kemOnsfFance Of Roman Catholic
Bishops Against Withdrawal OF state
Grants-RePIy OF the Emperor.
BERLIN, April 1.-THE Roman Catholic
Bishops soon after their cOhfel ence a. Full
da addressed a petition to the Emperor
William, in person, demonstrating against
the withdrawal Of State grants, to the
maintenance Of which they declared the
honor of Prussia was pledged. They also
| protested against being required to obey,
| unconditiOnally, the State laws.
| The Ministers, authorized by the En-
PerOr, have replied, expressing regret that
the Bishops shOUld object N obey the laws
which are always Obeyed in other countries,
and addiEg thar the Bishops would have
preserved the Fatherland from peace-dis-
| turbing confusion if they had remained
faithful to their own convictions and 10 the
warnings which they proclaimed before the
Vatican Council.
The War Alarm.
The North German Gazette, a semi-of-
hcial Journal says "the article Of the Berlin
Post contains much truth IN one respect,
but combined with such anxious views
that we must contradict. Our inlernatiOn-
al relations are by no means as unfavOrable
as represented. While the reorganization
Of the French army is disquieting, it does
not aim at a solid establishment Of the
French forces, but is undertaken for Oyious
purposes. The Post Overrates the influence
Of the Papal party and Jesuits in Ifaly and
Austria. Their power is happily insuffici-
ent to prejudice the good understanding
between the SOvereigns Of the nations con-
cerned. The Gazette thinks the same may
be said in regard 10 France.
More Ecclesiastical Legislation.
4 bill has been introduced in the lower |
house of the Prussian Dict, TO abrOgate the |
clauses OF the Constitution which grant in |
dependent administration Of ecclesiastical |
affairs and Unimpeded intercourse Of re-
ligiOus associations with their superiOrs. !
The bill restricts the freedom Of clerical /
appointments, and makes their confirma-
tiOn indispensable to their legality.
The Pope TO the Emperor Of Austria.
PARIS, April 12.-TLe Union says the
Pope has made representations through the
Patriarch Of Venice to the Emperor Of Aus
tria that his position in the Church has
become more intOlera0le, and if the unrea-
sOnable demands Of Prussia are not resisted
by the Catholic powers, the latter will lose
all their influence and become subject to
the German Government, which is endeav-
Ori No to brig German nationality under !
9ne sceptre. The Emperor replies that he
deplOres the struggle between church and
State and advises prudence.
