LONDON, April 21.--For some wear.
past there has been feeling OF growing

portions of the British army. This feel

about year ago when The second battal

were ordered to Bermuda But this
morning there is renewed aud very
great excitement in military circles
caused by mulinous demonstrations, in
almost every particular similar to that
which caused the second battalion of the

lantry guardsmcn of England, the
famous British Grenadicrs" who are in
revolt.
The third battalion of grcnadicrguards.
who are at present quartcred at Chelsea
barracks, III this city, were ordered to
parade in full marching order at Soclock
this morning. The men who have bccnin a
sulIcn frame OF mind for some time past
refused to obey. The officers of the bat,
TALON held Il hurried consultation. The
leading non-commiSsioncd officers in pur.
suance OF these orders attempted to rca.
son with the mutlneers and to persuade
them to tun out and parade and not to
bring any more disgrace upon the dis.
tngnlshcd corps to which they be.
Ongcd.
The arguments of the non-comms
stoned officers eventually had some
effect upon the angry privates, and after
a long period Of waiting four compan-
les ot the third battalion of grenadicrs
struggled slowly and with every
mark of outward discomfort upon
the parade ground of Chelsea bar
racks. The remaining companies
however refused to leave their rooms in
the barracks. The men having the longest
terms OF service we're placed under arrest
and an investigation into the cause OF
the nutlny was commenced, in order
that preliminary report upon the sAbjcct
may be placed before the commander in

conduct, sad that the orders to parade

they have been long subjected to a series Of
