, Inhabitants of the Province of Luxembourg.
! Fellow -citiZens!-l have sworn to MAINTAIN

territory. | shall be faithful to my OATH do
not suffer yourselves to be seduced by promises
/ or threats. The Congr has protested against

representatives.. We began our revolution IN spite

Of the protocols of London.
Acknowledgements have been for these
three centuries Belgians like US, and you have
shown yourselves worthy OF that name. Ever
since the reign of Philip the Good, your Efforts
like ours, have had for their object common ma
tionality. In 1915, you bad for the first time
chosen connection with Germany, but you have
continued to live under the same institutions as
the rest of Belgium. In the grand Duchy, as
well as in the other Relgic provinces, King Will
liam has broken the social compact which united
him to the BeIgians, and has released them from
their engagements, by violating his own. War
has decided between him and US; the legitimate
authority is that which the national will has found
ed. You are not strangers to our combats and
our victories You have spontaneously assoclat-
ed yourselves with the Belgic revolution, and the
names of your volunteers are inscribed IN the his
tory of our days. You already enjoy, as as far
circumstances will permit, the benefits of the re-
volut,on. The most odous taxes are abolished.
You have yourselves resumed your communal au-
thorities and your affairs are administered by men
of your own choosing. Your Deputies have con-
Cured in giving to Belgium the Constitution
which governs it. You have not forgotten the
vexations of which you have been for IS years
the victims. Fear the return of the Dutch sys'
tenn of taxation, which has ruined your manufac.
lures and your agriculture. The men who speak
to you of legal order, and who excite among you
civil war, are the agents, the accomplices, of the
by all the abuses, and they regret them. Rednc-
ed to itself, separated from Belgium, France
and Prussia, hemmed in on all sides by lines of
houses, your province. by constitutingit it
self apart would be the most wretched country
on earth.
Luxemburghers, remain united and firm
In the name of Belgium, accept the assurance
that your brethren will never abandon you"

FRANCE-CHANGE OF MINISTRY.
Another change has taken place in the French
Ministry, the former having retired it is said in
consequence of a disagreement of opinion with the
king, on the question OF Austrian intervention in
Italy, in which his intentions were more pacific
than those of his advisers. The following IS a
list Of the new cabinet:
