DISTURBANGES IN GLASGOW. ...48,.. Between Saturday and Sunday morning there was posted upon the walls of Glasgow, Paisley, and in all the manufacturing towns and villages for a dozen miles round, an Address to the People of England, Ireland, and Scotland, calling upon them to come forward instantly, and to effect, by force if resisted, a revolution in the government. This paper is supposed to have been printed in England; and we should suppose it of English composition, from its dwelling much upon Magna Charta and the Bill of 'tights, in which Scotland has no interest. It is probable, then, that this same Address has been circulated through the manufacturing, districts of England ; and the accounts of its etlects there are looked for with much anxiety by both loyal and disloyal in this part of the country. The Magistrates have issued the following I'ItOCLANIA FION, " By tic Lord Provost aud Magistrates' of flu: City of Glasgow, the Sites iff ty .

Two men al e lodged in the police-office for sticking up the radical addles, on Sunday morning, and two others are also confined there for tearing doon the Proclamation of the magistrates out Sunday evening. The following is a copy of the Address referred to above : ADDRESS TO IHE INHABITANTS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. F r i e nd s and Countrymen,—Roused from that torpid slate in which we have been stunk fur so wavy years, we are at length compelled, from the extremity of our sof triiirs, and the contempt heaped upon one petitions for redress, to as.ert our rights, at the hazard of our lives ; and pr to t!te world the real motives, which, it' not nu•tervseuted desioim; men, would have muted all ianks—have reduced us to tale up al ins for the redress of our common fp ievances. The numerous public meetings held tin oust:tont the country has demonstrated to you, that the interests of all classes are 00 same. That the protection of the life and psopert; , of the rich maul i, toe interest of the poor num, and, in teltiln, it is the lute, est of the rich to protect the poor from the iron grasp of despotism; tor, when its victims are exhausted i • the lower circles, there 14 no as- %mance but that its ravages will be continued in the tip per; for, once set in motion, it will continue to move till a soirees-ion of ricuots fad. Our principles are few, and founded on the basis of our Constitiltion, whirl' a ere purchased by the dearest blood of our ancestors, :mil which we swear to traii,mit 10 pos terity or perish in the attempt. Equality of tights (slot of property) is the object for whiten we con.. tend, and wli eh we consider as the only security tor our liberties and lives. Let us show to the world that we are not that lawless, sanguinary rabble, N hick our oppressors would persuade the higher circles we are—hut brave and generrms peo ple, determined to be free. Liberty or death is our motto, and we have sworu to returu home in triumph—or to re. turn no snore ! Soldiers,—Shull you, countrymen, bound, by the sacred obligation of an oath, to defend your country and your ling from enemies, whether foreign or domestic, plunge your bayonets into the bosoms of fathers and brothers, mid at wire sacrifice at the shrine of milit iry despotism, to the relenting orders of a cruel faction, those feelings which you hold in corn with the rest of mankind 2—Soldiers! turn your eyes toward Spain, and there behold the happy effects resulting from the anion of soldiers and citizens. Look to that quarter, and there behold the yoke of hated despotism, broke by the unanimous wish of the people and t h e soldiery, happily accomplished wituout bloodshed. And shall you, who taught those soldiers to light the battles of liberty, re fuse to tight thosd of your own couutry 2 Forbid it, Hea. r,n I Come forward their at time, mid free your country ■nd your King from the power of those Butt have held them tuns, too long in thraldom. Friends arid Countrymen,--The eventful period has now arrived when the services of all will be required fur the fun. warding of air object so universally wished, arid so absolutely necessary. Come forward, then, and assist those who have be g un in the completion of so arduous u task, rind support the laudable efforts sshich we are about to make to restore to Britons those rights consecrated to them by magna Charta nod the Bill of Rights, and sweep from our shores the cur ruiniun which has degraded us below the di g nity of mum Owing to the misrepresentations which have gone abroad with regard to our intentions, we think it indispensably De. I cessary to declare inviolable all public arid private property. And we hereby call upon all Justices of the Peace, and all others, to suppress pillage and plunder of every description ; and to endeavour to secure those guilty of such (silences, that they may receive that punishment which such vtoiations of justice demand. In the present state of affairs, and during the continuation of so 11111 l nentous a struggle, we earnestly request of a ll to desist from their labour, from and after this day, the Ist of April; and attend a holly to the recovery of their rights, arid consider it as the duty of every man nut to recommence until he is in possession of those ri g hts which distinguish the freeman from the slave, viz., that of g iving consent to the laws by which lie is to be g overned. We, therefore, reeoll3- mend to the proprietors of public works, old .all oilier., to stop the one, and shot up the other, until order is restored, us we will he accountable for im 4una,r, which may be ustained, arid which, alter this public bitimation, they can have is-+ claim to.

Many corps have been observed drilling in this nei t ;libourhood for Slone nights past, and even during the day. In some places strangers have taken pos session of smiths' shops, who immediately fell to work in manufacturing pikes, &c. The times arc perilous in the extreme. We do not oxagger.ite when we say there ari., at this moment, 60,000 persons in this city and the stirrutinaini: towns and villages, who have struck work ; many of these, not a doubt remains, have been compelled to join this ilighly illegal combination by threats; such an immense Ludy cannot, however, long remain inactive. if strong measures be not instantly resorted to, it is impossible to say when and where the mischief will end. All iron foundry was last night broken into, in the Gallowgate, and a number of files, &c. carried off. If lire-arms were their object, they were for tunately disappointed, as these had previously been budged in a place of safety. Iv
