A letter from Vienna, dated the 11th inst. says: the remarkable procession which goes every year in pilgrimage to Maria Zelle, set off this morning—it was more numerous than ever. The total amount of the pious souls, who have undertaken this painful journey, may be stated as much beyond 12,000. The Suffragan Bishop gave them his benediction; and if the weather be propitious they will be followed by numbers of all classes, from the several provinces through which they have to pass, who are anxious to participate in the plenary indulgence which is granted to the penitent souls.
