CATUOLICS IN GERMANY.

.

The following-account of Catholic Proselytes
in Germany, is taken from the Etoile :
"MAYENCE, SEPT. 18.-111. H. DE STAEDEL, one of the
principal bankers of Mayence, who has resided here for 20 years,
and who was generally regarded as the pillar of the Protestant
religion, but who did not like the Lutheran Pastor of Mayence,
Al. Nounweiter, take every occasion of harassing the profes-
sira of the Catholic faith, has just abjured Protestanism. 111.
Staedel was, like most Protestants, possessed of many unrea-
sonable prejudices against the Roman Catholic religion ; but
an old book of prayers, which chance, or rather Providence,
threw in his way, first opened his eyes; he discovered in our
prayers a pure
morality, a sound doctrine, and an affecting
'llestness. M. Staedcl then conceived the design of study-
'ng different works which had been written in defence of the
Catholic faith, such as those of the learned Prechtl, the
Theological System of Leilmisz., Milner's Letters, the
J'Arnal called the Catholic, &c. Two years passed in this
way, during which Staedel, with fervent prayer, en-
Streated God to open to him the way of truth. At
~lh, a few days before the feast of the Assumption, N.
Je' Made his profession of faith in the church of St.
Qentin, at Mayence. A few days afterwards M. NVilliam de
°lgen, whose brother had previously embraced the Catholic
teligion, made his profession of faith in the church of the Se-
minary, with the sanction of their father, who has another
son a Deputy of the Diet of Darmstadt. Other striking
conversons have occurred elsewhere s—At Frankfort, Mr.
Charles Fleischer, a well informed and literary man, last
Year abjured the Catholic religion, and has since his conver-
sion translated the refutation of -111 r. de Stourdza's book.
This refutation, which was published at Mayence, contributed
his of
of Mr. Fleischer's wife, who has also ab-
jured. Recently Professor of History in the Lyceumof Dusseldorf pronounced his abjuration. This conversion is re-Tarkablei from a singular circumstance. Dusseldorf is a Ca-
tholic town, and it was hoped that none but Catholics would be
however, a
named to the Professorship. The Professor in question was,
ppointed in opposition to the wish of the Catholics,
as if there had not been a Catholic sufficiently learned to men-
;:Y post. Well, it is this very 'enlightened Professor who At abandoned the Protestant religion ; his conversion has made
seven said, ome noise. The Protestants have complained aloud, and it is
c7torrulalan Min istrY
that the Professor will be removed ; but we consider
ton equitable and wise to allow the Con-
! ry to betray its partiality, by so arbitrary an act."
