The Eastern Germany Reformed Synod
has been discussing the question of lay bap-
tism. A mother had baptized her child in
infancy when sick, there being no minister
at hand. When the child grew up and was
to be confirmed, the mother would not allow
rebaptism, claiming hers to be valid. A
committee, consisting of DR.. Neyin, DR..
Gerhart, and DR.. Calender, admitted its
validity, as it had been performed in the
name of the Trinity. The Synod was
hardly ready to admit it, and left the matter

points along the line, there is little doubt that
they have received the worst of the contest
thus far. If they should be able to give
the invaders signal repulse,
they would be at liberty TO complete their at
tempted movement and strengthen their new
position before general engagement could be
brought about. But in case this continual fire
in the rear is kept up with almost unvarying
success by the Prussians, the danger is great
that the westward movement of the French will
assume the character of a rout, and
the generalization resulting be so
great as to prevent them from making stand
east of the defenses of Paris. The two armies
are at present operating in a section of country
completely encircled by railroads, but not inter-
sected by them and oil the telegraphs having
been cut, communication with either force is
extremely difficult and the news correspondingly
meagre and unsatisfactory.

Fleury had received special directions from the
Emperor Napoleon to remain at st. Petersburg,
and that this incident proves the desire of the
Russian and French Cabinets to continue on the
same amicable terms as before. The same
intelligence had been published in pre-
cisely the same form by the EXCHANGE
Gazette four or five days previously, and
there is little doubt that this tardy reproduction
of the news in the semi-official paper was not
accidental. As to the declaration of neutrality,
which was also proclaimed on that day, it is
rather a step in favor of France than otherwise,
for it had been hitherto assumed as a matter of
course that Russia would fight by the side of
Prussia. Since then the Journal de 81. Peters,
bourg, like the other papers, has entirely come
over TO the French side. Another semi-offieal
paper, the GOloss, after severely condemning
Prussia for its arrogance, says that Russia de-
sires her humiliation but not her ruin, and that
Prussia ought to be greatly obliged to Russia
for her neutrality, as, If the latter power used
it, she might annihilate Prussia without herself
drawing the sword. Ali she would have to do
is to declare herself on the side OF France: this
would compel King William to send half his
army to the eastern frontier, and place him at
the mercy of his enemies in the West.
