MAJOR mouitisus TO RIR JAMES LYON.

26tli April. IMO.
Sta—l regret to state that a disturbance too► place bete
yesterday. under the following circumstances :
Flee privates of the 7th Dragoon Guards were at thellull's
Head public-house between the hours of five and six o'clock
in the afternoon, when some men, who were drinking in the
same room, commenced singing disloyal songs, giving dis-
loyal toasts. throwing about the beer. width fell on the sol-
diers, and further conducting tormseives in a manner the
most likely to incur their displeasure—but instead of resent-
ing these acts in the way the disaffected expected, the sol-
diers rose. sod were proceeding into soother roam to @veld
such annoyance, when they were immediately attacked by
' numbers, with every weapon they could get hold of, and
were so rapidly assisted by others from other public horses,
that I have no doubt it was a preconcerted plan against the
military, the more especially as a person mentioned to a Dra-
goon about five hours previously, that the soldiers would
suffer In the course of the et • g for what had occurred at
the White Horse public-house the preceding evening, sad
which originated much in the same n.anner as Cite outrage of
yes'erday. I was not here when the dist:whosee took place,
but on my arrival soon after. I found that every exertion had
been made by Cornet Wright and Troop Quarter-Master
Polity, assisted by Captain ('hippendale, to repress the tu-
mult, and the military were soon in their respective barracks.
A corporal of the 7th Dragoon Guards. who had proceeded
to the spot during the height of the affray. with a file of the
guard to bring sus) the Dragoons, received a wound in the
forehead from one of the assailants, who ass armed with a
carving-knife: three of the privates have experienced some
Injury, and *sterol persons of the town have, I understand,
also suffered, but not any of them, that I have been able to
ascertain, are In a dangerous state.
I have the koaour to Iw, Sir. your uhediont humble servant,
W. M. Mune owe. Major and Cspt. 7th Drag. Guards.
