»Ue crowd attacked lordf)art mouth's house,3c
treutcd it in the same manner. '1'll try then pro
ceeded to the house of Mr. Yorke, which
experienced so violent an attack, that in a
moment not a pane of glass remained whole.
Mr. Percival’s windows were also broken.
These proceedings induced some of the in„
habitants to put lights in their windows, in
the hopes that they would thereby avert the
fury ot the assailants. The circumstance
■was quickly seized upon by the multitude,
& they very inconsistently required lights to
be shewn as a proof of concurrence in their
sentiments respecting Sir Francis Rurdett.
The consequence was, that all the streets in
the west end of the town were brilliantly il«
laminated. A large mob was advancing a
gainst lord Chatham’s house in Hill street,
but a troop of the horse guards, which had
been called out, very opportunely met the as
sailants, and dispersed them.
The guards were called out, and 35Q men
were sent to protect the Magazine in Hyde
Park. Some of the guns at the Tower were
loaded with grape shot.
. In the course of yesterday. Sir Francis
Burden was visited by Sir Samuel Uomilly,
Mr. Whitbread, Mr. Wardle, lord Folkstone,
and lord Tlianet.
In addition to the attack, which we have
stated above to have been made by the mob
on the windows ofcertain houses, we have to
notice one made on the house of Sir J. An
struthcr, which, it is said. Isas suffered con_
siderably : not only the windows, but some
glasses,chandeliers, and other valuable furni
ture in the interior of the rooms, are said to
be destroyed.
Franck and the U. States.
Letters ol the iidtn ult. from France state,
that Mr. Armstrong has terminated his cor
respondence with the French government
without coming to a successful issue. Mat
ters have proceeded so far, that he has char
tered a vessel on purpose to convey home
himself, fami Iy and suite. It was hisioten
tion to have taken his passage on board the
John Adams, but there was a want of accom
modation. Mr. Armstrong takes his depar
ture the moment he receives an answer to
some despatches recently sunt over to Mr.
Pinkney. The British government, on ap
plication from Mr. Pinkney, has agreed to
forward the answer with a messenger in a
cartal. The prevalent opinion among the
commercial politicians is, that there will
be war between France and America, and
I»eace between the latter country and Eng
and.
Britain and the U. States.
It is fully understood that the John Adam3
took out the stipulations upon which the
Marquis Wellesley and Mr. Pinkney agreed
to adjust all differences, subject to the sanc
tion ot the American government; and this
appears the most certain, from intelligence
which has recently transpired, namely, that
Mr. Morier has been appointed to succeed
Mr. Jackson as British plenipotentiary
in America. Mr. Morier has lately been
employed as British consul in the Mo.
rea ; and is nephew to the gentleman of the
same name, who is secretary to the Persian
embassy. .
Renark.—The House of Commons ad
journed from Friday, April 6, to Monday,
April 9. We must, therefore, receive a pa
per of April 10, before we can learn what
course the commons took on Sir Francis’
resisting their authority. His conduct, how
ever, explains what he meant by the word
resist in his letter to his constituents ; and
which was insisted by his friends in the
house to contemplate onjy resistance in argil
ment and vote. It is singular, that Sir F. B.
should contend so violently for his own pri_
vileges, and yet third; so little of the privile"
ges of the Legislature of hi» country.
Sir Francis Burdett assisted in a debate in
the house on the 3d of April, several days af„
ter the resolutions for his commitment had
been proposed-He delivered a long
speech on the subject under consideration,
which was the improper conduct of a cap
tain Lake in the West Indies. The Chan
cellor of the Exchequer spoke, and agreed
with him in most of his observations, and
the whole discussion was conducted with
the most perfect complacency and good hu
mor.
POSTSCRIPT.
We were last evening presented by a res
pected friend with a Dublin paper of the
lO’h, and a Cork paper of the 11th of April.
They contain no farther information from
London.
Dublin, April 10.
Sunday a very fine American vessel, laden
with timber, arrived in our harbor, and with
in a few days past several others of the same
description also arrived, which must afford a
seasonable supply of that article, and reduce
the present price considerably.
There is a rumor again afloat of a nego
tiation being on foot between Great Britain
and France. Certain it is, that a Mr.
M’Kenzie was to leave London on Thurs
day last for Morlatx. for the avowed put pose
of negociating an exchange of prisoners; but,
though this may be the ostensible object, it is
believed that peace is connected with his
mission.
It is further rumored that Bonaparte had
positively promised an act of grace tosuch
British subjects as were detained in France
sit t lie commencement of the war; and such
is the sensibifily of the British funds to all!
pacific rumors that the three per cent, con
sols have risen one half per cent.
Cadiz Article.
A sally was made on the 17th of March
from the Castle of ban Pedro to Chiciana,
about 7 miles, and the Spaniards destroyed
two batteries that had been raised by the
enemy. Several hundreds of the latter were
killed.
From the Paris Indicateur of the 26.7/ cf
February.
'Fo Jfis Serene Highness the Prince of
Arufc/iatel and of ll ag ruin, A/ujor-Cc
n, rat.
“ I have the honor to inform your serene
highness of the entry of the Irnperhil troops
into Seville, arid ol the dissolution of the in
surrectionnl Junta. The troops composing
tire first corps, presented themselves btfore
the place, and made prepi.iations to carry
It by assault, when Marshal Duke of B«Jlu
ir» received several flags vVtiicii came to tie
dare the submission oi the inhabitants, but
Upon terms which he thought improper to
admit of. ft * ns known that the rcgulai
forces in Sevill Were not numerous, and the
armed populace were not sufficient for the
defence or its entrenchments 1 ho* situat' d,
the .Marshal Duke ot Bel » sent a writ
ten decl nation by the return of the fl ig
a copy of which 1 have the honor tofm .
ward to your highness, to which is nniitxsd
a copy of the report made to tin. king on
this affair. This declaration had the de-1
sired effect : The tumult ceased; yesterday |
at ten in the morning, the gates were open
ed, atul at three in the afternoon, his catho.
lie majesty made his entry amklat the shouts
of the inhabitants.
Two hundred and sixty-three pieces of
cannon were found in this place; of which
one hundred and forty were on the batte
ries ; together yrjth munition, arms, stores
and provisions. We are, at present, engag
ed in making out an inventory, of which a
report will be forwarded to you. The mem
bers of the Junta and their partizans have,
for these filteen days past, been preparing
for this event,and have sent off whatsoever
they could tor Cadiz . They have also sold
to the English, whatsoever they could for
cash. Towards the last, the people plun
dered a part of their stores. In the mean
tinic, the Marshal Duke of Belluno has sent
off a detachment to San Lucar, where we
expect to tind the precious effects and ar
tillery, which probably they will not have
time to send down the Guadalquivir.
The entrenchments which the insurgents
have erected around Seville, are immense.
Sixty thousand men would be requisite lor
their defence, which has rendered them
useless. The greater part of the inhabitants
have remained, and of those that have went
oft, crowds return. There are some famili_
lies, who have acted a conspicuous part in
the revolution, who probably will not re,,
turn.
I he Junta is dissolved-Its last act was
to divest its Generals of command, and ap
point in their place others who have been,
lor a long time, in disgrace. Such is Blake’s
case ; he is to succeed Arizaga, but there
are no troops to command—Castanos has
quarrelled with the due del Parque-.it is
not known what is to become of him ■ ■ ■■Cu
esta lias treated with neglect this last act
ot the Junta—Romana has gone to join
the troops which he formerly commanded,
and says he went to devise means to extri
r.ate them from their dilemma—Tilly has
Jlcd to Philadelphia and carried off three
millions—Altamira and the Bishop of Lao.
dicea have been arrested by the inhabitants
ot Xeres, and are still in prison. The other
members of the Junta have saved them
selves as they could ; some of them have al
ready declared their repentance to the king,
and say that numbers will follow their ex
ample——Finally, there exist no traces of
this insurrectional government, except the
remembrance of the evils they committed.
*1 lie insurrectional troops have disbanded
themselves, and a part thereof have return
ed home. The fear of being treated as pri
soners of war has prevented numbers from
entering the service. It is for. this reason,
that a great many of the prisoners have es
caped. A body of 3,000 men, dispatched
from the army of Castile to cover Seville,
being surprised, disbanded themselves at
six leagues distance, and went every man
his own way.
Already several French prisoners have
been rescued; and we hope 10 liberate
more. Among them are some marines.—
Under such favorable auspices, his Catholic
majesty has judged this the time to profit
by the advantages which the armies of his
majesty the Emperor and King have obtain
ed. Consequently the Marshal Duke of Bel -
luno has received orders to march with the
first corps for Cadiz.
He will instantly possess himself of Port
St. Mary, Pot t Heal and Carraccas, where
are the military, and merchant dock yards,
the arsenal and marine establishments. He
will also endeavor to make himself master
ot the Isle ol Leon, Sc thus cut off the supplies
of water to Cadiz by land. He will occupy
St. Lucar, I.ota, Xeres, Arcos, Medina Si
donia, from whence he will send a party to
Honda, to intercept the communication with
Gibraltar. It is said that the English have
a body of troops at St. Roche.
There are hopes that Cadiz will submit.
V’enegas commands there. A few days
since, he refused permission to the English
to land four thousand men ; so that they
had to abandon the project.-The French
and Spanish squadrons, in harbor, amount
to 22 vessels. The English have five in the
Bay and a great many transports.
I he oificial report of General Sebastiani
has not yet come to hand. lie entered
Grenada on the evening of the 28th, or the
morningof the 29th, as himself has announc
ed, and forthwith dispatched parties against
Gundix, Malaga and Antequera. It is be
lieved that one of his officers, a bearer of his
letters, will be lost. I hope to be enabled
,n ««y next dispatch to give you an account
of his operations.
1 have the honor to beg of your serene
highness, the goodness to lay iny report be
fore Ins Majesty the Emperor and King,
and to honor me with his orders.
Marshal Duke ok Dalmatia.

I he American ship Superb, Smith, has

endeavored to make the Texel, but was or
dered off by the French.
I he last Dutch papers mention that an
Estafette had just arrived at Amsterdam,

Committal of Sir I'rancia Utirdeli.
, The tumults in London still continue
t. Burdett wrote on Saturday to the Sheriff
of Middlesex, to assist him with his aid a
gainst violence of oppression, by calling out
the posse comitatus.
On Saturday the mob assembled in much
greater numbers than ever. At 11 o’clock
| the serjeant at arms came to Sir Fran
I cis’s house, but was as before, refused
admittance, the chain of the door being kept
on.
At two o’clock an immense motley crowd
had collected ; some with purple ribbons
in their hats, others with purple flags hois
ted on the ends of their sticks——every
carriage that passed was obliged to do
homage, the servants being compelled to
take off the.r hats, cheer, and cry out, “ Bur
dett forever.”
About ten o’clock on Monday morning,
Sir b rancis was taken in custody ; the con
stables entered the house by the kitchen,
and were followed by the serjeant at arms.
After a conversation, in which they deni
ed the Speaker’s authority, the serjeant and
messengers, and constables, took him into
custody, and upon a signal being given, a
glass coach approached the street door, and
the cavalry made the greatest haste to sur
round the coach, to the number of several
hundreds, Tue Baronet was iput in first,
and was followed by the serjeant at arms,
and another officer. Two of the Baronet’s
friends got in after them ; but, as we under
stand, were obliged to get out again.
The coach, escorted by the cavalry, now
set eff at a quick rate, up Albermale street,
across Bond street, through Conftuit street,
and Hanover square, for the new road, in
order to avoid passing through the main
streets. The capture was made at an ear
lier hour than the crowd had been in
Ihe.habit of assembling. The event there
fore was not immediately or generally
known.
T he cry soon spread far and wide ; Picca
dilly, Pall Mall, and St. James’s street, were
deserted, and the tide rolled rapidly after
the Baronet’s coach ; but it went at so great
a rate, that it was not overtaken.
At a quarter past twelve, arrived at the
Tower about 20 of the Horse Guards, who
rode up towards the Tower gates. At the
distance of 100 yards came about 300 of the
15th Light Dragoons, then about 200 of the
Horse Guards, having in the middle of them
the coach containing Sir F. Burdett.
The windows of the coach were down
Sir Francis sat on the right behind ; he
sat forward, and was well seen. As he pas
sed, there was much huzzaing ; the Guards
flourished their swords to intimidate the
mob.
Sir Francis was admitted about one o’
clock.
Upon the return of the military from the
Tower, the mob attacked the last platoon,
with stones and mod-the cavalry fired
their pistols
Several are said to be killed and wound
ed.
[ANOTHKR account.]
The measures adopted last night for the
prevention of all riot and disturbance, in the
neighborhood of Sir F. Burden's house in
Piccadilly, were successful. All carts, car
riages, 8*e. coming into the West fend of the
street by Hyde Park corner, were obliged to
go round, and all coming into the F.ast end
of Piccadilly were obliged to go round also.
In the course of this morning, not even a
foot passenger was suffered in the space op.
pcsitc the baronet’s house, which was thus
left entirely to the military and civil power.
In this state of things, Sir Francis Bordett
remained at home all night, and the Serjeant
at Arms, Mr. Colman, the Deputy Serjeant,
Mr. Clcmentson, with the messenger Wright
Jones, Skelton, Blake, fkc. continued in Pic
cadilly during the whole night, in order to
execute the Speaker’s warrant. About ele
ven o’clock this morning, was judged to he
a favorable opportunity to make the attempt,
and with that view they proceeded to his
house, from the Gloucester Coffee House.
File doors and windows on the ground floor
being secured, and there being no chance of
admission in that tj iarter, a ladder was
brought and placed against the window in
the front-dining room,on the first floor—One
of the messengers of the House of Com
mons immediately ascended, bat wc arc in_
formed he was pushed. His party, however,
being strong and well supported, they soon
forced ibeir way through the windows, and
took Sir Francis into custody. Tltc Baro
net was overpowered by number**. It would
have been idle to have made any further
resistance, and he was obliged to submit to
force* A very tow, shabby looking carriage
was in waiting at the door. Sir Ftancis was
brought out aud put into it, and the Serjeant
at Arms, Mr. Col man, stept in after him.
The military force was now very strong,
and became concentrated around the car
riage, and drove up Albemarle street. Bond
street, into the New Road, M;try..labone and
along Finsbury to the Tower. Two troops
of the horse guards preceded the carriage,
and several of them rode along side. A rc
giment of light horse immediately followed
the carriage, and the rear was brought up
by a very strong body of the life guards.
The cavalcade, as it proceeded, excited
wonderful interest, aud the crowd attending
•t increased to such ar. extent, that, by the
time Sir Francis Burdett reached the tower,
the crowd had blocked the Minories,
and all the streets in its vicinity, and it he
came impossible for cart or carriage to pass.
All the shops were shut, and all business
was ul a stand. On the whole line to the
tower, tile immense concourse of people in
the rear continued shouting and hallooing,
and the troops were hooted and insulted with
abusive language by ihe populace as they
passed, while prat ers and praises were be
stowed upon Sir F. The military bore the
abuse very patiently, although some of them
appeared to have been maltreated, their
clothes being bespattered with mud ; one of
the guards suffered much in this way, his
clothes were covered with mud, and he was
cut in the face. Besides the force that ac_
com pan it d Sir Francis Burdett, a regiment
of the foot.guards proceeded up the Strand,
about half_past eleven, for the tower, and
every possible precaution wns taken to pre
vent riot and preserve the public tranquility.
The number of troops which have arrived
in the metropolis and its immediate vicini
ty, in the course of yesterday, is estimated
at ten thousand.
Upon the return of the troops from the
tower, the mud and stones from the populace
began to play on them in showers. Oppo
site the I rinity House they could endure the
assault no longer, hut charged the multiude
sword in hand. The firing of the carbines
became now pretty general, and numbers of
the people fell. The contest continued all
the way up French churchstreet,whereashot
entering the shop of Mr. Goodeve, a boot
maker, forty three, filled.a man in conver_
sation with Mr. Goodeve at the time. An
other shot penetrated into a warehouse op.
posite, but did no mischief.
We heard of 12 or 14 killed and wound
ed——among the former was the one above,
mentioned—a poor old bricklayer, in the
service of Mr. Thomas, shot through the
neck of the wounded, there is one shot
thro’ the groin dangerously—Willis, of John
street, Blackfriars, through the foot-an
other in the arm, carried to Davis, a surge
on on Tower_hill, and many with Sabre
wounds.
The Bank, the Mansion-house, and all the
shops in the streets in the city, leading to the
tower, are closely shut up. It would be im
possible to get within a mile of the tower.
Globe Office, 2 o’clock. .
The extra guards have been all with
drawn on the outside of the tower_In
gress and egress are allowed, as usual ; and
all is perfectly tranquil. There is not even
aceiuinel at Sir Francis’s door; and every
person may visit him with as perfect free -
; dom, as if it were liis own house in Piccadil
. ly- Colonel Wardle and several other friends
! visited him this morning.,
i It is generally supposed, that the House of
Commons will proceed to a vote of expul..
. sion against. Sir Francis Burdett. The Ba
j ronet’s letter certainly appears to court that
! sentence ; but ministers will act with their
characteristic weakness, if they attempt to
inflict it.

Tli** ship Fnir Helen, arrived at New-York on
Saturday (iom Liverpool, bringing London pa*
per* t» the 23d April, and I’aris news to the
10th.
By tins arrival we have advices of great inter,
est Irom both G. Britain *nd France. It li**.
been officially notified to grn. Armstrong tine
n<» vessel bearing the American flag will be »d.
"titled into any port of die continent ol Lur jpe,
and Uu»s such at may be found \ti!l be cor.fi,
cated.
A treaty had been concluded M Pari*, bet ween
ihe^cmperor mid Ids brother, king of Holism!,
which, among oilier stipulations contain* <1 that
of the sequestration of all the American pr-.pcr
ty h.tind m Holland, and the transfer of -II |>ro.
needs ot sales of such property to the l'lvnch
treasury, to await future determinations.
An rtin-riern vtsicl about to enter the Tcx

lt,» *»d nil intercourse with Holland declared
to he iuterdic.ti d to the American ll..g, of which
a positive notificat.on was given.
1 tie vessels thus impeded had arrived in Eu
land.
Ti.e Danish government has mad« a sitr.i! r
communication, qualified in the mode, by an in
timation that though the American H .p W not
be suffered to enter the porta of Denmark, it a
i ises not out ot any hostile dispositions on the p u t
Denmark, which would cheerfully rountc nance
the fair trade of America: but that the double
conviction of multiplied frauds and imposition*
earned on under /\m. rican colours, could not he
detested by any cflort of discrimination.
The other, and more imperious principle of
excluding the' oppressor of the seas from the
European continent, which it w.»s determined to
enforce inflexibly, would not admit of exhibit
mg a part a.ity where the abuse ot it, had been
so enormous and so destructive of confidence
and good faith.
. I ne principle of the duke of Cadore’s letter,
is declared to he adopted by all the powers of
the Baltic, and American vessels would not be
pet nutted to enter any port in that sea. The
ellorts of Mr. Adams, at St. Petersburg, to i,
vert tins consequence, bjtau strict discrimination
between British covered, and real American
property, had not the effect hoped for, as the
difficulties and innumerable varieties of frauds
rendered the detection, not always practica
“!e- Ruswan ports, aa well as Danish and Swe
dish, Prussian, and the whole of the coast, will
be closed against our flap.
The British government has issued an order
in council in March, declaring the whote coast
ot Spam m a state of blockade, and that any ves
sel whatever found on the coast or attempting to
enter any port of Spain or Portugal would be
made a prize of.
The regency at Cadiz, the last temnant of the
Spanish power in Spain, had issued a manifesto,
which indicates their folly and their despair_.
1 he taking of the person of the emperor Napo
leon, dead or alive, or of his brother king Joseph,
was made u principal object, and vast estates
and titulary distinctions are held forth as the
reward for assassinating one or the other.
file establishment of the soi-dissnnt Louis
XVIII, brother of the late Louis XVI, was de
clared to be the intention ofthe regency, finding
it impracticable to release Ferdinand, and Louis
being the eldest of the Bourbons, was consider
ed as the proper hc:r to- the throne of Spain.
2 he London papers were occupied principally
by the tumults that prevailed in London and
Westminster, and which menaced a ferment int
other parts ofthe country. The military forcer
was every where in motion.
The peageaniry of the marriage at Paris, lost
much ot its interest in the English papers, by the
mare immediate pressure of their own circum
stances.
A lettter trom London of the J5lh April, states
th»t Col. liurr had succeeded in obtaining pass
ports for Paris, after a detention of eleven
weeks on the French frontiers. It appears Jiy
this letter that M. Pichon formerly charge dea
affairs of France udur the United States,-had
been addressed by TSurr, and through him
passports had been obtained. Pichon 13 in
the service of King Jerome, something in the
nahM! of a privy counsellor, as acclde it carious
enough, if we only consider that Pichon was re
called and in temporary disgrace, at the special
instance ol Jerome.
There is little dependence to be placed on re
ports ol French affairs derived through English
sources, hut we think it nevertheless proper to
state, what wc do not think improbable, because
it is perfectly compatible with the character of
Burr, who is stated to have- presented a memo
rial to the emperor on the subject of his former
conspiracy to divide the union, and that he*pro
posed to Bonaparte, a renewal of the design un
der French auspices, the friends of Burr in En
gland spoke with the fullest confidence of his
being successful, and many of his old adherents
had left England to meet him at Paris ; there
were several there before him.
It is remarkaole, however, that we have no
advices of these affairs from Paris, further
more the fact of Burr’s arrival and It is being than
:n obscurity, treated w ith indifference by the
Fienclr ministers ; and that our ambassador
there has not even heard of the memorial of Burr
referred to in the English accounts, nor had he
any knowledge further of a new minister com
ing to the United States, than was known
through the public papers.
Sir Francis Bnrdett had been committed to
