THE KING lIPPBURNAINTD' ANOTHER.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved the Judgment
of the Court on the Defendants Lieut. Col. Hepburn
and Capt. John M'Cumming, one the Ciumnandanr,
the other the Pay-m tster of His Majesty's 3tsc
Reg;tnenf.

They were tried before Lord` EL I.F.Nnottoticri
and a Special Jury, at Westminster, the Sittings after

ON Wednesday afternoon, about four o'clock, the
trumpet; of the sth Dragoons sounding a call for
Serjeoits, and the drums of the zd Staffordshire
Miiitia beating for the same purpose, caused an
mediate alarm in the town. It is said the drum..
boys, by mistake aaually beat to arms ; and in a
few minutes the Regulars, Militia, Volunteers,
Association, &c. were flying to their different
places of parade, in complete readiness-for march_
int.; : and the alacrity she wn on the occasion exceeds
31; description. In a short time they were dismis-
sed, with orders to hold themselves- ready at a mo-
ment's 'warning. The true cause of the alarm is not
yet known; various have been the reports, but, we
belirve, without foundation.
On Thursday motning the same rumour caused, a
considerable degree of alarm at Durham ; but there
the report was modified into an assertion that a large
feet of ships, supposed to be French, were seen off
Berwick-upon.Tweed. In consequence the Volum-
teer Corps were all or. the alert, and much to their
credit, shewed the greatest anxiety to racer '' this
scourge of Nations." Major MOWBRAY, with his
usual ezertionc, dispatched Messengers immediately,
and (notwithstanding several of his Corps arc at a
few miles distant) had his whole Corps in readiness
to assemble at their post, on the Palace Green, in'
less than two hourS,; fully equipped for the
The disposition which was manifested in the Corps
at their disappointment in being 'countermanded,
shewed evidently their readiness at any time to
meet the Enemy ; and it must be highly gratifying
to Major MowsRAY, to have the honour of com-
manding such a Corps. Colonel FErstwicx has.
.equal reason to be proud of the Reglment he com-
mands.
