GERMANY.
The Bishops of the Roman Catholic provinces of
the Upper Rhine have agreed to a memorial to be
presented to the several Governments, containing 17
demands, which, if granted, would render the Church
,estally independent of the State, and deprive the
' atter to a considerable extent of its political power.
the demands are as follow: —l. Abolition of all the
concessions made since March, 1848, in matters
affecting the jurisdiction of the Church, such as the
civil contract of marriage, &c. 2. Free exercise of
the power of the bishops in their respective dioceses to
grant spiritual offices. 3. A limitation of the right
of patronage in benefices. 4. Permission to the
bishops to examine canonically and canonically to
punish their subordinates. 5. Abolition of the State
examinations for candidates for the priesthood. 6.
Abolition of the assent of the State to the appoint-
ment to vacant livings. 7. Abolition of the present
right of appeal to the Civil Government from the
sentences of the Ecclesiastical Court in criminal
cases; the latter shall be immediately put in execu-
tion, after the simple evidence given of guilt, as far
as deprivation from a benefice and confiscation of
the income. 8. Every appeal to the civil courts to
be considered a rejection of the legal and normal
authority of the Church, and to be followed by ex-
communication. 9. Abolition of the State titles
of the clergy. 10. The bishops to have the
confirmation of all appointments of teachers
of religion in the gymnasia and universities. 11.
Abolition of the assent of the State to the publication
of Papal bulls, letters, and episcopal pastoral addresses
to the clergy. 12. Right of bishops to give their
licence for holding popular missions and religious ex-
ercises on the part of the priesthood. 13. Permission to
form spiritual associations of men and women for
prayer, contemplation, and self-denying obedience. 14.
Restoration to the bishops of their power to punish
members of the Church who despise its regulations. 15.
Free intercourse of.the bishops with Rome. 16. The
temporal power to have no right to interfere in appoint- 1
ments to vacancies in Cathedral chapters. 17. Inde-
pendence of the clergy in the management of the
property of all Catholic Church and endowment re-
venues. The memorial is signed by the Archbishop
of Freiburg, the Bishop of Limburg, the Bishop of
Rettenburg, the Bishop of Fulda, and the Bishop of
Mayence.

THE NEW HOLY ALLIANCE.
Our readers will scarcely need a hint from us to dis.
cover that the Congress of Sovereigns now assembled at
Warsaw, whatever name it may bear, can be nothing
less in substance than a revival of the " Holy Alliance."
That famous confederacy was organized in Paris, by the
monarchs of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, about three
months after the battle of Waterloo, when the over-
throw of their great enemy laid continental Eu-
rope prostrate at their feet, and they be-
keyed themselves able to trample out every
spark of popular liberty. The French Government,
though not openly enrolled in the confederacy, was
united with it by the ties of interest and sympathy, and
the British Government of that day, without joining it,
openly eapprovcd of it. The " Alliance" professed to
have " no other object in view than to publish in the face
of the world their fixed resolution to take for their sole
guide the precepts of our holy religion, the precepts of
justice, Chri.stian charity, and peace." It was thus
" with devoti,,L's visage and pious action, they sugared
over" a forraidabie conspiracy against the rights of
nations. Their declaration was followed up by dismem-
bering Denmark and Saxony, and breaking faith with
Genoa, and extinguishing its existence. n 1820, Spain
rose egainst the tyranny of Ferdinand', and established a
popular Government; Portugal followed its steps forth-
with, and Naples end' Piedmont in a short time after.
wards. Our champions 'of justice, Christian charity,
and peace" row dropped the mask, and stepped forward
in their true character. They met at Lay bach, and de.
nounced all the new constitutions as rebellions. Armies
were sent into Naples and Piedmont to restore the old
kingly Government. In Spain, which was not so easily
invaded, money and intrigue were tried for more than
two years, When these were found ineff-ctual, the
Holy Allies assembled again et Verona (in 1823), and
concocted an invasion of Vie country, which France
carried out by sending the Duke of Angouleme into
Spain with an army. No movement in Europe
1:104, escaped their notice. Even the effort of the
poor
oppressed Greeks to shake off the Turkiah
yoke was branded as rebellion against their " legitimate
sovereign," by these advocates of " Christian charity."
11°Y had now plainly constituted themselves the High
"ic of Europe for the prevention of political improve-
Tent and the maintenance of despotism; and even the
BritishFren Government ceased to defend their acts. The
id theeh ytvolution of 1830 knocked one of their partners
list, and many thought that the confederacy was
extinct. But the snake was only ecotched, not killed.
The revolutionaoft last years have awakened the old
Bars, and suggested
a recurrence to old measures.
