lands, &c. &c.

" Considering that, according to reports which have been re-
ceived, Slaves are now and then imported into the Colony of
Surinam, from certain foreign Colonies, where the Slave Trade
with Africa direct is still permitted; referring to the Treaty con-
cluded between the Netherlands and Great Britain, on the 4th
of March, 1818; referring to the Law of November 20, 1818;
having examined the Reports of our Ministers for Foreign
Affairs, Justice, Public Instruction, National Industry, and
Colonies, by the advice of our Privy Council, have thought fit
and determined to prohibit the Importation of Slaves into the
Colonies of our Kingdom, and especially into that of Surinam,
from those Colonies where the direct Slave Trade with Atria
is still permitted, as we do by these presents and under the same
penalties as are denounced against the importation of prohibited
goods there.

" Our Ministers of Public Instruction, National Industry,
and Colonies, are charged with the execution of this Decree, of
which communication is to be made to our Ministers of Foreign

Affairs and Justice, and to the Council of State, and this our
resolution is to be inserted in the Official Journal.

We insert an interesting narrative of the circum-
stances which preceded, accompanied, and followed
the promulgation of the Constitutional Government
:It Genoa. The account is by an eye-witness. Sub-
sequent statements, published from Milan, allege that
the Genoese have since submitted, with the other
subjects of the Sardinian, or perhaps we might have
said the Imperial, Crown. If so, the transient effu-
sion of feeling at Genoa is but an historical fact.—
Still it is a fact which, if true, deserves to be recorded
to the honour of an oppressed and
_injured race, that
the lowest of the Genoese were actuated on this occa-
sion by sentiments worthy of the highest ; that no
base appetite for blood or plunder disgraced the cause
of freedom ; that the property of an odious Governor
stood respected in his defenceless Palace•; and that
large sums of money, vken from his Agents by force,
were lodged, by men in the poorest class of society,
undiminished, in the hands of the Junta.

The extensive dye-works attached to Blantyre cot-
ton mills, were, on Saturday morning, discovered to
be on fire, and entirely consumed, notwithstanding
every exertion to arrest the progress of the dames.

FATAL RIOT AT GLASGOW.

FROM THE GLASGOW CHRONICLE.

GLASGOW, APRIL 24.

Yesterday the KlNG's.birth-day was celebrated with
the customary demonstrations of loyalty. The Mili-
tary and Volunteers, in the presence of an immense
crowd, manoeuvred and fired in the Green ; and in
the evening his MAJESTY'S health was drank at the
Cross, amid great applause, by the Magistrates.
The juvenile loyalists amused themselves during the
day by letting off pistols, squibs, and crackers. The
populace came into play as the evening advanced.
A flamingtar-barrel was paraded through the prin-
cipal streets, and then used to light up a bonfire in
front of the prison. Baillie CLELLAND'S palings are
the materials usually seized upon for expressing loy-
alty. Five months ago the mob consigned them to
conflagration for the escape of the QUEEN ; and last
night a similar use was made of them in honour of
his MAJESTY. The bonfire had not lasted long, be-
fore the Police Officers came forward and endea-
toured to prevent further depredation ; but they were
fiercely assailed by the mob and obliged to retire.
A small party of Dragoons then came to the spot.
The Officer commanding them, in the most humane
manner, tried to persuade the populace to desist, but
they answered his mild deportment by hisses and a
volley of sticks. The Officer still contented himself with
keeping off the crowd from the fire. By and bye the
Magistrates appeared, with a company of Infantry.
The crowd, persisting in their attack, were ultimately
driven back ; but they renewed the conflict with
sticks and stones, and severely wounded some of the
soldiers. The patient forbearance of the Dragoons
deserves the greatest praise; every man of this small
party was cut or bruised : a serjeant and private
were unhorsed. The LORD PROVOST and the Head
Jailor were cut on the head. Several Gentlemen
near them were also wounded more or less. One of
the 41st was knocked out of the ranks. After some
delay, the Dragoons, having been reinforced, ad-
vanced ; and the crowd made off in all directions.—
During one of the evolutions of the Dragoons, seve-
ral hundred men, women, and children, were tumbled
over each other. The confusion and cries of terror,
as well as the loud lamentations for the loss of hats
and shoes, were striking. They whe endeavoured
to get away by the wooden bridge, soon blocked up
the passage, and the first arch, twenty-five feet in
width, broke down with the pressure. It was a ter-
rific crash ; the cries which arose from the sufferers
were most piercing, and were re-echoed by others
little less fearful from the spectators. A mingled
mass of men, women, and boys, were precipitated
into the bed of the river. The water was not at the
deepest more than ten inches; but much injury was
sustained from the fall and pressure. The Police
officers assisted the bystanders in carrying out the
wounded, but the soldiers were by this time too
much irritated -to offer any aid. The unfortunate
persons were conducted to the Town's Hospital, the
Jail, and the Infirmary.
Five of the sufferers were carried into the jail, four
of them had broken legs, and one had a broken arm.
In the Royal Infirmary there are seven men and boys
with fractured arms and legs. In the Town's Hos-
pital there are eleven men, girls, and boys; among
the injuries are a fractured thigh bone, a compound
fracture of the leg, a dislocated shoulder joint, a girl
with a fractured jaw-bone, and, the remainder are
bruises. A number were taken to the South Bank.
A surgeon in Hutchesontown has three cases of frac-
ture, and twenty-one of severe cuts or bruises. A
number more were hurt, who went home. We
lament to say that these accidents are not the worst.
—One unfortunate man of the name of George
Andrew, a shoemaker in the Gorbals, was helped
(from the bed of the River) into an adjacent house,
and set down in a bed ; when he had got a drink
of water, he fell back and instantly expired.—
He has left a wife and four children to lament his
death. There are rumours of several more deaths ; but
they have not been authenticated by our enquiries.
Tire practice of firing pistols at the head of pas-
sengers, is one that merits exemplary chastisement.
Yesterday, a boy passing Calton Mouth, received a
pistol shot in the head. His skull was broken, and a
portion of the wadding was taken out of the substance
of the brain. This morning he was still alive, and
even sensible. A girl received a shot in her eye,
which is likely to deprive it of sight.
