RIOTS AT PAISLEY AND GLASGOW.

PAISLEY, SEPTEMBER 15.
EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.

" A Scotch mob is always worse than an English
ones it has more determination, as it has generally

some more definite purpose, which is persevered in
as a matter of principle. The Porteus mob was one
of this sort, when the people executed an offender
whom they thought the law was wrong in sparing :
of a similar nature was the mob in Edinburgh lately,
when they witnessed the torture of a poor wretch,
from the neglect of means to put a period to his suf-
ferings. The Paisley mob appears to have acted on
something like an obstinate principle of retaliation,
' for an outrage committed upon itself. Previous to
the seizure of the flags, thtre was nothing in the con-
duct of the people to justify apprehension, unless it
was the waving of the flags, which appears to have
been considered as seditious by the PnoVosT and the
Constables; nor did disturbances commence even then.
It was not till the dispersed mob had collected
in groups, and had conversed on the disgrace of
having their flags taken from them, that the rioting
commenced with throwing stones through the win-
dows of the Court-house, where the constables were
assembled. Whatever opinion may be formed of the
conduct of the PnovosT in seizing the flags, there
cannot be a difference of opinion as to his humanity
in his efforts to disperse the mob when it really be-
came mischievous. Finding all efforts to disperse it
in vain, the Riot Act was ordered to be read—not
privately, as at. Manchester, so that none of the peo-
ple should hear, but publicly; and the Puovosf and
his friends incurred some danger in going out in
every direction, and notifying aloud that it had been
read. The arrival of Cavalry from Glasgow, at ten
o'clock, removed the apprehension of danger, though
the constables continued to be annoyed till three
o'clock on Sunday morning by stones thrown from
narrow lanes and cross-streets.

" The great degree of decency with which the Sab-
bath is observed here, renders the riot which occurred
next evening rather extraordinary, and leads to a
suspicion that spies had got amongst the people, to
keep alive their angry feelings, and instigate them to
violence—and this suspicion is not without ground,
for The Glasgow Chronicle, which exposed the spy
system in 1817, had, in a recent. Paper, a declaration,
signed by half-a.dozen persons, stating that a stran-
ger had appeared amongst them, who shewed them
a drawing of a pike for acting against cavalry, and
represented how easily Dumbarton Castle might be
stormed and taken. It is not easy to account for the
outrageous proceedings, on a Sunday evening, of the
Paisley operatives, who are generally decorous and
peaceable, unless we suppose that this scoundrel, or
some others of the same stamp, had got amongst
them. The windows of the Coffee-room were broken,
and almost all the street lamps ; and it was again
necessary to read the Riot Act, and call out the Mili-
tary, who dispersed the crowd without using their
arms."
