LONDON, Nov. 80.
The Paris papers Of Thursday and
Friday, give us accounts of some deplor-
able disorders which Had occurred nj Ly-
ons on the Goth and 2lst inst.--These
scenes of riot and bloodshed originated
in the distress Of the workmen employed
in the silk manufacturers ofthat city, and
had no political object. Their formida-
bic and alarming character depended on
The numbers, diciplne, aud arms of the
mutineers. After preluding by some dis
turbances on the Goth, they descended on
the 2lst from the higher town to the a
mount of 10 or $4,000 the most of them
armed with muskets, and many of them
wearing the uniform of the National
Guard. The number of regular troops
in the garrison was inadequate TO quell
such tumult. The National Guard of
the higher classes was called out to dis
perse the rioters but the latter 80 far
from yielding to the summons Of the au-
to retire to their homes, fred
upon the Guard. Several discharges
took place on both sides, and occasioned
great slaughter. The riotous workmen
got into the houses and fred on the Ma
tional Guard and troops of the line from
the windows. The Prefect and the Gen.
eral in Command Of the Garrison, wish
ing to stop the effusion of blood, pro-
ceeded among the crowd of the rioters,
at the request of some oftheir number,
and were taken prisoners. The Gene
raj Officer second in command threaten
ed to shoot the persons who came to
propose terms unless the prisoners were
released. This threat had the desired
effect, and the Prefect and the General
we're set at liberty.
A great number Of persons on both
ides have been killed or wounded : the
ioters had still two pieces of cannon be-
onging to the National Guard, but their
was exhausted When the
courier left Lyons on the 2lst, they were
IN their quarters by regular
tOops. The garrison is 5000 strong.
and reinforcements might be hourly exs
pected.
The Government has announced in |
he Moniteur, and at the Exchange, that
hese tumults have no political charac-
Ter, and we see no good reason to doubt
heir assertion,
The Minister Of War and the Kings
ION had set out from Paris for Lyons,
IN the oath.
We regret that want Of room prevents
Is from entering more at length into
he details of these lamentable disorders.
