LEEDS, DECEMBER 15.

The most alarming reports of insurrectionary move-
ments, on theOirref tht Birttb=dßefOrmers, continue
to be circulated here, with great industry, and cause
the most painful sensations. if-we may credit these
rumours, most. positiftnettCceunts have, certainly,
reached this place, that simtdianeous.rising is per-
fectly organized; 'arid' that & insurrectionists, in
every town, mean to divide into sections, and. in that
way, proceed, at one and the sasuctime, to the quar-
ters of the militArti'azia lieite upon their arms ! But,
happilz, the Aksisit has.. got wind, and precautions
are every 14iareitaking_to guard against it ; and im.
menskbadies of troops are pouring towards this dis-
trict.—To prove:that some well-founded suspicions
are entertained _that *serious mischief is meditated,
the soldiers
.in this- town and neighbourhood, have
been kept in a state of readinesl to act at a moment's
notice, these five nights past. Additional Barracks
are to be forthwith prepared, for the strong military
force under orders for this place.

GLASGOW.

" TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14.

II Excepting thi stir occasioned in'the town yes-
terday by the arrival of the troops from the East
country, nothing unusual took place. Such, how-
ever, is the complexion of the times, that every pre.
caution is proper ; and the Magistrates deserve warm
commendation for their vigilance.; since, although
the evil-disposed are too few to set on foot any thing
like an insurrection, they might excite a riot, and
occasion some destruction of property. There is,
however, no cause for alarm. We have reason to
believe that the Radicals in the City and suburbs do
not amount to one-eightieth part of the population;
and ice believe that but • a small proportion of this
small fraction meditate violence. It ought not be
forgotten that it is their object to intimidate.
The streets began to get a little thronger than
usual about nine o'clock in the morning ; and about
ten a strong detachment of the 15thsRegiment passed
through the town for Paisley. About eleven, the
Stirling Yeomanry Cavalry arrived ; and at twelve
the Mid-Lothian Yeomanry Cavalry, (a very fine
looking corps, headed by the SOLICITOR•oENERAL),
came in from Hamilton, and brought two pieces of
artillery ; and about one, a Troop of the 10th Hut_
sirs also arrived. These successive arrivals of such
powerful masses of military, brought great crowds
'into the streets ; and from the barracks to the Cross,
the Gallowgate.street was very throng till the even-
ing. The streets were as quiet as usual through the,
night, and even the city lamps, which are generally
the first victims of rabble hostility, escaped.

" In Calton-and Bridgetown almost a Sunday silence
prevailed ; there were few weavers working ; the
windows were mostly shut up. There were, however,
fewer people than usual on the streets. •
I. In some of the country towns, little work was
done by the Radicals. At Pollokshaws, a few of
them turned out to a field at some distance, and a
Shoemaker made them two or three speeches on the
history and mystery of the British Constitution."

FROM ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The fears and dire alarms of the many have been ,
most happily disappointed, and the prudent precau-
tionary measures adopted by the local Authorities,
have only been the means of proving the loyalty' of
the lieges, which now I see is great." In addition
to the Rifle corps, in our garrison, there are detach-
ments of the 6th and 13th Regiments of Foot; and
in quarters in town, and at Spring Gardens, four
troops of the 10th Hussars,. a detachment of the
13th, upwards of 300 of the Mid-Lothian Cavalry,
dres.sed in blue, uncommonly fine looking men—the
sinews of auld Caledonia—and a few of the West-
Lothians, who wear red jackets, and are very stout.
The town, during the day,, which was pleasant,
though cold, was all gaiety, and had rather the ap-
pearance of a holiday, than one which was to blast
the reputation and ruin the families of thousands ; nor
were the friendly salutations and truly Scottish shakes
of the hand, exchanged by our unarmed citizens and
their armed friends from the East,. the least pleasing
part of the scene. Two troops of Hussars went to
Paisrey, and four carts, escorted by parties of the
Rifle Corps, with arms and ammunition, and some
of the Dumfries-shire Local Militia Cavalry have
been called in there. Every thing, however, has been
uncommonly quiet. The Glasgow Sharpshooters are
ening the duty at the Jail, Bridewell, and other parts
of the town. On Sunday night, Captain Struthers'
Company did duty in the Town Hall, and picquets
went out towards Calton and Bridgetown, and other
parts of the City, where, like a regular approach to
the seat of war, they were stopped, almost at the cor-
ner of every street approaching the town, bybpicquets
of Cavalry, who, on getting the «wOrd, allowed
them to pass. The streets were, however, uncom-
monly quiet. Nearly the same caution was observed
last night, and the result was similar. Yesterday,
however, was observed as a day of fasting by all the
Radicals in the vicinity. There are two pities of
artillery in the Old Relief Hospital, and two more at
the Barracks."

The following. statement, which tom copy from
The Dublin Evening Post of Tuesday last, chews that
the system of gross and wicked exaggeration, which
has contributed so much to raise a false alarm in the
public mind, is not confined to the Government
