denrs, still he stiould have recommended

4;3,4 Would- I hiS.have been degrading to the

ttrsite had asserted, that the possibility of other

11:e beeii antieipated, and therefore that it ought
to have been issued. It such a doctrine as this

.CoUld' any Gentleman seriously think thaethe opi-
nion of his Majesty's. Ministers would shield a Ser-
leant at Arms from punishment under such circum-
stances . -The Learned Gentleman -opposite; who
considering the side of the House on which
.he sat,
sided a most Manly and honourable part, seemed to
think it hard that the Serjeant had been left tochoose
his own may (Amit-eh% the Speaker's warrant. It'
was the same-thing however •as in Courts of Law
for centeinpts; &c. In those Courts the right of
breaking open doors under their warrrants had been
repeatedly agitated. Adverting to the condua of
the Serjeant at Arms, he coticurred entirely in the
opinion of an Hon. Baroact upon it. It would be
highly unjust to consider that Gentleman as very
censurable: for the little irregularity which he had
, • certainly in the first instance committed. It should
be'redolletaled that lie had been accustomed to treat
the MeMbert entrusted to his charge with delicacy,
and that he confidently relied on-time solernn honour
of Sir F. Burdett. The cenduel of •Ministers ap-
',-Treared to him not only to, be undeserving of. repre-
'fiefision but entitled 'to great praise. His Right
Honoerable Friend had been taunted with a former
expression of his that he "would sand by the
King." Yes; his Right Hon. Friend would stand
by the King, for
.he would atand by the preetlegei
of the House of Com Mons, which was to stand by
the Constittitien, and to stand by the Constitution
.was to stand by the King. •
Lord 'Te'aiieis and Sir S. ROtetttet explained.
Mr. C. WYNNit accused GOvernment of tardiness
in not having ordered the Constables to •whip home
the first mob of boys bet'ore they were joined by
more serious rioters. In his opinion the right. of
executing the warrant of that House did not rest on
. the narrow ground of analogy, but on the law 'and
usage of Parliament. The House- in many cases
. possessed a very extensive power.
Mr. BERESFORIi declared, that
.every subsequent
event had convinced him more and more of the pro-
priety of the vote which he had given for committing
Sir F. Burdett to the Tower. He was sure that his re
cent conduct would open the eyes of-the country, and
that they would perceive that it was his intention to
create a civil war, and to effeil a revolution. He
was persuaded, als e that if this Sariguinary Gentle-
man ivere expelled from the House, Ilse electors of
Westminster would not send him back. Were it
not tha' the general feeling of the House seemed to
be against suet; a measure, he would himself move
his expulsion. •
Lord MILTON approved of neither of the propo-
aitiotra before the House. He was of opinion a dif-
ferent step ought to be taken ; but it was not for
him' to say what that step should he. Had the
House in the first instance stopped short of inflict-.
ing -that ulterior punishment on the ant. Baronet,
'there would on the present occasion have been no
difference of opinion; all would haveconeurred in
the propriety of sending him to the Tower. But-
es it was, they having wasted their ammunition,
could. do nothing more. Another objection arose
from the expreSshm in the lii4fit Hon., Gentleman's
Resolution, that "• the House thought any farther
proceeding now unnecessary."- From that phrase,
it appeared as ii` the Right Hon. Gentleman wished
to drop.the.subject for the present, that he might
let- it off at sonic foture period. It any farther step
were necessary, it ought to be immediately taken.
The Su 'ject ought not to be renewed., Under all
the circumstances, as he disapproved of both time
propositions„, he A ould vote for neither.
Mr. LYrrLstoN observed, that whatever might
be the feelings of Gentlemen as to the letter of Sir
Francis .to his Constituents, and time proceedings of
that House thereon, he thought there could be but
one opinion on his letter to the Speaker, namely,
that it was highly•reprehensible. Whatever might
be his oivn 'pri:ate feelings, hr, felt bound to declare,
that 'he could not justify one tittle of the Hon. Ba-
ronet's condu&. In continuing a useless contest
for four days, he exposed the lives of many persons
to no purpose. Mr. Fox had stated resistalice to be
culpable_ when success was hopeless. He then cen-
sured his giving 'an implied consent to theSerjeant
as being utterly. unworthy a man of honour. Ano-
ther circumstance, which in his opinion went very
strongly against Sir Francis Burdett, wagehis-having
been from first to last, since the decision of that
House on his letter, in the company of the brother
of a most notorious traitor. He did not mean to
say that Mr. Roger O'Connor was a traitor; but
bad he (Mr. Lyttleton) been in the situation of Sir
Francis fitirdett, he would not h,ave.chosen for his
bosom-friend the brother of that base traitor, Ar-
thur O'Connor, who.in foreign publications had li-
belled England with the most inveterate rancour.—
Was it on the information gained from siach a source
that the Hon. Baronet wished to inflame his coun-
trymen, and make the people rise against the Go-
vernment ? He censured the conduct of Sir Francis
from the bottom of his heart. kiis letter to, his
Constittents,waa.an offence against that House, and
if he (Mr. Lyttleton) had wished the House not to
proceed against the Hon. Baronet as they ih,:d done
on that account, it was,because he had some doubts
as to the legality of such a procedure. He did not
wholly approve of either of the propositions. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer's, however, being the
stronger of the two, should nave his 'hearty vote.
Sir J. Finer. most heartily approved of the amend-
mem of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Mr. HuTcniNSoN would be extremely sorry 'that
[hat HOLISP should be-any thing but the ltePresen-
tatives of the People. He was originally against
the committal
_of Mr. Jones, and took the earliest
opportunity of registering his sentiments by voting
for his liberation ; but that committal having taken
place, he-found the. Hon. Baronet liad condemned
that proceedieg as unconstitutional, in as manner
which he could not but disapprove, though he went
• to the full length of his argument. He could not
approve of the conduct of Ministers, in causing the
Member for' Somerset to bring- forward the motion
he made-[" They did not," front the Treasury
Bench.]--and having voted as he did ott the former
motions, he could not vote for the amendment on
this, for, reasons so much better expressed by his
Hon. Friend below him. .
Mt. CURWEN explained, ,that -he: had only pro-
posed to pass over the letter, from an idea that the
HoOse wouldebest consult its -dignity by adopting
such a line of cenduct. He regretted the eebate
bad taken the course it had, as he had hoped to-

have kept that .most disgraceful letter from their
Journals: Though"-not disposed to Compliment

tion to withdrawing hig inOtionif such was the v, ish
Of the House....

The moiton was about to be withdrawn, when
Mr.. W► 'Tait EAD e.s pressed a wish that that ques-
tioq shodld be pif
Mr. Goncx hid h::•en on a former evening in fa-
vour ilia reprimand, i :stead of the. 'commitment of
Sir F. Burclelt ,to the Tower. He begged to recant
his error. -The conduct of the Honourable Baronet
had been such, that he only regretted that the're-
solution was not -strong enough to express the ab-
horrence he felt.

Lord CocintASTE thought the subjea under dis-
cussion worthy of.their most- serious consideration,
and the que.tion one
,into which no party feeling
should enter. 'He thought they were not warranted
in commiuing Mr. Gale Jones, nor in breaking into
the house of Sir Francis Burde«. The letter of the
Hon. Baronet he thought contained some expressions
which were unnecessary—he would go farther, they
were improper; nay, he would go still farther, and
admit they might be deserving of CenSure.; but still
be agreed with the Hopoursble Baronet in pima of
arguinent. As "a libel could be. punished by a pro-
secAtiOn in a Court of Law,. that was the line of
condul Which ought to • have been pursued. An
offence -which, they could not thus punish, they
Mightkive a right of ptinishing themselves; but in
other cases they ought not to sit as judges in their
own cause.. With submission, he begged to oh-
serve, that the Crown was not the judge of its own
privileges; and he did not think that House was en-
titled to suet) au advantage over the Crown. He
approved of the precautions taken by Government.
Ministers would irideed have bLen culpable had they
not at least taken such. He bad been informed
that Sir F. Burdett's house was, entered by the mili-
tary,. two soldiers being the first who entered. That
he thought was not the proper way of executing the
law. He would vote for the adjournment, or any
other measure which would fairly get rid of the.
subjed. He thought their decision would riot ire;.
fiuence the public mind.
Mr. BATH URST censured the condna of the Noble
,Lord in coming forward at a time- when, it his argu-
ments were worthy of , notice, they could not be
considered. It. a military force should appear to
bare been used otherwise than they had been in-
formed by. the Serje4nt—if he should have given a
mis-statement, he merited punishment. He had no
obie&tion to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's
Amendment which passed over the letter as written
-in the heat of passion. A Noble Lord'had 'said
they could base committed Sir Francis Burdett 'to
the Tower had not the whole of their amtnuni.ion
been previously expended, and that it was a imitier
of regret, as they had thus left themselves without
the looms of inflicting puni,sliment. If Sir Francis
had not been commi:ted to the To ver, the legality
of that warrant would not have been denied, and
constvently thus reserving to therneivcs the power
of sending him there, a, rt:, ulterior pub;shriteat,
. would have been useless. On time principle of the
7,1\19bk Lord, it might be contended, that) hey should
never punish as fir .as lay in tht-ir petver, because,
doing so, should a, new 'offence, be committed, it
would not-be in their po we. to, add to the punish.-
ment of the offender. He condenined the cuttdua
of Sir Francis, and appauded Ministers.

Sir CHARLFS Buitaat. vindicated the condut of
the military as most exemplary in their forbearance
under the infamous insults of a rascally mob,
amongst whom, he was proud to say, a Single de-
cent individual was not to be seen. Some were as-
sassinsi, who had, even hi the vicinity,of that House,.
on last night, fired at an Officer of the Guards,
through whose hat the ball bad aelually passed. He
reprobated the conduit of the Hon. Baronet frorn
first •to last, and declared that he wouLd have. sur-
rendered himself even to he put in irutis, rather
than be the cause of one drop of blood being
shed,

Mr. WILBERFORCE was still impressed with the
"propriety Cif-the course he pursued -on the former,
occasion in voting for the reprimand. He believed
it would. have made a much ditlerent impression
upon the ponourable Baronet than was made by
the committal to the Tower. Ile had seen an ele-
vated chaiatter approach to that. Bar in order to be
reprimanded with great apparent levity, but he soon
saw hirn so humbled by the commanding and im-
pressive censure of the Chair, that he departed low-
ered,depresscd, and pennent. lie did think that
the Amendment '3i the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer could be so modified, as to remove the objec-
lions. whirl: were entertained to the term " aggra-
vation."

Mr. BOYLE defended Minister's from the asper-
sion of their opponents. l,t was most mischievous,
in his opinion, to attribute a:I the calamities, as they
were called, of the late riotous proctedings, to their
mist:km(lol, tither than to the jacobinical spirit,
which had so recently manifested- itself.

Thc'question was loudly called for, and strangeri
were excluded.

Atter strangers bad lxen excluded from the
Gallery, the question of adjournment was not press-
ed to a divish.m. Before we were re-admitted, Mr.
Perceval had proposed his Resolution of Censure
upon the Letter of Sir Francis Burdett to the Speaker
ot the House-of Commons, which stated the said
. Letter tb be an aggravation of the former offence
eorntnitted by the Hon. Baron,l. Mr.-- Perceval
added, if he could thereby insure unanimity,, he
would withdraw the words of reference to. for-
mer proceedings. To which we understand Mr,
Whitbread
.to have ,said, that he could not agree
to .the Resolution with those words.; because,
having contended that no offence. had been com-
mitted by the Letter and Argument laid, upon the
the-table by the Member for Sornersetshi:e, he could
not say that had been aggravated, which, in his
Opinion, had Dover existed. He was ready to ad-
-nut, that the Letter to the Spr'aker was a high
breach of the privileges ot the House. Whatever
doubt might be' entertained of the legality-of the
cornmitmeat ot Gale Jones; or of the warrant
against -Sir Francis Burdett, or of the expediency
of resorting to either of-those measures, there could
be no (loot); that this was a case in which the

House was aggrieved, and where redress- could not
~ be sought, elsewliere'; the House must, of neces
cessity, take cognizance of it, Oen. It had bi-cn
OtiiMed to him and others, in the cOui;e of Abe
_- night's debate, .1 hat they had grown contit:ent re.
specking the mode of executing the wair a t, froth.
their knowledge of the event ; to this he would an-
-swer for one, he had expressed his opinion upon
the force of the 'S;eaker's Warrant, If issued, upon.
proper groundS, in a coniersat;on he had held
with the Serjeant at Arms, whom he accidentally
met, before that Officer had ever been at the
House of Sir Francis Burdett at all. Upon the
question having been then propostd - to.- him,
how he would at in such a case 1 He had said he
would immediately wait neon Sir Francis Burdett,
and ask him how he intended to conduet himseil ?
If he intended to go voluntarily, that the utmost
Courtesy as to the mode.shonld be used. If be wish-
`f ed for a nominal force, for the purpose of establish.
tag his principle and maintaining his aaion, it might
be instantly applied Without diffictilty or mOlesta-
tion; if he would not yield except to eau tl force,
the Serjeant should' forthwith sodden such a foice as
. would overpower him, and render resistance hope-
less. The honourof Sir Francis Burdett had mis-
led the Serjeant into a supposition,- that he would
accompany him .to the Tower the next morning;
nor was the Serjeant to blame for having so con-
ceived of the intentions of Sir Francis Burdett ; but
it was too much to say that Sir Francis /3 !rdett had
`broke his word with the Serjeant-...'Upon the whole,
Mr. Whitbread said, he was willing to adopt any
1. Parliamentary phrase, however strong, to cheratc-.
terize the letter addressed to,the Speaker, provided
no-term of reference to any former proceeding was
inserted; for the letter itself he thought exceedingly
ill composed, and highly offensive.
The SOLICITOR. GENERAL for Scotland was de.
sirons of retaining the original words.
Mr. WHITBREAD could Din-consent-to the sword
"aggravation," and proposed " ilagrant" as a parlia-
mentary word, and at the same time a word suffi-
ciently strong ; - and that the expression should be,
" t 1 'grant breach of the privileges of the House."
Mr. TIERNEY wished for •an unanimous decision,
which he taought might be obtained
.if the Ca ti-
cellor of the Exchequer would- make interest with
the Solicitor-General for Scotland- to give. up the
word " aggravation." .
Mr. WILBERFOLICE thought the mode ilopo3ed
by the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Whitbread) would be
a more marked expression of the sense of the House
than the'reoining of the.words of reference pro-
posed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
-Mr. (...).waN was. of the same opinion.
Mr. ADAM also expressed a similar opinion.
Mr. GILu thought the House shbuld pass a
substantive condemnation of the letter without the
words of reference.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL fur SCOTLAND dis-
claimed any wiAt pertinaciously 'to itniist upon his
opinion. •
The CHANCELLOR of -the 'EXCHEQUER mia4 ex-

etrem:dy desirous of unanimity upon. this occasion,
and wished therefore to adOpt the suggestion of the
Honourable Gentleman (Mr: Whitbread). Li 'or—
.
loweVer, Lim( it mil;ht not appear on the Jo ur-
tials that ttic original words relative to igvavation
had,beeti left ow, he
J.eipiested he' might be a!lowed
to propose the word suggested by the Honourable
Getillenlafri (4r. Whitbread), is a part of the origi-
nal motion. .
Mr. WHITBREAD conSented.

• The SPEAKBR. requested ;to be informed of the
wish of the Hou.ie, as to whether the 'Letter of Ssr
Francis Bordett should be entered upon the •Jouri-
nals, obser►~ing that there were precedents both
ways, and that it was 'entirely optional with the
House.

. .
It appearing to be the general sentiment, that
the L.:.tter should not be inserted on the J.iur-
nals,- the Speaker said he would give directions ac.
•
cordingly. _ , _ - .. •

It being also understood that the Amendments
moved should appear on the Journals, the Speaker
said he would give directions accordingly, and the
question was put as an original motion. •
" That the said letter is a high and flagrant
breach of the Privileges of this House, but 'it
appearing by the. Report of the Serjeint, that the
Warrant for tilt-. committal-of. Sir-Fiancis Burdett
to the Tower has been executed, this House does
not think it necessary to proceed further in the
business."

• This motion *as agreed to nemine contradicente.
EXCHEQUER BILLS.
Mr. WHITBREAD 5a1..., that a statement bad been
.handed to him, from which it appeared, that on the
day appointed for holders of Exchequer Bills to at-
tend at the ExcheqUer Bill Office,, for the purpose
of delivering them to be funded,. persons were ad•
witted by it private door . before the public door
was Opened,. and that great partiality was•shewo in
it-14dt% up the list. He therelOre thought an in-
quiry was necessary. •
TheCHANCEI.LOR of the EXCHEQUER was con-
'vinced it would be found, that there was no foun-
dation for the statement which had been handed to
the Hon. Gentleman. He agreed, however, in the
necessity of inquiry, and moved for the- appointthent
of a Seled Corhinittee for that purvose, which WAS
agreed to.

The other Orders of the tray were disposed of,
and the House adjourned at halt past One o'clock.

SULE'M QUIS DICIRE ?ALBUM ALIDEAT?

LONDON,

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1.810.

We beg to call the particular attention of oyr
Readers to the very important debate which took
place in the house of Commons last night. Never,
we believe, was there upon any occasion a stronger
or more unanimous depression of disapprobation,
than was,last nightexpressedagainst the conduel of Sir
F. BURDETT ; and the Motion, &Merin his .Letter
to the SFEAKER a flagrant violation of the pri-
vileges Of the House of Commons, was carried
without a single dissenting .voice. We are happy,
also to take ibis opportunity of doing justice to the
manly and patriotic conduct of Mr. CURWEN. tie.
stated, in the most distinct terms, his opinion of the
Sathriet'a objects, and his own determination, -
in the present crisis, to- forego all party considera—
tions, and to strengthen the hands of Govern,

ment. -
It has heen'said, not as a justification, but as a pallia-
tion of Sir FRANCIS'S conchict, that he merely made
resistanc... =n o:der to bring the question toln,issue,
and try it. in legal manner. If that were really his
intention, the slightest degree of resistance would
have been sufficient, and it is most extraordinary, as.
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY observe:, that- when Sir
FRANCIS had'an opportunity of trying the 'question
.
by an a6tion for filse imprisonment, he should
prefer trying it on an •indietruent for murder. Wc
are told in an Opposition .Papers that the question
will 'now be fairly' A: d the • Courts of Law."—
How the question can be tried more* fairly,
in the Courts of Law than it would have been if Sir
FRANCIS lIRe suffered himself to be taken on
Friday morning, •we are At a loss to conceive.—
*He might have inked for his habeas corpus-lie
might have brolight , his aelion for false irn,:
pr:sonmcnt-nijiast as Well if he had been taken
•
then, as -he can now, after three days of tu-
mult and the loss of somelires.

'When strangers. were
_minded this morning
from the.,(4lkry. pf the llOuse of Cortial on Q,- Mr.
PONSONBT stated to the House, that be entirely
concurred h the se:A.:meats whith beet] ex
pressed by, the Hon.. Member (Mr.LYTT:LETori),
and. that
_he was 'of opinion, that if Sir FRANCIS

BURDETT was expelled the House, th Eleaars of
Westminster, in consequence of his late moduli',
would not re-eleli him.

We most heartily congratulate the public on the
complete restoration of tranquility in the Metropo-
-4s ; and. we feel much pleasure in stating, that the
consequences which attended the riotous proceedings
on Monday last were by no means so calamitous in
their extent as they have been represented in private
reports, and in the Opposition Papers. The person
who was shot at Mr. GooDEvE's, the corner of
Mincing-lane, is not dead. He was a corn-porter,
named ESEREL. The ball was extraaed yesterday
at St. Thomas's Hospital. The man 'who was shot
in Fenchurch-street, a journeyman bricklayer, had
been very aCtive in provoking the military, and was
in the very aft of throwing a brick-bat at them
when he unhappily became the-vitlitn of that irrita-
tion which he had so reprehensibly contributed to
excite. Several persons were Nk ounded, and shots
have been found in some 11011iCS, but in such places
?.s pied that the, military, amidst all their anger,
firid over-the heads of . the mob, in order to
iatimi-
date them; except in those cases where the condua
of individuals could hardly be expe&ed to allow a
moment for refleaion; considering how the soldiery
had been insulted and' annoyed for the three preced-
ing days.

Tile following- Letter was this morning posted up
I.LOY

" CAPE•' OF GOOD [lore, JAN. 24.—The Boadi.
cea frigate arrived here yesterday from oft' the Mau-
ritius, where she left our fleet on the 4th instant :
she brings intelligence of the French frigates which
had been cruizing in the India Seas having succeed-
ed in getting s.:fe in with :our prizes, one apparently
a large Indianian, which was chased on shore at the
Black River; an unsuccessful attempt was made by
the boats of the fleet to destroy her. the French fleet
that has
_got safe in were chased by our fleet on -tha
morning of- UK; 20th inst. they consisted of four fri,
gates, with four prizes; and as we know of only
three French frigates being on this station, viz..the
Bellona, La Manche, and the rams, sortie appre.
pensions are entertained of the other frigate being
the Piedmonizase, which was reported in India to

have been captured .by to o French friga es ; it is,.
howe%er, possible that 'they may have been joined.
by another French frisrate front latrope.

" The is expecleci here in a few days
from the fleet, and by her we expea to have some
further picticulats. By the Doliry, American, from
Ceylon, we have Accounts of two French frigates,
from Batavia, having capturcti i 3 America!) ve-se:s,
and several other counity .hips, at Japanalp3,.
the Noah-west coast of Sumatra: All the
cans had large quantities of speeil on board, with
which they were purchasing their cargoes of pepper.".

Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, the Kttqo 'and
QUER. accompanied by l'uncesses AtJuysTA,
ZA.B •i'll; and SOPIpA, upended by the Countess of
CHESTERFIELD, and escorted by a party of the
