Ratisbon, June 26. O.S. The Evangelical Body have sent a new Memorial to the Emperor, setting forth, That the Protestant States of the Empire are very sensibly mortify'd to see that all the Pains they have hitherto taken, to obtain a Redress of their religious Grievances, have been in vain; that those Grievances, far from decreasing, augment every Day; and consequently, become thereby more difficult to accommodate; that the Constitutions of the Empire are violated in this Respect; and that the frequent Breaches made them justly apprehend that the Protestants would, by Degrees, be turn'd out of the Churches and Schools they possess in the Roman Catholick States of the Empire, out of which they must afterwards be obliged to retire themselves.
