Baltic.
The Memorial Diplo,natiqte OF Paris OF June Co.

OF Poland have been visited has now been extended
to the Baltic provinces Of Russia All public func.
tonsries belonging to the Reformed Church are
compelled to attend al the religious solemnties cele
brated IN the Russian churches In honor OF tho En-
peror or other members OF the imperial family.
Tney have IN vain represented that they perform
those religious duties In their own places OF worship
and they have been informed that the Greek faith
being that OF the State they must at
tend all solemn ceremonies the object OF
which Is to implore the Divine blessing
in favor Of the reigning dynasty. ON
the occasion OF the last celebration OF the Emperor's
birthday the OF Riga, In order to ascertain
whether all the Protestant functonaries had really
been present at the 7e Detrm gave notice that I'M
medately after the religious ceremony, he would, on
behalf Of the Emperor receive the Congratulations Oh
the civil and military authorities. The proseiytism
their co-relig0nists has greatly excited the French
Professionals, and a member OF the Evangelical Con-
eisory of Paris, NJ de Pressens6 has ventured to ad
dress himself directly TO the Emperor in the hope OF
Securing the Protestants OF the Baltic provinces
the liberty OF conscience which they had been pro.
missed. .
The Gear received the petition at Ems, and he said
IN reply to NJ de Pressense, that II that gentleman
chose to visit him during his stay In Germany Ms
Majesty would be willing to see him. Acting upon
this invitation, NJ. de PresSense has proceeded TO
Juugerheim, near DarInstadt, where the Emperor
has lately been staying.
