trowsers, which the men objected to, and some of them refusing
to obey the word of command, were taken up and put into the

a large body, advanced to the prison, broke open the doors, libe-
rated their comrades, and carried them off in triumph; several of

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
BAIR, MAY 18.—Considerable alarm has been created by a
mutiny of the Regiment of Local Militia which is now here. It
was agreed by the flank companies, that when on parade of
Thursday, whichever should be first ordered to advance, should
refuse until paid their marching guineas : two of the leaders were
in consequence under arrest, and in the evening were rescued by
their comrades from the prison In which they were confined, and
several debtors, in the confusion, also made their escape. The
rioting winch ensued assumed a v.,ry serious appearance, and 1d
not cease till considerable bodies of troops were marched into the
! town. In the course of this day, not less than 40,000 men have
I art hull in the neighbourhood of the City, from all the surrouoding
i di tricts.
