past four "'clock, Oh Saturday evening.
At that hour Sir Francis .Burdett was
still at his house in piccadilly, before
which were at the time the Horse
Guards parole.
From tho Morning Chronitle OF Sa~
turday, we take the following para
graph.
SIR Francis arrived in town about
one O'Clock, where he received note
from the S-rjeant at Arms, informing
him at the order OF the House for his
connlittal, and requesting to know
when he should W it upon him with
the Speakers warran-, tor the purpose
OF accompanying him to the Tower.
Sir Francis, however, had not been
many minutes at his House, when Mr.
Coiman entered, and he was informed
that the Hon. Baronct would be at
leisure to speak with him about ~ o.
clock, this day. Upon this Mr. Col.
man departed; but about six O'Clock
IN the evening he again called, aud
s,aiing to Sir Francis that he had the
Speakers order 70 execute The warrant
forthwith. the Hen. Baronet replied
that he would NOT go with him. Mr.
Goldman urged the authority Of his war
rant, and that ne was entitlt d, if he
thought proper. TO call in aid for its
enforcement Sir Francis denied the
authority of such an instrument, al,eg.
iag his RICH to cali in aid, il he thought
proper, to resist its execution, and ex-
pressed his resolution to repel force by
force. Here the conversation termi.
hated, and Mr. Colman Withdrew.
In the course of the day the Lord
Ma or it is said sent, a note to the
Secretary OF S ate, requesting that Sir
Francis might not be sent to the city,
as he was aPprehensive of some viola
ton OF the puoilc peace.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
In the evening the multitude assem-
before the door OF Sir Francis Burdett
was ss great as completely to obstruct
the passage through Picadilly. Be-
tween eight and nine O'Clock, detach-
ment proceeded TO attack house in
Berkicy square, supposed to be Mr..
Letoridge's but which is now in pos
session OF Mr. Kaike.. The mob had,
however, destroyed the whole of the
windows before the mistake was dis
covered. We understand the dead
body of Mrs Raikes, who died with.
in these few days, was at that time in
the house. The mob next proceeded
TO the house of Lord Castlereagh, in
Kings street, ST. James's, of which
the whole of the windows were Instant
ly demolished. Returning again to
Is rkley square, the crowd attacked
Lord Dartmouth's house, and treated
it In the sane manner. they then
proceeded TO the house of Nh Yorke,
which experienced so yiolent an at
tack, that in moment not pane cf
glass remained whole. Mr. Percevai's
windows were also broken. These pro-
ceedings induced some of the inhabi-
tants to put lights in their windows, in
the hopes thst they would thereby a.
vert the fury oil the assaIlants. The
circumstance was quickly seized upon
by the aul.itude, and they very incon-
sIst,uily required lights TO be shewn
as proof of concurrence In their
sentiments respecting Sir +. b. The
consequence was, that all The streets
in th> West eud Of the town were bril-
liantly Illuminated. A large mob was
advancing against Lord Chatham's
house in Hili-street, but troop of the
Horse Guards, which had been called
out, very opportunity met the assail-
arts, and dispersed them.
The guards were called out, and
$50 men were sent TO protect the Ma
gazine in Hyde Park. Some of the
5 uns at the Tower were loaded with
CRAPS shot.
Il the course of yesterday, Sir Fran
tis Burdett, was visited by SIR Samuel
ko.DIIy, Mr Whitbread, Mr. Wardle,
lord folkstone, and Lord Thannet.
In addition to the attack, which we
