GERMANY.I HE RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION.Nine new persecutions are entered against Mgr. Ledochowski, Archbishop of Posen, for having proceeded to iustni rnuuy Catholic priests without the authorization of Goven-ment. There has been a rumour that Mgr. Koett, the Bishop of Fulda, has had a stroke of apoplexy at the moment when the pious prelate was preparing to undergo eight days' imprisonment to which he hud been condemned by M. de Bismarck’s judges. This rumour is incorrect. Mgr. Koett suffers from rheumatic pains, but, in the opinion of the doctors, his state gives riso to no anxiety. The Government has withdrawn from the seminary of Cologne the annual subsidy of :U1H) thalers, under pretext that the teaching in that seminary is not in conformity with the ecclesiastical laws. The seminary of Bonn will soon be the ob ject of a like measure. But it is not the Catholic clergy alone who refuse to obey the ecclesiastical laws voted by order of M. de Bismarck ; the Protestant clergy declare in their turn that they cannot concur in the execution of those laws. Moved by these urgencies, the Government is trying to discover some way of escape’from the crisis that threatens it, and of calming the irritation reasonably caused by its proceedings.GKRMA.VY PREPARING FOR THE NEXT WAR.The Germans, ii appears, are hard at work preparing for the next war with France.
