The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

From Dresden we learn, that an ordinance has been published in the electoral state, which permits the Catholics not only the free exercise of their religion, but gives them the liberty likewise to purchase houses in the cities and towns of the electorate, also to obtain the rights of freedom of companies, &c. of which they have hitherto been deprived on account of their religion; hope is also given them of enjoying some other privileges. So that after the august chief of the empire has shewn an example of toleration in favour of the Protestant religion throughout his states, the Protestant Princes begin already to imitate him, by permitting in theirs the exercise of the Catholic religion.
