POLITICO-REIrlGJOUS * The alarming deficiency of priests tit France , has occasioned the Cardinal Archbishop of Rouen , to publish a Pastoral Letter , in which he observes , *• Within a few years , the vast diocese of Rouen will be without priests . It is impossible to replace the ravages made by death : many of our fellow-labourers have
reached 50 years of age ; many are beyond chat period ; perhaps very soon our country places , and even our cities will have nothing but a few Missionaries wandering from par ' . sh to parish , and effecting but little of what ought to be done ; and without better encouragement of the Seminary at Rouen , ' he adds , u nothing will remain to trie Qhurch of Rouen , but the bare edifices and the re *
grets of the faithful . " ' As one proof of the substance of this Pastoral Letter , it appears , that in the Diocese of St . Brieux , where there are 500 , 000 souls , instead of 700 there are scarcely 500 Cures . —One hundred and sixty priestshave died in that dioce .-e in the
last two years , and the Seminary contains only thirty persons destined to take orders .- —During the last 15 years , scarcely any persons have taken orders in France . In consequence of the cession of Augsburg to the King of Bavaria , the Jesuits settled there ever since the abolition of
their order in 1772 , consisting of Father Zallinger , and some other learned men , have been compelled to leave that city , and remove to Mohilow and Polozck , to which places , they have been in the habit of sending Noviciates from time to time . The Gazette de France of January 18 th ,
quotes a letter from Genoa * stating that a hew monument of religion and benevolence will soon be erected upon the summit of the Alps . A convent of Trappiets has been established some timcx in Genoa : when his Majesty the Emperor was last at Milan , the relkious of this
monastery solicited his promise of its pre ~ servation , which was granted . Since that period the minister , Portalis , has informed the Father , Abbe de la Trappcy that his Majesty also wished for a ne > v establishment of the order upon Mount Geaevre , and that the government would immediately undertake to procure the necessary means for both the
establishments . With the Catholic Religion , superstiticfn seems ^ o be recovering strength upon
