Switzerland.

Religious disputes are running very high at the
present moment In Switzerland. The same spirit OF
proselytiam which has induced the Court Of Rome to
the right Of establishing Catholic hierlrc
in England is busly at work in all the countries Of
Europe containing mixed Protestant and Catholic
populstion but In place has 1t shown itself
boldly than In Switzerland where IL IL encouraged by
the High Church party IN France with nm ardor when
try An intapce has just occurred In the Canton OF
the Grisops in which prelate has acted In manner
which would lead us to believe that he narrowly
watches the proceedings Of his fellow aborers In Ire
land. The government Of the GrsoDs have establish
cd college at Coire for the education both Of
Protestant and Cath olcs; the Bishop Core set his
face against the mixed system Of education, and adj
dressed circular to his clergy In which he encuncsd
the colleges hereto al ana Instructed the clergy 10
prevent their nocks from attending them. The 60
yerDment, justly indignant Mt the conduct OF the
bshop called together the Grand Council Of the can

for the future brought forward motion 90 the eject

iron the government The question was brought be-
fore the Grand Council on the 3Oh Of October vio'
lent diso ussion ensued The Cat holic members with
the exception OF two. protested against the messure
and left the meeting before IL came TO n vote. The
question then put the vote and the proposition
OF the government was voted unanimously.
The Catholic papers are eresedingy Indignant At
this vote which they call fresh nstsnee Of Protes-
parsed BY the Protestsnts OF the canton Of Grisons

II would be well for the world n the Church Of Rome
would initiate. The Protestsnts show eve ywhere a
deposition TO allow the Catholics TO part sks Of the
benefits Of their institutions while the Ca tholics will
have everything exsluively thsr own; nd yet u u
