We lately sisetisswell an expedition hating liren fitted
out at iloathay, consisting of several merchant vessel•,
manned and armed, to cruise against the 1•i rates in the
Persian Onlf, who had assumed a most formidable ap-
pearance, attacking and plundering all vessrls th•tt they
fell in with ; we hare this morning received further
ativices from Bombay, to the beirinning of November,
which state, that on the 31st of October, another expe-
dition, consisting of the Ann, Thatcher; Jamaica, Dan-
by : Hannah, lieatlitorn ; and the 4 )9.ltra., 31ilnes,
sailed with troops destined for the Cull et' I'er•ia, and it
was confidently anticipated that ere long those seas
would be perfeetly clear of these daring marauders.

The situation of the manufacturing dictriets in Scot-
land is awful in the extreme. The people hare given
way to the counsels of their enemi(e, anal have adopted
a course which can yield them no ponifl, adromtage,
but w'iich, unless promptly abandoned, must increase
their sufferings, and bring down the heaviest calamities
upon the country. Cessation from work ran be uo remedy
fur any distress, still less for political grievances. It is
as senseless as the folly of the child, who refuses his din-
ner because he has jest been seoldril, or lets been denied
what Le asked. But it is far more mischievous. The
child is flogged into appetite and wisdom ; but bodies
of men, who have lost the love and the habits of hicks-
try, are not so easily amenable to their reason. There may
be a delusive sense of grandenr in the desperate resolu-
tion suddenly taken by thousands of starving them-
selves ?meetly to death; but it is the grandeur of in-
sanity, full of wildness and peril. It is insane, be-
cause it cannot be realised. Indolence, indeed. may
be deemed an enjoyment fur a time, but hunger will
soon appear a torment. borne cheerfully the first
day—sullenly the second. it will burst the third
in plunder and outrage. The self-devoted rietints will
become public depredators and assassins. The country
will then be called upon to act in her own defence. Those
who were pitied in their sufferings, most he repressed in
their devastations. They will have lost that claim to
relief which every feeling heart could not before deny
I them. Nay, they will have even rendered the attain-
meat and administration of any kind of relief imeprse-
ticahle. The musket and the sword will then become
in lawful use ; and the shedding of native blood, in-
stead of reciting, as on a late occasion, an universal
feeling of indignation, will appear, to the Low as
to the High, the only mode of rescuing them a
from the horrors of a common massacre. Such must
be the consequences of the conduct adopted by the
Swatch manufacturers. Their views are, no doubt,
very different. They are sincere in their profes-
sions of peat, and in the detestatidn which they
express for robbery and murder. Bat they know
not the force of man wants. They know net
yet that hunger, as it acts upon the brute part of
oar being. minces man to the level, the fury, and the
ferocity of the Brute. They mar tell us. as 'WAIL
said to the prophet, " are weilogs that we should do so ?"
Bet if they depart net from the error of their ways, they
will soon but too fatally discover, and the country will
also but too deep fret. that if self-indicted famine has
nut made them dogs," it has turned them into tilers.

" Since I wrote you last affairs are grown worse; a
party of Veterans who were escorting to prison a man
who was caught in the act of pulling down the Govern-
or's Proclamation, were nearly surrounded by the mob,
who made an attempt to rescue the prisoner. The
corporal, who commanded the guard, cautioned the mob
to desist, but without effect, and finding themselves in a
perilous situation, fired two shots, which, instead of hat--
ing the desired effect, only irritated then, to further acts ;
of riolener. At length the party were obliged to Ere,
which was the cause of a woman being wounded in the
neck, but nut as yet mortal ; upon which the whole of

taken place near lirlsy!!1, on the river Carron, between I
sixty rioters atil nisteteen hussars, and about nine of
