PRUSSIA.

' "The information which reaches us free various
parts of Prussia," says the independence Beige,
" indicatts'that the elections about to • take place
in that 'country will have the effect of forming
second chamber even same hostile to the ministry
than that which has just been dissolved. The
organs of the government sod of the feudal party
are themselves so convinced of this that they
already ask for a coup d' dot, a suspension of the
constitution; a royal dictatorship, &c. What the I
suprimie authority will decide upon is still the sub-
jest of mush controversy. it is only the
forreiihewever, of its resolutions &bout which any
doubth pre felt. Herr von Biemark is more in
favour than ever, and no one believes that the King
will mimient to dispense with his advice. Illsder
these circumstances only two alternatives are pee-
sible : either the constitution will be suspended by
an act, regular in its irregularity, as the feudal
journals request, and the chambers will be sup-
pressed; or the fundamental law will continue
inoperative, that is to say, the chambers may meet
and debate, but the government will pay nu atten-
tion to its votes whenever they are opposed to its
policy. 4 From this position there is no possible
issue.

Anna= M Cars—We read in the Paris
Prate of yesterday "A young Jewess, Gratiosa Ceriglia,
was baptised in Boom on the 20th September, against the
wishes of her parents, who protested to the last, and against
ber ovra wishes; for it cannot be said that a young girl of
Moe years of age has any will in such a matter. Upon •
final aid very touching supplication presented by her mother
to Cardinal Cogan°, Prefect of the Academy of the Cate.
chums's, where the young girl was confined, the weed
leetwa wu immediately placed; sad a few days after the
.fswrival of Bane, braviag the opinion of all respeetell•
people, sod insultiog the grief of the parent., had the
audacity to proclaim to the world the cooversioo and the
baptism of Graziosa Caviglia, aged nine years. It should be
noted that although • poutidesi bull forbids the becalm of
an Israelite who of his own free will wishes to be converted
to catholicism until be has passed through two years of
iostruction and eternisation, this child has been baptised
only three 'swathe after 6414 abducted from her parent..
It is thus that Use court of Rome follows the examples of
reform sad of toleration afforded to it by the civilised
world."
