The King of Sardinia has issued a somewhat singular procla-

mation, the object of which is to protect the military from the people. All offences against a soldier are in future to be tried by the military council of the division to which the soldier belongs. If a soldier is wounded by one of the people, the punishment will be death ; if merely assaulted, the galleys for life will be the infliction. Among the acts which the people are forbidden to commit, is throwing paving stones at the military : there does seem some reason in this provision.
