Sir Fe3scis was at home all night.
The disposition of Sir Faascis to yield obedience
to any legal authority is expressed as unequivocally

to compromise the rights and liberties of his

nould set those rights and liberties at nought.

A. letter, we understand, has been written by Sir

the first business which the House will take into its

SIR FRANCIS BURDETT SENT TO THE

TOWER.

In addition to the preceding details, we hasten to
Lay before our Readers the following particulars of
the Commitment of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT to the

Tower:

A Cabinet Council was held last night to delibe-
rate, as it is said, on the subject of the SPEAKER'S
&nut, Of their precise determination we are ig.
:orant, but it is understood that some communica-
tcn made in consequence at an early hour this
=riling to the Officers of the House of Commons,
wO were in waiting at the Gloucester Coffee-house.
About ten o'clock this morning the Horse Guards
all Cavalry cleared the front of the Baronet's house
comrleto!y, with their sabres, and a regiment of foot
!vas then drawn up, and formed opposite the door.
The °filters of the House of • Commons made their
appearance immediately after, armed with sticks, iron
cows, &c. &c. &c. and proceeded to burst open the
strict door, and force up the windows of the Hall
Parlt,urs : the latter were shut down by the
people inside, as fast as those outside pushed
them up. On the door being broken, the OfE.
ern cf the House of Commons rushed into the
Mall, followed by about fifty of the Guards, with

Era! Fayonets, when a conflict of short duration en-

sled bctween the friends of Sir FRANCIS, the Servants
and Constables, who were in the Hall, on the ono
tart, and the Milit:zy and Servants of the House of
Commons on the other. This disturbance ceased
almost instantaneously on Sir Pita Nets making his
appearance and surrendering himself to the SERJEANT
at rams, his words were (looking at the broken doors
and windows) 44 This is all I want. Gentlemen, I
"surrender to superior force !"
A liackney-coach which was in readiness was then
1.. up to the door, and Sir FRANCIS stepped inko
t!, accompanied by his brother Mr. JoNLs BURDETT,
and anothcr friend. Mr. COLEMAN, the Serjeant at
Arms, with his assistant, then entered the coach,
tr)th immediatel7 drove off, preceded and followed,
rr rather surrounded, by the whole Regiment of.
Lit-e Guards and the 15th Dragoons. Tht

torn Oxford-street into-) Great Portland-street, and

dawn the City Road and through the Mlnories.
TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Multitudes of people are crowding eastward to-
wards the Tower, and the troops which were in the
rt'Atiewrbood of the City, are hastening to Tower-
hit All the shops in Holbown, theapsidev &c. ate
shut, and the most serious apprehensions are 'etner-
li,cl tor the consequences.

HALF PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK.
St exactly twenty MifititeS after twelve o'clock the
fr:alcade, with Sir Fanrcils Botuarr, arrived at the

t}.(l-.1 With his back to the horses. He looked out of
"nidow occasionally,with his hat off, but did nqt in
"Intstaace return the salutations with which he was
retied.. by the populace.
Wbea the coach drew up at the Barrier-gate of the
"cuter, it was surrounded as before by the Life

dram up in their rein two deep. ire wtte
four persons altogether in the coach, including Sir
FRANCIL—They entered the Tower in a body. Sir
FRANCIS seemed firm and collected. The crowd
continued to assemble in every direction, and the
troops still remained stationary when this Paper went
to press.

ONE O'CLOCK.

At this hour an order was given for the 15th Light
Dragoons to return to their quarters; and the Heavy
Horse, with the exception of about two hundred and
fifty, immediately followei. The whole of the Foot
Guards remained. When the 15th were passing they
were cheered partially, having behaved with verygreat
forbearance.

We are much concerned, however, to add, that as
they returned through. Crotched Friars, they were
most dreadfully assailed by the populace with brick-
bats, stones, &c. Scc. which at last provoked some of
them to fire, when unhappily several people were
wounded, and three shot dead.

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

In all the route of the military the streets are
crowded beyond all possibility of description—all the
shops are shut up, and the most dreadful alarm pre-
vails.—GoD grant that the tumult may speedily sub-
side, which we hope it will, now that the dragoons
have retired.

At one o'clock, Mr. Rem the Magistrate, arrived
at the Tower to endeavour to persuade the people to
disperse ; and also, as we understand, to read the Riot
Act, should his exhortations lot be productive of the
desired effect.

All the ramparts of the Tower are covered with

military.

TWO O'CLOCK.

Three men have passed up the ltlinories in a hack-'
ney-coach, all wounded with bullets, on their way to
the London Hospital. Sevtral men were shot, and
fell at the bottom of Billiter-lane, Fenchurch-street ;
but whether they are dead or not, we could not ascer-
tain. A boot-maker standing at his shop in Fen-
church-street, received a ball through his body, and
fell.—At this moment the City is in great commotion.
The principal part of the guards that escorted Sir
FRANCIS BURDETT have retired amidst the hisses of
the populace, and the thinking part of the populace
are withdrawing fast. Report says seven people have
received bullets in them ; how many out of them are
dangerously wounded we c*nnot learn.

THREE O'CLOCK.

-.lle town still continues in a state of uproar. The
people are now quitting the East and pressing to-
wards the West end of the town. Numerous parties,
however, are moving about Tower-hill in various
disections, and loud hi their expressions of disappro-
batio n.

Every embrasure in the Tower has a gun mounted
in it, and the Artillery-men are seen on the ramparts
with their port fires. Whenever an Officer is seen at
any of the port-holes, he is saluted with cries of—
f. BuitpErr for ever." A strong guard of the Vete-
ran Battalion stands immediately within the palisadoe
gate, outside of the ditch.
several of the wounded have been conveyed into
different houses on Tower-hill, and others have been
received into the Hospitals.

The Royal Bucks (King's Own), and Royal Perth-
shire regiments of Militia, marched from Dover
yesterday aftern•on, at four o'clock, for Canterbury,
on their way to London ; in consequence of an Ex-
press ordering these regiments to march directly.
Lord and Lady CASTLEREAGH left their house in
King-street, on Saturday, at four o'clock, and did not
again return.
Last night an American Messenger reached town
with dispatches from General ARMSTRONG, at Paris,
to Mr. Petquxxer, the American Minister. He came
from Dieppe in a Flag of 'Tice, and was landed at
Dover yesterday morning.
A letter from Captain PATSON, of the ship Henry
Morris, dated Montserrat, 26th February, to Messrs.
Wmtutsts and WILSON, at Liverpool, says, " The
Eleanor, from London, arrived here on the 25th, and
brought the unpleas ant intelligence, that the greater
part of the Cork feet had been destroyed by the
eniemy.” - -

The TUAII sloop of war, (the arrivwl of which was
announced in the STAR of Thursday,) on her passage
lima off the Island of P.ermuclit, spoke his Majesty's
sloop Goal, Captain PANG, who informed her, that
two dap before he fell in with a vessel from that
island, who told him that the Timms schooner, of six
guns, Lieutenant's name unknown, had fallen in with
and captused a ,Batavian East Indianian, of 10 guns,
said to be worth 4(X),000 dollars., The East India-
man hoisted American colours ; upon as shot being
fired from the aclooner, she hauled &am the Amen-
, tee colours. hoisted Batavian, and returned a broad-
dde ; when, after An action of cis hours, she struck
to the schooner. She proved to be a ship from Bata-
ia, bound to America, having on board Admiral!
HA*TSINK (who was desperately wounded) with all j
hi. property. The THAW brought home only four,
private letters. and these in answer to four she had
carried out.
Two divisions of Russian seamen arrived at Frank-
fort on the 22d and 25th ult. and on the following day
they were new clothed, and provided for the prose-
cution of their journey. The crews of the flotilla at
Trieste and Venice are to return home through Aus•
t trio.
A carter, named Santer, in the employ of Mr.
BAKER, of Beckley, in Sussex, was on Monday com-
mitted to Horsham Gaol, for having poured oil. of
vitriol into the mouths of five cart horses. It seems
he was induced to this cruelty by a spirit of revenge,
in consequence of having received notice to quit his
master's service, and that the horses might be made
to lose tkeig Gen-in:ion under the care of his successor.

the Gallicians considered themselves for the present
in a stave of security, and considerable industry was
employed in the works undertaken for the defence of
that part of the count: y, both in the neighbourhood
of the port and at the defiles of Montforte and Villa-
franca.
Cadiz papers to the 22d. ult. mention some sue.
cesses of the Patriots.at two extremities of the Penin-
sula, the one among the mountains at Ronda, where
900 Frenchmen were 101 ed, and the other is the
cinity of Pamplona, when 1000 of the enemy were
defeated.
Letters from Lisbon of the 26th of the same month

notice an action between the advanced guard of Ka,
mans and Sebastiani, when a cinantity of cattle ca
the road to Merida was rescued from the hands at
the invaders.

Letters from Amsterdam of the 3d instant, state
that the spirits of the people were less dejected, al-
though the exactions of the French were continued.—
Comaderable difficulties still obstructed the inter-
course of trade. and it was net even allowed to trans-
port merchandise from one province to another.—
The exchange was reduced.
Dispatches were on Saturday received from 1,,0rd
WELt.tmoToti. The British head-quarters continued
at Visco, and nothing of importance had occurred.

We have received information from Cadiz, which
accounts for the failure of the late sortie from the isle
of Leon, in a manner different from that stated in the
Spanish papers. The objects of attack, we under-
stand, were four batteries erecting at the top of the
Bay. It was intended to carry these by storm ; and
600 seamen who were to have gone in boats, an
English regiment, and some Spanish troops, were ap.
pointed to this service. The military had scarcely
passed the outworks when a rocket was dischatlea
from the island, and some sentinels deserted. The
British (a Highland) regiment, which composed the
advance, soon after fell in with the enemy, and sus-
tained some loss, upwards of forty being killed of
wounded. The Spaniards who were to hive co-ope-
rated in the attack, it is said, were not ready for three
hours after the time fired for moving forward. The
inhabitants of Cadiz were beginning to feel the incon-
venience of being so closely invested. Provisions
were becoming scarce and dear ; beef was sold et
2s. 6d. a pound, and fowls at 20s. a couple.

On Saturday, the purser of the country ship Boyne
arrived at the East-India House, with the intelligence
of the arrival off Portsmouth, of the following ce
ships,
viz.—The General Stuart, and Union, and country
ships Warren Hastings, Boyne, and Providence also.
the Louisa, from the Cape of Good Hope--These
ships bring no news, as they sailed from Madras in
October, previous to the RATTLESNAKE stoop of wat,
under convoy of the DOVER and CORNWALLIS frigates,
with stores for the Cape of Good Hope, where they
arrived the 25th December ; left there 14th January,
under convoy of the Itnesnoasz, touched at St. He-
lena, and sailed from thence the 10th February. The
Boyne, in passing through the Needles, struck several
times, but no great damage was apprehended. The
Streatham was taking in provisions ar the Cape for
St. Helena.

The brig Shaw, which Arrived on Wednesday at
Liverpool, fell in with, en the 16th ult. the Albion,
Captain KIRBY, of London, from New Brunswkk,
which had upset in a heavy gale on the 6th of Fe-
bruary, but some time after righted ; the Captain
and two seamen, the only survivors out of a crew of
thirteen, were in such an emaciated state, that when
the Shaw came alongside, they were not able to gee
into the boat, baring been S 8 days without food.—
They bad made a, temporary wood-hut, well secured'
to the rigging, but open at the top, and were found
there chewing the bark of a spar, which had been
their principal support. *For seven days they hair
been without water, and their misery had been aut.
mented by seeing their fellow-sufferers dying &i4l
for want.

Accounts from Port.au.Prince, in Hayti,
that on Friday the 22d of December, a barge arsrirla
there with ten English seamen, who had escaped from
Gonaivea. They reported, that they were part of
crew of 25, belonging to a brig which sailed from
London with a cargo of arms and ammunition fat
Cadiz ; but instead of proceeding to her destination,
she shaped a course for Caps Francois; on her anis
val at which port she was .consigned to his Serene
Highness Monseigneur CHIUSTOPHI4 as being actually
his property. With the brig were also put into his
hands the arms and. ammunition. Soon after the
brig was dispatched to Gonaives, where she hoisted
the flag of Curets-torus. The day on which this
change of colours happened, the English sailors ex.
' pressed their dissatisfaction at the occurrence, and
represented to CHRISTOPHEI that by serving in his
marine they would violate the laws of their country,
and subject themselves to punishment. This remon-
strance Wag ineffectual, the men prerred risking
their lives to a violation oftheir allegiance, and car•
ried off a barge, in which they arrived at Port.an.
Prince.
