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 hcipe,
,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

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, awho 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. Macdonald, Neil Suther-
land, and Hugh M'lntosh, the two first for lob-
bery, and the last for murder and rObbery, coin-
' milted on the 31st of December and the it of Ja-
-111.1.0y last, were executed at Edinburgh on Wed-
, ilesday.
