IANoTHKR ACcouNr.1

The measures adopted last night for the
prevention OF all riot and disturbance, in the
neighborhood Of Sir F. Burdett's house in
Piccadilly, were successful. All carts, car
riages, CSC. Coming into the West end of the
street by Hyde Park corner, were Obliged to
go round, and all coming into the East end
of Piccadilly were obliged to go round also.
In the course OF this morning, not even a
foot passenger was suffered in the space op
posite the Barcnet's house, which was thus
left entirely to the military and civil power.
IL this state of things, Sir Francis Burdett
remained at home all night, and the SERGEANT
at Arms, Mr. Colman, the Deputy SERGEANT,
Mr.. Clementson, with the messenger Wright
Jones, SHELTON, Blake, &c. continued in Pic
cadiily during the whole night, in order to
execute the Speakers warrant. About ele
ven o'clock this morning, was judged to be
favorable opportunity to make the attempt.
and with that view they proceeded to his
house, from the Gloucester Coffee House.
The doors and windows on the ground floor
being secured, and there being no chance of
admission III that quarter, ladder was
brought and placed against the window in
the front dining room, on the first floor--One
OF the messengers of the House of Com
mons Immediately assembled, bot we arc in

being strong and well supported, they soon

1Cenniit!ai Of Sir Francis Burdetf.

The tumults in London still continue
+: Burdett wrote on Saturday to the Sheriff
Oh MIddlescx, to assist him with his aid a.
gainst violence of oppression, by calling out
the posse comitatus.
On Saturday the mob assembled in much
greater numbers than ever. At IL o'clock
the serleant at arms came to Sir Fran
cls's house, but was as before, refused
admittance, the chain of the door being KEEP,
OH. 81,
At 1.-TWO O'Clock an immense motley crowd
mad collected some with purple ribbons
In their hats, others with purple flags hois
ted ON the ends of their sticks-every
carriage that passed was obliged to do
homage, the servants being compelled to
take off their hats, cheer, and cry out, " Bur.
dett forever"
About ten o'clock on Monday morning,
Sir Francis was taken in custody !; the con-.
stables entered the house by the kitchen,
and were followed by the SERGEANT at arms
Alter conversation, in which they deni.
ed the Speakers authority, the SERGEANT and
messengers, and constables, took him into
custody, and upon signal being given, a
glass coach approached The street door, and
the cavalry made the greatest haste to sur
round the coach, to the number of several
hundreds, The Baronet was lput in first,
and was followed by the SERGEANT at arms,
and another officer. Two of the Baronet's
friends got in after them but, as we under
stand, were obliged to get out again.
ne coach, escorted by the cavalry, now
set eft a. quick rate, up Albermale street,
across Bond street, through CONDUIT street,
and Hanover square, for the new road, in
order to avoid passing through the main
streets. The capture was made at an ear
lier hour than the crowd had been in
the habit of assembling. The event there
tore was not Immediately or generally
known.
The cry soon spread far and wide Picca-
dllly, Pail Mall, and st. James's street, were
deserted. and the tide rolled rapidly after
the Baronet's coach but it went at so great
a rate, that 1T was not overtaken.
AT quarter past twelve, arrived at the
Tower about 20 Of the Horse Guards, who
rode up towards the Tower gates. At the
distance OF 100 yards came about 800 of the
18th Light Dragons, then about 200 of the
Horse Guards, having in the middle of them
the coach containing Sir F. Burdett
The windows of the coach were down
Sir Francis sat on the right behind he
sat forward, and was well seen. AS he pas
sed, there was much huzzaing the Guards
flourished their swords to intimidate the
mob.
Sir Francis was admitted about one o.
clock.
Upon the return of the military from the
Tower, the mob attacked the last platoon,
with stones and mud---the cavalry fired
their pistols
Several are said to be killed and wound

There is a rumor again afloa, of a nego-
ciation being on foot between Great Britain
and France. Certain it is, that a Mr..
M henzie was to leave London on Thurs
day last for Morlaix, for the avowed purpose
of negotiating an exchange of prisoners but,
though this may be the ostensiblc object, it is
believed that peace is Connected with his
mission.
1t is further rumored that Bonapsrte had
positively promised an act OF grace to such
British subjects as were detained in France
at the commencement Of the war and such
is the sensi5iIity of the British funds to all
pacific rumors that the three per cent con

zure of our property in France.

houtss, of New York, captured on her voy.
age from Tonningen, and carried into Bou.
lcgne, writes to his consignees thus" OF
the mouth of the English Channel, was
boarded ny privateer, treated politely and
suffered to proceed. Soon after, was
boarded by three small French boats, who
took the brig into Boalogne, put myself
and crew into prison, would not allow me
20 speak to any one, or to have pen, ink or
paper. After being imprisoned some DAYS,
was suffered to proceed to an inland town,
where I was permitted to have pen, inksAza
paper" 'H' :
This brig was owned, commanded, and
navigatsd by native citizens of the u. S.
No cause for this outrageous conduct was
assigned by the captors.
