LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

AUSTRIA.
THE DEBATE UPON HOLSTEIN.

VIENNA, DEC. 6, Evening.

Rumours were current today that the debate in
the Lower House of the Reichsrath upon the Elbe
Duchies made so great an impression upon the
Government that the Ministry intended to tender
their resignation in a body. It was said also that
Count Rechberg wr,s not the only Minister who felt
his position shaken, for his reply was unanimously
approved by his colleagues.
The evening edition of the Oesterreichische
Zeitung, however, denies in the most decided
manner that there ie any truth in the rumours of a
Ministerial crisis, or of the resignation of Count
Richberg.
The Government has notified to the Federal Diet
that the troops intended to act as the reserve in
carrying out execution in Holstein are ready. The
command is to be given to General Gubbenz.

CIRCULAR OF GENERAL MOURAVIEFF,
WILNA, DEC. 2.

General Mouravieff has addressed a circular to
the Governor of the provinces of Wilna, Goodno,
Kowno, Minsk, Witepsk, and Mohilas, referring to
insurgents who give in their submission. The fol-
lowing are extracts. The fact is the more note-
worthy as General Mouravieff has constantly
declared Lithuania to be Completely pacified.
"Every commune in which former insurgents
are found is responsible for the acts of these indi-
viduals, and pay 300 roublee fine for each man who
again takes part in the insurrection, The Governor
should demand ampler guarantees from the com•
munes, if these persons are to be left at liberty in
their domiciles. Those insurgents for whom the
communes refuse to be responsible should be im-
prisoned and sent into the remote parts of
the empire (Siberia), where they will be settled as
colonists upon the lands of the State. They wil,
proceed from station to station as far as Pekow,
whence the governor of that town will direct them
to their place of destination, notifying to me," adds
General Mouriavieff, the arrival of each army.
All noble lrndowners and State functionaries
who have taken parts in the insurrection and
cannot find sate and solvent guarantees will
be retained in prison. They will be exa-
mined, and their statements sent on to Wilna.

" The communes which have afforded refuge to
former insurgents must immediately denounce all
individuals undeserving confidence or sympathising
with the insurrection to the military chiefs of such
districts, in order that they may be dealt with
according to the orders of the authorities,
and in especial be removed from the coun-
try. Thoee persons for whom the communes
have become responsible, and who have not justi-
fied the trust, are to be included under
this head. If all suspected persons are net de-
nounced within a month, and some should be sub-
sequently discovered, the delinquent communes, in
addition to the contribution of 300 roubles above
fixed, will be subjected to a further fine to be
fixed by the military authorities.
" Upon receipt of this circular the Governors
should immediately warn all the great landholders
that they will be liable to an extraordinary fine of 200
roubles at least for each of their servants, who shalt
give an insurrectionary bond, or shall be convicted
of having aided the insurgents. They will be
liable to double that amount for delinquent stewards
and persons employed upon their estates, and an
additional fine of 10 per cent. Will be levied upon
their dominions.

" Your Excellency is required to give the utmost
possible publicity to these orders, and to watch
rigorously over the execution."

rescript referring to the oath of allegiance refused
