BERLIN, APRIL 15.—1 t is affirmed in the higher circles of this city, that the Bavarian Ambassador has presented notes in the name of his Government, protesting against the proceedings ,of the German Catholics. The Ans. trial, Ambassador had' previous'y presented notes to the same effect. We are anxious to learn how our Government, which has hitherto left the German Catholic movement to take its own course unmolested, will answer the applications of Bavaria and Austria. It seems that the Government will want to see how far this movement may spread in the Prussian dominions. If the German Catholic congregations are considered as religious societies, merely tolerated by the State, they have no claim upon it, and are obliged to support their churches, schools, sc., from their own resources.—liamburgh Papers, April 22. TILE HAGUE, Arms. 20.—The Second Chamber of the States General, in its sitting of Saturday, the 19th, adopted, after a short debate, by -a majority of forty-seven to three, the project of law relative to legal ordinances in Limburg. The debate on the pr,ject of law respecting the collections of the indirect taxes which was to have taken place in that same sitting was deferred, the Government having made further changes in it, so that the Central Section judged it necessary to refer them to the examination of the Sections. AMSTERDAM, Arlin, 19.—The Stases Courant mentions two royal resolutions of the llth of this month. The first recals M. J. J. Rochussen, Minister of State, from the post of Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of Belgium, with thanks for the numerous and important services which he has rendered in that capacity. The second recals Baron Beutinck, Minister at the Courts of Baden, Bavaria, and Wurtemberg, and appoints him to succeed M. Rochussen at the Court of Belgium. The New Rotterdam Courant publishes some particulars of the reception given to the extraordinary mission sent last year to Japan by our Government The ship of the line which had the Dutch legation on board was not only received with extraordinary solemnity, but our flaf, was hoisted by the Japanese authorities with marks of re spect, of which history affords no previous example. It is well known that no vessel arriving at Decima is allowed to keep its guns and ammunition on board; an exception was made in favour of our Envoy, and the Dutch officers were besides permitted to retain their swords when they went on shore. which The letter addressed by the King to the Emperor of Japan immense havingtrai , resolvedic that the latter extended for two should be read in the presence of the Princes and the great leagues, was received with the greatest veneration, and forwarded to Jeddo the with Government n men of the empire. An express order of the Emperor directed that the train should avoid crossing large rivers, that it might not be exposed to any accident. The answer of the Emperor ofJapan is not expected till the beginning of next year. There is every reason to hope that the bonds of frieiniship and the commercial intercourse with this arcient and faithful ally will be strengthened and extended, and that the Japanese empire will offer a wider field to our commerce than it has latterly done. Other nations will perhaps one day have to thank Holland for having, by prudent measures to the advantage of civilisation and social intercourse, put 11 an end to the system of monopoly and isolation of' the Japanese. BitussELs, Arun. 21.—The Central Section appointed to examine the corn- law question was convoked for to-day. Count de Brieg, our Minister Plenipotentiaryondt for the German Confederation, and M. , Consular-General in Mexico, left Brussels to-day, to repair to their respective posts. Mr. RenoldS, Director of the Namur and Liege Railway Company, arrived here the day before yesterday, and immediately paid a visit to M. Deschamps, Minister of Public Works. The Chamber n 'i its sitting this morning, placed on the order of the day the project of law modifying the law on the differential duties which relates to goods brought by foreign ships touching at Cerves and other parts. The Minister of Marine presented two projects of law, one for preventing desertion from merchant vessels, the other for a vote of credit to cover arrears of expenditure. At the close of the sitting the Minister of Foreign Affairs presented a project of law on the duties to be levied by the Consuls.
