The Piedmonlese Gazette contains an official article
calling upon the conductors of journals to abstain
from severe reflections upon foreign governments and
their chiefs. "These censures," it is said, "are more
deplorable when they are addressed to the govern-
ments of neighbouring countries with which our
relations are of necessity more intimate and frequent,
and it is not unreasonable to fear that those relations
may become embittered in consequence of the publica-
tions referred to. To affront, as is often done, the
honour of foreign armies, is so much the more mis-
chievous and unjust, inasmuch as the foreigners so
offended have often rendered to our army the most
flattering testimony."
The police authorities of Milan have prohibited the
use of masks at the approching carnival. It is also

• of Wednesday last of Mr. Memo's krall on the Karreige.
The robbers succeeded in getting off with about twelve
head of cattle, chiefly coca, most of them purchased at Mr.
Pollard's sale a "horn time since. The spoor of two Kaffira
and one club footed Hottentot w a found on the spoor of
these cattle, which, it appeared, had been driven in the first
Matinee down the Kurtiga towards Paarde Kraal, whence,
taming abruptly round, at went back as far as Brookbui-
eon's Poore Here the traces appear to have been lost, and
it is supposed the stolen cattle must have been driven
through the Poert and from thence scram the next ridge
• into the bushy kloofs of the Fish River.
Accounts from Fort Beaufort state that the gallant
patriot Captain Lakeman has narrowly escaped death by
the hands of a rebel Hottentot. No was out shooting
accompanied by only a single attendant, and was beating
abash, Cantain Lawman having gone one way and his
servant another, when the former was fired on at so short
a distance that the concussion knocked him down. His
escape seems little shorn of a miracle, as the charge was of
limper', some of which gassed his face, but fortunately
without doing any serious injury. The ruffian who fired
appears to have got off unscathed.

The following government notice has been issued,
dated

Coloodal Ofles, Caps of Good Bops, 15th D•cember,
1862 :—A sleek in the employment of the Colonial Govern-
ment having declined to answer an inquiry addressed to
him by direction of the Lieut.-Governor, whether during
the peri..d of such employment he had been a contributor
to, or directly or indirectly connected with, the newspaper
pram of the colony, his honour di.ects it to be notified, for
the information and guidance of the public service generally,
that the followieg principles in reference to this subject
have at various times, and so recently as the present year,
been promulgated and enforced by her Majesty's govern-
ment :

1. Public anent* ere not, under any circumstances, to
be contributors of political matter to a newspaper.
2. They may contribute articles of a literary or scientific
character ; but such articles must bear the name of the con-
tributor attached.

3. Articles, although of a purely literary or scientific cha-
racter, are nut to be contributed to political journals which
oppose the government. Any connexion with, or concern
in such journals, is regarded at "inconsistent with the
maintenance of that official subordination which is essential
fo► the good of the public Denim."
4. Public servants who fail to exculpate themselves
from the charge of violating the foregoing rules, an
liable to be removed from their offices ; and " are not to
suppose that no notice can be taken of their conduct, unless
the charge can be substantiated ag.inst them in the same
manner as would be necessary in the case of a criminal
charge brought against an indtviduel in a court of law."
6. Public servants are required to answer any question,
however tategorical, which may be put to them by authority
of the government, respecting their connexion with public
journals; or to deny the truth" of any imputation made
unon them in that respect. And "if they refuse to do so,
their removal must be the consequence."
