ITALY.
MINISTERIAL CIRCULAR.

FLORENCE, Aua. 22.

The Minister of the Interior has addressed the
following circular to the Prefects, a telegraphic
summary of which has alrady appeared :
FLORENCE, Aug. 20.

" Confidential instructons solely addressed to
the Commanders of Corpsby the Minister of War,
directing them according io circumstances to main-
tain among their subordimtes that reasonable moral
solidarity, which like discipline is so essential to
military spirit, having teen disclosed by one of
those facts which the undersigned abstains from
qualifying, fell into the hinds of that portion of the
press for whom any argunent is available to attack
and oppose the action of the Government, in what-
ever form it may be manfested. These instructions,
therefore, being subjected to sinister interpretation
and passionate commentary, have without doubt
excited a certain commotion which it is sought to
feed and increase, with so much the greater danger
for the public welfare, since the nation is at pre-
sent assembling to renevr its legal representation.
" You, Signor Prefect, assuredly deploring this
imprudent, if not artificial agitation, will easily have
been able to observe that the only object of the
circular in question was to counsel all the officers of
the army, without distinction, to the effect that if
one of them happened to be the object of public or
private accusation he should not sink in the esteem
and confidence of his colleagues, nor be abandoned
by them until legal or moral proof of the charges
brought forward removed all doubt of his culpa-
bility. In that circular, in its spirit and scope,
there appeared nothing but a principle of rigorous
justice and expediency ; neither was there a shadow
of a design to menace the exercise of the political
franchise. No intentions of this kind can really
be honestly attributed to the illustrious general,
Minister for War, nor to the Councillors of the
Crown, his colleagues, who, from their long-tried
faith in liberal institutions, vouched by their past
life and recent political acts, should not, it appears
to me, have been offensively suspected of purposely
or inconsiderately infringing the rights of the citi-
zens consecrated by the constitution, and of offering
an insult to the army, as if regardless or oblivious
of the glorious prestige of its military virtue no less
than its devotion to the free ordinances of the
nation.

" It is very necessary that this conviction on your
part, Signor Prefect, should, by your influential
care, prevail among those under your administra-
tion ; and this counsel is so much the more oppor-
tune since some honourable members of the Cham-
bers, not recollecting that out of Parliament their
authority is only personal, meet to make manifesta-
tions hostile to the King's Government, thus
increasing the misunderstanding, and thereby the
danger of leading the public to form an unsound
and prejudiced judgment.
" You will, therefore, consider it your strict duty
to watch that none of the functionaries under your
direction in any way connive at, or take part in,
any such manifestations, which more or less openly
accuse the Government of departing from a consti-
tutional course. The Government will be able in
due time to repel the unjust accusation on legal
ground, but meanwhile cannot tolerate, from respect
for its own dignity and for justice, that those per-
sons, bound by their office to co-operate in the
action of the constitutional Government, should act
in open contradiction to their duty by protesting
against or opposing it.
" The undersigned expects, together with ac-
knowledgment of receipt of the present, to be ex-
actly informed of what you may have done in com-
pliance with these instructions, and the result
obtained.

"The Minister, G. LANZA."
