Il Corriere Italiaxo, an Austrian Governmental
organ, contains a long panegyric on the order of
Jesuits. It appears that a certain Marchese Eva-
sion left a considerable amount of property, in land,
for the express purpose of endowing Jesuit colleges
in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. The property
yields an annual revenue of 60,000 lire, but is not to
be appropriated to Jesuitical purposes in towns where
that order already possesses an establishment. From
the tone of this article it is clear that the Govern-
ment is prepared to aid and protect that insidious
order to the utmost of its power ; and the fact of
the Jesuits having in every instance returned to
claim the position from which they were ejected in
1848, at Vienna, Milan, Venice, &c., is a significant
proof of their confidence in the status quo. A large
number of Bibles, in the Bohemian and Hebrew lan-
guages, printed in Hungary, and got up in a cheap
form for circulation, have been stopped in Vienne, on
their way to Bohemia. This is a new illustration of
the "freedoin of religious worship" guaranteed by the
EMPEROR, even in his late decrees, the Bibles thus
published having hitherto been suffered to circulate.
The question now rests with the Ancnsisnor to de-
cide whether the Scriptures are to ba suppressed
altogether or not.
The Austrian Correspo. ndenz styles the editorial
replies to the Ministerial reproof addressed to the
English press, in the House of Commons, " rude
and sarcastic, but vapid and unmeaning."

SWITZERLAND.

The Geneva journals of the 15th publish a circular
issued by the Government of that canton, requiring
all French refugees whom recent events have brought
into Switzerland, and whose passports are not en
regle, to present themselves at the bureau of police,
and state whether they demand an asylum, or are
prepared to apply for travelling passports. Those
who have been cited before the French tribunals, or
condemned for contumacy, must, if they desire to re-
main in Switzerland, repair to the interior, to a dis-
tance of at least Eight leagues from the frontier;
those who desire to leave may receive passports,
under the sanction of the federal authority. Citizens
are reminded that they are forbidden, under penalty,
to entertain strangers, without making the declara-
tion to the proper bureau, which grants permis de
sejour. It is added that these admonitions are made
by the council of the canton, at the demand of the
federal commissioners. 400
