SWITZERLAND, JAN. 23.—The Council of State of the
Carton of Vaud, has adopted more rigorous measures
against the sect called maniere, which had been spreading
more and more for some years past, because they have
caused disorders in several parts of the Canton, becanse
they have declared their intention of separating, by new
institutions, from the national Church ; because their
principles undermine the union of families, religious and
civil order ; lastly, because, by the spirit of iproaelytism,
this sect has placed itself in a state of open hostility with
the State ; all meetings of the adherents of this sect are
henceforth prohibited. the Magistrates shall take care to
prevent them; the sectarians, and those who gave them a
place to meet in, or hold an office among them, shall be
duly punished."
