(No. XXXVIIL) A REVIEW of the different WORKS on WALACHIA and MOLDAVIA, by 31. MALTE-Buux. [Continued from Monday's Paper.] The English Consul-General, Mr. WirariN'So3t, pays particular attention to the Political Econo my of the Country, which he was required to observe in his official capacity. He thinks that the population of Walachia amounts to a million of souls, and that . of 600,000; this is more than any other'previous statement admits. and yet it is not one half of, the numbers these two principalities could maintain, if they were to enjoy from 10 to 15 years peace under a tole rable administration. For the natives marry early in life, and have many children ; but dis tress and misery carry off the greater portion of the population in the cradle ; and they could grow twice as much corn, and feed. double the number of cattle, without any very extraordinary exertion on their parts; but the precarious state of the country arrests the arm of the farmer, and Makes the shepherd indifferent respecting his flocks and herds. . . . A sixth part o f the soil is 'cultivated in Wa lachia ;it produces. ten million bushels-of corn, one million and a half of which are• taken by the Ottoman Porte for the consumption of the capi tal. The Porte also levies a contribution of 3000 horses and 250,000 sheep for the . capital ; so we may easily conceive that the invasion of Ypsilanti would enrage the Captain -cook of the Janissaries, who carries a soup-ladle five feet long likea musket; and that.. in his passion he would upset his sauce-pans and break his spits. The furnishing these supplies,- however, does not exonerate these two principalities from paying the pecuniary tribute, or the miri,•which drains Walachia of two miilion.of Turkish.piastres, and Moldavia of one million. ... 7 The following are the different sources of pub lic revenue in Walachia.. 'The .. tributary pea sants are distributed into loods. or classes of 5 or 10 each as is most convenient; each lood pays an nually a poll-tax of 600 Turkish piastres, and in 1817 there were, according to the' different-regis ters, 18,000 loods paying 10,800,000 piastres, or 360,0001.. sterling. A poll -tax is also .levied on nearly a hundred thousand shopkeepers, Jews, Ar menians, Teluganes, and other foreigners.- The Royal imposts produced annually 2,730,000 piastres, viz. 600,000 from the .duty‘ on salt, 380,000 from the Customs. 420;000 ,from the pogtage of letters, and the post-horse duties ; and 1,380,000 from the vinurit, the °yard and the dysmarit ; that is, the duty on wine, sheep, and pigs. These sums would. appear scarcely credible, if Mr. Wilkinson did not assure us that he saw them paid six years in advance by a corn piny of Farmers-general, or Contractors. To these sums we should add the exactions of the Ispruvink, or Receivers-General, who are.allow ed 6000 piastres, but who manage 'to triple their ' salaries. Besides which, the Bishopricks - and Abbeys are almost openly sold for the benefit of the Hospodar, who even occasionally levies contribution on the rich monasteries. With rea son therefore is Walachia denominated the Peru , of the Greeks ; and it is indisputable that the honest gentlemen residing in the quarter of Fanar, have carried the science-of Finance to as high a pitch as the most civilized Europeans. The lands of the Boyars and Clergy.pay no legal- contribution. The' Clergy possess a third of the country, and *the revenue of the Metro politan is equal to 400,000 piastres; Every Boyar when he dies leaves a legacy to the church. The . peasants are no longer the serfs of the Boy ars , P r i nce Constantine aurocordato having abolished servitude in 1735 ; and to in demnify the Boyars, he assigned to each of them a number of tributary peasants, called Sokotel raki, who are bound to pay their master twenty piastres every year, or give him an equivalent to that amount in labour. This point is not suf ficiently explained by Mr. Wilkinson ; and it seems, by M. Recordon's account, that the Boyars have still the right to make the peisantry work for them, and likewise retain many other feudal prerogatives. There is a class of peasants who are exempt from all personal labour; it consists of the postuiniki, or new colonists from Bul garia, Servia, and the Austrian provinces. We expected much information concerning the trade of these provinces, and were not disap pointed, for this subject is admirably treated by Mr. Wilkinson. The woollens of Germany, English•muslins, and French cambrics, are_the chief articles of importation. They export among other things five hundred thousand bare-skins, six hundred okas* of the seed of the rhainnus infectorius, used in dying yellow, and forty thou sand quintals f of wool of excellent quality. The Consular gravity of Mr. Wilkinson relaxes a little, when he speaks of the fair sex. The women of Bucharest imitate the fashions. of Con stantinople, covering their heads with cac,hemires and diamonds like the Sultanas, and passing their time in conversation, seated after the manner of . the Turkish ladies. Marriages are contracted here without the least regard to personal airections. Young girls are offered, as it were by auction, to the persons who are willing to accept them with the smallest portion : this may bear some analogy to the prac tice of other countries, but there is no parallel for the scandalous facility with which, says our Consul, divorces are obtained, or more properly speaking, declarations of nullity of marriage, . * The oka is equal to two pounds and four-fifths. 1, The qui4.tal weighs about. 44 okay. . merely to promote the pecuniary interests of families. The discipline of the Greek Church of Wa lachia on this point is very loose. Mr. *Wilkin son saw several extraordinary instances of it, from which we extract one :—A - young couple had 'married from inclination : it was quite a wonder, and the whole town did nothing but talk of this singular-union ; however, at-the ex piration of a few months, the llushand- was at tacked by a pulmonary complaint, and was ad vised by his physicians to leave the place for a short time, and to travel ; the parting scene was heart-rending, and a tender and sentimental cor respondence was for a , short time carried on, but soon the letters of the wife became very scarce, and the enamoured husband _flies back on the wings of love from Vienna to Bucharest. What a fate awaited him.! , His solitary dwelling .had lost its mistress, and a cold message informs Win that his wife is applying for a divorce: he enters his house in a fury, and makes every inquiry to find out his rival ; but there was no rival, the young and chaste spouse had only listened to the prudent advice of her parents, who had found an opportunity of marrying her again in a more ad vantageous manner, so as to bring a large fortune into their family. The husband in despair ap peals to th e l aws , the ; Government, and the Church, but all in vain; the marriacre is declared null and void. S uc h i s th e astonishing tale re lated by Mr. Wilkinson., We wish there was no truth in it, for it displays greater depravity than libertinism, and more criminality than infi delity; yet it exhibits nothing but the natural result-of the 'facility -with which divorces are granted. Mr. Wilkinson, .after giving a most elaborate account of the Statistics of these provinces, then enters into some political specglations. He pro poses, that Walachia shall be given to Austria, and Moldavia to Russia, in the hope of preserv ing Turkey from the attacks of the power she has most to dread ; but a single glance over the map shews that there would still remain a point of contact between the empire of- the Czars and that of the Sultans; the small district of the Tartar-Dubroudges, with the isles at the north of the Danube, ought to share the fate of Walachia; to complete the system of Mr. Wilkinson. But, on the other hand, how is the Porte to be con vinced of the expediency of these new boundaries? Who will indemnify the imperial treasury for the loss of the miri from Walachia ? and..who wilt furnish the CaptainLcook of the Sanissaries'with mutton chops ? The appendix on the Nizam-y-Dgedid, or the new regiments of Turkish infantry, formed by Selim 111, afterwards reduced, and re-organized in 1817, is very - interesting. His Excellency Tchlebi Effendi, the author of this:memoir, would not be out of his•place in the. most polished di. plomatic circle, nor would -he be at all ernbaras. sed at a Congress ; but he displays, when neces. sary, some indications of Mussulman energy. Ile addressed the following parable to the Janissaries, the enemies of the new militia : 6 4 Souleyman el Kanouny is admitted by all to have been a great Monarch : he formed the illustrious corps of Janis saries, but he found many opposers and censors. They exclaimed in the coffee and sherbet houses that this institution was an innovation and a vio lation of old customs. How did he act to.restore tranquillity ? You know it well : he- ordered the malcontents to be seized, directing the -tongues of the spo.kesmen to .be cut Out, and con demning the listners*. t o lose their ears. From . that time no person found fault with the institu tion of the Janissaries*. In order that the same effect may attend the Nizam-y-Dgedid, it is ad visable that the Sultan should folloW the-example of the glorious Souleyrnan-el-Kanouny." - The translator of Mr. Wilkinson's work gives a very complete and accurate_ account of the ar ticles of the treaties which establish the right of Russia to interfere-in the affairs of - Walachia and Moldavia. These kinds of stipulations are al ways followed by serious evils. Those which have reference to the two Principalities, being guaranteed only by . the two contracting parties, a disagreement between these two guarantees naturally Produces a war. If it is absolutely necessary to enter into these embarrassing and precarious arrangements, the. introduction of a third power as an arbiter seems pointed out by common sense; and this third power and arbiter can only* be Austria, because there is no other neighbour since the diSmemberment of Poland. The name of Austria is held in great. venera tion at Bucharest; the Boyars frequently visit Vienna, and more than a million Walachian pea sants live free and happy under the Austrian Sceptre .in Transylvania and the Bannat of Temeswar. It is in the Austrian States, also, that works have appeared for the purpose of dif fusing a knowledge of the Walachian language, or, as the natives love to call it, the Daco-Roman. The learned and indefatigable Jesuit He rvas i s one of the first who remared that this language deserved the notice of philologists, as. being the eldest daughter-of the Latin. Thumnann, in his researches respeCtio . „o. the Eastern nations of Europe, has treated on the koutzo-Walachian dialect, spoken in- Thrace and Macedonia ; this dialect *appears to have adopted many Albanian words. Constantin Rosha published at Pesth in Hungary in 1808, his inquiries relative to the ditie)-ent tribes of Roinanirins;commonly called Walachjank;, south of the, Danube ; these rem nants of the Latin. colonies extend as far -as Epirus: • A Dacia-Roman grammar, by Sinkay, .appeared at Festh in 1805; it shews the transfor- J : RICE SEVEN ENCE. =Lion of Latin words,by the Walachians, whilst the four Latin conjugations haye been retained. In 1812, a dissertation in the Walachian lan guage on the o r i g i n o f th e R omans of Dacia. was published at Buda, in Hungary, in which the author; Mr. Mayor; maintains that the Walachians descend without any intermixture from the - Roman colonists ; this is, iu my opinion, carrying. his patriotic zeal a little too far. Mr. Vatter, in. his Collection of Languages (Leipsic, 1816), pub-, fished some specimens of an Italian p oem ; trans lated into Walachian; word for word; in which only words di purely Latin roots were used.— Lastly, a dictionary of this languag e h as b een recently printed in. Hungary, compiled from va rious manuscript vocabularies. We are, therefore; ' beginning to poiSess the means of studying the history of the foundation of a langtidp derived from the Latin, and which bad its birth in the earliest Ages of the Christian wra : this is evi dently a study which sound criticism*" dernands from those who; - like M. Raynouard and M. Schlegel, are desirous of writing on the origin of the Romanvulgar tongue in th e m iddl e ages,— the source of the Italian, the Provencal, Lim-. cousin, French, Castillian, and 'Portuguese : all these researches are connected with the history of the Daco-ROman idiom, as with a first link. REMARKABLE AFFAIR.---All article from Vienna of the 19th. August contains the particulars of 'a , very remarkable affair, which took place near the convent of Statina, between the Greeks and the Turks, to the great disadvantage.of the lat ter. The. Convent, inhabited by only- seven' Greek monks, is surrounded by a very high wall. Ninety-seven Greeks, under the orders of a. Servian Captain _of their own choice, had throWn . themselves into the Convent, where they were: attacked on the 21st July by 1,500 Turks, un der the orders of a Bimbacha (chief of 1000 men),' to - Whom three - Jews acted as guides: The Greeks placed behind the 'battlements the - most expert marksmen, to Whom' the rest 'supplied loaded 'muskets without 'ceasing... In' the mean while the JeWs set fire to baskets of corn which were placed near the wall, and the Wind soon. spread the flames into the Court of the Convent, and the Convent being constructed of wood, was, soon consumed. The Greeks, however, did not, relax in their defence. In the wall of the Con-. vent there was a small old door which was not_ observable from the outside, and throuzh which, one of the monks escaped:: The Turks seeing this aperture, penetrated by it into the Court.— The Chief then collected his followers into the chapel, and barricadoed the door, while an incessant fire was kept up from the roof, which was partially enveloped in flames; but all who remained in the court were overpowered and put to the sword. The Bimbacha then summoned the Greeks to surrender, promising a pardon, Which was rejected with disdain ; at the same instant a ball from the roof laid the Bimbacha dead on the spot. A Turk immediately cut off his head, and - carefully wrapped it in-a piece of'_ cloth, to shew that he had fallen in battle. Meanwhile, the flames, which gradually spread over the roof of the chapel, forced the .Greeks to come down. The Turks entered the chapel they fought round the high altar, and the Greets continued their fire with such effect' that 'the' Mussulmans demanded an armistice, which was only granted them on condition of instantly re- , tiring. The Turks lost 372. killed, and 13 wounded. The seven monks were killed. The ' Three Israelite guides fell into the hands of the . Greeks, who nailed them to the cross, after having torn their skin from their bodies, and sub jected them to other cruelties. 'The 80 victo rious Greeks, after having laid dOwn their arms, passed the frontier of the Bukowina, and were sent by an-officer of the Austrian guard to Bo zance, where they fortunately arrived on the 28th of July. . . ' FRIGHTFUL EVENT.—The conversation of all Paris turns on a frightful event which took place two days since at the house of M. M. Mouttier, a money-changer, in the street de la Feuillade. At a late hour of the evening, a person Who it has been since ascertained had just left a gam bling-house, where he had lost all his property, entered the house. There was only a young female servant at the counter. Madame Mouttier and her nephew were in the back shop. The man, when he entered, closed the door, stabbed the servant. with a poniard, and seized a basket full of gold. Madame Mouttier and her nephew rushed for ward, and were both stabbed by the assassin, who escaped from the house and reached- the street de la Vrilliere. Two young men endea. vouring to seize the miscreant, were both wound ed, one of them dangerously. An old man, who was going quietly along, was also stabbed by the furious wretch. • lie was at length seized by, apatrol of gendarmes; but even in the moment of his arrest, he made an ineffectual attempt to wound one .of the military. He was conducted to the guard-house at the Bank, but he had hardly entered, when he suddenly drew a pistol from his pocket and blew out his brains. 'No thing was found on his person which might lead to a. discovery of the monster.—(Constitutiohncl.) —The Moniteur states, that three of the persons wounded- are since dead, and it is feared two.'"_ others will not survive.
