The following order, which has been issued from the Horse Guards, is deserving of much attention, particularly from Field Marshal the Duke of Cumberland, General the Duke of Gordon and the various other noblemen and gentlemen who are members of Orange Lodges while they have the honour of holding his Majesty's commission. If they do not either resign their commissions or vacate their seats in the Lodges, all the officers of the Army will be fully employed in hold- ing Courts-martial. The order, it will be observed, is very strict, and, we must add, very proper.— C0117 ier.
