TYROL, May 25.

Different proclamations have appeared within these few days, announcing the energy with which the Government is adopting the proper measures for securing this country from invasion. One of these proclamations, dated Innspruck, the 21st of May, begins in the following manner:

"We must unite all our efforts to save the country. It is essentially necessary to the maintenance of religion, the constitution, the property, and every thing that is most dear. We have an entire confidence in the tried courage of the Tyrolese nation, which conjointly with the Imperial troops who are this moment entering the country, are in a condition to check the enemy if they should attempt an invasion. But to this end provisions and money are necessary ; the former cannot be procured without a sufficiency of the latter."

The Proclamation then goes on to recommend the instant converting of the church plate into money. Private persons are also invited to send their plate to the mint, and their arms.

A second Proclamation was issued on the 22d establishing the manner of transmitting the church and private plate, and the nature of the obligations to be delivered for them.
