In common with all our cotemporaries, we were
misinformed, yesterday, respecting the occurrences
which took place after the House of Commons ad-
journed in the morning. , Indeed there were so many
contradictory reports in circulation that it was not tilt
towards evening that the real truth transpired. The
particulars which are subjoined may be relied on.:
The warrant for committing Sir FRANCIS BURDETT
to the Tower was signed by the SPEAKER soon after
the Vote of the House had passed, and given to Mr.
COLMAN, the Serieant at Arms, to execute.
In the mean time Mr. JONES BURDETT, who had
remained in the vicinity of the House of Commons
throughout the night, proceeded to Wimbledon to
apprize his brother of the result of the debate.
Sir FaANCIS returned to town with his brother, and
reached his house in Piccadilly about one o'clock,
where, we understand, he received a note from the
SERJEANT at ARNIS, informing him of the order of the
House for his committal, and requesting to know when
he should wait upon him with the SPEAKER'S warrant,
for the purpose of accompanying him to the Tower.
FRANC.IS, however, had not been many minutes
at his house when Mr. COLMAN entered, and he was
informed the Honourable Baronet would he at leisure
to speak with him about twelve o'clock this day.—
Upon this Mr. COLMAN departed ; but about six
o'clock in the evening he again called, and stating to
Sir FRANCIS that he had the SPEAKEIL'S order to exe-
cute the warrant forthwith—the Honourable Baronet
replied, that he would not go with him. Mr. Cot,
DIAN urged the authority of his warrant, and that he
was entitled, if he thought proper, to call in aid for
its enforcement. Sir FRANCIS denied the authority of
such an instrument, alledging his right also to call in
aid if he thought proper to resist its execution, and
expressed his resolution to repel force by force. Here
the conversation terminated, and Mr. CotxtAx with-
, drew.

In the course of the day Sir FRANCIS was visited at
his house by Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, Mr. WHITBREAD,
Lord FOLKSTONE, Lord THANES', Mr. WARDLE, Mr.
TRACEY, and many otner persons of distinction. They
were all loudly cheered by the assembled populace in
going to and returning from his house.
At one time during the forenoon, from the circum•
stance of Dr. PEARSON having driven up to the door
in his carriage, it was supposed that Sir FRANCIS was
ill, but the anxiety therebyoccasioned quicklysubsided
when he arrived on horseback, from Wimbledon, and
dismounted. Dr. PEARSON'S visit was intended for
an infant child of his friend Sir FRANCIS: on leaving
and returning to his carriage, the Doctor was greeted
with loud acclamations. Sir FRANCIS is in perfect
health and in high spirits : he supped with a friend
in Maddox-street last night.
It is impossible to describe the sensations excited in
the public mind throughout this great metropolis
yesterday, as soon as the decision of the House of
Commons was generally known. Numbers flocked
towards the Tower to witness his reception ; but by
far the most numerous assemblage took place before
the Baronet's residence in Piccadilly. Most of them
were distinguished by dark blue ribbons, some of
which had the words " BvilDsrr for ever," inscribed
on them. The concourse was much increased by
tlie following placard which was stuck up at an early
hour all over Westminster :.
