      Untitled Article

      We have lately noticed the restraints imposed by several Catholic governments upon ecclesiastical tendencies to interfere with the interests of the State , and we may perhaps usefully follow up the same subject with some particulars as to the regulations imposed by the Bavarian Government on ih& education and qualifications of the clergy of its establishment , for which we are indebted to an article in theilevue Encyclopedique for May , 1827 . *

      The education of the clergy has atways been a subject of considerable solicitude among the German princes . The Austrian reforms under Maria Theresa , Joseph II ., and the present Emperor , are generally known . The grand dutchy of Baden , Wurtemberg , and Bavaria , have followed the exr ample . In Bavaria , in particular , a regularly organized system has been

      established in accordance with the fundamental principles in ecclesiastical matters recognized by the constitution , and with the concordat of 1817 . It should , in the first instance , be observed what are the general principles which in Bavaria regulate the relations between theChurelr and the State .

      In the first place , the Catholic religion is declared to be the religion of the State , but all other modes of faith and worship are free . Every citizen , whatever be his creed , has the same rights , civil and political , and is equally admissible to all public employments and privileges . In the second place , the articles of the concordat concluded with the See of Rome , are in their application declared to be subordinate to the regulations and principles of the fundamental law on which the constitution is founded , and especially to the edict concerning matters of religion which

      forms part of that law . Thirdly , every thing which concerns public instruction and study is considered in Bavaria as forming part o £ the higher administrative police under the controul of the government .. The ecclesiastical authorities cannot interfere except when the introduction of a new catechism or Other manual of reli g ion is under consideration ; but they have not even the ri g ht of publishing a new catechism without the special approbation of the king .

      * [ The following communication has in' part been anticipated by a note in our last , p . 633 , but a * the subject is interesting , and our readers inay wish further details , we have thought it best to give the additional statement . Edit . ]
