I DN DON.
MONDAY. AralL 9.

An account of tier pertur•,e.l slate of the ►ne'ro-
pnli., (Wring the last two days, is given in atm-
titer part of our paper. The subj•:ti IS of 6134..
rate importance in its rause, as well as in its
probable effects. Sir FRASCUI B. RDETT hyviog
admitted, in his place, the right of the House
of Commons to commit one of its °Nu 11le.iibcrs,
and a report of his tote's:ion to su.rei.der having
been circulated by his flientlii, we were led to doubt
.the contrary rumour of his determination to dis-
obey the SPEAKILICS IVarr.•ut, and oppose force to
force.—The fact of his resintistici: is however now
ascertained.--Sir FRANGI6 BURDETT and the House
of Commons are now at issue, and a conflict has
arisen between the Minister and the people. Such
are the traits of the legacy bequeathed to us by
Mr. YORILE.—Such is the victory achieved by
the feeble fury of the new Teller of the Exche-
quer and his vigorous friends. To those who have
watched the proceedings of Ministers, and their
whole political birth, life, end parentage ; to
those who have lamented that the destiny of a great
nation, and the preservation of the best state of
society existing on the face of the habitable globe,
should have been coiiiided to the blind and imbe-
cile guidance of incapacity and ignorance ; to those
who have long since estimated the talent and the
Own''r of administration, by its fruitless waste of
our treasure and our blood, and its brazen auda-
city in braving public opinion: —To such men,
this last act, so trivial in its cause, and so por-
tentous in consequences, ought not, romat
give surprise. In our observations upon this subject
on Thursday last, alluding particularly to Sir SA.
MULL 140,111.1. Y's .iprech, we stated, that in a case
involving a difference of °Outran, and where the
right was not notorious red universally acknow-
ledged; the House of Commons probably would
not go the length of expulsion, or com-
mitment to the Tower. We have been &asp-
pointed, but we need not be sishimied of our
spet ulation.—A majority of thirty-eight was, in
such a case, a poor triumph for Ministers, or
rather, it was a negative success. Messrs. Pes-
ci:vat and Co. were determined to carry
their point. It was in vain that • Reprimand
was suggested as a snore sffectual punishment.--

That most of necessity have been done in a corner
and Mioriterr, not content with sacrificing to in-
trigue, ignorance, and incapacity, thousands of our
gallant countrymen on a foreign shore, most not
lost the glorious golden opportunity of displayiug
their vigour in a mole tangible shape -at 'mine, to
the gaping eyes of dna great Motropolis. We give
them joy of their success. They have actually
played, Lot uniutrutiouslii, we allow, into the
baud* of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. Whateter may
be the final result, they have exalte.i him, at their
own expense,.aud they.lnice gone a great way, we
fear. to compromise the safety of the country.—.
The Se•jeant-at-Aruts having, no doubt by the ad-
vice of Miiiisters,, abstained from attempting to ex-
-I,iste the STEAICLR's Warrant by force ; and Sir
FRANCIi having avowed hi, determilation to icsist
its execution, no serious collision of contending
powers, interestr, and passions, was to he appre-
hended ill the course of yesterday, nor any thing
important this day, until the sitting of the Muse
of Commons. --That moment is looked forward
to, with great anxiety.—Sir Fatness Bunour
letter to the SPRAlttit will be then read, and
also the return ef the Serjenntiot-Arms, @lntim/
the real-ass fur the nowex,cution of the SPEAKER's
w•irrinit. The course which the Cohrtuous Mill
adopt, in this extraordinary caw, it is tanprusible to
foresee. . Some may propose ir vote of exlrul►ion.—
Others may recommend an Address to the 'lliristur
for a Proclamation for his apprehension. But,
whatever course may be adopted, is now of little
importance. The interest which the people
feel for Sir FRANCIS BERDITT, however great,
is not the sum tetal of their feelings. In the
acts of violence committed on Friday night, we
trace a fieliiig of general discontent ■nd dissa-
tisfaction at the Ministers, and their whole system ;
against the authors or the lamentable and dreadful
Expedition to Walcheren, as well as against the
political 114Vritill'Illt of S r Fktscls BLIRDIATC.
