Decree from the Pope.

--The Herald states that a decree, previously satisfied by the Pope of Rome, has just been promulgated in New York city. It provides for all Catholics who get married by a Protestant minister, and invests the power of pronouncing the anthems in the Bishop. The decree however, has been understood not to apply to former marriages.
