The Morning Post Of Saturday, 22nd inst,

ton of an mtimation thar a part Of the ex-
trpme section of the English Church is en-
gagged in direct intrigue with Rome with a
view Of secession from the home establish

1T is claimed by the writer in the Post that
information has been gained that 100 ritual
istic clergymen of the establishment, with a
congregational constituency numbering $4,000
men and l50. 600 women, have signed a me-
morial 10 The Pope containing the following
propositions and petition -
That our own bishops committed eccle-
siastical suicide in selecting the complete
asceudancy of the State over the Church.
"That our consciences do not permit US to
remain subject to these false bishops.
"That we recognize the Pope as the head
of Gods Church on earth.
THAT we accept all that He teaches, in
GLIDING the Vatican DEGREES.
That many Of US cIergympn being married
cannot become Catholic Priests, and that
many of the fold would not follow immediate
ly.
Therefore will His Holiness consent TO the
forming of united Anglican Church, like
that of the Armenian and Maronite rite, in
communion with Rome, but with a national
