HAyASA, Nov 25.-After an order
had been issued yesterday for the re-
lease of General Ruis Rivera and
Colonel Bacallo, Marshal Blanco re-
ceiyed them and proposed they should
help TO restore peace by assisting in
the establishment OF autonomy. They
declined to accept his proposition.
He then requested them TO make
formal compromise and agree not 10
take up arms against Spain. This
they refused, declaring on the con.
trary, that when actually free they
would return 20 the insurgent camp.
After this spirited reply they were
promptly returned TO Cabanas fort

a difference as 10 the time OF its OBJ
servance speedily sprang up between
Christians OF Jewish and Gentle descent,
which led to a long-contlnued and bitter
controversy, and an unhappy severance
OF Christian union.
No rule as TO the date Of the Easter
festivals having been laid down by au-
thorlty, Christians were LETT TO follow
their own instincts. and these were DIFF
ferent In the Jewish and Gentle
Churches.
The point at issue really was the dare
OF the termination OF the Paschai Feast.
and the chief point was the keeping
or mot keeping" the 18th day OF the
month "Nisan."
This diversity OF usage was gradually
brought TO an end by the verdict OF the
Church OF Rome. The Roman Christians
adopted the ordinary GENTLE usage
which within certain limits, placed the
observance OF the Crucifxion on Fri
day, and that Of the resurrection on the
following Sunday.

more intricate question remained TO be
solved, yiz.-how the full moon, on which
Easter depended. was to be predicted.
The dlversitles OF usage were put an END
to. in the kingdom OF Northumbria by the
conceit OF Streaneshalch. or Whitoy GOD;
and the Roman rule was finally establish
ed in England by Archbishop Theodore In
CO.
This rule may be thus briefly stated:
Easter Day is the first Sunday after the
14th day mot the full noon or the calen-
dar moon. which happens on or next
after March 2ist This calendar moon.
