WEXFORD, APRIL 23.--AI a meeting of the Mer chants, &c. concerned in the ,corn trade, ,held on 11 , 11nday at the Court-house, pursuant to a ,requisi, lion ftom the Mayor, to tape' into consideration the unprecedented high price of provisions, and to adopt some measure's for lowering the same, it was unatitu-inusly,agreed to suspend the purchase of corn Imo a sufficiency was brought in to supply the de mands of the poor. It was also 'agreed, that a sub sciirion and a loan be immediately' entered into for the puichace of. provisions fur the use of, the poor, and selling ,out the same ~at reduced, prices; and that the Rev. Archdeacon Elgee and the ev. Mr. Corrin be requested to make application to the in . - habitants for the above purpose.---Herald. In consequence of the resolution; barley, which was as.itigh as 41s. per barrel, has fallen to 355. and o+:, !loin 28s. to 2,0 . 4.—Pid. _ _ v . It must be - highly gratifying to the to learn that six boats, containisig several thousand barrels of potatoes, of the best quality, have arrived since our. last, which, with many others hou.ly exPeaed, from the westward, will, we hc i pe, ,reduce that riecessary article-of life to nearly the standard price. Excellent po!atoes continue to arrive at our quays in deuudance, which sell at 6d. per stone.—Galway jourliat. We ,ire well plqased at having it in our power to state, that no apprehensions need to exist during the preqent period ..of scarcity, that the demands of the niitttau for potatoes or oatmeal, will be likely to r ; tise the price of either or these articles at our market, as we underitand that the Quarter- Master of the licyal Tyrone regiment, now quartered here, has, by order of : Government, entered into a ((Jilt ra :A with one of our bakers, who undertakes to sup;ilv the garrison ,with a sufficient quantity of bre.td. at the- rto of 2.1 d. a pound. Of this sum, .;overninertt rays a part, and he soldier the remain d- c, but we have not learned the exact proportion; the •r, sue, how, tv.r is consid,riqe one, and its corisennenc,:s no doubt will be salutary.—Galway ,chronicle. OR'inVOE )NSTITUTION, The following account of the ORANGE INSTITU -TION, which is composed of a - considerable body of the most loyal and respeElable charaEters in Ireland, has been given in- a Dublin Paper, and we insert it, because they have been frequently attacked with the grossest calumny In the years 1796, 7, and 8, a rebellion was hatched and matured. The zeal manifested by the disloyal of every religion, and the terrors with _which the nightly marauders inspired: the popula tion, had strengthened the cause of the United Irishmen so much, that many, who loved the Constitution, were, notwithstanding, through. in timidation at the atrocious cruelties of the dis afieaed nightly assassins, glad toeompromise with what they thought Was the strongest party ; which party terrified every person from joining any loyal Magistrate in the execution of his duty. This con spiracy assumed a very formidable aspel, from the great alacrity- - With- 'which the Papists joined in it. They commenced their career by robbing the houses of all Protestants of arms, murdering several, and otherwise chewing every symptom of making it a religious exterminating' war. Those' assum ing the revived name of Defenders, began to spread back to the North ; they were regu lated by a regular Committee, a who raised ma- - ney, bought arms, appointed officers, &c. It was not to be supposd that the Protest• ant body could view these scenes with indif ference—they trembled for self-defence—they were brave and numerous, yet. being detached from each other over the face of theacountry, and completely unorganized they were naked end defenceless—they applied to several Gentlemen of known loyalty and fidelity for their advice ; these Gentlemen, having called on others who could be depended upon, be gan most seriotislaatgreflea on the situation of the Protestant Body ; they viewed the case , thus—if we are to fight this nocturnal banditti with the law, while they fight us with the poignard,and the blen • derbuss, the consequence is easily foreseen; also, say they, the traitors are bound together by solemn vows, and by. secret signs ; they go no where that they don't know and support each other, - while we, from being utter strangers to each other, are incapable or knowieg . 4ho to trust, not knowing a friend from a foe. They justly thought this systematic plan was only to be counteraaed by a similar plan, conducted on Loyal Principles, at once , a rallying point for loyalty, and a means of prevent- ing the extension of a murdering Rebellion ; they, seeing the religious complexion this plot assumed, deemed it prudent to form a Protestant Association, called the LOYAL ORANGE ASSOCIATION, from Our Glorious Deliverer King William, Prince of Orange. This Society formed plans for the extension of their principles; they formed an Oath, the common Oath of Allegiance, with- this addition :—" I wit] support the Protestant Constitution in Church and State, as settled in - I 688; and I am not, never was, and : never will be of the SoCiety of United Irish men, or any other Society formed for the overturn ing of our present Government ; and that I will not conceal pny knowledge- of any treasonable matter that may at any time come to my knowledge; and I never will persecute, Or injure, or offend any roan for his religious opinions." This was, and is their Oath ; and :notwithitanding jany thing the Papist Party may allege to the contrary, they are bound to support,every Loyal Man, be. his Religion what it may, their only enemies being those 'of their King and Country. This is what the Papists call . the Bloody Oath. The Orangemen have frequently published these things, with a view to satisfy their fellow subjeas as to their views,, but the o:hers still continue to' defame and vilify them ; and the Orangemen have the exiretue satisfatlion of finding every rebel, of every persuaaion, their determined enemies, and view with pet lea indifference the tub, the Protestant Renegadoes throw out to the whale. by attending Catholic Meetings, for the purpose of vilifying those they , kriow they can depend upon in the hour of danger, and endeavouring to gain the friendship of those whom they secretly mistrust and despise; and it is most assUredly, true, that an Orange Man is a better frend, and would go further to really serve a Catholic, than those who serve ttam at so very cheap a rate as these' immaculate friends of religious liberty, who are generally returned for Counties wherd the mass of voters are Catholic; and they think a. few words after a good dinner are much easier procured than the more solid means of, carrying on an expensive Eledlion—so much for such men and their motives.---We now come the effect of the Orange- Institution ;—The Pro testants, finding a rallying point, flocked to it in thousands, arid from attang defensively, began to open and dated these conspiracies, and con tributed in a great degree towards their Sup pression ; they augmented so much, that, finaily, a complete stop was put to the operations of the conspirators; they also offered General Knox fifty thousand men, whenever called on by the Govern ,ment ; and so well assured was that gallant officer ,of their loyalty and courage, that he frequently said, that- with the assistance of the. Orange Body alone, that lie would. undertake the defence or the Province of Ulster. l'his accounts for the hatred certain people entertain for the Orange Body ; but the hatred ur esteem of such is equally indifferent. to men conscious of their own integrity. WONDERFUL PEDESTRIAN UNDERTAKING.—Mi. Bai nham, a gentleman of fortune, on Monday morn ing undertook, for a wager of 100 guineas, to trivet on foot frOm Oxtord-street to Tailing End, near Beaconsfield, and return (thirty-six miles), in five. hours. Betting, was touch in favour ot time at starting. The pedestrian did eight miles in each ot. ,the first hours, and he had eleven minutes to spare when" he- had accomplished half the undertakiog. On his returttto Southall, he halted at Mr. Hull's, much distressed, but he continued his labour, and resigned when within three miles of his journey's •ad, unable to proceed. • EXECUTIQN.-Hukh .

Extra& Of a - leiter from an Officer - of the 81st giment i dated Palermo; Feb. 10, 1812 rr Yott have of course heard of bur wanderings and dubitations here, which, however,.have ended in Our 'being quietly settled in Palermo. After hav ing been told often enough to make One dithelieve anything ; that the Queen was determited upon taking her chance in war, we embarked at Melazio on the i i ih of January. at an hour and a halt's no, tire; and in- the course of the following day were joined by the tOth, 2.15t,.27th, the British and 1.fo• reign light battalions, brigades of mountain . guos, and two - squadrons; of the 20th Dragoons; in t all about 8000" men. The Sicilian force was understood 'to be about 19,000, of whom 9000-', were Neapoli• tans,.and_stipposed to be entirely in_ the Queen's in, terest. On Christmas-Day, she had called• her Household and principal•Officers•together ; 'made a violent appeal to them,.and - asked, would-they not defend her and her kingdom from the insults.of the heretics:Bx. Letters.were sent to all the monastic houses, c riling on them to,rouse. the people Tor the preservation of their religion. The monastic tousfs however, left the business entirely to her Majesty. A council of War was held, which decided, that if the fidelity of the troops could be ascertained, some thing might be done. Not daring to confide in them, distrusted-by the people, and abandoned by the most popular and distinguished of. tire nobility, the Queen deputed the Heir-apparent, as Vicar general, to compromise. the matter. After being embarked for 5 days, and landed, we again embarked on the 30th of January, for Palermo. We entered the bay in the evening, and just as the sun. was setting over the city. The whole scenery was beautiful ; the sea was as still as a lake. We were .slowly pas,iiig a retreat about seven miles from the city,where most of the noblesse have their country palaces. The architecture looked • Palladian, the country seemed highly cultivated, and the shore was green. to the water's edge. Palermo lay on the r ight with the whole. magnificent confu sion of its-domes and cupolas; a promontory fermi- Itated the view on that side, and the prosped -was backed - by a range of almost Alpine hills, -.covered with snow, ..and lighted by . the rich and dazzling colours of the sun, that was sinking: behind them.— You have never seen a snow mouptain, andean of course have no idea of the effects of sun-beams upon such summits es are now • befom us, There .was something striking in the first introduaion of a Bri tish force into a -city, where -a week before we were expected to•march as enemies. The weather was remarkably - favourable-: we landed at three in ' the afternoon, -and the- day was Sunday. On land ing by regiments, we were formed on the Marino, and made a line of about 3000 men. The Corso was crowded iiith .brilliant equipages, numbers of them in the most modern stile of :elegance; a great many Sicilian officers were-.present ; and the multi tude of the lower-orders that came down to see our exhibition, extteeded.all my previous ideas of Sici lian population. Though some of their own regi, ments are very fine, yet they were obviously strudi with the appearance of our's; and there is, un doubtedly, • a correspondence 'and propriete' in the arrangements of our's, to which they are UtlaCCUS torned. The populace seem very well pleased with' us 3 but _till we are better known here, I should pre sume our game is a nice one. Lord -William, who is reckoped here a sensible man, and a good soldier, rode along the _line. Lady. William was. also on horseback. - The D.-ke and Docliess were present ; the Duke, a well-h:oking man e about forty ; 'and the Duchess, evidently noble, with a countenance as pale, as striking, and as melarichOlv, as if she had been a true Bourbon of France. The old Queen and the Hereditary Prince were in a private car-. riage, but it was - not known at the time,' andl;ost: the sight of royalty. Mr. .Howard, the heir of Norfolk ; Lord Moutgomerie, the Earl of Eglinton's . son,' the Duke of Leinster and his brother, with a number of strangers, .were there. Lthiek, had the nation been hoStile, we could scarcely have reached Palermo. -There is no landing place between Me lazzo andValermo 3 for we coasted the whole way,, and I watched the shore, except at about twenty Miles from Palermo, and there it did not - appear that artillery could land, or even - if• it could, there ore passes between it - and Palermo:whi s ch lire scarce ly accessible to a convoy of naules,—a Single com pany could check 'an army. The' peasants are armed from their childhood ; and you may have some idea of the general nature of the -interior, when-1 tell you that the 20th dragoons, who are to make their entrée here to-day in all,their pomp, It Ave been twelve days travelling, or rather ing their way among tau miles of -mountains and precipices. Our regiment are quartered in an im mense Dominican Convent 3 and we - have all- be haved so amiably in the eyes of the Fathers, that they have invited us to a .feast in their reledory to day. This is• absolutely unprecedented in Sicily. So much for the English Heretics. • The Luddites at Nottingham, we fear, have re linquished their system of .lianie-breaking only to commit a6ts of much greater atrocity. Letter's from thence received yesterday„ mention the loll3,:ing outrke:—On Monday night last, about- eleven o'clock, Mr. Trentham, of the house of Trentham, Tierney, and Motion, in the weaving trade, was way*-laid on his.return home by two. ruttivl4. Just as he was about to step u;► to his dool, one of . ththn placed himself befOre hint, and presenting a pistol, shot him through the left breast : the assassins then, made their escape. The report of,fire-artus. having. brought the neighbours to the spot, .surg'cal assist ance was immediately procured,. arid .the ball was extra:Aed from the back, a Lille below the left shoulder. . Mr. Tienthatn- s being 63 years of age, little hope is entertained of his recovery.: Tite,Cor poraiion of , Nottingham have offered a reward of tool. for the discoveiy orthe villains. • • The Richmond gun-vessel, Liemenanr BARTHO- Lomns,v, discovered on theist of March a French privateer, which, after a chace of three lours, run her on shore in a heavy gale of .wind.hear Malaga. The privateer mounted eight guns, and . bad between 50 and 60 men on board ; was from _Algiers to Malaga, .with ,a cargo, of tour,' for the use of the . French troops. She soon "afterwards went to pieces. The pritateer's crew -with difficulty escaped on shore, owing to a heavy surf, in which one of their boats upset.
