',' Sir Francfs Burdett.--3?voTCi the files of Lon don 'papers to the 22d of May, we have occasional ly published se veral 'articles relative; to the ques tion which agitates the capital of the British em pire. 'We say ' tajiiialySov we are assured, ver bally and by their newspapers, that the metro politan djsifk and that partially, ..A gentleman, himself a stick ler far reform, informs us that he was inXondon when Sir Francis was arrested that he-afterward 3 crossed the kingdom; that the people out ot Middlesex were uniformly aeainst vio lence. We published last week' the protest signed by: eighty Liverymen, against the Common Hall and Burdett. The Morning Chronicle" of May 15, ivo i befora-us, contains (including the above) upwards of J 60Q signatures to that Pretest, all Liverymen of, London. Sir James Shaw asserted in the House ot Commons on the 8th of May, that 1500 signed in one day. Alderman Combe replied that the Liverymen consisted of at least "12,000. The paper is o pen for additional signatures, so that atJeast -a powerful minority of the capital are against Bur dett, and he is supported no where in the country Indeed those whom the ministerial papers term the most shameless libellers in the- city, seem to acknowledge that they have overacted their part ; they have alarmed all men of property ; all who thmk with 1 horror of the French rvolutidn are ready to oppose the violence which at such sT period would overwhelm the ins and outs, the pro perty, the liberty, and independence of their country. Take as an instance the following from the " London times," of May 28, an opposition paper, which hesitates not to charge the govern ment with corruption. v. ...... " We have never run into the extravagance of even palliating tfie recent disturbances and intem perate conduct of those who are seeking for '' .reformation' with so much zeal. "We gave it as our opinion, at the very commencement of the .agitation in question, that it was a- thing most desirable to the perpetrators of public wrongs; that it would tend to screen themand that much, evil would in consequence result, from it: ; and every nay convinces us more strongly ot the and reasdn imt to JxmtcvXi complairi of 'those who in the' turbulent ftouY ot summary justice' resort itohfcir'weaponne people are acquitted ; the parliament stands con demned.-The sword fell but last wceK from king Cuaules's statue ; this would be an omen to the superstitious ; nor' is it unnatural that ministers whoscorn arguments, should place truth in por- tents." .-r; .'.' - . The Fiench emperor, says a London paper of May 23, m fact acknowledges his incapacity to conquer Spain! The French force south of the Douro oh the 1 3th 6f May, was said to be only 37,000 in all ; which is inferior tcCihe army of Lord Wellington. Ney had advanced from Sala manca.towards Ciudad Rbdrigo with 20,000 men ; Junot had i 3,000 at Astorga. Lord Wellington's head quarters were at Celerno. The Duke of Abrantes, (Junot) had worsted the Spaniards in skirmishes near Astorga. Lord Wellington, says the Moniteur of May 15, remains with the Eng lish arm v a spectator of these events----he does f notBove fromhiscamp ; he hears the sound ot the cannon of Astorga,, of BadaigsCadiZj but contents himself with fomentinglffiufre furnishing arms and clothing." - '''?
