THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

BUCHAREST, Duo. 10.
Scarcely has the affair of Alexander Fiercer* a
little subsided when another scandalous transaction
is exposed. It appears that the men of the Walla-
chian fire brigade a few days ago revolted against'
their commander, Major Baltanu, but were disarmed
land placed under arrest. During the investigation of
the tees that ensued, it came out that be had com-
mitted numerous frauds and other abuses, amongst
which " cheating the men of their pay" was one of
the charges. When one considers that the pay of a
private in the Walachian fire-brigade is only six
*eras, or a shilling sterling. monthly (with free
lard), it is difficult to conceive the possibility of
'beating them out of much. But other abuses of a
asendalous nature were proved against the major,
amongst which that he had given orders to have the
yaps of square building-stones lying before the
shank of fit. George, and belonging to the govern-
meat, to be removed and 'lasted awey, having sold
them for his own private account. Also that be had
turned the barracks into a regular tavern, open to the
public, and had a large Intelsat in the profit on the
sale of liquors there. It is said that the government
wished to get rid of Major Balianu, and secretly
heated the revolt which led to the exposure of these
ahem.
The great flectuatioes that daily take place is
the pace of gold coins have induced the government'
to publish a tariff of the flied prices of the principal
foreign gold coins in circulation in the Principality.
We learn from Belgrade that Mr. Fooblanque, the
British CoosalatineraL has received orders „by the
telegraph from Lord Clamed= to repair to Vienna.
As this gentleman has resided there for 14 years, and
is consequently intimately acquainted with the cus-
toms, character, and requirements of the people, it is
mom than probable that he will be required to give
hilermation connected with the revision of the Servian
esnetitntioa. Is consequent' of the extreme severity
of the frost, which has set in so soddenly, and Inter-
rupted the steam navigation on the Danube, Mr.
&abbacies has put off his journey for the present.
