FRONTIERS. OF MOLDAVIA, DEC. 27.--Since the ac-
counts communicated on the 4th inst. respectinc, the situa-
tion of Moldavia, and the banishment of the three great
Boyars, very little alteration has taken place ; and it plaY
be said, that the discontent which was at first confined t°,
some families of Boyars, has now extended to the inhab'
tants of almost all the towns, and especially of the- capital.
After the order of banishment against the great Boyars,
Constantine Stourdza and Ghika, a cousin of the Prine°,,,
of Wallachia, who had declared that Prince .Stourdza did
did not govern according to the principles of the organic
statute ; and by the purchase of so many estates and forests+
which after his death cvnuld be lost to the public, and become
the private property of his gamily, was only preparing ruin for
the state, and by such separation rendering the country
hereditary in his family, the Archbishop of Jassy foresee'
ing the consequences of this banishment, on account of the
numerous adherents that these Boyars have in the country,
hastened to the Palace of the Prince, and conjured him to
recal the sentence. The Boyars, however, did not think
fit to wait for the result of this step ; but left Jassy, declar
ing at the same time that they should wait with patience
for further orders from Constantinople. It is affirmed tho
they at the same time presented a memorial to M. Von
Lackmann, the Russian Consul-General, which, if its con'
tents are such as they are affirmed to, be, is- likely to
cause a great sensation at St. Petersburgh. It is also
known from other quarters that the Boyars and the
discontented persons in general rely on the well know°,
love of justice, and the accurate knowledge of the state al
the two principalities possessed by Gen. Kisseloff, in which
all hopes are placed. Meantime Prince Stourdza, who ling
unquestionably rendered services to the country, is in as
most critical situation, and what is probably the most dig'
tressing to him is, that the discontent has proceeded from
the aristocracy of the country, which has latter!y sought
to isolate itself from bite. A•letter from Jassy of 26th
December, says—" We are looking forward for naelaneholY
tidings, and a far more melancholy carnivikl. Many faini-
lies of Boyars, with the exception of those whose duties
retain them at Court, or who hold public offices, have re'
tired to their estates since the late events. The streets
are deserted, and the shops are without customer's."
This letter contains besides, other expressions wbich we
have no mind to repeat. It is too absurd to say that
great power is at the bottom of all these intrigues, the ugh
it is that very power that restored order and 'tranquillity
in these Principalities.—Frankhrt Papers, Jan. 17.
MUNICH, JAN. B.—The Bavarian National. Gazette, it 1
well-conducted paper, has a letter from Athens, dated 501
December, of which the following is an extract :
Though we have very fine autumn weather in and
about Athens, the malignant fevers, and still more malig'
nant dysenteries, do not cease. The number of sick, act
cording to other accounts of the same date, is estimated e
2,000, many of whom were affected with nervous fever* •
One of the victims ,is the much-esteemed Warden of the
Mint, M. Oexlc, from Pforzheim. The police of this city
is endeavouring to answer the many censures of it 3
genee by useful measures. Fifty-two lamps, very few in-
deed for the extent oftthhee scAultrirrho,eunnnsociw throw light on the
striking newly-erectedcon contrast
a st buildingsith in
inug,hireuihn. msakene a, mostcorr
tract is made for six months for 4,300 drachms. Pave-
ment is now laying -down before several houses, and the
Government has hired for 20,000 drachms apartments for
all the offices connected with the army and navy. The
literature of Greece, which has been sunk in a death-like
lethargy, has at length again given signs of life."
M. Pitakis has printed a work, by the title of " Ancient,
Athens, or a Description of the Antiquities of Athens-
Of the works that have been published relative to Greco,
which are not a few since the foundation of the new king'
dom, that which is still most approved is that of " Thiersch
on the present State of Greece ;" and it is affirmed that a
diligent study of that work would be highly useful to all
the officers of Government, though these very officers assert
the contrary. Tittle must decide who is in the right. Thig
contradiction may, perhaps, be best explained by the cif"
cumstance, that in the work in question n system of legislof
tion and administration for Greece is deduced from the-. -
former state of the nation, and made to harmonize with its
manners and wishes, whereas the foreign regents, conform'
ably to their own views and education, have introduced a.;
European order and administration contrary to that systeab
and the officers acting under it can, of course, derive little
advantage from a work resting on a very different basis,,
and must even consider it as a kind of tacit opposition.-""
