GLASGOW, APRIL 14.

We continue to enjoy perfect tranquillity here, with
occasional reports of night-drilling in our neighbour-
hood, which. cannot prevail to any extent in the face
of the military force stationed here.
Arrests of the disaffected are daily taking place in
this City and neighbourhood ; and a number of per-
sons, we are informed, have disappeared, who were
not previously) suspected of having been in any mea-
sure involved in revolutionary attempts.

The LORD ADVOCATE brought several Gentlemen
of the Law with him from Edinburgh, who are now
engaged in examinations of the prisoners that have
lately been apprehended.

Last night a troop of Hussars, Lord Elcbo's Edin-
burgh Troop, and twenty of the Glasgow Troop,
with thirty Riflemen in spring waggons, and a piece
of flying Artillery, set off at eleven o'clock, and took
the Kilmarnock-road. We have not heard of any
disturbances in the West Country, and should there-
fore suppose, that a search for prisoners and arms, in
some of the disaffected manufacturing villages in
Ayrshire, is the object of this strong party.
Early on Wednesday morning, a party of the Yeo-
manry Cavalry surrounded the town of Mauchline,
when a strict search was made for arms and papers.
About thirty Radicals were'taken up. Some pikes
were found concealed in a field near the town.

Wednesday- last, Mr. Murdoch, W ith a party of
eight men, left Airdrie to escort a quantity of am-
munition for the Airdrie Volunteers. On their re-
turn, they were attacked and abused by a crowd
assembled at the Barrack gate, who followed them
along the road, hissing, hooting, crying " seize the
powder," and assailing them with a shower of stones.
'lteti.men were placed in front as a guard, and the
rest closed behind. There might then be about 700
or 800 men, and their insolence increasing, they were
charged by the party. They were instantly rejoined
by the crowd, who continued to pelt them with stones.
When they came to Westmuir and Shettleston, the
mob became quite infuriated, crying " kill Mur-
doch." In this manner they were handled till past
Baillieston Toll, when the appearance of a party of
Volunteers, sent to meet the escort, compleatly
turned the pursuit. The party were all injured by
stones, and some of the horses cut. Only one shot
was fired, and that over the head of the mob ; but
some of them will doubtless feel bruises given them
with the broad side of the sword.

Wednesday morning, about three o'clock, eight of
the 7th and eight of the 10th Hussars set off to Holy-
town, where they seized three leading Radicals, and
brought them into Glasgow Jail.

The annoyance sustained by the country, in conse-
quence of the ridiculous exaggerations of the force
of the Radicals, is well illustrated by what took place
last week at Kirkfieldbank. The treasonable placard
was posted up on the night of Sunday ; but nobody
seemed disposed to follow its recommendation for a
general strike till Wedneiday : but on that day there
came a pestiferous messenger, who announced that
the Radicals had taken the field 72,000 strong, the
men armed with pikes, and the women with "wasps !"
The Radicals of the village immediately held a Meet-
ing on the road, and made use of the floor of an old
house as hustings. Upon being asked if the military
had not come out to clear the streets ? he said,:" Na,
man, they dare nae." The Radicals then resolved
to cease workieg. So great a panic was created on
Wednesday, that it was impossible to dispose of

Royal Batch of Scotland note ; it being sagacioudy4i
observed, that 44 they waclaa' wonner though a
twenty shilling note was nae worth a farthia' the
morn." It is but justice, however, to the populace at
Kirkfieldbank to remark, that none of them appeared
in arms; and it is believed that they have none.
