The Duke of Cumberland has addressed a letter, of which
we give a copy, to the Orange Lodges of England and Scotland, recommending them to follow his example and dissolve the Orange Institution.
"TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LOYAL ORANGE INSTITUTION OF GREAT BRITAIN.
" St..lames's Palace, 29th February 1336.
" Deat Brethren—Having already addressed the Orangemen of Ireland, in conjunc- tion with official and distinguished members of that Institution, recommending to them, in consistency with his Majesty's expressed wishes, that the Institution shoal be dissolved, I now feel it my ditty ta recommend the same course to the Orangemen of Great Britain. I am confident that their feelings of loyal ;Lod dutiful attachment to their Sovereign will induce them to pursue that course which my sense of rey duty prompts me to recommend, and iu my own person thus painfully to set the example. (Signed) " ERNEST."
A copy of the Address to the Irish Orangemen (which we have noticed in our department of Irish news) is then subjoined by the ci- (levant Grand Master.
