THE INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED TO GEN.

110IIRAVIEFF.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 16.
The following is a faithful translation of the ori-
ginal instructions issued in the course of the past
month by the Government of the Czar to General
Mouravieff upon the appointment of that officer to
the chief military command in the revolted Polish
provinces :

" His Imperial Majesty, attaching the highest
importance to the immediate suppres,ion of the
troubles v hich have broken out in some districts of
the Lithuanian provinces, has deigned to appoint
his Excellency General Monrovia(' as Governor-

General and Commander-in Chief of the Army in
the Government of Wilna. Aware of the hostile
sentiments of the nobility of these provinces
to the Czar and to Russia, his excellency
should employ the most energetic measures against
those whom he supposes favourably disposed to-
wards the rebellion. His Excellency should obtain
information from the Marshals of the nobility upon
the sentiments of the landowners towards the Czar,
and will then take such measures as he may con-
sider fitting against the suspected persons. His
Excellency should take every opportunity
of acquainting the peasants with the
paternal intentions of the Czar towards them,
and of demonstrating that the landowners are their
enemies and oppressors. If his Excellency considers
it advisable, he can also furnish arms to those among
the peasants who are attached to the Czar and to
Russia.

" His Excellency should proceed with the greatest
rigour against the Catholic clergy, who are the
actual instigators of the rebellion.

He should have lists prepared of the suspected
priests, and adopt the most energetic measures to-
wards them.

" With regard to the rebels, his Excellency will
cause the chiefs who may fall into his power to be
immediately shot, and will take such steps as he
may consider fitting against the prisoners.
" If circumstances render it advisable, his Ex-
cellency can adopt measures against families who
possess members in the ranks of the insurgents.
His Excellency should oppose certain demonstra-
tions of the women, and for their hindrance will
even adopt severe measures against them.

" If bis Excellency finds the forces at present
in Lithuania insufficient, he should immediately re•
quest reinforcements.

"To sum np, Lis Excellency should therefore
employ all the means which he shall judge neces-
sary for the immediate pacification of the country;
His Majesty having deigned to confer upon him
full powers."
Signed at the Imperial Chancellery.
