We hear from Alloa, in Scotland, that on Friday was
se'nnight, the coalers of that and two or three adjacent
parishes assembled in a very tumultuous manner, to prevent
the settlement of Mr. James Sim to be minister of Alloa,
which had been appointed to be that day; they rung the
Church bell from morning 'till night, and after noon
displayed a flag from the steeple, in token of victory, none
offering to oppose them. But we are told, that three
companies of the military have since been ordered to that
place, to curb the insolence of these rioters . . .
