LONDON. SATURDAY. AUGUST 26.

IT appears that in oonaequenoe of an insurrec-
tion of fruit-vendors and market women at

Bucharest, the Government of Wallachia has
thought fit, in right Imperial style, to make •
general sweep of all obnoxious political characters,
and consign them promiscuously to prison. Ac-
cording to the published reports of the insurrection,
it originated ins police order forbidding the sale of
vegetables. A similar order had nearly produced
similar consequences at Constantinople, and in the
villages on the Bosphorus, where the visitation of
the cholera was certainly aggravated by the pre-
cautions of the police. There are, however, no
. . . .

political parties at Constantinople, and no pretext,
consequently, for cramming intelligent and studious

men into prison.
Not so at Bucharest. There journalism exists,
and people discuss, as far as they are allowed, the
merits and demerits of the Panics and of his Go-
vernment. Inquisitive persons, who devote them-
selves to such • task, are naturally disliked by

military despotisms. It is silly enough in such
governments to enact severe laws to restrict and
punish the right and practice of discuuing public
questions. But to suppose journalists necessarily
conspirators and accomplices of every riot is the

very rage of folly.
The conductors of the popular Wallachian journal
which has been suppressed were deputies to the
old constitutional Chamber and chiefs of the
Liberal opposition, and, apparently, the last men
in Wallachia to &airy or favour a popular In• I
snrrection conducted against their present ruler,
however unable or unwilling they may be to ad-
mire him. They know full well that even the
success of such an insurrection could merely lead
t, the military occupation of the Principslitiei
by Turkey in the first instance, and very
probably by Austrian and Russian masters after-
wards. No good could come thence—no good, at
least, in liberal and patriotic eyes. For this, as
well as for other reasons, it may be fairly supposed
that these suppressed editors were no more the
abettors of the Bucharest emente than they were of
the cholera itself.

But although the patriots of the Principalities
have nothing to hope and much to deprecate in
a popular insurrection, there is another powerful
party that has large hopes and no scruples. This
is the faction of the old %yards, of old and
ex-Hospodant, of old and ex-Ministers. What
these reactionista most desire is a popular insurrec-
tion, and the more excesses it commits the better.
For an insurrection would be the pretext for the
consummation which they most ardently desire—a
Turkish and an Austrian occupation. This, they feel
convinced, would get rid of all that was obnoxious,
Hospodar COUZA himself to begin with, and then
the Union and the two constitutions. The old
times and the old organization, the annulment of
the serf-emancipation law, the re-installation of
Russian influence—these are the aims of the aris-
tocratic party. And of this party would certainly
be found any factious instigators of the late move-
meat, not of the Liberal party, which effected the
union, and which hoped to have secured the free-
dom of the Principalities.
We are far, however, from considering the con-
duct of the ht.ldo-Wallachian Liberals as free
from blame. They committed great errors, the
greatest of all being the parliamentary alliance they
formed with the Boyard and aristocratic faction in
the old Chamber, for the purpose of embarrassing
the Government. They embarrassed it no
doubt, but equally hurt themselves. They
drove Prince awzs to his coup-d'etat, since which
the Liberals have seen Boyard after Boyard
rally to the new Government, and even take
place and office under it, the more inveterate
followers of the old Hospodars and the old system
alone remaining apart to hatch conspiracies and
take advantage of disturbances.
We have more than once expressed an opinion
of the present Ilospoomes coup•critat. It was,how-
ever—in form, at least--an appeal to the people,
and endowed the people, by means of the suffrage,
with the power of remedying whatever was absolute
or arbitrary. A Government founded on universal
suffrage may turn this to its peculiar profit
by means of a powerful church, an Omni-
present body of administrators, and an over-
whelming army. The Emperor Narotzoir pos-
sesses all these, and yet even his government finds,
we see, its authority disputed and set aside in
municipal and parliamentary elections. In the first
bent of gratitude for the abolition of feudal imposts
and the admission of his rights to a portion of the
soil, the Moldo-Wallachian peasant gave his vote
to the partisans of Prince Corz.t and hie new
system. Gratitude, however, wears out as a mo-
tive, whilst a sense of public and private interests
permanently endures. And the liberals of the
Principalities have but to wait in order to be
assured of their due, if not predominant in-
fluence iu public aasembliee. The BOBPODAR
of these countries has no overwhelming
army, no influential church, no multitudes of
civilian anplovis to support him. Moldo-Walls-
cilia is in substance a republic, without dis-
tinction of ranks. With cnmmerce, and railroads,
and education, the industrious clam will every
