The Cassel Gazette says :—" The attache of the
Ambassador of France, at this Court, Cowl,
Eugene de Belcour, has informed his government
in a special note of the 28th of November, of the
conditions on which Hessian subjects can emigin"
to Algeria, without running any danger of being
sent back to France. If they want to purchoe,
land in the colony, each emigrant must prove that
he possesses 2,000 f. ; but if an emigrant menial
wants to work for others, he must have 400 L,
with a family, and 200 f., if a single man."
The Carlsruhe Gazette of the 23d says :—" The
Government has been informed that the
bishop of Frieburg has ordered the cures of his dlo'

secutive Sundays, the differences which have arisen
between the Episcopacy and the temporal poet.
The Government, has no intention to oppose tilt
explanations being given in a calm and tenirolt;

churches, and excite their hearers against the Go-
vernment,,,
and authorities, either by distorting t.",:
truth or by false statements, the punishment which
they merit will undoubtedly NI on them."
