DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

TREATY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE
PORTE.
The treaty between Russia and Turkey, respt wing
the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, and
Which is published in the Bur-Aorta Zeitung of the
6th. is is follows :
Their Majesties the Emperor and Autocrat of Rus-
sia and the Pad shah of the Ottomsns, animated by
the sane desire to procure the welfare of the princi-
palities of Moldavia acd Wallachia, and faithful to
their f Tater promises, which bestow upon these coun-
tries a separate administration, and many other pi ivi-
lege,. have arrived at the persuasion that, conse-
quence of the disturbances which have thr iwn into
disorder these provinces, and particularly Wallachia, it
is necessary, proceeding in complete harm: ry of un-
derstanding, to edopt extraordinary and effectual
measures in order to protect the rights and privileges
bestowed upon them, as well against revolutionary
and anare.ic attempts as against the abuse of power,
which impedes the sway of tha laws, and has robbed
the peaceable inhabitants of the benefits which were
secured to them by the treaties concluded between
Russia and the Porte.

Accordingly both the high powers have settled as
follows :
1. That in consequence of the exceptional circumstances
which have bees introduced by latter events, the hospodan
of Wallachia and Moldavia will in future be appointed for
seven years by his imperial majesty the Sultan ; that in this
manner the adosinistreti cu of then provinces may be con-
fine' to the most deserving of such a trust, and to such so
enjoy the highest reputation.
2. The organic political structure which was bestowed
upon the principalities in the year 1831, shall remain
in force until the effectuation of such changes as
time and experience have shown to be necessary,
namely, on account of the usual and extraordinary meetings
of the Boyers, which are temporarily suspended. hiring been
more than once the source of lamentable conflic's and open
resistance to the authorities. The high courts no
serve, as a matter of future arrangement between
them, the re-opening of those assemblies, and the
proper time for this measure. In the meantime
their p'see will will be supplied by a divan or cour.eil, con-
sisting of Boyan and some members of the high clergy who
are meat dinning of general confidence. The chief lune:ion
of this divan will be the determination of the taxes and the
examit altos earths yearly budget.
3. In order to introduce the necessary meliorations, and
put a stop to the abuses which hare crept in, two revising
commis ions will be appointed at Bukarest and Jaw, which
are to revise the tt reglement " (that is, the polity bestowed
on the prineipelities in 1831), and propose the neeemary
alterations. The labours of this commission will be exa-
mined by the ministry at Constantin-pie, which will come
to an understanding thereupon with the cabinet of St. Pe-
tersburg. After receiving the suction of both parties the
altimeters to be adopted will be proclaimed under the form
of a hatti-shereef of his Mejesty the Sultan.
4. The disturbances of the preceding year having proved
with sufficient clearness that military forces are necessary to
suppress immediately every inseurrectionavy movement,
both imperial courts have resolved, in order at the
same time to wet the hoyden of the principalities
against every peesserefrom without, to leave only army of oc-
eu; ation in them until complete tranquillity is re-established
on the frontier. When all apprehension is removed of dan-
ger from without, 10,000 men on either side (that ts 10,000
Russian :and 10,000 Turkish soldiers) will remain in bath
provinces until the tranqoillity of the interior is scented,
and the labours of the organic amendment comp'eted.
Then, although the troops of both powers will leave the
principalities, yet they will bold themselves ready vpon the
confines, in esoe Breve oecurrences should r.. quire slmilar
measures. Also ears will be taken so to v.:tenant-a the inland
militia, that by their discipline and effe tire farce they may
afford sufficient security for the maintaasnee of order.
6. During the period of occupation, both high courts will
keep an extraordinary commissioner—either power cae—in
the principalities, who will iirpint their counsel end oninion
to the heepodan, when they rote abuses or sign s menacing
to public tranquillity. The instructions of these coveys will
be deliberated and communicated In common from both cabi-
nets, and thereby their duties and the sort of participc ion will
be indicated to them which they are to take ft; tho concerns
of the country. Both commirsioners will sac come to an
