Sig -1"L1 A NCI'S, with some of his friends, were at

and shut it down. In the' mean time another

into the house was obtained that way, and Sir FEAN

rtp rt was very currently circulated, that' Sir
Fr,ANcis having Obje6ted to the legality of the
SPEAKER'S Warrant, another lArarratit, signed by
the Secretary of State, and countersigned by icis
MAJESTY, had been procured. There is no founda-
tion whatever for this statement. He-was arrested
upon the original Warrant of the SPEAKER.
A'-'e are, we confess, very much at •a loss to ac-
count for the extraordinary delay which has occur=
red in the execution of that Warrant. We are not

sufficiently in possession of the fals to enable us to

state who is. to blame .for this delay, or whether
blame is attributable to any one ; bur,. upon
fits view of the case, it dims appear most.

d,:yd, except froM the immediate friends of • Sir
Uz.ANQIS, anything like a doubt cNpressed upon the
.bje6l. The leading Opposition Paper of this morn-
ing admits the right of-the House of Commons, but
sap the exercise of it.in the presentinstance ig the
explication of a Whig dotirine to a Tory purpose.
We do not.exaetly what is meant by that ex-
plO.:ision, but we know lf-theright of the House-of
CL?nitrions be clear, then an attempt to resist it by
*force is a gross violation of tile ConstitUtion.

Since writing the above, we b3ye learnt that Sir
FitANcis arrived at the Tower abottt twelve o'clock;
itilmense crowd were assembled on :rower Hill,
but the
.greatest tranquility -prevailed.

The following article is extracted from the Cork
-Puper. :The report is, however,, not entitled to
any credit, a; the_ French could . not assemble such
a force unless the Toulon Fleet shad escaped fro

the Mediterranean ;
.and, if such an event' .had
taken place, of course the news would have reached
kids country before this time : •
