BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, MAY 22.—As yet no Cabinet has been
formed, but it is generally reported that the old
Ministry will be recalled, and that all will resume
office except the Minister of Finance, who is
thoroughly disconcerted at the total overthrow of all
his financial plans. Other reports say that M. Frere
will likewise resume office upon certain conditions
laid down by himself, and that the vacant portfolio of
War will alone be filled up. Some consider the
re-
signation of the Cabinet merely a Ministerial ruse.
The most recent intelligence, received this morn•
ing says :—"
We are able to announce from good
authority, that the Ministerial crisis approaches its
termination. All the former Cabinet will resume
their functions. The law on inheritance is to be
again submitted to the Chamber, after undergoing
some modification. The oath is definitively aban-
doned, but the principle of the direct line is to be re-
introduced in the case of immoveable property alone.

Mr. Manlius proposed that the subject should
stand over to some future day, as he considered it
far too important to be discussed, except in the case
of a responsible Ministry, and certainly not in the
presence of a resigned Cabinet.
His motion was warmly opposed. by M. Veydt,
and when put to the vote was negatived by a great
majority.—Brussels Papers, May 22.
In obedience to the summons of the King of the
BELGIANS, M. DUMON-DOIORTIER arrived on the
223 in Brussels ; but the lndependance says that he
seemed disposed to persist in his refusal to form a
Cabinet, though he had consented to confer with some
political personages and some Members of the Cham-
ber on the situation of affairs.
No Cabinet had been formed on the 933.

ITALY.
General GEMEAu, the Commander:in-Chief of the
French army of occupation in Rome, has issued the
following proclamation
" Serious and frequent attacks have recently been

tion and generosity hitherto shown by the French.
Since, however, that generosity has not been properly
appreciated, recourse must be had to rigorous. measures.
In consequence, the General COMIIIBUthng the division of
occupation in Italy orders the following enactments for
the city of Rowe and its neighbourhood. All licences
to carry arms of any kind are revoked; all fire-
arms, swords, and poignard knives must be delivered
up at the &at-major of the garrison on or before
the 17th. After the expiration of that period domi-
ciliary visits will be made and searches take place,
when any individual found in possession of the
arms or weapons above mentioned will be arrested and
brought before a court-martial and tried according to
the laws. In addition to the penalty imposed, the guilty
party will have a fine inflicted of 15 crowns for every
weapon found in his possession. The proprietors will
be responsible for the arms found in their houses. It
was remarked on Sunday last, the 11th inst., that a
number of individuals were walking on the Corso,
carrying canes large enough to lead to the belief that
they contained prohibited weapons; such a kind of
menace cannot be any longer tolerated. Those who
shall be found carrying such canes will be arrested by
the patrols established for that purpose, and which will
be accompanied by police agents. The delinquents will
be detained until the payment of 15 crowns shall have
been made, and the suspected canes shall be lodged at
the Etat-major. The fines shall be appropriated to the
use of the military hospitals. The Commandant of the
Garrison, the Prefect of Police, and the Commandant
of the Gendarmery are charged with the execution of
the present proclamation, for the observance of which
the undersigned General claims the co-operation of all
the officers of the army, who, in making the French
uniform respected, will at the same time exercise a right
and perform a duty. (Signed) " A. GEMEALT.'
