Sir Francis Burdett.


The noncompliance of Sir Francis
Burdett, with the warrant Of the Speak
Ell of the House of Commons, to COM
nit him TO the Tower, absorbed all O.
Their considerations.-The motion for
his commitment passed the House of
Commons ON Friday morning, z o.
clock. He did not arrive in London nn-
Ill about one O'Clock on the same day,
from his seat at Wimbleton.-When
he arrived, he received note from the
Sergeant at Arms, informing him Of
the decision of the House Of commons,
and requesting to know when he should
wait upon HIM with the Speakers war
rant. Sir Francis, however, had not
been many minutes at his house. when
he was called upon by Mr.. Coleman,
[the Sergeant az .dr7ls) who was inform
ed, that Sir Francis would speak with
him at ~ O'Clock on Saturday-but a.
bout in the evening of Friday, Mr..
Coleman called again, and stated, from
the Speaker of the House of Commons,
that he had orders to execute his war
rant forthwith. Sir Francis then refu-
sed 10 60 with him, denied the author
ity of the instrument, and expressed
his resolution of repelling force by
force. MIR. Coleman then withdrew.
During this period, a large crowd
assembled round the house of Sir Fran
els, in Piccaddilly but more num-
erous concourse filled all the streets
adjacent TO the Tower and towards
evening the assemblage was immense.
Such serious approximations were en-
tertained of the issue of this business,
that the Police Offices were kept open
dnring the night of the debate, and in
the course Of Friday the Lord Mayor
sent note to the Secretary of State,
requesting that Sir Francis might not
be sent to the city, as he was appre-
hensive of some violation of the public
peace.
PreCards were posted through the
town, calling upon the citizens of
Westminster I" to adopt such measures
as might be thought eXpedient, in con.
sequence of the House Of Commons
having deprived" them Of one oftletr
REPRESENTATIVES, and parties were all day
going about Westminster, procuring
the signatures of house-keepcrs for the
support of Sir Francis. In the even
ing,the multitude was so great, near
his house, as completely to obstruct
the passage through Picadilly. The
mob then proceeded to violent Excess
