A letter from Vienna of the 21st in the Cologne
Gazette mays :—" Our ultramontane circles are
scandalised at the resolutions of the Commission
of the Chamber of Deputies upon religious ques-
tions. A circular from the bishops invites the
clergy to combat from the pulpit the resolutions
referred to ; and the Archbishop of Vienna has, it
is said, addressed a petition to the Pope praying
him to intervene immediately with the Emperor in
favour of the preservation of the Concordat. The
public, however, are not much frightened by this
ultramontane agitation ; they are convinced that
the force of circumstances will secure what they
want."
