Gp/Kmany. A Letter From Lubeck, Once A F...
Gp / KMANY . A letter from Lubeck , once a free city , now linger the protection of the Emperor of Austria , states that a persecution is commenced against the Jews . A n imperial decree forbids them to carry on business in Lubeck . It is added , that the poHcebee to rch
o ^ icers have n ordered sea all Jews , and seize their property . The senate have further decreed , that any person acting for , or transacti ng business with , a Jew , shall for the first offence be fined , and for the second , fined , imprisoned and degraded from the rank of a citizen : fmy clerk , porter , or menial servant , living with a
Jew , is to be first imprisoned , and then expelled the town , AH this , it is intimated , is done in spite to Buonaparte , who indulged ( he illegirimate design of raising tlic Hebrew nation in Germany from the rank of slaves , or beasts , to that of free
men . Yet we live m the 19 th century , and talk of the march of the human mind , and of the universal spread and omnipotent influence of knowledge , and preach as . if we were just entering upon the Millenium !
Wurtemburgh . Died here , in the prime of life , and after an illness of five days , the Queen of JVurtemburgh , knpwn ; in England by her former title of Duchess of Oldenburgh , and esteemed and respected for . the amiable manners and intelligent spirit , which she displayed on her visit to this country . She was the favourite sister
of the Emperor of Russia , the beuejicent Alexander , and is said , we doubt not trul y ^ to . be lamented by all ranks o-f ipeople in Russia and Wurtemburgh . The English Princess Royal is the JDowager-Queen of WurtenVburgh : she is reported to , have some urtprincely predilections for the late imperial family of France . The Prince Regent of Hanover has
issued a , cjirious proclamation ; with respect to hi $ good .

Bavaria.— '-Union Qf The Lutheran And Ca...
Bavaria . — ' -Union qf the Lutheran and Calvinist Churches . This Iong * inedUated project has been , aqooniplisbe 4 , in the Bavarian Circle of the Rhine- and will
probably be realized ia other parts oft Germany and in Switzerland . The Ae * t of Union was con ft * inned at Monich by a rescript of the king of Bavaria , on the > 16 th of October , 1818 . The following are the heads of agreement .
" General Regulations . The two confessions are fraternally united under the name ^ f the Protestant Evangelical Christian Church . It has no other basis of faith than the Holy Scriptures . u Religiipus Doctrine . It declares the Holy Sacrament of the Lord ' s Slipper to be a festival in commemoration of Jesus
Christ . Confession is a self-examination before partaking the Lord ' s Supper ; it is , therefore , no lunger called confession , but preparation . 4 t With respect to predestination and elective grace , the church expresses its conviction , that God has destined all men for salvation , and does not withhold from them the means of attaining it .
" It recognizes a sacrament of nomination , but does not deem baptism essential to salvation . " From these few main principles all the other rules for the conduct o £ divine worship are deduced . "
As far as the scheme is before us * we hail it as a signal instance of charity , and as the . largest stride that has been x » a ( Je for a long time in religious reformation . We are extremely desirous of gaining more information on this important
