towns and villages, are hereby warned that they
will be subject to instant arrest for participation in
the insurrection by word or deed, by incitement, or
by publicly reading rebellious proclamations and
m

anifestocs inside or outside the churches, and to
stringent punishment with the utmost severity of
military law. The excuses such persons frtquently

employ, that they had only participated in the re-
bellion by the pressure of superior force, shall not
be accepted, as priests who serve the altar are least
of all justified in allowing themselves to be terrified
by threats. It is their duty to devote themselves to
the pacification of the country and to induce every

person to keep the oath of allegiance towards his

Sovereign. Priests who fail to accomplish this duty
are doubly culpable, and will be subjected to the
severest punishment as examples to the rest. The

superiors of Catholic convents will be made respon-
sible for the preparation and storage in the same of
materials for the objects of the revolt, and fall un•
der the jurisdiction of the military tribunals.
" 13. The cir-captains shall at once arrest and de-
liver over to the military authorities all citizens—
in especial landed proprietors, stewards, superiors
of convents, and local clergy—who shall participate
in the revolt, or distribute revolutionary proclama-
tions, or who shall not at once inform the nearest

authorities of the formation of rebellious bands, or

of preparations tending to insurrection, or who shall
in any way afford the rebellion aid, sympathy, or
assistance. This order is to be communicated with-

out delay to the peasants, recommending their ob-
servance of the strictest vigilance that no revolu-
tionary assemblages, meetings, or preparations for

rebellion take place in their communities or upon

the boundaries.
" 14. The real and money property of all persons,
without distinction of position, who have sworn

allegiance to the insurgent Government, or have
taken any part in the rebellion, whether by the
supply of money or ether materials, whether by the
distribution of revolutionary proclamations,whether

by a generally marked hostile and rebellious ten-
dency to overturn the authority of the Government,
shall be immediately placed under sequestration.
The Governors are strictly ordered to carry out this

decree in the severest manner and without the

slightest delay. Supplies of grain or food found
upon the sequestrated estates are to be immediately

distributed among the troops and the militia; other
materials and goods shall be immediately sold, and
the product devoted to the same purpose. Similarly
all revenues resulting from such estates shall be

applied to cover the costs occasioned by the sup

pressioa of the insurrection.
" 15. In the circles of the governments of W itepsk
and Mohilew, which are not included in the ukase
of the Senate of the let of March last, the property

of persons belonging to the above category shall be
likewise sequestrated, and their revenues be taken

possession of by the Government. Farther, upon
such estates the peasants who, in conformity with
the ukase of the Senate of June 27, 1862, are in a
transition state of emancipation shall be at liberty
to pass at once from the payment of serf dues to the

payment of rent, without further agreement with
the proprietor ; such rent, similarly to all other

revenue, but not being handed over to the proprie-
tor, but deposited in the hands of the Provisional

Government until its ultimate disposal is decided on.
Should the emancipation have been already com-
pleted upon such sequestrated estates, the rent due
is to be disposed of in a similar way.

' 16. The police authorities in towns and districts

are, together with their officials, to consider them,

selves under the immediate control of the Com-
mander-in-Chief and the sub-military commanders.
The Civil Governors, in conjunction with the Cora
manders-in-Chief of the different governments, wil
unite their exertions to suppress the insurrection,
and will apply the severest and harshest measures
to attain this end. In a word, the Governors and
military commanders will ca-operate and see that
all orders are strictly carried out, without showing
the slightest consideration or mercy to the offenders,
and that the insurrection may not only be crushed
out by the application of the severest punishments,
but also that such measures may be adopted as are
calculated to prevent any further insurrectionary
preparations.
" 17. The district military commanders will im-
mediately arrest all rural and town police officials,
rangers, forest keepers, ani other persons in the
service of the State who have not given proof of
positive loyalty, and who may have rendered more
or less assistance to the insurgents, or not have
joined the general movement of officials and troops
for the suppression of the insurrection. The Go-
vernors will, after having proved their guilt, re-
move such persons from office and deliver them over
to the courts-martial as doubly guilty, inasmuch as
they have twice broken their oath by not only fail-
ing to oppose the insurgents, as was their duty, but
by joining them. In like manner, all those officials
must be considered as perjured and doubly criminal
who have openly taken part in the insurrection.
No distinction must be made as to nationality, as
such a distinction could not be permitted, inasmuch
as all
profess,allinhabi aretan Russian subjects,tsofßussia,whatever religion they
m
and subjects of
the same monarch, and equally responsible for any
violation of their oath of allegiance. According to
this rule all persons must be delivered over to the
courts-martial who, being in the service of the
State, knowingly suffer to take place in the posts
and localities intrusted to them insurrectionary con-
spiracies, armaments, or preparation for the forma-
tion of insurrectionary bands, and who have not
taken timely and proper measures to oppose such
undertakings, or given the higher authorities no in-
formation concerning them. Explanations to the
effect that they had omitted making such announce-
ment from family considerations, or because they
were endangered by the threats of the insurgents,
shall not be held to justify their conduct.
"18. The ranger and his subordinate officers are
likewise under the immediate control of the district
military commanders. It will be the duty of the
Forest Guards to keep their respective circles clear
of marauders, and to disperse any small isolated
bands of insurgents. Should, however, any con-
siderable insurgent corps make its appearance the
Foresters are at once to report the circumstance to
the nearest military detachment, and to assist in the
extermination of the corps in question. Such
officers or subordinate officials of the Forest Guards
who may give cause for suspicion as to their loyalty,
or who may not have been sufficiently active in the
discharge of their duties, shall be treated as insur-
gents and tried by court-martial accordingly. It
will be at the discretion of the officer in command
of the troops, should he deem
.it necessary, to with-
draw the Forest police altogether, and to incorporate
it with his own forces.
" 19. The Civil Governors will issue proper orders
to the local authorities throughout the provinces to
insure the protection of small detachments, and to
provide them with quarters and rations. If on the
estates of those proprietors who are taking part
more or less in the insurrection there is a store of
provisions whence the insurgents draw supplies,
such estates must bear all expenses incurred by the
military in suppressing the insurrection. Rye, oats,
and other produce found on these estates must im-
mediately be taken for the rations of the troops,
while the horses and vehicles will be used for tran-
sport. The commanders of troops are bound to give
an exact account of the produce they
may have taken
from these estates.

A TREASURE OF A CAT.--" We have a black
Tom," says a writer in the Athenceum, " which in
connection with our domestic service, ate 2lbs. of rump-
steak when it was only a kitten of 19 ounces, and which, in
the same connection, has since then smoked cabanas,
broken bottles and lapped up claret, carried off kid gloves
to unknown fairy tabbies, and burned or mislaid papers of a
confidential kind."

Yesterday being the anniversary of her Majesty's

dockyard, Portsmouth, over all the public buildings,
and on all the salient points of the fortifications;
the flagship of the Commander•in- Chief (the Victory),
with all others of her Majesty's ships in commission
at the port, being each dressed under its own arch
of colour. At 1 p.m. a Royal salute of 21 guns was
fired by her Majesty's ship Victory and,by the salut-
ing battery on the King's Bastion of the garrison.
To-day will be observed as a general holiday in the
town, the dockyard, and all the public establish-
ments. The event was celebrated in a similar man-
ner at the other dockyards.
The Lyra, 9, screw corvette, under repairs iu dock
at Portsmouth, is ordered to be completed by the
shipwright department by the 9th of July, and is to
be brought forward for immediate commission. The

chinery in the steam basin for immediate commis-
sion, and the Wasp, screw corvette, under exten-
sive repairs in dock, is being hurried forward as
