THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

BUCHAREST, MAT 24.
The Austrians appeared to temper their brutality
for a short time after the proclamation of martial
law in the Principalities—doubtless to ameriage the

irritation caused brythis law, which holds death in 1
suspense over all oar heads. However, after the lapse
of eight short days, they have recommenced their'
brigandage and aasessioations with more audacity
than ever. I confine myself to a notice of their',
assassinations in this town of Bucharest only, in the
course of yesterday and the day before, to give you
some idea of their proceedings. The day before yes-
terday they murdered a (male) cook and the eon of
priest Nedeles, of the pariah of Batialiele. The same
day four other persons were killed by them at the
fair of Moschi, outside the gates of the town. Yes-
terday another murder was committed at the
barriers of Tesana. The Austrian government
would seem to regard these crimes as merely
a guarantee for the preservation of " law and
order," which it affects to re-establish in the
Principalities; for the only punishment inflicted
on the guilty is to send them back to Austria to
serve in other regiments. Count Coeonini lately
caused twenty unoffendiog Hungarians, who believed
themselves in security here, to be loaded with chains
and conducted into the Austrian states. One of
them—an artist, a painter—died of the torture in
this town. A few days ago the Austrians burned
and destroyed, in the garden of Bcoufa—before the
barriers: of Bucharest—several thousand muskets,
which had been taken from the rural population, and
deposited in one of the magazines of the capital.
Thus Austria is permitted to destroy the arms of a
people ardently desirous to fight against Russia on
the side of the allies, and to replace them by her own
bayonets, which, in the Principalities, have hitherto
only served to protect the Russians towards the
Pruth, and which may soon, perhaps, be turned
against Turkey and the allies.

Tits &result SUPPLY Quasnoff.—lt appears by
private letters from Odessa, of the 31et ult., that the occu-
pation of the Bea of Asoff by the allies was known there at
that date, and bad sassed great utility, although none of
the details had transpired. Many firms at Odeon, who
have kept up commercial relations with the west towns of
the Sea of Moil, saw is the suet the ruin of their hods.
At Rostov, seer the mouth of the Don, the demand !or
oats for the Russian revelry had greatly enhanced the price,
onto* the 13th of May a contract was taken by several it-
habitatts of Roetow to supply 60,000 ebetwerts (100 abet.
