NOTE OF THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT.
FLORENCE, Nov. 12, Ev=rnic.

General Menabrea has addressed a note to the
Italian minister in Paris, dated the 7th instant, in I,
which he points out that the condition of things
now exists undor which the French government,
by its circular of the 25th October last( solemnly
undertook to consider its duty fulfilled, and
withdraw from the Pontifical territory. General
Menabrea says :—" Now, relying upon the
word of France, we expect that the Imperial
government in its turn will discontinue its inter-
vention, which we considered unnecessary, which 1
is for Italy a deplorable fact, and if prolonged
would form an obstacle to stable arrangements.
Past events lead everyone to the conclusion that
the September convention wholly failed in its
object. Nothing has hitherto availed to mitigate
the hostile attitude of the Holy See towards the!
Italian government. Yet a sincere agreement with
Italy would remove all idea of peril for the Holy,
See, would secure the peninsula against the
renewal of deplorable bloodshed, and be a sure,
pledge of peace equally necessary to the Pontiff
and to Italy." In conclusion, General Menabrea
says :—" The soil which holds the tomb of the
Apostles, and is the depository of the traditions of
the catholic faith, is the surest seat of the Ponti-
ficate. Italy will defend and surround it with all
veneration and splendour, and make its liberty
and independence respected. But for the attain-
ment of this object arrangements for harmonising
the interests of the Holy See and Italy are indis-
pensable. If Italy is to be an element of order and
progress, it is necessary that the cause which keeps
her in a permanent state of agitation should be re-
moved. I trust that you will produce a convic-
tion that it is of the greatest urgency to settle the
Roman question without delay."

Instruction ; Dr. Berger, Minister of Justice ; and

Becke retains the portfolio of Finance for the cis-
Leithan provinces. Baron Sennyey, the Hungarian
Tavernikus, in spokenof as the Finance Minister of
the Empire.
The Prase and the Debate coincide in stating
that Baron Prokeach, the Austrian Ambassador to
the Porte, has not, as alleged by certain foreign
journals, been instructed to present either a note
or any other document upon the Cretan question,
but merely to discuss the matter verbally with
Fuad Pacha upon the basis of facts. The above-
named papers add that since the presentation of the•
last Austrian note, the serious position of the
Cretan question has remained unchanged.

Russian ambassador at Constantinople, has laid
before the Divan a project for the reform of the
