ILEROULES/ CA RI: INA L GONE A LVI, SECRETARY OF STATE
TO 1115 HOLINESS, ACC.

•44 People of the legations of Bologna, Ferreira, and
Ravenna—Atter a long and painful separation you
are restored by DIVINE l'uovmexce.,. and by the una-
nimous will ot the Allies, to the Holy bee, to the
arms of your father and sovereign. This happy event
is by the will of his Holiness to be acconi paniert with
the publication of the sentiments which he has thought
proper to adopt on this occasion, and with reference
to the circumstances of the times. All conduct, every
opinion which has taken place in these provinces in a
political view, since the separation, exists no longer
for his Holiness; it is his will that duo minds ot all
shall look for.v.ird to the future with equal confidence
and security,. and that this happy futurity be marked
by peaceful and frcernal joy.
44 His Holiness requires that all the citizens shall
imitate his example, and that you give thereby a proof
of your loyalty. !;very re-action upon the pa%c would
only protract the general misfortune. Be them all
forgotten, and every feeling ot resentment stilled.
His Holiness regards all his subjects as his sons, they
must Therefore corroder each other as brothers. in
big wisdom he basuwiighed the importance of the ap.
plieation of the above rinciplcs to the circumstances
of the times, and therefore engages especially,, that
purchasers et property &tin the preceding govern-
ments, who made their purchases according to the
laws and obligations at that time existing, shall nut
be disturbed in their possession.
a, His Holiness has considered that without this se.
entity, numberless interests, that are now confirmed,
would be shaken and overthrow.l. and that the peace
Hof many famine:, and even the public tranquillity,
the first want of a people, might be endangered
His Holiness has also► attended to.the.citcUmstance,
that the amount received fur this properly, has been
applied either to tiirnin;-,11 the public debt, which

otherwise tut* again fall may heavy es all classes,'
or upon the useful establishments for the provinces I
themselves. Besides.these motives, religion also pro-
nounces for the maintenance of the agreements that
have been concluded, and his Holiness designs to pro-
vide in some other manner for the objects for which
they were originally intended. From the same prin.
ciples his Holiness guarantees the public debt of the
provinces, and the judicial, civil, and military pen-
sions, reserving however his claims upon foreign
countries, in respect of these titles. Finally,- it is the
will of his Holiness that his beloved subjects shall
not only be made easy respecting the past, but also.
form just hopes for the future. He will consecrate
the remainder of his days to the welfare of his people.
Though the situation of Italy and Europe, and the
wants of his own people hinder his Holiness front
diminishing the taxes so much as his heart wishes, he
will, however, reduce them in some degree ; he
therefore reduces the land and personal tax one-fifth,'
the salt tax, a fifth, the stamp duty a fifth, the fees
f•lr registering public acts a fourth, and the excise a
fourth. His Holiness will immediately employ him-
self on a new system of administration, conformable
to the welfare of his people. But that it may bear
the stamp of wisdom, he is endeavouring first to in.
form himself of the resources and the burdens of the
provinces, by means of the Provisional Government
established in them. On these foundations the stable
fabric of an impartial anti paternal government, at-
tentive to see that the laws are observed, still be
erected; and his Holiness, after having implored by
his prayers the end of the evil, will neglect nothing
to leave to his people public and private welfare as a
permanent inheritance.
