The troubles between the government and cler-
gy Of Honduras have been rapidly taking dan
gerous form in that country. The Vicar General
of the Metropolitan dioccss accommodated the
President and members Of his government for
introducing heresy through the treaty Of cession

conscience to all nom Catholics. The President
has retaliated by stripping the Vicar of his func
tions and banishing him the country, for en-
dcavoring to excite rebellion. TIE incendary
documents Of his Reverence are to be forwarded
to the Court Of Rome, in order that the matter
may be looked into at the proper ecclesiastical
headquarters. And so the quarrel stands ut pre-
