" PROVISIONAL OOVIRNMINT OF SICILY.

"Citizens,—The dictator having gone away for
some days from this generous capital, has charged
me to take the reins of state in his absence.
Although the mission is beyond my strength, I
have accepted it without hesitation, certain as I
am to find in you honest co-operation, submission
to the laws, and those self-sacrificing virtues with-
out which no liberty can be founded, no state can
be powerful. The dictator goes to put himself at
the head of our army which is operating in the
province of Messina I have the firm conviction
that the conqueror in all the combats that
he has hitherto engaged with the enemies of Italy
is destined to achieve new and signal triumphs.
Although grieved that 1 cannot share with him
the dangers of the coming battles I find a consola-
tion in the thought that I am devoting myself to
the well-being of your country, which both for its
new and old glories I love with the affection of a
child. Render my teak easy by showing me that
devotedness which you show to the man whom I
am proud to have for my chief.
"Palermo, July 18."
