Committees have been formed at Pesth
and Vienna, at the instigation, it is said,
of DIR. Won Dollinger, for the purpose of
the religious movement with
which the name of that scholar is con-
nectcd in Austria and Hungary The
North German Correspondent also hears
that Central Committee of Action has
been formed at Munich, under the special
auspices of Lord Acton, who is busily en-
gagged in spreading the opinions of DR..
Won Dollinger at Turin, Florence and
London. Diocesan meetings are to be
held in Silesia and Upper Austria, and in
the autumn there is to be great General
Assembly at Heidelberg A Ressian pa
per, the Starkenburger Bote, writes as fol-
lows respecting the temporal power
THE Governments of Europe must now
come to decision. Two ways are open
to them. If they resolve 10 restore the
temporal sovereignty of the Pope, they
will find the Catholics the most obedient
of their subjects, who will be easily salts
fed in all purely political questions. If
on the other hand, they recognize the rob-
berry of the Church, let them expect a
war to the knife against the newly -estab-
lished order of things, fierce and deci-
sive war, without treaty or compromise.
Let the Governments know our patience
was great, but it has now come to an end.
We Catholics have right to demand the
liberty Of our Church, and it is the duty
of the governments to satisfy our de-
mands we pay them the blood tax, but
we are tired of being cheated by vain
promises. The only assurance we demand
is the withdrawal of Victor Emanuel and
the complete restoration of the Papal
States. We do not ask for this guarantee
humbly, as an act of grace; no, we de
,nand it imperatively, as our right Heal
it, yemighty of the earth; hear it, "
governments. whatever your names may
be; hear it, Bismark, Gladstone, Beust
and Andrassy. The Catholics bid you
satisfy their just demands, and interfere
in favor of the holy chair; believe us; dt
not neglect our warning. If you do no
restore the Catholic Church to all he
rights, not one of the existing govern
ments will continue to exist"
