have the right Of managing their affairs accord
ing to their local habits, manners, and interests
committee has been appointed for receiving the ad-
hesion Of Roman Catholic priests, and for placing

Elberfeld, Heidelberg, Ulm, and Saarbruck form

thata synod should be held annually, but more par

The Frankfort Journal says that "Pastor Ronge
and his brother, accompanied by a curate Of Dant-
zc, have just passed through our town, where they
were received with reclamation. The German
Catholics determined to escort them to Frankfort,
some on foot and some in carriages, according to
their means. The crowd was 80 great, that it was
with much difficulty the corisge proceeded. BY way
of giving the effect of public rejoicing, discharges
Of musketry were let off, M Ronge's carriage was
gracefully decorated with garlands Of flowers. From
Ofenbach to Frankfort the population seemed to
take part in a national fse. 1t is believed that, on
his return, M. Ronge will stay some time among
the German Catholic community on the Rhine, and
that at Ofenbach he will celebrate divine service
with great solemnty."
The Eberfed Gazette contains the following;
"The Catholic priest, Breidenbach, has quilted
the Romish church: he has Just been appointed GU
rate of the German Catholic community Of the town
Of lserlohn. His Inauguration has been celebrated
by discharge of thirty cannon. More than 10000
persons assisted at the ceremony. Triumpha arches
were erected in several places. Upon the 7th new
German Catholic church was formed in the little
town of Hagen.D
M. Ronge passed through Dresden on the l4th.
A Bohemian Roman Catholic priest Of that city has
announced his intention of going over to the German
Catholic church.
The Swabian Mercury gives the following notice
of the opening at Stuttgart of the German Catholic
council: "The German Catholic council COM
menced its proceedings this day. (the 15th.) Divine
service was celebrated by the curae Kerbler in the
reformed church. 1t was found necessary to issue
tickets of admission into the church, which, notwh
standing entirely filed. The sittngs Of the coun-
Gil have to the present been held with closed doors.
A third meeting will be held tomorrow in the Sill
berbourg, which the Museum Society has placed at
the disposal of the council. A committee was formed
at the preparatory sittingbf the l4th. Everything
is passing with calmness and profound attention.
The number of deputies already arrived is consider
able. Among the towns and districts which have
sent deputies appear the following: Frankfort-on-
thc-Maine, Darmstadt, Weisbaden, Mayence,
Hamm, Heidelberg, Crsfeld, Manhebein, Duis-
lohn, Mannheim, &C. German residents of Rotter-
dam and of London have sent delegates. M. Ronge
arrived the same morning.
The Suabian Mercury has the following on the
subject of the prohibition TO allow the church of ST.
Leonards To be placed at the disposal of NJ. Ronge
"Ihe manner in which our government regards
the new Catholic dissident community is evident
from the following official document:
1.-The Evangelical Consstory, directing the city
of Stuttgart. BY an ordinance of the 10th of this
month relative to the cesson TO the dissdent Catho
lies of the church Of st. Leonard at Stuttgart for
the performance Of their worship, the ministers of
the interior, public worship, and public instruction,
have charged the Evangelical Consistory to make
known as follows to the dissident Catholics Ac-
cording to the generally known principles of ecclesi-
astical law, and which perfectly in accordance
with the constitution the free and public exercise of
the religion of agrowing ecclesiastical community
suPposes that it is recognised by the State. Far
from this recognition having already taken place
with regard to the dissident Catholics of Wirtem-
berg, petition, in which they request appreciation
for their new church, is at this moment under the
consideration of the authorities. During this state
OF things, 1t has been permitted to the dssdents to
celebrate among themselves their religious exercises
and they have not been prevented to discuss their
affairs even in public assemblies. Although, in this
point Of view, the Evangelical church has ground
for complaint against the Catholic dissidents vet
with due regard to public law, it cannot lend its
support to measures which opposed to 1t. Under
all these considerations has decided that the church
of St. Leonard cannot be conceded to the Catholic
dissidens for the celebration of solemn service.
The above decision of the ministry is thus
made known to the proper authorities, in order that
it may be carried into effect
(Signed,) '"GAERsTNEa,
"The second document runs thus:
" The Ministers of the Interior, Worship, and
Public instruction. to the authorities of the city of
Stuttgart:
"'The evangelical consstory will make known
to the authorities of the city Of Stuttgard that the
cession of the church of St. Leonard to the German
Catholics, for the celebration of solemn religious
service, cannot for the present be permitted. This
decision will be communicated to the chiefs of d.
visions, with the remark, that their request to be
ecclesiastical community being still
under consideration, they cannot be authorized to
hold public meeting for the exercise of their wor-
ship, and must confne themselves, as hitherto, to
perform their devotional exercises in the reformed
church, or in private house. If II is proposed to
hold large assembly in place not used for reli-
gious meetings, no impediments will take place, un-
less in the event of any disturbance being appre-
hended, which too often happens when large meet
ings are held In the open air. Any acts of insubor-
dinaton will operate against their petition having
favorable decision given to it, "
