CONTINUATION
Of Foreign newt by tht Fair Helen ; Lon
don dates to the 23d Afirit.
London, April 9.
A cabinet council assembled on Saturday
night at the office of the Secretary of State,
lor the Home Department, upon the subject
of the resistance made by Sir Francis Bur
dett to the execution of the Speaker’s war
rant, and the consequent riots with which’
the public peace has been disturbed. The
deliberations continued ’till near oue, when,
we understand, it was resolved to advise
his majesty to issue a proclamation, exhort
ing hhs beloved subjects to conduct them
selves in such a manner as may most effec
tually tend to discountenance and repress the
existing tumults. This proclamation, or
some other document to the same effect, is
expected to be published in the course of the
present day.
Mr. Ely, an American gentleman, land
ed at Dover yesterday morning, charged
with dispatches from General Armstrong,
at Paris, to Mr. Pinkney, the American mi
nister in London,
This gentleman came in a neutral corn
vessel, bound trotn Dieppe to London; lie
v/as present at the entry of Napoleon and
the young Empress into Paris on Monday
last, whose marriage, it appears, was so
lemnized at Saint Cloud on Sunday, as the
guns on the coast announced on that day.—
He was attended bv one servant, and pro
ceeded to London immediately. Mr. Peake,
one of the tide surveyors of the customs, ac
companied him on his journey.
We have learned, that the attempt Cen
ter at the dining-room window of Sir Fran
cis’s house failed, and that the entrance was
effected at the kitchen window, in front, by
Oddy and J. Townsend, two of the patrole
belonging to Bow street, who forced open
the door with an iron crow. After some
difficulty, and traversing several dark pas
sages they found then way to the great hall,
where they saw a lusty gentleman, and en
quired of him, whether Sir F. was at home ?
ne answered-“\es, Sir Francis is al
ways at home.”-He a lied-“Who are
you ?” They answered-•“ The civil pow
er,” and requested him to bring them to
Sir Francis, with which he readily complin
cd, and conducted them to the drawing
room, where Sir Francis was standing, ac
companied by Ladv Burdett, two young La
dies and a young Gentleman, supposed to be
hischildren and his brother. One of the
patrole, who followed Oddy and Townsend,
asked—•• Which is Sir Francis?” He an
swered, “I am he ; who are you,and wh it
do you want?” Oddy replied “ We are the
civil power, and are come to demand your
person in the name of the King. ”—Sir Fran
cis asked if the Sheriffs were in attendance ?
Oddy said, not that he knew of, but their
officers were. Sir Francis then demanded
their authority to enter his house? Oddy,
in answer, said, lie should immediately see
it. and at that instant the Serjeant at Arms
and his Deputy entered the room-They
read the warrant of the Speaker. He re
fused to obey it—Oddy and J. Townsend
then laid hold of him by each arm, and said
he was their prisoner. He asked for his hut,
and addressing himself to the lusty gen’.l':
man, said, as force is used I must go. lie
then kissed Lady Burdeft, and parted with
his family as if he was only h\.\v g tov. i. for
his country seat. His brother, the Serjeant
at arms and Wright, the messenger, accom
panied him in the carriage to the Tower,
where they arrived exactly at 2 o’clock.
April 10.
The following is a copy of the Speaker’s
warrant, on which Sir Francis Burdett was
arrested by the Serjeant at Arms:
“ Generis, 6° die AfxriUa. 1810.
“Whereas, the House of Commons hath
this day adjudged, that Sir Francis Burdett,
Baronet, who has admitted that a letter,
signed ‘ Francis Burdett,’ and a further part
of a paper, intituled, ‘ Argument,’ in Cob
bett’s VVeckly Kegister of March 24,1810,
was printed by his authority, (which Letter
and Argument the said House had resolved
to be a libellous and scandalous paper, re
flecting tin the just rights and privileges of
the said House,) has be< n thereby guilty
of a breach ot the privileges of the said
House.
“ And, whereas, the House of Commons
hath thereupon ordered, that the said Fran
cis Burdett be, for his said offence, commit
ted to his majesty’s Tower of London.
“These are, therefore, to require you
to take into your custody the Body of the
said Francis Burdett, and then forthwith to
deliver him over into the custody of <he
Lieutenant of his majesty’s Tower of Lon
don.
“And all mayors, bailiffs, sheriffs, under
sheriffs, constables, and headboroughs and
every other person or persons, are hereby
required to be aiding and assisting to you
in the execution hereof.
“Fyor which this shall be your sufficient
warrant.
“Given under my hand, the sixth day of
April, 1810.
“CIIAS: ABBOTT, Speaker.
“ To the Serjeant at Arms j
attending the //. qf C. or >
hit IJcfiuty” 3
We have received Paris papers to the
5th, and Dutch to the 7lh instant. The
Parii papers contain an account of the civil
marriage of Bonaparte, and the Princess
Maria Louisa, on the fit t of April, It was
executed precisely according to the plan
winch has already appeared in this paper.
“ A most surprisingcircumstance,*' say the
Paris papers "is, that, at St. Cloud, the
weather was pretty lair, at the same time,
tha» in Paris the streets wei e inundated with
an istcesftant torrent of rain. Fears were
already entertained with regard to rhe fes
’ivity of the doming day;and we had alrca.
dy begun t*» lament the loss of so many pre
parations in the capital to celebrate the rtiovt
august of ceremonies, and the most memo
rable of events—The star of the Kmpcror
once more prevailed over the equinoctial
ga:cs. At the moment when the cannon an
nouncod the depai ture ot his majesty, th
sun dispersed the clouds, and nothing 'fas
wanting to the splendor of the mos. delight
ful fete that we have ever beheld.”
The procession commenced at 12 o’clock,
on the 1st. The Emperor and Empress
reached th''Thuilleries at two. The cere- i
tuony at the chapel lasted nearly three quar
ters of an hour; and their majesties return-,
ed to the Thuilleries at four.
Eugene Beauharnois, the son in-law of Bo„ !
nnparte, and his Viceroy of Italy, is crea
ted Prince of Venice, with a suitable apa
nage of one million of Livres a year. It
would appear, that in case of failure of the
Bonaparte line, the crowns of France and
Italy are to devolve upon him. The reports
of overtures ot peace, of the revival of the.
kingdom of Poland, and of the journey of
the Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia
to Paris, are repeated from various quarters
in the Dutch papers.
Private accounts state, that at the rell
gious ceremony of the marriage of Bona
parte, on the 2d, four Queens were the train •
bearers of her majesty. After receiving
the congratulations of all ranks in Paris, Bo
naparte and his bride set oft’ for St. Cloud,
on Wednesday last, where they were to re
main a few days.
Apt.i 11.
Letters from Bayonne state, that King
Joseph made his solemn entry into Malaga on
the 4th of March. Numerous deputations
met the King on his approach to the city ;
and on his arrival there, he received the con
gratulatory addresses of the constituted au
thorities, and then proceeded to the Cathe
dral, where Te Deuin was Solemnly sung.
April 12.
On the third clay afVr their marriage,
Bonaparte and his imperial bride received
the congratulations of the Senate upon the
happ) occasion, in the usual style of fulsome
adulation. It appears, by a dispatch from
the governor of Madrid, that the King, Jo
seph, was making the tour of the provinces
contiguous to Andalusia. He made his for
mal entry into Grenada on the lGth ultimo.
'I he dispatch also mentions, that in the late
hurricane in the bay of Cadiz, two British
ships of the line, which went onshore, were
; taken possession of by the French.
Sir Francis llurdett was yesterday visit
ed in the Tower by his family and several
of his friends.—No extraordinary prccauti
on was observed there ; nor did there ap
pear, in any part of the town, the slightest
J inclination to tumult or disorder. Tne vo
, lunteers were, however, generally under
| arms during the night, and a report of the
! names of those who attended muster was
t ordered to be made to government.
; By information from a gentleman just ar_
[rived from France, we hear that a curious
i question was discussed by a Synod of Bishops
' nil tite occasion of the meeting between Bo
naparte and the Austrian Princess, at the
town of Compiegne, on the river Oise, 45
miles north east of Paris. It was inquired
of these prelates, assembled in the Ecclesi
astical Court, if it were lawful, that Nupo
leon and Maria Louisa, w ho had'been mar
ried by proxy at Vienna, Could, consistent
. with the Christian law, sleep beneath the
|same canopy? After a short consultation
of these Episcopal Doctors, permission wras
given, and we are told, that the religions
scruples of the Imperial maiden, were, by
these venerable patriarchs, happily remov
ed.
April 13.
A gentleman lately arrived in Merida,
from VillaneuVa de da Scrana, states, that
the important points of Almarc.5 and Arcs
bispo have been taken b\ the Spaniards.
I Authentic intelligence, received from A1
I mold a y ot the 23d, states, that the province
oi Biscay, and a>l the Spanish territory i n
, the enher side of the F.bro, p.ve to be an
nexed to Franee. Bonaparte’s decree, which
orders the said annexation, ‘i.- already bewn
issued, and French governor- *re daily ex
pected rotake possession of the territory so
annexed.
April 14.
| Sir Francis Burdett has served the Speak
er of the House of Commons and the tier
tjeant at Arms, with notice of an action in
Courr of King’s Bench, for an assault
land false imprisonment. His notice to the
Speaker was read in the House of Commons
last night. The right claimed by the House
of Commons, and acted upon by the Seijeant
at Arms, will thus receive a legal discussion
and decision.
1 he German papers received vcstenlay,
s?nte, under the head of Paris, March 19.
tl’t on the preceding day the daughter of
the Senator Lucicn Bonaparte arrived in that
city ; Lucicn,either disgusted with the a
pofitar.y of Napoleon, or tearing for the per
manence of his power, has long declined to
partake of his fortune. The arrival of his
daughter at Paris, is probably the signal for
the reconciliation between the two brothers
Wenlso find,from the German papers, that
the blessings of a military conscription arc
to be extended to Naples, Denmark and all
the other countries and states which enjov
the benefit of French fraternity. The toi
lowing i. the only ^article deserving notice,
not already before our readers :
'* Hunks of the Elbe, March 23.—The
recent union of Hanover makes ttic politici
ans on the Continent very doubtful as to the
ultimate successor the negociatinus of peace
that may be opened with Great Britain. The
loyal inhabitants of the Electorate of Hun
over, so partial to theii lawful and adored
monarch, are, literally speaking, filled with
despair at this calamitous event, which is
considered by them a true national disaster.
We hope that England will use severe re
prisals on this account against France.”
The most recent accounts from Faris,
state, that Monsieur Dumoutier, whoistogo
as ambassador from France, is to use both
promises and threats to induce America to
make an alliance with France, and break off
with E >gland.
Fourteen more Americana ships, with co
lonial produce, are lately arrived at Ton
ningon, but they t^ave not yet obtained per
mission from Copenhagen to unload. At the
urgent request of the French Director-Gen
eral of Customs at Hamburgh, the Danish
Cabinet has forbidden, by still seveier laws,
the exportation of sugar, coffee, and other
mlonial products, from Holstein. The
Haiubro’ prisons are full of victim* who at
tempted to carry in small quantities of stigtv
and coffee. The French insist on the Senate
punishing them with imprisonment and bo
dily chastisement in the house of correction,
Fhe Hamburgh merchants are quite witlvr
out trade, and every other port on the Con
tinent, from the shores of the Baltic to Hol
land, exhibits, in the strongest manner, a
irightful picture of French despotism and
tyrannical oppression. Ready money every
day becomes more and more scarce, and the
great want of employment, among the low
er and middling classes of socie'y, produces
the most abject poverty, and even crime*.
I Itese are the fruits of what, Bonaparte calls
the “ Continental System,” which is nothing
but a system of tyranny, starvation, and po
verty.
Letters of the 9tH inst. from Rotterdam
announce the return of the King of Holland
from Paris
The Triton, Thompson, and the Gov
ernor Gore, Maddock, from New Yet k. for
