It is proven that a microcanonical Gibbs measure on a classical discrete lattice system is a mixture of canonical Gibbs measures, provided the potential is ''approximately periodic'', has finite range and possesses a commensurability property. No periodicity is imposed on the measure. When the potential is not approximately periodic or does not have the commensurability property, the inclusion does not hold. As a by-product, a new proof is given of the fact that for a large class of potentials, a canonical Gibbs measure is a mixture of grand canonical measures. Thus the equivalence of ensembles is obtained in the sense of identical correlation functions.
