The Programme Of the New Ministry.
RoNE, March 2s.-In the Chamber Of Deputies
to-day Prime Minister Depretis announced the
programme Of. the new Ministry. It comprises
reform Of the electoral laws so as to give real
liberty, the restoration ofthe absolute independ-
enee of the magistracy. The financial condition
OF the country is greatly improved. forced
currency, however, still exists, and presents .
danger upon the removal Of which the Ministry
will concentrate its attention.
The Ministry intends to be neither aggressive
nor hostile to the Church, but TO hold sloof from
any idea OF coneiliatinY II. The Government re-
serves the right to Introduce measures for further
securing liberty Of conscience and regulating the
administration Of ecclesiastical property. Signor
lepretis, in concluding his explanation OF the
programme, said the Government ought not to be
mere party, and would therefore accept the CO.
operation OF all.

1t should be shown that the committee Of .

TO the trou BILE. 1t had q salutary effect but was
not perfect. Another law was passed In
