solicitude for the prosperity of Moldavia, has fixed by an
Imperial Fir Man the forniation of the Divan ad hoc which
is summoned to express the wishes of the pnOulation on
the revision and amelioration of the interior regulations of
this principality. Charged by the Sublime Porte to hand
to your Excellency this Imperial Firman of our august
master, I presume to hope that the faithful Moldavians
will. as ever, find in it the paternal sentiments of the
Government of His Imperial Majesty, and that pene-
trated with the importance of the act which they are
about to accomplish, they will proceed to the elections of
which this firman regulates the form with the tran-
quility and moderation which the Sublime Porte has a
right to expect from them.
His Excellency the Prince Kaimakan next
expressed his gratitude and that of the country in
these terms :
" 1 pray your Excellency to be pleased to lay at the feet
of His Imperial Majesty the Sultan the homage of the
profound gratitude of the country for his constant and
paternal solicitude in favour of, the destinies of Moldavia.
The neN favour by which His imperial Majesty at present
wishes to manifest his magnanimous sentiments is the more
valuable as we see in it the pledge of the preservation of our
privileges and immunities granted ab anrquo to this
principality. My country will hold itself at the elevation
of the important act it is called on to accomplish by
proceeding to the prescribed elections with perfect tran-
quillity and moderation. We all address fervent prayers
to Heaven that it may deign to preserve the precious life of
his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, and to render his Empire
More Powerful and more glorious than ever. We are happy.
at the choice . which the Sublime Porte has made in the
person of you Excellency to bring us this Imperial Firman,
which opens to Moldavia a new era of prosperity. We
thank you, myself and my countrymen, for the etre you
have taken in this mission, and we regard your arrival
among us as a fortunate omen for the future.
This act, of the highest importance for the coun-
try. was greeted with the enthusiastic acciarnation
of all present. While the firman was being read

The last detachments of the Imperial Austrian

A letter from Bucharest, of the 14th inst., states

For some time previous the censors of the press
were less severe. Two journals had been created

of them, the Concordia, edited by M. Creztulescon,
espouses the cause of the constitutional liberals
For want of great electoral meetings there are
political clubs established in several private houses.
The Government, which sees these manifestations
of public opinion declare thenieelvee on all sides,
' finds no pretence for suppressing them. The
union appears to be the favourite topic, and it is
said that no candidates will be supported but those
who pledge themselves to introduce and support
the question in the Assembly.
The Imperial Court will remove to Fontainbleau
on the let of May, in order to receive the Archduke
Constantine. The reason assigned for this tem-
porary removal is, that the Emperor wishes to
keep the Archduke from showing his eccentricities
in public, and probably from getting into scrapes,
for he is said to be eccentric. His Highness may
run about the woods of Fontainbleau as much as
ho pleases, but it is considered prudent to keep
him out of the reach of the Charivari. This is
the reason assigned by people who profess to know
a good deal about the Court.,
