LATEST IINTEUIGIENC&"
ROME.
CIRCULAR OF THE NATIONAL COM-
MITTEE.

The following is the text of the circular issued
by the National Committee of Rome, briefly
alluded to by telegram, against the manner in
which the pontifical government continues to in-
crease the public debt :

Rome, Doe. 31.

The members of the undersigned committee feel it their
duty to call the attention of the public to the incessant
segmentation of the pontifical debt by means of fresh israes
of recta, and declare that, from information on which they
can rely, there is reason to believe that the issues made
since the 27th March last will not be recognised by the
Italian government. In feet, from the moment that the
parliament, the sovereign interpreter of the national
proclaimed before all Europe that Rome was the capital of
united Italy, the temporal power of the Popes creed to
exist legally, and the pontifical government, deprived of
all legitimate authority, became the unjust occupier of
states which no longer belonged to it. The Italian govern-
ment could not, therefore, recognise such debts with-
out acting in contradiction to iteelf, and wilhoat
violating the vital and constitutive principle of
its existence—the Indiana will. On the other hand, it
would be an atrocious insult to the nation to claim the
payment of the debts of the pontifical court—debts an-
trotted for the purpose of exciting and maintaining brigand- '
age in the southern provinces, of preventing the levy in the
Martha, Umbria, and the Romagna ; causing eintarram-
mute to the King's government both at home and abroad ;
and retarding as much as possible the complete unification
and constitution of Italy. The undersigned committee feel
themselves compelled to make this declaration in the interest
of those who, being attracted by the increasing fall in the
Roman Rents, might by chasm deceive themselves as to
j the future.—Tat Bomar NATIONAL Commas.

TURIN, SAL U.

The /talks of to-day says :
"It is rumoured that the ministry will shortly
present to the Chambers a bill, authorising a loan
of 130 millions of lire in obligations for 100 years,
to be secured on the state railways. Nothing,
however, has yet been resolved upon.
" Count Bastogi, Minister of Finance, has an-
nounced that the Minister of Public Works will
shortly present a special bill, providing for the ex-
penses of the railways, which will require 60
millions."
