AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, Jax. 27, Evenly..

A circular has been despatched by the Minister
of the Interior to the chief officials in the provinces
announcing that as in future all members of the
administration are bound to swear to inviolably
observe the fundamental laws of the empire, so also
must those who have already been sworn now make
a fresh declaration, swearing fidelity to the new
constitution. Nobody is to be forced to make this
declaration. It is not a mere formality but a
political act of national importance. Besides in-
violable fidelity to the Emperor, there will be
required from all functionaries an uncondi-
tional observance of the constitution and
fundamental laws. The minister the more
emphatically requires sincere devotion and stain-
kes fidelity to the constitution, since he is respon-
sible for all acts of the internal administration.
Treachery and hostility to the constitution, he
says, met be regarded as quite as grave a derelic-
tion of duty as any other violation of the official
oath. Mere indifference or neutrality to the con-
stitution is not sufficient. In conclusion the
minister requires from the officials strict punc-
tuality, quick transaction of business, a thorough
emancipation from formalism, constant willingness
in their communications with the people, disin-
terested impartiality, and the maintenance of their
social position by an irreproachable private life ;
then will the Austrian officials be the most effi-
cient interpreters of the constitutional idea.
