ENT OF PROTESTANTS TO
DEFEND THE POPE.

Papal °facers are recruiting. in protestant North
Gummy for the new army which is to defend the Roman
pontiff. The Weiser Gazette describes the departure of
100 recruits from Hamburg on the 16th, most of them
Pros-isms and Holsteiners. Lieutenant Sturmfels, a Bans•
nu, was the agent charged with the enlistment, and the
Men are sent off to Strasburg as they are raised. The Ham-
burg authorities remain neutral in the affair, neither object-
ing nor a -suiting. In the course of lut week 400 per-
sons enlisted, mostly compelled by want to accept the offers
made to them. A letter from Cologne of the 17th states
that on the previous day MI of the Papal recruits were sa-
luted by order of the Prussian government, and called
upon to produce their papers of legitimation. About 40
proved to be Prussian subjects, and his Holiness will pro-
bably have to dispense with their attendance in his domi-
nions.
