THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

The following address from Prince Charles ap-
pears in the Voice of Roumania.:
Roumains,—The destiny of man presents no nobler ob-
ject than that of being called on to maintain the rights of
a nation and to consolidate its liberties. A mission of
such high importance has influenced me to give up an in-
dependent position, to resign unhesitatingly my
family and my country, to which I was at-
tached by the most sacred ties and souvenirs,''
and to comply with your appeal to me. The acceptation
of the plebiscite which has placed on my head the crown Of
Stephen the Great and of Michael the Brave, imposes on
me great responsibility ; but, with the help of God and by
entire devotion to duty, I hope to be able to secure for my
new country an eaiatence at once prosperous and worthy
of its past history. Rouniains, I am with you heart and
soul. You may at all times reckon on me as I rely upon
you.
