PROGRESS OF THE GERMAN
REFORMATION..

:s made b;

Courts of Berlin, Wirtom-
-ianover have agreed to set on foot
which the religious movements of the
more especially those of the " Friends of
..fight," shall be di.scussed. The basis to be adopted
in- these conferences will be a strict separa-
tion of the political from the religious element
in the movement ; to restrain the former with
s very tight rein, while to the latter will be conceded a
freer and larger arena. The question of Church Go-
vernment in particular to be left open, but doctrinal
points not to be allowed too wide an extent. In oppo-
sition to the foregoing, the TVeßer Zeitung quotes, on
the other hand, a communication from Frankfort, in
which it is roundly asserted that the religious movement
in Germany has been already subject of discussion in
the Diet, whose sittings ceased on the 11th September,
to be resumed on the Bth of January, 1846. The Jesuit
question, it is understood, did not come under considera-
tion, as the political and not the dogmatical aspect of
the movement attracted attention, and the deliberations
of the Diet were limited to the concoctions of mea-
sures to secure the existing order of political affairs
against being affected by the religious ferment. " Who,"
asks the Frankfort correspondent, " who that ha's ob-
served the simultaneous and almost identical measures
adopted in regard of the German Catholics by various
German states, can doubt that such unusual union of ac-
tion is the result of previous union of counsel ?"
HANAU, SEPT. 13.—Our Government has proved its
determination to carry out to the letter its announced
course regarding the German Catholics, by prohibiting
Ronge to stop. even one night in this city, or to preside
over any meeting for Divine worship.
DRESDEN, SEPT. 16.—The refusal of the Wirtemberg
Government to grant the use of one of the churches in
Stuttgardt to the German-Catholics is but a counterpart
of the decision of our Ministry, by whom a similar re
fusel has just been given. The disappointment :_
greater here, as the ecclesiastical and town authorities
were unanimous in according them the accommodation.
STUTTGARDT, SEPT. 17.—The German Catholic
Church Assembly completed its sittings this day. The
solemnities were terminated by Divine service, under
the guidance of Ronge and Dowrat. The last business
meeting took place yesterday, in which, however, no
questions were discussed ; but the time was chiefly
occupied with a statement of the nature and importance
of German Catholicism, and a reply to the often-put
question, " What do the German Catholics aim at?"
SEPT. 19.—Yesterday Ronge and his friends received
many testimonials of affection from his adherents in
Stuttgardt. Poems, garlands, and still more valuable
proofs of attachment were handed to him in various com-
panies to which he had been invited, and this morning,
at ten o'clock, he left for Ulm. A great concourse of
people had assembled in the Dorothea-square, who
greeted Ronge and his companions as they issued from
their dwelling (which was nearly covered with garlands)
with a joyful viva ! A garlanded carriage received the
so highly- prized reformers, and drove off, escorted by
some members of the German Catholic committee on
horseback, and followed by several other carriages.
ULSI.—At a dinner party given by the inhabitants of
this town to M. Ronge, and at si hich more than
seventy of its distinguished citizens, and• several dele-
gates from the neighbouring places, were present, Dr.
Gramm, the public physician of the district, made a
speech, from which we extract the following :
" Dear Brethren, much esteemed Friends,—lt is
known to you all that we German Catholics have
separated ourselves from the Pope, from our Roman
Catholic Bishop, and from his chapter. Now, it
would be supposed that we are like sheep without a
shepherd, and unable to defend ourselves against our
numerous enemies ; but this is not our case. For, in
union with our Protestant brethren, we have our bishop
in the person of our just and courageous King, who will
acknowledge us as his faithful subjects, since we com-
bat all foreign influence, which is injurious to the free
development of spiritual liberty, whether such an in-
fluence proceeds from this side or from the other side of
the mountains."

T: "

s the

The assembly-room was magnificently decorated, and
in one transparency, in large character, was read
"Johannes Runge, the Champion of Light and Truth."
STIITTGARDT, SEPT. 25.—M. Ronge returned here
last evening from Ulm. The report which has circulated
here that he had been assassinated, or at least fired at,
in the latter town, proves to have been groundless, M.
Ronge sets out this morning on a journey, but is believed
w be back in a fortnight, during which time it is ex-
pected that the renewed petition made by the inhabitants
:)f our town to the Ministry, in order to have a church
granted to the German Catholic community, will have
proved successful. Indeed, this is hoped to arrive as
soon as our King returns, which return is daily
looked for.
The cause of the German Catholic Church is gaining
much ground here, in spite of all the endeavours to the
contrary made by the Romanists of our place ; and all
their insinuations cannot hinder both Catholics and Fro-
testants from joining the new Church, which counts now
amongst its members several persons of the nobility.
It is reported that a community of German Catholics
is about to be formed at Heilbronn, and M. Ronge's pro-
ceeding there relates to this latter formation, which he
will endeavour both to call into life and to organise.
From thence M. Ronge will go to Heidelberg and to
elanheim. Of his further movements nothing has as
yet transpired, but it is supposed that he and his com•
panions will meet Professor Konuer, from Ulm, at
Elberfeld,
