GENERAL ADVERTISER.

VIENN A, April 7-
FOR many years past it has appeared that our ap
guft monarch is endowed with the cleared ideas of
religious toleration and of the rights of the church:
It must have been observed in the rules which his Im +
perial majefly made in favour of his protestant (üb
jefts: He has given a frefh proof of his sentiments by
two proclamations or orders, stuck up at the gates of
this city, one dated the 24th, the other the 26th of
lass month, and are as follows:
We Joseph 11. by the grace of God, emperor of the
Romans, &c. ordain and will, for the prefect and for
ever, by virtue of the supreme power vested in us, that
the monafleries, theabbies,or commonalities, or houses,
of religious orders reading in our dominions, shall
conform themselves to the lawsand statutes following,
relative to any connection they may have with any su
periors of commonalities or religious houses out of our
dominions.
ift, That all religious houses eflablifhed in my he
reditary dominions in Germany, without any excepti
on, do absolutely renounce for ever, every connexion
or union whatsoever, with the provinces, monasteries,
or houses, and fuperiors,of religious orders, on any
pretext whatever (correspondences as to prayer or fuf
frages excepted) that are not under my jurisdiction.
2d. We order that in two months at fartheft from
the publishing hereof, each order or religious house do
communicate to us their opinion on the manner that
the houses of religious flrangers in our dominions may
unite with the fame order, or form separate congrega
tions.„
3d. We ekpreffiy ordain, that from the day of this
publication, that all houses of religious orders do cease
hereafter to have with their fathers general (if they ac
knowledge such, and who has not a fixed residence in
our dominions) any connexions as to the spiritual and
discipline, and much less as to the temporal, confe
quently in any point, and under any pretext whatfoe
ver ; our will is on the contrary, that all religious or
ders be conduced hereafter by their future provincials,
and these last to be fubjeCl to the archbishops, bishops
and governors of our provinces; but the archbishops
and bishops principally t® have the infpe&tion and ad
ministration.
4th, It follows of course that no province, confra
ternity or congregation, or any other union (excepting
as to prayer or fuffrages, as is mentioned in the
firft article) can associate hereafter with any house
that is not in our jurifdi&ion ; and all correspondence,
under what name soever, is forbid with the superiors
6f religious houses in foreign countries, we forbid them
in consequence to attend hereon any general chapter
or assembly out of our dominions, and much less to re
ceive under any pretence whatsoever, any foreign fu
periors, letters of obedience, visitors, correctors, &c.
sth. We forbid that any Granger be appointed supe
rior to any religions order eflablifhed in our heredita
ry dominions ; and our will is that no person shall
hereafter be nsfoed to that place but those that are
born liitrein ; for which purpose there shall hereafter
be held provincial chapters, where nothing shall be
treated of but elections of provincials, kcal superiors,
dehnitiors; and as often as these chapters are to assem
ble, notice shall in time be given to the civil govern
ment of the plate in which it is to be held: in these
assemblies care is to be taken to separate that which
concerns the temporal and the exterior discipline, and
of this last a separate regifler is to be kept; and until
the election of a provincial superior be made in lieu of
the visitors declared by the commissaries general, t
is out will that the fathers of the provincial or such
others of our fubjefts who by their institution it may
suit, to govern alternately their refpeftive houses till
fucii eteaion take' place.
6th. Consequently, there will never hereafter be any
necessity for persons of the order to undertake pilgri
mages towards Rome, or any other hates, and much
less to fend fuccours ; the one and the other are equal
ly forbid.'
7th. We will that all monaflari^s ofmai d s and women
be c©n # prifed in th^fe our injunctions, and that none
of ti;em, under pain of deposition, shall depend on
any superior, or have any connection, as well for the
interior discipline as the temporal, except it be one of
ou-fubjefts.
Bth. We will efpeciafty that no religious order do
presume a right to bring from foreign countries bre
viaries, missals, choir books, or other works relative
to any coiMitutions of the orders, especially when
such meafares shall be taken as Ihall exclude their im
putation : It is likewise ordained, that without our
permiffien, no money, even in final! quantities, shall
be sent out of our dominions on that account.
Such is our will and good pleasure. Given in our
residence at Vienna, the 24th March, ,4781, the 17th
year of our election in quality es emperor of the Ro-
mans, and the firft of enr accession to our hereditary
revenue.
The second ordinance is as follows.
We Joseph, &c. &c. do hereby make known to all
superiors, ecclesiastic and secular, of what condition
and dignity they may be, enjoying our protection,
that as all the bulls, briefs, and other decrees, issued
from the pontifical fee, may have an influence on the
public, we judge it necessary that before their publi
cation their contents in atl cases without exception be
firft presented to us, in order to obtain our supreme
consent or the regium exequatur.
For these reasons, we order all the archbishops, bi
shops, and ordinaries, in all our hereditary dominions,
as also all other ecclesiastical or religious superiors,
and each and every one of them, of what condition or
dignity they may be, That iff all pontifical ordinan
ces, either in form of a bull, brief, decree, conftitu*
tion, or appearing under any other form whatsoever, as
soon as they are addressed 10 the public, to the common
alties, as well ecclesiastics as fecuiars,or?o particular per l
sons, tending to the collations of benefices, of'penfions,
honours, powers of right to particulars, or to these-•
cularization of a profeffion of any order whatsoever,
relative to either dogmatical or ecclesiastical matter.,
or tire discipline, they shall Iways before their pub
lication be firft only presented to the civil regency in
each province, with an authentic copy, attested by a
public notary of the province, accompanied with a re
quisition in order to obtain our Regium Exequatur
to the object in question. The regency shall without
delay, take advice of the attorney of our chamber, or
of the fifeal, to have their opinion in a fixed but short
time, if in the said pontifical letters any thing is con
tained contrary to the rights of the public, or the
conflitution of the province. The advice or opinion,
with the exhibitum must be presented to the Antique
chancery of Bohemia and Austria, to wait the decisi
on thereon, and these last shall be charged to comma
n'icate it to the ordinary or to the superiors of orders,
fending them the originals, with our supreme refolu~
tion in Writing, such as we shall think proper.
2d.; The fame thing is to be understood in regard
to ordinances and concessions coming from ordinaries,
foreigners whose right and dioceses may extend to this
country in all cases and matters as above mentioned,
our supreme consent, or placitur regium, must beob
tamed.
3d. The regencies in the provinces, and the attor
nies of our chamber and fifcals, are hereby enjoined
firiaiy to watch that this law be executed, and ill
case of transgression, immediately to inform our chan
cery; as from this day every concession, personal dig
nity or aft, not conformable to the present ordinance,
will be deemed null, void, and punishable.
