STATE OF PARTIES IN IRELAND.
We copy the followin,z article from 77,c a,
moruihir Poet of Monday last :
nessne. ow:smeary—red:se or Till ArGIRRI--NC.;
OATti—IetILITART ORGANIZATION nr Tliz LonGE:4!!!
In our paper of Saturday we promised to lay before
*a Irish public, a statement contailting matter of the
;Repeat importance to the peace and well being of this
country—we now proceed to redeent oar pledge :
The readers of 7'Aeelforeing Pose aretaiready aware,
from articles which hate appeared, from time to time,
in our columns, that a schism has taken place in
the Orange Societies—a certain measure aerompateled
by new signs and pass-words, originating with the
chief, or, as they call it, "Grated Lodge, in Dublin,"
having been proposed for adoption in the provinces,
and, in many instances, rejected with strong di-appro-
bation. We hare ascertained the nature of this pro-
ceeding, which, even among Orangemen. has cau..ed
so much alarm. and we pledge ourselves for the truth
-of what we publish.
It was well known that the plan laid clown and acted
upon in thee years 1796, 7, awl 14, by the United iri •ii-
men of that period, was to convert the existing re, it
organization of that body into a military array, sworn
to obedience. This organisation produced the rebel-
lion which immediately followed, a consegnence whirls
lucked must follow the embodying or enlistment of
such a farce secretly organized, and ready to appear
in arms when called upon. This example has been now
followed by the leaders of the Oran- party in
country—we call upon the present Wand Master to
deny it, if what we state he 'entree ; we can name our
authority should that be necessary.
Before this important change, the oath comprising
the Orangeman's allegiance, was rondirinnal. In the
necessary approximation to treason of all secret poli-
tical societies, haeing views and objects distinct from
those of the Government under which they live, the
eleienent oath has lwete t•onyerted iutu oar of plainer
import, and of mole decided character. '1 be new oath
is to the following effect :--" 'flott fart, Orangraaaa

RELIQUEi or ANTIqUITY.

Two of those antique Eoltlen crescents, of an oh'
usual large size, the use of which has fur ages bathed
the resesichcs of the antiquary awl hi,torian, have
been lately found in this neig-blmitrlitunl. flue of
them by Tiontas It win, farmer, near FillilcaGb, (who,
nit aware of it,. value, had adapted it as a handle for
a d mr): the other IVAS found bear Sltotaglian. They
ate of the purest gold, and weigh above sic ounces.—
Leilwirb, in his antiquities of Ireland, coincides in the
opinion of P.1.,h0p Pocock, that they were used as
brooches or gorgetts by the ancient Irish, whilst some
of the learned professors of the Institution, agree with
one or two of our celebrated antiquarians, that they
were used as bells by the Druids, in the celebration of
ti..•.r religious ceremonies, and the very fine tone pro-
duced by striking the cups at the ends of the crescent,
s arrant that opinion.--Our lamented philosopher and
pavt, Dr. Drennan, iu his poem of ‘. Wen/ht./of-h."
heantifoilly alludes to those ceremonies, in the follow.
int; lines :--
" In Rowing robes of .footless white.
in, arch Druid issue., forth to light ;
Brow-bound with leaf of holly oak.
That never felt the woodinan's stroke ;
Behind his head a crescent shone.
Like to the new discover'd moon ;
While flumine from his snows vest.
The plate of judgment clasp'd his breast;
Around him pressd the illinnind throne—
Above hien rose the light of song—
And ftom the rocks. the woods around
Roturn'd the Meet-wing'd sons of sound."
There are two crontleclis, or Druidical altars, very
near the spot the largest crescent was found. Mr.
Stuart in his learned " Iliztory of Armagh," gives a
drawing of one which was found at Knapp*, in that
county ; but it appears much smaller than those now
come to light.
They were purchased by Mr. Robert Neill, watch-
maker and jeweller, of this town, and will most likely
be shortly consigned to the crucible, from whence,
after having been worn by the sages or heroes of their
tountry, they may be transfortued into ornaments to
adorn the fair daughters of Erin.—(l

r' We were led into an error by our Reporter, regard• I
ing the Petition of the Prelates to the House of Lords. ,
It was stated that Lord Donoughmore had declined ,
presenting the Petition. It is true he did not present
it on the motion for the second reading, because it
would nqt bare been right to do so, sad he only fol-
lowed is this respect the suggestion of the Petitioners
themselves. The Petition was only against certain
clauses in the • Bill, not against its principle. Had it
gotten into Committee, where those clauses might he
modified, than would have been the time for laying it
on the table, and that is the time Lord Donouglimore
would have chosen. As things have turned out, this
is net now of much consequence, but it is right, at ail
times, to correct an injurious mistatement.—(Deselin

The domestic articles they contain are of veiy slight
importance; their chief contents are those which relate

were published on 31mitlay.

the energetic measures which have been adoptel against
the attempts of the revolutionists in the Lingdoni of
Naples, have been sufficient to re-establish affairs on the
ancient footing, atal to form a complete senility apanat
new troubles. It appears. howevei, that the Allied 4'a-

their efforts, are desirous of preventing s 'tar offences.

The public functionaries of Zamora are promoting a
subscription for erecting monuments to Padilla, and
some other eminent Svaniarrls, will in the I fith cen-
tury distinguished themselves by their patriotic
achievements, and the expiation of their virtues on the
scaffold. The affair at Barcelona, as appears by the
subsequent detail, has ended in the exile of the Bishop,
a few citizens nlto compromised themselves by trea-
sonable conduct, amt the three foreign soldiers of for-
tune, General's Sat slield, Campbell, and Fournas—
each respectively of Irish, Scotch and French ex-

traction.
hisuatn, APRIL 13.—The disturbances at Barcelona
were quieted by sending some persons off. It is singular
that almost all the obnoxious persons were of foreign
origin : Generals Sarrfield and Campbell, though in
the service of Spain, are of English descent. General
Maim de Fournas is a Frenchman. He has received per-
mission to return to France, and the others go to the isle
of Majorca along with the Bishop of Barcelona. The
Grand Vicar of the diocess will be allowed to remain.
Except this exiling of several individuals, no violence
has been committed.
The town of Zamora is erecting a monument in
honour of three celebrated Spaniards, viz., Juan de Ce-
dilla, Francisco Maldonado, and Juan Bravo, who, after
sustaining the popular cause in the Cortes of 152%
headed the insurrection of the cossemitiedes. On the 23d
of April, 1521, they were defeated and made prisoners at
Villabar, and next day their heads rolled on a scaffold
erected by the Ministers of Charles V. The magistrates
of Zamora have issued a proclamation inviting their fel-

AN.

to assist at the funeral honours abnttt to be
• illnstrinus victims of liberty in all the
. Zamora, while a monument, worthy of their
memory, is to be rased by public gratitude and lolutVek-
tion.
At Nal les, it is alleged in the following para-
graph, some hopes are entertained that the King will
grant a Representative Constituthon, consisting of
estates of Lords and Commons. What grounds the
people have to look for this, or to expect any better
lot than that under Which they succumbed, must bt
beyond the conception of reasonable men.
Names, A ref m. 7.—M'iih regret prevails here incon-
sequence of the deiay of the King in returning to his
capital. There is no end to the conjectures respecting
the departure of the Prince of Salerno for Laybach. The
persuasion is general, that on his arrival, the first objest
of the King will he to give a:representative constitution
to his people. Titis much is already regarded ascertain,
that the fundamental principles of the new system whirls
the King intends to establish in his States are—a parlia-
ment in two chambers; the imposts to be voted by the
patiiartient ; time equality of 411 citizens in the eye of the
law; the admissibility of all to all employments; secnrity
against the removal of citizens from their natural judges,
&c. On this subject his Majesty has given the most flat-
tering and the most positive assurances to the different
deputations that have repaired to him.
Some Austrian troops have marched for Salerno and
Avellino. The disposition of Sicily appears to he sinner-

The only articles in the French papers relative to

J Assr, Mattel' 19.—Prince Ypsilanti has marched at
the bead of a corps d':srutee, consisting of DOM Ar-
nauts, Moldavian' and Greeks, with 15 pieces of ran-
nun. Prince Scion continues the warlike preparations
with much activity, and the sinew of war, :stoney, is its

of intelligence re::pec till g the insurrection, and the
affairs connected with it ; of which the following arc
the details. The li!st its order, it will he observed, is
. , another version of the account we gave on Monday

from a Oefllllll paper.
Once;4.t, M.llll it -23.-I.aptain Nicolo Cocoli arrived
here yesterday, after a voyage of 70 hours from Con-
stantinople (hearing the Russian flag), and gives the
following account of the state of things there:—
" The events in Moldavia and Wallachia were as well
known to the people and the Turkish Government as
the arming of the Greek:. The confusion was very
great. The booties of the Ambassadors, especially of
the Russian, were tilled with fugitives. Prince Calli-
maelii bad already been a victim. Orders were given
fur the Turkish fleet to be ready to sail by the ilst of
April, but this seemed impossible, as sailors were want-
ing. Embargo was laid on Turkish vessels bound to the
Black Sea, and orders had been given to visit even the
Russian vessels that came or sailed ; but the Russian
Ambassador had opposed this so successfully, that it bail
been possible for many distinguished Greek fatuities to
escape to the Black Sea. The Sultan had had a con-
ference of five hours with the Greek Patriarch. The
ill success of the Turkish arms in Albania was likewise
known to the people, though the Government tried to
concealit. A strong American squadron is stated to
have appeared in the Archipelago, and to bare taken
five Turkish ships of near, two of whit+ were frigates.
The cause of these hostilities was stated to be, that the
American Ambassador ba►l not been received.
In the Mores all are under arms, and the warlike in-
habitants of the Peninsula were formidable both by
sea and land. Neither Captain Coeoli, nor the captain
of two other vessels that arrived after him, ventured to
bring any letters, lest they might fall in their way into
the hands of the Turks, and the writers at Constanti-
nople be exposed to the greatest dange►. The three
vessels above-mentioned were chiefly filled with fugi-

tires."
Msacn 24.—T0-day, after the arrival of the packet
boat. the following improbable news was circulated :
.. On the morning of the 20th of March, a large num-
ber of Week vessels, under the Russian hg. from all

threatened to depart immediately if the Hag of his
Lion was not respected. The Suiran, it was said, teat
for the Greek patriarch, probably to employ him "

packet-boat sailed on the 20th in the evening. Hat „
