ARGUS. “Here TR UTUimlictns'd reitigs, And dare accost den kings themselv ts rulers of the free MILLEDGEVILLE : WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1810. The papers are crowded wiih mat ter relative to the cafe of Sir F ran- Cis liURDETT—-the nobleman not only of England but of Nature.— Not having it hi our power to go into a detail of the incidents, are are compelled, however reluctantly, to attempt to give them in abftraCt.... Some ftri&ures appeared in a Lon don paper entitled The Forum, on the propriety of difcufThig the en quiry relative to the Walcharen ex pedition with doled doors. The printer (Mr. Deane) was brought to the bbr of the Houfe of Commons, and called upon for the author...he gave up Mr. John Gale Jones v/ho was brought to the bar and there a- pologiztd, regretting that he fhould have been the caufeof the {offerings of t!ie printer, and alledging that he had unintentionally violated the pri vileges of Parliament. Dean alter making ail apology was difeharged ; but Jones was committed to New gate. Sir Francis denied in the Houfe of Commons that ihey pof- fefled any right to irnprifon Mr. Jones and moved that he might be dif- charged, but his motion was nega tived by a majority of 139. Sir "Francis then addreffed a letter tohiv con diluents juftifying his conduct, which will be found in this day’s Argus. On the 5th of April an i animated debate look place on a mo- j tion to commit Sir Francis to the ] Tower ; the di feu (Tion of this mo tion occupii d the w hole night, and it was not until 7 o’clock in the morning of the 6th, that the motion was carried, 190 to 152; this was but a lank majority for a Minifterial queflion. l’he Speaker i(Tiled his warrant and dire&cd the Sergeant at Arms to ferve it without delay...Sir Francis let it be underdood at an early flage of the proceedings, that lie fhould conceive himfelf juftified in repelling the attempt to execute the warrant with force. The war rant was not ferved until the 9ih ,of April.—Conceiving a detail of this part of the proceedings will he acceptable to our readers, as it will enable them to form fome idea of the popularity of Sir Francis, and cf the apprehcnfions evinced by the men in power of a refeue tak ing place ; and no doubt afford them cotifiderable gratification to find that although the facred fume of free dom las been {mothered for fome time pad in England, yet it is not entiiely extinct-—and anticipate with delight, what will be the refult if the people are true to thenifolves ...“The ave made any further rcfiftance, & he was obliged to fubmit to force. A very low fliabby-looking carriage was waiting at the door. Sir Fran cis was brought out and put into it, and the Sergeant at Arms, Mr. Col- man, Hoped in after him. The mi litary force was now very ftrong, & became concentrated around the car riage, which drove up Albemarle ftreet, into Bond ffreet the New road, Marylabonne, and along Finfbury, to the Tower. The tioops of the Horfe Guards proceeded the carriage, and feveral of them rode along fide. A regiment of light horfe immediately followed the carriage, and the rear was brought up by a very ftrong bo dy of the life guards. The cavalcade, as it proceeded, excited wonderful ir.tereft, and the crowd attending it increafed to fucli an extent, that by : the time Sir Francis reached the Tower, the crowd had blocked up the Minories, and all the ftreets in iis vicinity, and it became impoffible for cart or carriage to pal's. All the lhops were fliut, and all bufinefs v/as at a Hand. On the whole line to the Tosver, the immenfe concouife of people in the rear continued fliout- ing and hallooing, and the troops were hooted ar.d infulted with abu- five language by the populace as tlu y paffed, while prayers an pvaifes were beftowed upon Sir Ftancis.

Pichon is in the fer- vice of king Jerome, fomething in the nature of a privy counfellor, an accident curious enough if we only confider that Pichon was retailed & in temporal y difgrace, at the fpecial intlance of Jerome.—Aurora.

About eleven this morning was judged a favourable opportunity to make the attempt, and with that view they proceeded to his houfe, from the Gloucefler Coffee houfe.— The doors & windows on the ground floor being fecured, and there being no chance of admiflion in that quar ter, a ladder was brought and placed againfl a wind* w in the front dining room on the full floor.
