We lately mentioned the pastoral letter of the
Th.liop of Ghent, in which he lays it, outhe con-
sciellees of his spiritual flack, not to assent to a
liberal principle of politics, which aims at uni-
versal toleration : a sintilat spirit is busy itother
parts of Europe, which dotA not scent to us to
ou::to much good. At Coire, in the Grisoas, Dr.
rilirer, the Professor of Law in the school of the
Canton, was ohligeti to stop in the middle of a
course, and lcave'his residence it the Bishop's
Court, be, arse the pious priest thought it im-
pri.per that Dr. Mirer, being a _Catholic. priest,
thould instruct .an audience composed of pupils of
different persuasions. In the same spirit, the 1317
sl:op, of Lausanne, on being applied to by the Ca-
tholic priest of Fribingh, tvould tot allow the
body of a child of six years of age, the son of a
Protent tnt'rehant, to he hurled unless it were
d,.:ne in the night. '[he Merchant preferred, semi-

A fortnight ago there was a crowd of some
thousands collected round a Prussian centinel,
they wished him from his post; by way of seeing
how tar they could go. immediately a divkion
of cavalry was ordered to the spot, and some
cannon planted opposite to the crowd, who wire,
oideied to leave 'the place in one iniinite. The
order ,was scarcely given, "wilco the houses and
srreeis were too confined to receive the fugitives.

that have since taken place, in which the troops
of the different nations frequently filed off before
the Generals in uttinternapte,l columns for six
ho,:rs together, have made a profotind impression,
arid even awed in some measure the thousands of
aicers who go about here:Out of unifotom.
