Germany. Dantzick, Aug. 21. According to a private letter
from Warsaw, divine service continued to be performed
according to the Lutheran ceremony, in the chapel of the
danish minister; and as the Jesuits church joins to that
chapel, their service is frequently interrupted by the
singing of the Lutheran hymns. The Jesuits thereupon
applied to the Prince Primate to put the seal upon that
chapel; in answer to which the Prince asked them if they
were acquainted with the law of nations? What they would
say, and what method they would take to relieve themselves,
if the seal of Russia was to be put upon their church and
their rich convents? And whether it would not be more
consistent with their intuition, if they were to employ
themselves in converting heathens, rather than in sowing
divisions among christians?
