FROM TEE GLASGOW comm.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PORT-GLASGOW, DATED
APRIL 10.

" On the march to Greenock, the party received
intimation to be on their guard against s surpriz,?, :zs
there were evident indications of intended insult, if
not injury to the corps. This intelligence placed thu
Officers in no very pleasant situation. Crowds o!.
idle men and boys met them before they had gone a
mile from this, and increased considerably on 6e.i.r
route. On entering Cunt!). ke they were astonished
to observe all the shops shut ; and here voices !legal
to bawl from the crowd, to the prisoners--' Cheer
up ! you will soon be relieved from your situation !'
and after passing the first bridge, a large stone struck
one of the sentinels. in the cart with them. From this
time the crowd encreased rapidly till they reached
the jail,.when one company went inside the jail-yard
with the prisoners, and, the other remained cutside
the gate.

•

" At this time a number of men, on a pile .of deals
in a joiner's yard, to the westward of the jail, and I
crowd on the height of the reservoir to the east, be-
gan to assail the company stationed inside the gate
with vollies of stones, when several of the corps were
severely injured, And as the lives of all were in dan-
ger, two or three shots were fired over the heads of
the party to the west, who made off. The prisenets
being now lodged in jail, the corps, according to the
orders of their Commanding °Meer, Captain Dun-
lop, began to retire, in order to return home, and
were accompanied to the square adjoining, by Mr.
Denniston, the Chief Magistrate.
" The by this time had become so excessive,
that the Volunteers had not room to form as they
wished, but immediately began their march out of
town in close order; and here a scene of tumult
commenced, which most unfortunately terminated
in the loss of many lives."
(The rest of this Narrative is nearly the same as the preced:ogi.
KILSYTH, APRIL L
The following has been issued to the 10th Royal
Hussars, at Kilsyth :

" SQUADRON ORDERS.
" To communicating Lieutenant-Colonel TATlMellapprobation
to thnse Non-Commissioned Officers and Privates of the Squa-

droll who were engeged at the affair of Bonnymuir,
Guswooo cannot bet point out to them, that however hisigra-
cant they may deem it as a military operation, this armed rat-
ble, of rogues and fools, the impreuionit has made en the
minds and conduct of those who were not there, has been C;
the greatest consequence to thepeace of this country. The cor-
dace of Private Cecile, of the G. Troop, which was highly
creditable to him as a, Hussar, will prove to these deluded
wretches, that the allegiance of the Army is not to be shaker,
as they had the effrontery to declare in their hand-bills; and
that, however humble his stades, a private soldier requires
only the opportunity to prove his attachment to his King and
Country."

Private Cooke was the Hussar who was marchinz,
dismounted, from Stirling to Kilsyth, 'wilco met by
the Radicals, who asked for his ammunition ? Scciog
nothing was to be done against so many, Cooke
told them he had no ammunition, but if he had
they should have it, as he was for their cause. The-
then gave him one of their hand-bills to read to his
comrades, which he promised to do ; after which he
hurried to Kilsyth, told his story to his offwber, ‘vi(ti
whom he returned mounted, apt gave them a differ
ent proof of his attachment to their cause.
