THE following Catalogue exhibits the present state of Popery in the United States, according to the official account published in the Baltimore Catholic Almanac for 1833, with additional information derived from other authentic sources. It is consequently as perfect as it can at present be made. In geueral, it may be remarked, that with the exception of Georgia, North-Carolina and South Carolina, which are stated to be nearly complete.-some of the other States are still essentially defective. There are probably Priests resident where there is no mention made of it; and Mass houses where they are not specified, while some of those which are designated may be unfinished; and there are many stations of which no notice is as yet taken, probably because they were not sufficiently important for present enumeration; or because the Papal Legate was afraid as yet to unfold the whole.
