SIR FRANCIS BURDETT LODOED IN TIM TOWlsle. The measures adopted on Sunday night for the prevention doll riot end disterbance, in the neigh. besaiteed of Sir F. Boartact'e house, in Piccadilly, were eureessfol. AU carts, carriages, &c. coining Wks the West.ead of the street. by layde-Perk anew, sod all, siossieg into the east end, were obliged to go round ; and thus the street was seen pied attend, by the civil sod military power, not even a feet passenger having bees permitted into the epees opposite the &roost's house. Sir FRAN. its Beastere remained at home all Sunday sight, and the Serjeset-et-Arms. Mr. COLMAN, the De puty.Serjeant, Mr. Ctextersow. with the Mrs ' Dellpf, WRIONT. loess, Suttee, BLAU, &C. cotatineed in Piccadilly, in elder to eiscate the SicxEstes warrant. About eleven last morning wet judged a favourable opportunity to make the attempt, and with that view they proceeded te his Wow, from the Gloucester Coffee-house. A laelder Was brought and placed against a window in the trout dining-room, ea the end floor, sad one or.she eesistables mounted it; but the shatters were cloned against him, and he was obliged to descend. The attempt to enter at the dining-moot window bevies failed, en entrance was effected at the kitchen window, in front, by ODDY sod J. Towesuseo, two of the petrole belonging to Bow -street, who free. open the door with an iron crow. After some Faculty. and travursing several dark pas eases, they found their way to the great hall, ' erlore they saw a linty Gentlemen, unit inquired of him whether Sir FRANCIS was at home? He ea. ewerede.:at Yes. Sir FaAWRIS is always at home." kle asked-04 Who are you ?" They answered, I=o 6 The Civil Power," and requevteil him to icing awls le Sir "'Beet's. with which he rea dily complied. and conducted them to the draw. tog-mote. where Sir FRANCIS was standing, at coaspoied by Lady BuaDarr. two young La dies. and a young Comities°, supposed is be his children and his brother. Mr. &maitre Jonas. of the patrol., who followed three and Towesuten, asked,“ Which is Sir FeAucts ?" Ifle answered, n I am be; who are you, and what do you want ?" ODDY replied,µ We are the civil. power, and are come to demand your person in the MOO of the Kiee."—Sir FRANCIS joked if the Sheriffs were iu attendance ? Oenv said, net that be knew of, but their eaters were. Sir PLUMS thell demanded their authority to enter his house. Oary, is answer, said, he should immediately see - it, and at that inatant the Serjeant-at•Arms and his Deputy catered the roam.—[For the conversation which ensued between him and the Serjeant, we wafer to our Report of his eitaminstiee, last night, in the House of Commeital..-Oztae and J. Towe ling's!) then laid hold of hint by each arm, and said be was their Prisourr. He asked for his hat, and. addiessiag himself to the *lusty irstleinen. said, " A. farce is used I most ge." He then kissed Lady Beepece, and parted with his family as if he was only leaving town for his country seat. His Mother. Mr. Uneven. Jostles, said nothing but dearth should part them. and insisted upon accom panying him, and they went down stairs. A desirceleeeed platy *mach. which had beta wait. ing in Clargrs.etreet, since Saturday morning, was brought to the hall door, and Sir FRANCIS entered it. accompanied by his brother, sod Mr. Wiliam., one of the messengers of the House of Commons. 'The military force was now very strong, aod be eline concentrated around the carriage. which drove up Albemarle-street, .Bond.street, into the Neer-road. Mary-la.bonne. and along Finsbury rquare, to the Tower, where it arrived at twelve o'clock. Twit troops of the Hnrse Guards pre reded the carriage, and several of them role along nide. The 15th Light Dragoons. the Duke of CIJIIIIIIRLAND'S regiment, cuasmanded by (inset, I.lltnedidely followed the carrisße, Mud the rear eta, brought up by a very strong toady of the Life Gaited& The cavalcade, as it proceeded, excited wonderful leeriest, and the .'nerd attending it increased to such an extent, that. by the time Sir FAA mins reached the .I ^ , irr, the crowd hod blocked up the Minorite, end all the streets ni its iricias.tv, and it bec.nue ins isa•io6ir for cart or carnage to pars.

The military here the abuse very petienly, although some of them appear. ed to have been maltreated, thefr clothes being bespatervd with mud ; one of the guards suffered touch in this way. his clothes were covered with mud, anti he was cut in the face. Besides the force that accompauied Sir FRANCIS Boa mr;rr, a regiment of the Foot Guards proceeded up the Strand, about Maritime eleven, for the Tower; and every possible precaution was taken to prevent riot and preserve the public tranquillity. The number of troops which arrived in the Metro. polls and its immediate vicinity, in the course LI yesterday, It estimated at 10,000. After Sir Faso cis wits safely lodged in the Tower the military pre pared to returu to their quarter., but they had scarcely set themselves in motion when the mull and stones from the populace began to play on them its slwAres. Oppo►ite the Trinity-House they could eudure the assault as longer. but charged the multitude sword its hand. The firing of the carbines became now pretty general, and numbers of the people fell. The contest couti sued all the way up Fenchurcli-street, where a shot enteriug the slop of Mr. GonoavE, a boot-maker, No. a man in conversatios with Mr.Gono- Iva at the tinte.•. Another shot penetrated into * carpet Warehouse opposite, but did no mischief. We beard of .14 or 14, killed and wounded, among the former were the man above-mentioned, and a poor old bricklayea, in the service of Mr. Thomas, shot through the neck. A man was killed in Seething-bine, Crutched-Friars, and another in the shop of Mr. Wales*, 'shoemaker, its Tower-street. Of the wounded there are one shot io the groiadangerously ofJolin street, Blackfriars, through the foot—another in the arm, carried to Davis, a surgeon on Tower hill—and many with► sabre wounds. The Beak, the Mansion-house, and all the shops in the streets. in the city, leading to the Tower, were closely shot tsp. This was the first instance of the Bank being shut up from a similar cause, since the riots in 1780. The part of the troops which was attacked on .their return from the Tower, and obliged to fire upon the populace, was the rear-guard. When the rest body had passed, the populace were en comaged to fall upon it. The troops. after leav ing Sir FIUINCIS BURDCTT at the Tower, did nut return through the City, but went over Loudon-Bridge, through St. George's-Fields, and over ‘llestminster-Bridge, to the Horse- Guards, &c. where they arrived at three o'clock ; some of them without their hats, and many of theta brdaubeil with mud. The Weatmiaster Volunteers were ordered to assemble around the Hoare of Commons, to protect the Membenion their way to sad fro m the house.—A few of them made their appearance *bout four o'clock, but there was not the least occasion for their service, and they went away. The ninnber of strangers in the avenues was small. It had the appearance of an ordinary night, and all remained tranquil and quiet. Oath, City aide. as soon as the troops withdrew from the Tower, the 'artillery planted on the ramparts was manned ; the gates were closed, taxi no person was allowed ad mittance. By three o'clock the populace had near ly dispersed, and at nice o'clock last night there was not the least appearance of crowd, riot; or die turbance, in the vicinity. About 6 o'clock, a heavy rain commenced, which continued during the whole night. It cootrilauted, oe doubt, materially to the tronquillity of the Metropolis, by keeping people at home, whom a fine night would have induced to crowd the streets. About half-past eight o'clock • some troops, which wore stationed on the Kent Road, rode off in the direction of Camberwell, and it was reported that some disturbances had broken out at Peckham, and that they were gone to quell them. It was also said that accounts were received of some disturbances at Manchester and Bir mingham, but we believe that there was uo foundation for these rumours. That a great sen. salmon has be•i• excited all over the country be fore this time we may presume. A Gentleman com ing to town from the North was ao alarmed by the accounts winch he had received ea his approach, that he left the coach on the other side of Barnet, au.' would ant venture further.—The following let ters, received yesterday. also shew the state of the public mind in the neighbouring counties : BRIGHTON. •PUIL 8.

APaIL 10. We have given, in another part of our paper, an account of the arrest of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, and of his conveyance to the Tower ; with its melan choly consequences in the shedding of blood, and the loss of some valuable lives. His letter to the &MAW will be discussed this night, and is expect ed to produce an interesting debate. The circum stances of his arrest came under the consideration of the House lest night, and the account given of them by the Serjeant-at-Arms, appears to have thrown considerable doubts upon the subject. It has been the pride of the British Constitution, that the house of the meanest subject is his castle ; that although the rain beat upon it, and every blast may threaten to level it with the dust, yet that it stands like a rock, impregnable and impervious to all mortal poner.. Such is. we believe, the law of the land, in all cases of a „civil nature; in all cases where the KING does . not prosecute, and which do not come directly. or indirectly, under the denomination of crime.— Whether the charge against Sir FaaNcts BuaroLrr be of this latter description, is, we believe, a point upon which the beat disposed and best informed Inca may conscientiously entertain contrary opi nions. It Is generally supposed that the House of Com mons will proceed this night to a Vote of Expulsion against Sir FILANCIS &soar?. The Baronet'. letter certainly appears to court that sentence; but Ministers will act with their characteristic weakness, if they attempt to inflict it. Among the ruinoury that smutted the populace before Sir FRANCO* BURDETT . * house, yesterday morning, one was, that the Prince of WALes, at tended by Mr. SHERIDAN, had set out at live in the morning, for Windsor, in order to implore [lie MAJESTY'S conciliatory interference with his Mi- Miters is the present alarming crisis. For this re port there bad not existed the slightest foundation. A party of the Foot Guards was .plated last slight in Palsco-yard, to protect the House of Lords.— As the rain fell heavily, they had leave to shelter themselves tinder the piazzas; while theConiniatid ing Officer amused himself with walking around, about Itt o'clock, he au% tired at by some assassin, the ban from whore pistol passed through his hut. Mr. ELT, an Awencan grotlriamip landed at Do ver, on Sunday morning, charged with dispatches frosty General ARM STRONG , at Paris. to Mr. PiNOl.• E IT, the Ainvrican Minister in London. This Gentleman came iii a neutral corn vessel, bound front Dieppe to London ; lie was present at the entry of Naeautiott and the young Empress into Paris on Monday last. whose marriage it ap• pears was solemnised at St. Cloud, on Sunday, as the guns Ow the coast a willow:ell on that day.— lie was attended by one *servant, and proce..de4 to London iinntediaiely.
