NICE.

Yesterday's Moniteur publishes the following
proclamation, addressed on the sth of April to the
inhabitants of the town and county of Nice :
" Fellow-citizens,—The uncertainty of our desti-
nies has just ceased. By the treaty signed on March
24, the valiant King Victor Emmanuel has ceded
to France Savoy and the district of Nice. The
most powerful motives of political convenience, the
exigencies of the future of Italy, the sentiment of
gratitude to his powerful ally, lastly the altogether
special circumstances of our country, have induced,
although with regret, that well-beloved sovereign
to part with provinces closely bound during many
centuries to his dynasty. But the lot of peoples
ought not to depend conclusively upon the will of
princes. Accordingly, the magnanimous Emperor
Napoleon 111. and the loyal Victor Emmanuel have
desired that the treaty of cession should be fortified
by the popular adhesion.

" For this purpose you will shortly be convoked
in electoral comitia, and his Majesty the King has
unexpectedly confided to me the provisional
government of this district in my capacity of your
fellow-citizen.

" Fellow-citizens, at the august voice of the
King, all uncertainty as to our future has dis•
appeared. In the same way, at his august words,
all dissensions and rivalries ought henceforth to
disappear. All the citizens ought to be animated
by the same spirit of conciliation. All oppositions
ought to break powerless against the interests
of our country and the sentiment of duty. More-
over, they would find an insurmountable obstacle
in the wishes of Victor Emmanuel himself.
" Public demonstrations at this moment have no
longer any justification. Their end would be to
compromise the public order, which will be hence-
forth energetically protected. Confidence, tran-
quillity, and collectedness ought to preside over the
solemn act to which you will be called.
" Fellow-citizens, the mission which the King
has just confided to me is transitory but important.
To fulfil my task in these extraordinary moments,
I rely on your concurrence, on your respect for the
laws, and on the high degree of civilisation to which
you have raised yourselves.
" Let us hasten, then, to confirm by our votes
the reunion of our country to France. In render-
ing ourselves the echo of the King's intentions, let
us link ourselves around the flag of that noble and
great nation which has always excited our liveliest
sympathies. Let us rally around the throne of the
glorious Emperor Napoleon 111. Let us surround
bim with that fidelity, altogether special to our
country, which We have preserved up to this time

to Victor Emmanuel. Of that august prince let us
cherish amongst us the remembrance, and let our
ardent wishes ascend for his new and brilliant des-
tinies. For the great Napoleon 111., whose power-
ful will is to open a new era of prosperity for our
country, will command our unshakeable fidelity
and our unbounded devotion.
" Vive la France !

" Vive l'Empereur Napoleon 111. !
" The Governor Regent LUBONIS."
