The Serjeant and Deputy-aer ant, w i t h their assistants, were at the Gloucester Colle-bunse. No effort whatever was made to force s n entrance into the house of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. Sir Fe3scis was at home all night. The disposition of Sir Faascis to yield obedience to an y legal authority is expressed as unequivocally an,! uniformly as his resolution to resist what he con eelvts to be an illegal warrant. His declared purpose to compromise the rights and liberties of his cv:vrymen, by conceding to an authority which nould set those rights and liberties at nought. _ A . l ett er, we understand, has been written by Sir TIANC!S BURDETT to the SPEAKER of the House of c a n.ons, stating his reasons for not yielding obedi. v , cc t o she warrant of the latter. It will probably be the first business which the House will take into its ccoidx.tuon this day. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, APRIL 9. IVCr: OF S POCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. S per C.

In addition to the preceding details, we hasten to Lay before our Readers the following particulars of the Commitment of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT to the Tower: A Cabinet Council was held last night to delibe rate, as it is said, on the subject of the SPEAKER'S &nut, Of their precise determination we are ig. :orant, but it is understood that some communica tcn made in consequence at an early hour this =riling to the Officers of the House of Commons, wO were in waiting at the Gloucester Coffee-house. About ten o'clock this morning the Horse Guards all Cavalry cleared the front of the Baronet's house comrleto!y, with their sabres, and a regiment of foot !vas then drawn up, and formed opposite the door. The °filters of the House of • Commons made their appearance immediately after, armed with sticks, iron cows, &c. &c. &c. and proceeded to burst open the strict door, and force up the windows of the Hall Parlt,urs : the latter were shut down by the people inside, as fast as those outside pushed them up. On the door being broken, the OfE. ern cf the House of Commons rushed into the Mall, followed by about fifty of the Guards, with Era! Fayonets, when a conflict of short duration en- sled bctween the friends of Sir FRANCIS, the Servants and Constables, who were in the Hall, on the ono tart, and the Milit:zy and Servants of the House of Commons on the other. This disturbance ceased almost instantaneously on Sir Pita Nets making his appearance and surrendering himself to the SERJEANT at rams, his words were (looking at the broken doors and windows) 44 This is all I want. Gentlemen, I "surrender to superior force !" A liackney-coach which was in readiness was then 1.. up to the door, and Sir FRANCIS stepped inko t!, accompanied by his brother Mr. JoNLs BURDETT, and anothcr friend. Mr. COLEMAN, the Serjeant at Arms, with his assistant, then entered the coach, tr)th immediatel7 drove off, preceded and followed, rr rather surrounded, by the whole Regiment of. Lit - e Guards and the 15th Dragoons. Tht mii:e taken wits up Albemarle -street, into Bond-street, torn Oxford-street into-) Great Portland-street, and °ln ward along the New Road, by the Angel at !sling dawn the City Road and through the Mlnories. TWELVE O'CLOCK. Multitudes of people are crowding eastward to wards the Tower, and the troops which were in the rt'Atiewrbood of the City, are hastening to Tower hit All the shops in Holbown, theapsidev &c. ate sh ut , and the most serious apprehensions are 'etner li,cl tor the consequences. HALF PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK. St exactly twenty MifititeS after twelve o'clock the fr:alcade, with Sir Fanrcils Botuarr, arrived at the -4 wtt• ";:hey came up Aldgate-street ) owl down tlt Minories, ac:oss Tower-bilk, preceded by the thvm• commanding the Royal Horse Guards the circuitous route whisk the troops " 4 . taken, the con course on T ower Hill and the ad• streets was immense. Nor were they restrained h! military force from hooting, hissing, and crying " Brazen. for ever," &c. although in some in_ 143 ces several persons were severely hurt and bruised bY the Life Guards. carnage, it FRANCIS sat Mt the left hand t } . (l-.1 With his back to the horses. He looked out of "nidow occasionally,with his hat off, but did nqt in "Intstaace return the salutations with which he was retied .. by the populace. Wbea the coach drew up at the Barrier-gate of the "cuter, it was surrounded as before by the Life ‘=..-f!, the Word Blues being at the save time dram up in their rein two deep. ire wtte four persons altogether in the coach, including Sir FRANCIL—They entered the Tower in a body. Sir FRANCIS seemed firm and collected. The crowd continued to assemble in every direction, and the troops still remained stationary when this Paper went to press. ONE O'CLOCK. At this hour an order was given for the 15th Light Dragoons to return to their quarters; and the Heavy Horse, with the exception of about two hundred and fifty, immediately followei. The whole of the Foot Guards remained. When the 15th were passing they were cheered partially, having behaved with verygreat forbearance. We are much concerned, however, to add, that as they returned through. Crotched Friars, they were most dreadfully assailed by the populace with brick bats, stones, &c. Scc. which at last provoked some of them to fire, when unhappily several people were wounded, and three shot dead. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. In all the route of the military the streets are crowded beyond all possibility of description—all the shops are shut up, and the most dreadful alarm pre vails.—GoD grant that the tumult may speedily sub side, which we hope it will, now that the dragoons have retired. At one o'clock, Mr. Rem the Magistrate, arrived at the Tower to endeavour to persuade the people to disperse ; and also, as we understand, to read the Riot Act, should his exhortations lot be productive of the desired effect. All the ramparts of the Tower are covered with military. TWO O'CLOCK. Three men have passed up the ltlinories in a hack-' ney-coach, all wounded with bullets, on their way to the London Hospital. Sevtral men were shot, and fell at the bottom of Billiter-lane, Fenchurch-street ; but whether they are dead or not, we could not ascer tain. A boot-maker standing at his shop in Fen church -street, received a ball through his body, and fell.—At this moment the City is in great commotion. The principal part of the guards that escorted Sir FRANCIS BURDETT have retired amidst the hisses of the populace, and the thinking part of the populace are withdrawing fast. Report says seven people have received bullets in them ; how many out of them are dangerously wounded we c*nnot learn. THREE O'CLOCK. -.lle town still continues in a state of uproar. The people are now quitting the East and pressing to wards the West end of the town. Numerous parties, however, are moving about Tower-hill in various disections, and loud hi their expressions of disappro batio n. Every embrasure in the Tower has a gun mounted in it, and the Artillery-men are seen on the ramparts with their port fires. Whenever an Officer is seen at any of the port-holes, he is saluted with cries of— f. BuitpErr for ever." A strong guard of the Vete ran Battalion stands immediately within the palisadoe gate, outside of the ditch. several of the wounded have been conveyed into different houses on Tower-hill, and others have been received into the Hospitals. The Royal Bucks (King's Own), and Royal Perth shire regiments of Militia, marched from Dover yesterday aftern•on, at four o'clock, for Canterbury, on their way to London ; in consequence of an Ex press ordering these regiments to march directly. Lord and Lady CASTLEREAGH left their house in King -street , on Saturday, at four o'clock, and did not again return. Last night an American Messenger reached town with dispatches from General ARMSTRONG, at Paris, to Mr. Petquxxer, the American Minister. He came from Dieppe in a Flag of 'Tice, and was landed at Dover yesterday morning. A letter from Captain PATSON, of the ship Henry Morris, dated Montserrat, 26th February, to Messrs. Wmtutsts and WILSON, at Liverpool, says, " The Eleanor, from London, arrived here on the 25th, and brought the unpleas ant intelligence, that the greater part of the Cork feet had been destroyed by the eniemy.” - - The TUAII sloop of war, (the arrivwl of which was announced in the STAR of Thursday,) on her passage lima off the Island of P.ermuclit, spoke his Majesty's sloop Goal, Captain PANG, who informed her, that two dap before he fell in with a vessel from that island, who told him that the Timms schooner, of six guns, Lieutenant's name unknown, had fallen in with and captused a ,Batavian East Indianian, of 10 guns, said to be worth 4(X),000 dollars., The East India man hoisted American colours ; upon as shot being fired from the aclooner, she hauled &am the Amen , tee colours. hoisted Batavian, and returned a broad dde ; when, after An action of cis hours, she struck to the schooner. She proved to be a ship from Bata ia, bound to America, having on board Admiral! H A * T SINK (who was desperately wounded) with all j hi. property. The THAW brought home only four, private letters. and these in answer to four she had carried out. Two divisions of Russian seamen arrived at Frank fort on the 22d and 25th ult. and on the following day they were new clothed, and provided for the prose cution of their journey. The crews of the flotilla at Trieste and Venice are to return home through Aus• t trio. A carter, named Santer, in the employ of Mr. BAKER, of Beckley, in Sussex, was on Monday com mitted to Horsham Gaol, for having poured oil. of vitriol into the mouths of five cart horses. It seems he was induced to this cruelty by a spirit of revenge, in consequence of having received notice to quit his master's service, and that the horses might be made to l ose t k e i g Ge n- i n:ion under the care of his successor. • NA PAL lODELLIGSNOff.

They are occupied with the derail': the civil ceremony of the Imperial marriage. Letters from Cnrunna of the 29th ult. state chit the Gallicians considered themselves for the present in a stave of security, and considerable industry was employed in the works undertaken for the defence of that part of the count: y, both in the neighbourhood of the port and at the defiles of Montforte and Villa franca. Cadiz papers to the 22d. ult. mention some sue. cesses of the Patriots.at two extremities of the Penin sula, the one among the mountains at Ronda, where 900 Frenchmen were 101 ed, and the other is the cinity of Pamplona, when 1000 of the enemy were defeated. Letters from Lisbon of the 26th of the same month notice an action between the advanced guard of Ka, mans and Sebastiani, when a cinantity of cattle ca the road to Merida was rescued from the hands at the invaders. Letters from Amsterdam of the 3d instant, state that the spirits of the people were less dejected, al though the exactions of the French were continued.— Comaderable difficulties still obstructed the inter course of trade. and it was net even allowed to trans port merchandise from one province to another.— The exchange was reduced. Dispatches were on Saturday received from 1,,0rd WELt.tmoToti. The British head-quarters continued at Visco, and nothing of importance had occurred. We have received information from Cadiz, which accounts for the failure of the late sortie from the isle of Leon, in a manner different from that stated in the Spanish papers. The objects of attack, we under stand, were four batteries erecting at the top of the Bay. It was intended to carry these by storm ; and 600 seamen who were to have gone in boats, an English regiment, and some Spanish troops, were ap. pointed to this service. The military had scarcely passed the outworks when a rocket was dischatlea from the island, and some sentinels deserted. The British (a Highland) regiment, which composed the advance, soon after fell in with the enemy, and sus tained some loss, upwards of forty being killed of wounded. The Spaniards who were to hive co-ope rated in the attack, it is said, were not ready for three hours after the time fired for moving forward. The inhabitants of Cadiz were beginning to feel the incon venience of being so closely invested. Provisions were becoming scarce and dear ; beef was sold et 2s. 6d. a pound, and fowls at 20s. a couple. On Saturday, the purser of the country ship Boyne arrived at the East-India House, with the intelligence of the arrival off Portsmouth, of the following ce ships, viz.—The General Stuart, and Union, and country ships Warren Hastings, Boyne, and Providence also. the Louisa, from the Cape of Good Hope--These ships bring no news, as they sailed from Madras in October, previous to the RATTLESNAKE stoop of wat, under convoy of the DOVER and CORNWALLIS frigates, with stores for the Cape of Good Hope, where they arrived the 25th December ; left there 14th January, under convoy of the Itnesnoasz, touched at St. He lena, and sailed from thence the 10th February. The Boyne, in passing through the Needles, struck several times, but no great damage was apprehended. The Streatham was taking in provisions ar the Cape for St. Helena. The brig Shaw, which Arrived on Wednesday at Liverpool, fell in with, en the 16th ult. the Albion, Captain KIRBY, of London, from New Brunswkk, which had upset in a heavy gale on the 6th of Fe bruary, but some time after righted ; the Captain and two seamen, the only survivors out of a crew of thirteen, were in such an emaciated state, that when the Shaw came alongside, they were not able to gee into the boat, baring been S 8 days without food.— They bad made a, temporary wood-hut, well secured' to the rigging, but open at the top, and were found there chewing the bark of a spar, which had been their principal support. *For seven days they hair been without water, and their misery had been aut. mented by seeing their fellow-sufferers dying &i4l for want. Accounts from Port.au.Prince, in Hayti, that on Friday the 22d of December, a barge ar s rir l a there with ten English seamen, who had escaped from Gonaivea. They reported, that they were part of crew of 25, belonging to a brig which sailed from London with a cargo of arms and ammunition fat Cadiz ; but instead of proceeding to her destination, she shaped a course for Caps Francois; on her anis val at which port she was .consigned to his Serene Highness Monseigneur CHIUSTOPHI4 as being actually his property. With the brig were also put into his hands the arms and. ammunition. Soon after the brig was dispatched to Gonaives, where she hoisted the flag of Curets - torus. The day on which this change of colours happened, the English sailors ex. ' pressed their dissatisfaction at the occurrence, and represented to CHRISTOPHE I that by serving in his marine they would violate the laws of their country, and subject themselves to punishment. This remon strance Wag ineffectual, the men prerred risking their lives to a violation oftheir allegiance, and car• ried off a barge, in which they arrived at Port.an. Prince.
