early in the evening, except' the house of Messrs.

began knocking and hooting at the door, ,insisting
upon- lights being put or, .
His Lordship having the command, Would not
suffer a candle to appear ; but the mob seemed as
determined as, his Lordship, who at 'length resolved
not
.to parley any longer ; he therefore armed
himself with a bludgeon, and dallied forth to meet
,
the enemy, who were prepared with -brick-bats to
receive him. His Lordship, however, so well play-
ed his part, that several of the mob measured their
length on the ground, and the first use they made
of their recovered senses was to run off without
any further desire. 'to 'renew the combat ;, two of ,
them were seriously wounded. His Lordship had
the miabrtune to receive a flying brick.bar,- but it
had not theeffeet to. cause him to quit the scene of
battle until his friends in the house,' and :others
whom they had collided for the, purpose, took his
Lordship in by force ; which was no sooner per-
ceived by his flying enemy, but they rallied again,
and with stones broke' every -pain of glass in the
-drawing-room windows, which consisted of four,
and also 'rendered the window frames considera-
.ble, .damage. His , Lordship on hearing, what
was passing, in_ a terrible rage broke from his
friends, and got possession of a pistol, with which
he name to -the window with an intent, it is sup-
posed; to have fired;, had riot his friends once more •
prevailed on him to.. retire; and being seriously
alarmed, they. thought fit arlast ro purchase their:
Peace with the, mob by lighting a few, candles in
the windows of . the upper story, which were the
only ones remaining.

YESTERDAY Mr..

vernor of Senegambia, who in the year 1784, was
-charged with murder and felony, and for whose ap'..
.prehension a Proclamation was soon after that period
issued by His Majesty's Privy Council, was brought
in custody before' Mr.. FORD by M‘Manus, Revet,
and Townsend, Bow-Street Officersi. ,who arrested
him under authority of a warrant from the Secretary

shall forbear to make any comment, 'took place

of the Soldiers, .and in . consequence of which he
was sent hOme under an arrest, but in his way to
London escaped from the
.King's Messengers who
•• had him in custody, and went to the Continent, where,
he, remained till some months ago.—On his eiami-
nation before Mi. FORD, which however was very
short, he concluded himself with the greatest pro-
priety, said he was extremely willing to meet any
charge that, might be alledgett against him, and that
he had lately Written to Lord PELnitm on the"
business, offering to surrender himself up whenever
required ; And to prevent trouble, had left diretions
at, his lodgings to be immediately, Sent for in case,
any inquiry should be made after him, which indeed
was the fad. When the Officers went in,search ofhim
yesterday, •

Mr. FORD informed him he must rernain.in custody
tilt the matter icould be fully investigated, and he
was therefore committed to Newgate. . ,
