THE DANUBE PRINCIPALITIES.
The Allgenteine Zeitung publishes the following
State document (&aed) respecting the internal go-
vernment of the Danube Principalities, as agreed upon
between the Sovereign and the Protecting Powers—
namely, Turkey and Russia. It is dated 7 Dsche-
mastel Ahir, 1265.

The Sened consists of seven articles. It is as
follows :

" Their Imperial Highnesses the Emperor and Auto-
crat of Russia, and the Emperor and Padischah of the
Osmans, animated by the same wish for the welfare of
the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, and in
fulfilment of their former promises to concede to
these lands a separate constitution and other privi-
leges, have found in consequence of the recent dis-
turbances in these provinces, but more especially in Wal-
lachia, that it is necessary to take in concert extraordinary
and efficient measures to defend the rights and pri-
vileges conceded to them, as well against revolutionary
and anarchical attempts, as also against the abuse of
power which lames the action of the laws, and deprives
the peaceful inhabitants of the benefits guaranteed to
them by treaties concluded between Russia and the
Porte. In consideration thereof the following has been
decided upon between the two high powers:—
" 1. In consequence of the exceptional circumstances
occasioned by recent events, the Hospodars of Wallachia
and Moldavia are in future to be appointed for the term
of seven years, by his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, that
the Government of the provinces may be thus entrusted
to the most worthy and best reputed person.
" 2. The organic law of the state (Staatsyrundgesetz)
given to the principalities in 1831, is to remain in
vigour until such alterations be made which time
and experience may prove to he advisable,
namely, with respect to the usual and extraordinary
meetings of the Boyards, which are for the time being
suspended, they having been more than once the
cause of regretable conflicts, and open resistance to the
laws. Th high courts reserve to themselves the
proper time for allowing them to bo resumed. They
are, meantime, to be replacsd by a divan, or council,
consisting of Boyards or high ecclesiastical function-
aries, as are most worthy of the public confidence.
The chief duties of this divan will consist in fixing
the taxes and examining the annual budget.
"3. To introduce the required ameliorations, and do
away with the abuses which have insinuated themselves,
two commissions of revision will be appointed to sit,
the one at Bucharest, the other at Jassy, to examine
into the organic law, and propose the necessary alter-
ations. The labours of these commissions will be sub-
mitted to the Ministry at Constantinople, which will
discuss them in common with the Government of St.
Petersburgh. After adoption by both Governments,
the alterations decided upon will be announced in the
form of a hatti-scherif of his Majesty and the Sultan.
" 4. As the disturbances of last year have clearly de-
monstrated that a military force is necessary to suppress
immediately every attempt at insurrection, the two Im-
perial Courts have resolved, at the same time with a view
to protect the frontiers of the principalities from any
attacks from without, to keep an army of 25,000 to
35,000 men in the same, until tranquillity is perfectly
restored on the frontiers. When no more fears are
entertained from without, 10,000 men will remain on
either side until internal peace is guaranteed, and the
labours of the revision of the constitution are terminated;
the troops of the two powers will then evacuate the
principalities, but remain close at hand to be ready to
re-enter them, should events occur to render such a step
necessary. The national militia will also be re-organized
and disciplined, so as to render it an efficient force
capable of maintaining tranquillity.
" 5. During the joint Occupation each Court will have
an extraordinary commissary in the principalities, whose
duty it will be to give counsel and advice to the Hospo-
dare in case they should discover abuses, or anything of
a nature to endanger the public tranquillity. The in-
structions given to those commissaries will emanate from
the joint deliberation of the two Courts, defining their
duties and the part they have to take in the affairs of
the country. Both commissaries are to come to an un-
derstandiog respecting the election of the members of the
commission for the revision of the organic law, and to
send in a report to their respective Governments.
" G. The duration of the present agreement is fixed at
seven years, after the lapse of which the two high courts
reserve to themselves, with regard to the state of the
principalities may then be in, to take such further mea-
sures as they may deem necessary to procure durable
welfare and peace to these provinces.
"7. It is understood that the present act, which has been
called fur by exceptional circumstances, and for a defined
period only, will in no wise affect existing stipulations
between the two courts respecting Moldavia and Wal-
lachia, or former treaties, no less than the special treaty
of Adrianople, but the same remain all in full vigour and

adopted by the SULTAN.
