Yeeteelay aft«rimun, at four o'clock. the inhabitants
were thrown into considerably alarm and confusion, by
a report that large bodies of rioters were marrhing in
c% ere direction for the purpose of attacking the rity.
'1 he Ilitssars, Rifle Brigade, and 13th Regiusent of Foist,
immediately marched uiT to dithoent entrances of the
town, but returned nithin an Mint, the alarm protite;
to lie groundless. At ten o'clock the bugles again
se:trailed to arms, when the troops were azain mustered.
The volunteers repaired with alacrity to their different
ports, hut the result proved the sense.
The chief cause of the alarm was an allegation that
the rioter, from every town and hamlet in Itetifrewshire
were about to iiiseharge themselves (limn our devoted
04y. There was an exceeding panic. The shops were
shut with astonishing celerity : and the titles stationed
themselves at their sipper windows to behold the rumbas
whirl, ens expected in the street. Nu insurgents how-
ever appeared.
For the lee two days there has scarcely been any lin-
site•ss alone; the silver nee is extremely %verve, moil
eyen the busters are nut transacting a tenth of their
usual business.
Several people were apprehended last night, elinrged
with al.using the yeomanry, hussars, and an extra body
of patrole in the streets, consisting or about be% rfity
under the direction of the Commiseioner of Police; stool
eleven men, supposed to be radicals, vete, by the orders
of a Justice of the Peace, lUdged in the garrison, by Ca-
anemn, Prow. and Where, and sultgeoptently sent will'
eat *mitt to the Polite-445re. A pike Still Sil;11111 javelin,
ettehttieafly tailed a wasp. were also 'mune the captured.
Yesterday morning the greater pert of the men, who
bad bee• cleated by their besotted leaders, returned to
their work. We hear front a curresponident, whose in.
fornation we have always found accurate, that the mem-
bers of the rnion Societies consider thruisels es es emu-
pletidy hoaxed by their delegates; and arc nut likely to
repose confidence sn att.+ madmen any more.
. About sloe o'clock. a company of riflemen and a few
Inssars went through Bridgetown and Calton, and seized
e:eve.i of the leading rimers, and brought them into
the barrack.. The military were pelted with stones
and mud by the eveed. but they did not think it worth
while to retaliate. This judicious seixere will doubt-
less be productive of salutary enneequencee. It has an-
Dihilated the power of the " Committee of Organi-
zation."
Yesterday Calton and Bridgetown were kept in a con-
stant ferment, by magnificent accounts of victories oh-
taineil in liilsyth. Paisley, and other strong holds of
the disatfeced. At six o'clock in the erenine an at-
tempt was made to muster an armed force. A drum wits
sent through Brillgtisty n, and. from seven to eight Weigel:,
muskets were fired at intervals, apparently as signals.—
One of the standards, used at Clavknons, Was unfurled
in North Tobago-street. At half-past seven two other !
banners were exhibited on the Dahuarnock road. An
arestrate correspondent counted the numbers assembled,
anal found that the whole, front Calton anal Bridgetown,
emontsteol to about tea hundred men, of %shims about
one half were armed with pikes, blunderbusses, or pis-
tols. rinitine their force so contemptible. they swan
after skulked home, and we understend that the must
active have this moraine absconded.
During the period of the muster, a petty of men and
keys went to different houses and took away some tire-
obelus, and the Berms field Tell-bar was stint seainit
four of the hussars, who were on their return trees

Green Dike.
The wretches on their way stopped at every door, and
with terrible imprecation, ordered the tneu to turn out.

40 radicals, untied with guns, pistols, pikes, etc. appa-

Condorrat, about ten miles east from this city. in mili-
tary order. It is pruliasle they are the same party who
had the action with the cavalry in !Sonny-inuir. Be-
tween Tuesday niirlit and Wednesday morning, the
smiths' shops in said village were taken possession of hr

took refuge in adinining glens and woods, were wounded
and taken. '!'hey had themselves wholly to blame for,
the wounds they received. as they were repeatedly called
on to surrender, and the odie:Ts did every thing in their
power to prevent the solider' from firing. Of the aims
who were taken. three were the manufacturers of pikes
—the other cotton-spintiers. The woutrikod were left at
Austen-liar, it being thought, f the state of their
wounds, improper to remise them. It is reported, that
hail the party arrived an hour sooner, they would have
i found a nostilier at drill, as it is notorious drat there are
above 3011 rioters in that vicinity. ?ions of the military
were hurt. .

We believe we may congratulate tie public on the
prospect of a speedy termination to our revialosionory
uutrag••s. The pulicluies measures taken by the civil
authorities, the powerful military force brought to hear
with .itch irruniptitude on this point, anu the discourag-
ing ac.:uittits from England, liare all contributed to
break a conspiracy which appears to have been more
extensive than almost any one itua2ineil. flail the Int-
coine to any head in this district, its effects would
have beets felt far and wide ; and though the march of
so many yeomanry to this quarter, at this season of the
year, nut's necessarily be attended with touch inconve-
nience, they most consider it not as a local, but a na-
tional matter, and that on this spot they are securing
their own tranquillity.

. .
When we speak of the extent of this conspiracy, we
alisde merely to the numbers who wrir ready to coolie
out if any prospect of !-Itecess had presented itself; but
the want of leaders deprived them of all confidence. and
the power of the military pointed out to thrm the hope-
lessness of their cause, and the destruction that awAited
them.

The people in Ibis part of the country hare been com-
pletely delnded and duped by the English emissaries,
who assured them of a sintultanemis movement over the
whole of Lancashire and west of Yorkshire; but, in place
of that, there has been merely a small assettl'olage at
Huddersfield, which il;sperse.l, on finding there was to
he no eu-operation; and by letters from 3i rtchester this
tuornieg, all was quitness there.
Our people were also promised leaders, but none hay-
ing appeared, the cut JJJJJ and wits 0.0 illy conferred on
the greatest boaster, particularly if he heel ever beret iu
the army. Thus, a discharged soldier, of the name of
Baird, at Condorrat, boasted of his having a hundred
men in that village, ready to turn out at his command,
on any service, however desperate ; and he propos:Nl a
combined operation of 5011 men fir seizing upon the
Carron works, with all their implements of warfare. A
party accordingly marched from Glasgow fur this pur-
pose ; but, when they rime to Condorrat, Capt. Baird
could only torn out Nix men, and ten of those soon
sickened of the exploit, and went home. It is probable
that a untidier of the tilaignw people also Warned I for,
when the whole arrived at the general rendezvous at
Bonny- 1111 l ir, they are no; represented to have exceeded
thirty. Here, according to Bain!, they were to be)oin-
eil by the remainder of their forces from Kilayth, Saint
Nitilan's, Cituielon, and Falkirk ; hut none appeared,
and our wretched tilasgow rioters are now lying, serverel
of them wounded, in Stirling Cas:le, to await the dread-
ful punishment of the law.
In making these observations. we are aware that we
are no; acting up to the views of a number of our readers
in this place, for it appears to he a very generally re-
ceived opinion here, that the radical principles are too
widely spread, and too deeply rooted, to vanish' without
some explosion, and that time sooner it takes place the
better; but tie trust that matters will nut come to this
extremity, and that we shall won witness that inter-
change of good will and kind civility betwixt ail ranks
which were wont to distinguish our once happy Impute-
thou. It is obvious, however, that confidence cannot be
restored without the disaffected giving up their leaders.
Sir Thomas Bradford, the Cominautler of the Fortes
of Scotland, and the Loyd Advocate, have been here the
most par: of the week; and it is unnecessary to add, that
th..ir presence has been most beneficial.
The weavers both here and in Paisley have very rene-
ralty to their lawns, and the public works
'might lee ail going, but the proprietors have determined,
very properly, to adroit none till a thorough purification
is made.

The proprietort of the leer% rocks connected with
the cotton eitablisliment, an.l other truilmi, have, much
to their honour, entree.' into resuluti.lns to employ no
tratlesinan, oltltcler be bid excellence, who is not

peaceable man. This will do more to restore quiet in
this part ..f the country than any measure which could
possibly be adopted, and it was by the highly 'midi
operatives tll.ll the whole system of terror was en-
forced.

Italy yes:erday morning, we are told, that a party of
from forty to fifty men, supposed from Glasgow, armed
with pike>~ ii acts, the. appeared on the bank's of the
canal near Kirkintilloch. •and after waiting some time
apparently in expectation of being joined by others,
they threw aw.iy their arms, and disappeared. Some of
the amp; hare been since picked up.
The military base been kept on most harassing duty
of late.

'three of the prinripal radical loader% George Wash-
ington, Das itl tirahaus, and William Graham, were ap-
prehended last night, and, with a truuL containing
papers, lodged in the e Mice.
