If a telegram published in the Daily News of Friday
is correct,. Prince Bismarck will shortly have a great opportunity of show- ing his impartiality. He recently complained to the Belgian Government of its Bishops, for interfering iu German affairs by publishing charges abusive of German laws. Dr. Forster, how- ever, the Prince-Bishop of Breslau, has just retreated from before the Falck Laws to Johannisberg, which is in his diocese, but in Austria. From this place of security he has informed the Govern- ment of Berlin that he was the secret administrator of the Posen diocese for whom the police were searching, and that he intends• to continue his functions. An Austrian Bishop, therefore, is not only abusing the Falck laws, but actively resisting them within German territory. We shall see, therefore, speedily if the same measure is meted out to Brussels and Vienna.
