inhabitants."
ANOTHER LETTER.
" Greenock, April 9th, 1820.
On account of the crowded state of Paisley Jell, in conse-
wiser of the numerous apprehensions occadontd by the recent
O.uurbeaces there, it was considered proper to send dawn five
al the prisoners to Greenock, aro: yesterday afternoon they
attired here, escorted by the Port-Glasgow Volunteers, and
Tore safely lodged in prison, immediately after which the escort
treoarcd to return homewards. A considerable crowd had
sc . terl to witness the arrival of the prisoners, but no disposi-
ii. e was shewn to annoy the Militery in the execution of their
toy till they were about to return, when some stones were
• .ere e thrown among them; this annoyance rather increased
t::e Vcluntter, repassed through the town, and after turning
the corner of Caohcart-street, the latter fired some of their
leces in order to intimidate the assailants, when two persons
oeze wounded.
It appears that, instead of diminishing, the attacks of the
eeceol were thereby increased, till at length a sort of rur.ll:l%;
• ensued, which unfortunately continued until the Velen.
were almost clear of the suburbs of the town. I.: the en-
ter three persons were killed on the spot, and upwards of
•eri badly wounded, of wham six have since died in the
sonny, whither nearly, the whole of the wounded had teen
under the directions of the medical Gentlemen of the
who came most promptly to the spot, and were unremit-
active in renderitig their profes.aionel assistance. Many of
:alueteers were materially hurt in the affray.
in the evening a crowd again collested at the square,
there being ro military stationed here tb restrain them,

cornmenc d an attack on the miter gate of the prison,

." It may not be superfluous to stre, that the c-tard, in as=
sailing the mil.tary, were most ptobably excited by the random
impulses of the moment. Nothing of the kind was anticipated ,
previous to the arrival of the latter."

Tn folios; ing are extracts from letters received in
Edinburgh: Greenock, April 9.

" A Melancholy and unfortunate business occurred here yes-
terday afternoon. It became generally known that some pri-
soners from Paisley were shortly to arrive, escorted by the Port-
Glasgow Volunteers, for the purpose of being lodged in the jail,
and a considerable ciowd collected. In a short time five pri-
soners were brought in, and safely delivered up by the escort,
which immediately prepared to return homeward. Some dis-
pw,ition then ;hewed itseli front the crowd to mclest the troops
with stones, which increased as the latter repassed throqh
Greenock, till at Lngth they were compelled tO fire wane shots
among the people to intimidate them, and although some of these
took effect, they failed in repressing the mob, who continued
their offensive attacks, so that a sort of running skirmish envoi,
and before the Volunteers had got clear of the suburbs; three
men were shot deed on the spot, and several were badly wounded,
of whom I belitve three died in a short time. The wounded
were immediately attended by the Medical Gentlemen, and
meat of them comeyed to the Infirmary.
" • I understand many of the Volunteers received severe coit_
tusions in this affray. The mob did not pursue them besyond
the suburbs, but dispersed about the town ; an assemblage,
however, in the evening collected at the prison, and there being
ro n-Alitary, pruceetlttl to put their threats of breaking the jail in
execution, is order to liberate the men confined. The Magis_.
trates and some of the principal men of the town reasoned with
them on the impropriety of their conduct, but in• vain. The
crowd broke through the outer gate, and commenced battering
the inner doors of the prison, so that, when on the point of
givieg way, the jailor, to prevent greater mischief, gave up the
Eve prisoners brought front Paisley, who immediately escaped
in different directions. No further tumult occurred; the mob
zradually retired, and by ten O'clock the stmets were again quiet.
Early this morning a party of military arrived from Clasgow,
who remain ; the town continues since undisturbed. It is ne-
cessary to add, that this unfortunate affair was the work of the
moment. The lower orders have hitherto held the most peace-
able demeanour, and have no politic:l societies amongst them ;
nothing, therefore, could have been more unexpected or unpre-
pared fur; and to this is chiefly to be ar_ributed the melan-
choly results."
FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.

0 We have had considerable alarm in this place, which you
will, no doubt,- have Ken in the public prints are this comes to
hand, which leaves me no occasion to detail at length. A great
many have been wow:tied. nine of which have since died of
their wounds. From Saturday, at three o'clock, the streets have
been crowded. Several children have suffered ir: the fray, which
will long be semembertd.”

" Glasgow, April 9.

" The people in this part of the country were led to beli,:ve.
:a consequence of the defeat of the Radicals at Bone ymuir, and
the shortcoming of untnburs at the Radical muster, that the com-
motion.' were at au end. lam sorry that this conclusion was
net correct. An event took place at Greenock, yesterday after-
econ, which is certainly matter of great regret. It is lament-
able, not only on account of the spirit shewn by the lower orders,
but of the blood spilt by the military. The following &restated
to be the 'acts, though no one can expect all he hears, in such
times, to be true; but I believe I am near the truth, when I say
that the following statement is essentially correct :—A party Of
the Port-Glasgow Volunteer Riflemen were escorting a number
of prisoners, said to be five, on a cart, from Paisley to Greenock,
v.hen they were insulted by a crowd of boys, who at length.
when countenanced by persons of snore advanced years, went
so far as to pelt the military with stones.
' " The party succeeded in placing their prisoners in Greenock
Eridewell, but the crowd becoming very large and audacious, it
was found necessary to have recourse to their fire-arms. Seve-
ral shots were tired, to skew the determination of the military.
So fat from this having the desired effect, their forbearance only
stimulated the crowd to farther outrage, and, shocking to tell,
the military were compelled to fire. The result was fatal to se-
veral of them. It is stated that about six were killed on the spot,
as many more mortally wounded, and about double that num-
ber, or even more, slightly wounded. The military were by
this means enabled to reach their homes; but it is said that the
rioters, rallying afterwards, went to the Bridewell, and rescued
the prisoners. In the course of the night expresses reached
Paisley and Glasgow; from the former both horse and foot were
forthwith dispatched, and from the latter they were sent off in
two steam-boats. One of the Port-Glasgow Riflemen had fiis
ear cut away by a stone thrown at him during the affray.

GLASGOW.

" Sunday Evening, Six o'Cloek.

" Glasgow remains quiet, although apprehensions
are still entertained that the Radicals will rally, and
give us more disturbance.
" Many arrests took place yesterday, in Calton and
Bridgeton, and some arms were found ; and just now
a party is returned from Garscube, having a parcel
of prisoners under escort.

" We are again in consternation on account of the
Greenock affair—(after describing this, our Corres-
pondent adds)--many of the people most active in
this mob are said to have followed the prisoners all
the way from Paisley.
A party of military are ordered on duty at seven
this evening,:which would countenance the report of
more commotions being apprehended, but I hope it
is oilly to arrest more of these deluded beings."

FROM A CORRESPONDENT AT FALKIRK, DATED
APRIL 10.

" Friday, two person were apprehended at the village of Ca-
turioniand lodged in Stirling Castle, by a party of the Stirling-
shire Yeomanry. The names of the prisoners are Wright and
both milers by trade ; and are accused of making
pikes. Same evening, a fleeting of the loyal and respectable
inhabitants of this place was held at the .Assembly Rooms, in
order to concert measures for forming an Armed Association
for the protection of the peace, in case of the military being
called off, which is to be immediately carried into effect. Yes-
terday, four more of the Cameion nailors were taken into cus-
tody, by the Falkirk Yeonianry, and lodged in Stirling Castle ;
their names are Wright, Butt, Green, anckM'llory ; also accused
of nuking pikes.

We bave been all day on duty, searching for arms, with no

son to be seen on the streets but military."

The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this fore
noon. The donleltic intelligence they contain is not

ptssessod of the least interest. The following are
accounts from Spain :
MADRID, LIARCII Si'.
The Kitc gioes, eiety day, most Unequivocal
proofs of his sincere attachment to the new order of,
things. The following Decree has been published.
It is rigorous, perhaps, but eircamstAnces do not
admit of tergiversation :
" The Constitution of the Monarchy, to which I have sworn;
is the fundamental lag.- which fixes the duties of all Spaniards
towards the Throne and the Nation, as also their respective
rights. Those who refuse to acknowledge this fundamental law
ipso facto renounce its protection, all the advantages of the asso-
ciation, even that of living on the common territory. There-
fore, and in conformity with the Decree of the Cones, Gene-
ral and Extraordinary, of the seventeenth of August, 1312,.
and in concurrence with the Provisional Junta, I declare,
that every Spaniard who refuses •to take the cat!' to the
'political Constitution of the Monarchy, or who, in taking the
oath, shall qualify it by any protestations, reserves, or restrictive
observations, contrary to the spirit of the said Constitution, is
unworthy the character of a Spaniard; that he is, ipso facto, de
prived often honours, employments, and prerogatives, flowing
from the Civil Power, and that he is liable even to be banished
from the territory ; if he is an Ecclesiastic, he shall, besides, be
defrivcd of his revenues in that capacity.

" The Political Chiefs and other Constituted Authorities are
charged with the execution of the present Decree, and with en-
forcing the penalties of.which it makes mention.
" The Palais, March 26, 1820."

the Constitutional Regime. The province of Anda-
lusia, the kingdom of Cordova, Catalonia, Estrema-
dura, the towns of fleas, Segovia, Tarragona, 13i1-

of things; everywhere Provisional Juntas are esta-
blished; the KING confirms the nominations of the
Atithorities, and the Government is fast consolidating
into order and uniformity.

The victims of the massacre at Cadiz on the 10th

The trial of Sir C. WOLSELEY and Mr. HARRISON,
has ended in the conviction of both. The Jury de-
liberated for about. three quarters of an hour, and
then returned their verdict of Guilty, at a few mi-

The following is an abstract of a letter received
from her Majesty the QUEEN of ENGLAND, dated
Rome, the 16th of March, containing a statement
of grievances, experienced during her residence on
the Continent

" During my residence at Milan, in consequence of the infa
mous behaviour of Mr. Ompteda (he having bribed my servants
to become the traducers of my character), one of my English
Gentlemen challenged him; the Austrian Government sent off
Mr. Ompteda. I wrote myself to the Emperor of Austria, re-
questing his protection against spies, who. employed persons to
introduce themselves into my house, and particelarty into my
kitchen, to poison the dishes prepared for my table. I never re-
ceived any answer to this letter. After this I was obliged to go
into Germany, to visit my relatives the Margravine of Baden,
and the Margravine of Bareuth ' • the shortest road for my return
to Italy was through Vienna, and I took that road, with the flatter-
ing hope that the Emperor would protect me ; arrived at Vienna,
I demanded public satisfaction for the public insult I had expert=
eneed in Lombardy; this was refused me, and a new insult was
offered. The Emperor refused to meet me, or to accept my visit.
" Lord Stewart, the English Ambassador, having received a
letter from me, informing him of my intention of returning by
Vienna, and of taking possession of his house there (as it is the
custom of Foreign Ambassadors to receive their Princesses into
their houses, when travelling), absolutely refused me his house,
left the town, and retired into the country. Lord Stewart af-
terwards wrote a very impertinent letter to me, which is now
in Mr. Canning's hands, as I sent it to England. Finding the
Austrian Government so much influenced by the English Mi-
nisters, I sold my villa on the Lake of Como, and settled my-
self quietly in the Roman estates. I there met with great civi-
lity for some
.time, and protection against the spy, Mr. Omp-
teda, but from the mument I became Queen of England, all ci-
vility ceased.
" Cardinal Gonsalvi has been much influenced since that
period by ;he Baron de Rydan, the Hanoverian Minister, who
succeeded Mr. Ompteda, deceased. The Baron de Rydan has
taken an oath never to acknowledge me as Queen of England,
and persuades every person to call me Caroline of Brunswick.
A guard has been refused me as Queen, which was granted to
me as Princess of Wales, because no communication has been
received from the British Government, announcing me as Queen.
My messenger was refused a passport for England. I also ex-
periented much insult from the Court of Turin.
" Last year, in the month of September (I was then travelling
incognito, under the name of the Countess Oldi), I went to the
confines of the Austrian estates, to the first small town belong-
ing to the King of Sardinia, on my way to meet Mr. Brougham,
at Lyons, as the direct road lay through Turin; I wrote my-
self to the Queen of Sardinia, informing her that I could not re-
main at Turin, being anxious to reach Lyons as soon as possi-
ble, and also that I was travelling incognito; I received no an-
swer to this letter. The Post-master at Bronio, the small post
town near the country villa where I then resided, absolutely re-
fused me post horses; in consequence of this refusal, I wrote to
leMr. Mill, the English Minister at Turin demanding immediate
Vatisfaetion, and the reason for such an brittle Mr. Hill ex-
cused himself upon the plea of its being a misunderstanding, and
told me that post horses would be in readiness whenever I
should require them. I accordingly set out, and arranged to
go through the town of Turin at night, and only to stop to
change horses, but I received positive orders not to go through
the town, but to proceed by a very circuitous road, which
obliged me to travel almost the whole night, in very dangerous
roads, and prevented me from reaching the post-town (where I
should have passed the night) till five in the morning, when by
going through Turin, I migbt have reached it by ten at night.
" Finding so much difficulty attending my travelling, I
thought the most proper mode for me to pursue, would be to
acquaint the high personages of my intention of passing the win-
ter at Lyons, or in the neighbourhocd of Lyons, previous to my
intended return to England in the spring. I aeciressted a letter
to the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, informing him of.
my intentions, and also that I wished to preserve the strictest
incognito ; no notice was taken of this letter ; and one ad.
dressed to the Prefect of Lyons, met with like contempt; in
fact, from the 7th of October to the C6th of January, the day I
embarked from Toulon for Leghorn, I received so much insult
from the Governor and Prefect, that I a'most considered my
life in danger, unprotected as I then was, in such a country;
another motive induced me to leave it—Mr. Brougham could
not fix the period for meeting me anywhere in France.
" I have written to Lord Liverpool and Lord Castlereagh,
demanding to have my name inserted in the Liturgy of the
Church of England ; and that orders be given to all British Am-'
bassadors, Ministers, and Consuls, that I should be received and
acknowledged as the Queen of Englapde and after the speech
made by Lord Castlereagh in the House of Comment, in answer
to Mr. Brougham, I dcs not expect to experience further insults
I have also demanded that a Palace may be prepared for my
reception. England is my real home, to which I shall immedi-
ately fly. I have dismissed my Italian Court, retaining only a
sufficient number of persons to conduct me to England; and if
Buckingham House, Marlborough House, or any other Palace
is refused me, I shall take a house in the country till my friends
can find a Palace far me in London. I have sent a Messenger
to England to make the proper arrangements for that purpose,"
