The Croniea Of New York contains paragraph
stating that Sei1or Martinez de la Rosa had issued
orders to all Spanish subjects in Rome to withdraw
from the city, as the expedition under Cordoba was
about to advance to attack.
The same paper says that the Austrian generals
are much exasperated against Pho Mono, looking
on him the originator of all their troubles. At
Bologna, though nominally toiling for the restora-
ton Of his authority, they had decapiiated every
statue and mutated every monument erected in
honor Of him.
The Condo de Montemon and his brothers are
about, at the head of ten thousand Carists array
themselves, Under the orders Of the Gar against the
ideas Of progress in Europe. The Cronica wishes
the party pleasant journey from Spain.

MASONRY.

There are, il is well known, two orders of Ma
sons--hose of the York and of the Scotch lodges
The Masonic fraternity in this country uses the
ritual of the first, while the lodges of Mexico and
most of the Spanish nations have adopted the
Scotch, The highly moral and liberal Christian ten
denotes of the Scotch lodges have drawn recently a
number of our Anglo-Saxon citizens into its tenn
ples such numbers indeed, that it may be said a
revival is going on, and that new era in the his
tory of the Order in the United States has begun.
The York Masonry emanales from the Jewish dis
pensaon, while the Scotch, in its higher degrees al
least has It's foundation in the doctrines and history
of Christianity. 1t is, therefore, not surprising that
it should find numerous and ready proselytes among
the American people, e
On Friday, the 22d of June last, several gentle
men, of the highest standing in New Orleans, were
admitted to the thrty-third or highest degree OF
Free Masonry, in the hall of Perfect Union Lodge,
in Rampant street. On the interesting occasion, the
Supreme Council, presided over by the Grand Com
mander, James Fououze, esq, went through the
imposing ceremonies of initiation in the English
language The newy-made members Of the coun-
Gil express the mselves highly gratifed, and are
quite enthusiastic in their praise of the distinguished
and enlightening degrees through which they were
passed.
This installation recalls anecdote of the earlier
history of the South American Confederation which
may not be undressing. 1t will be remembered
that the lodges of Scotch Masons in Mexico at one
time formed themselves into political club the
tendency of which was decidedly monarchic, and
went near overturning the Republican form Of gov
eminent. To counteract their influence Mr. Poin-
sett, then Minister of the United States, procured
charter from Dewitt Clinton, Grand Master Of the
Grand Lodge in the United States, and initiated
many distinguished men of Mexico, among whom
were Victoria, the Braves, Angel Trias and others
These formed counter-club. which extended its
influence over the whole territory of the Republic,
so that as Escoscese became the nickname of mon
archist, Yorkino was that of republican. The new
lodges will doubtless prosper, almosta the Ma
sons of the southern nations of Europe follow the
Scotch ritual. Ward, formerly representative OF
Great Britain in Mexico, gives an interesting ac-
count of the contest of the two orders.
