LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The fast sailing ship Hector, Capt.
Gillender , arrived last evening in 32
days from Liverpool. Uapt. G. has
favored the .editors of the Mercantile .
Advertiser with Liverpool papers to
the 13th, and London to the lOih of
April, inclusive. Also, Lloyd's Lists
to the 8lh. .
Home farther disturbances had
trkeb "t)Iace at Glasgow, Paisley,
Greenock, &c. At no time since
the be?;iuiug; of Radicalism , had there
been such a general apprehension
from iii.it quarter. SerioQs alarms
existed nt Manchester, and Iroops
"were ordered there to prevent an ex
pected riot.
AtGlasgow, Paisley, and all the.
fteigfi boring country for 12 miles
tutfid, placards were placed on the
vails addressed to the people of
fcngland, Ireland, and Scotland,;
calling upon them to come forward j
immediately, and effect by force a
, revolution in the government, and :
enjoining the manufactures to abstain
work ftora the 1st of April.
All the weavers, and other workmen
iu Glasgow, Paisley, afnd^he neigh
boring country im mediately struck
work, and the streets were covereil
with crowds of the idle and discon
tented. The tftaglstffetes uf Glas
gow had offered a reward of 500/.
and the government a further reward
of 500/. tor the authors vt printers oi
these inflammatory papers. The
troops were in motion, and some
skirmishing had taken place. Sever
al had been killed and others wourid
? ed. At the last accodnts, the weav- .(
efrs in Glasgow aod paisley had'
generally relmn-d to their looms,
as the want of leadersdeprived them
of all confidence, tod the power of
ihe military pointed out to them the
hopelessness of their cause.
On the 8th, in crowd assembled ol ?
Greenock, to Witness t lie arrival of 5
prisoners who were brought in from
Paisley, at 6 hi the afternoon, by
the Por I Glasgow volunteers. When
file volunteers wete returning, they
began to insult, and pelt them with
0 tones and mud. * . i
The volunteers fired 2 shot, which
tnrly exasperated them the move.~?
The parly were then obliged to Are
in earnest, and continued a running
fiio till they got ocit of Cartsdike* ?
Nine of the wounded Weto taken to
the hospital, of whom 4 had died,
and the rest dangerous; five more
were killed hi the to * ik Twenty in
all were killed and. wounded. They
tore down the iron railing of a house>
arid with the arm* thus procured*
preceded by a piper* in the evening
^toif to attack Port Glasgow-^-but
after proceeding to the house of Mr.
Gemrrell, the mob returned. They
^pjroke open the doors of the bride
well, and let at liberty the radical
prisoners, but** none others. Next
morning all was quiet? though luA

"^skirts. r ' ! 1

All the additional information fur
nished in this paper from the disturb*
ed district of Scotland, is contained
in the following, article from It Glas
gow paper of Saturday the 13th of
April. r / !
"Thursday night, at half past
teu, a strong party of Military, con
sisting of a troop of Hussarfe a com
pany of Artillery, with a field piece
and waggon, 30 of the tine brigade
mounted on two spring , waggons,
drawn by four horses each, the Ed-|
in burgh troops, about 100 strong,
under the command of sir John Hope,
and 20 of the Glasgow light horse,
proceeded to Kilmarnock* n They
arrived At half liast three, ami were
joined* by a party of th6 battalion
from Ayr> when, after taking pos
session, eleven prisoners, against
whom warrants had been issued by;
.the Lord advocate, were lodged Inl
the town hall. In the mean time,
the Glasgow troops and a party of
Hussaffc, rtfter taking possession of
Galston and New Mills, sent five
prisoners to Ayr. . The ?dinbugh
i roop were left at Kilmarnock with
Hie charge of the prisoners* The,
others returned to Glasgow*
"Could we! give a view of the
actual situation of the country for
many miles round this city, such as
it is, could scarcely be credited*}?
We stinty mention one fact regarding
Galston, which, shews the audacity
of the radicals in a striking point of
view ; A respectable gentleman, last
week, on his way to tbis city, in
passing through that village, saw, in
hrodd day light, several individuals
sitting at their doors, deliberately
sharpening their pikes ; and such, he
learned, was the power of the radi*
cals there, that not an individual
durst open his moutb, who was of a
different way of thinking frdm them
selves f and he further learned, thai
the printipto was predominant in ai>
the surrounding Villages. Scarcely
a day has passed during this week,
but numbers of tlie radical leader*
have been apprehended in this dis-l
trict, and committed to prison. I

The Queen. ? The report of the
speedy arrival of the Queen, is still
more strongly prevalent, and is now
combined with certain rumors of
consequent changes in Adminitra
tion. We are still incredulous as to
the intention of her Majesty to re
visrt this country, and aTe yet lrss
inclirtded to give credit to any iu
muurs of Ministerial Changes. It
is said tliat the i^ueen has appoint
ed Mr. Brougham her attorney-gen
eral, and has invested him also \vitli
some other authority, winch she is
understood to have a right io dele
gate, but which has not been suffici
ently explained. In the certainty of
her majesty's actual return^ it is un
derstood that some investigations
will positively takts place> winch it
was determined to avoids unless fier
own act af)d deed might render them
absolutely necessary on grounds of
the utmost importance.

stand that onr Ambassador h as re

the formality of faking leave of the i
