We read in the Messager :—" It is in c antempla-
tion to prorogue the National Assembly :from the
25th of August to the 25th of Septembnr. Our
representatives would thus have a month 's vaca-
tion preparatory to the discussion on the Con-
stitution, which cannot well commence before
the Ist of October, in consequence of th(a labours
imposed on the Committee for the introduction
of the votes come to in the late conferences.. It has
besides been considered that, as the Assernbl3 must sit
permanently from the tat of October until the ,constitu-
tion shall have been voted, it was proper to allow the
members a vacation at the moment of the ha rvest and
the vacations of the law courts. The bureau, however,
will remain constituted, so that the Assembl y may be
called together in a few days, if circumstanc es should
imperatively require it. The Presidency of 11. MAR-
RAST will expire before the day of the prorogation of
the Assembly. According to all appear ante, M.
MARRAST will be re-elected, and the honour of this
re-election will be the more precious, as up to the
present time no President of the National Al ssembly
has held the post more than one month."

WALL ACHIA.
The Augsburg Gazette of the 27th inst. has the
following:—

" BUCHAREST, JLZLY 13.
"Instead of the Russians we have once 'a iore the
Provisional Government amongst us. It was ascer-
tained yesterday that the reports wl Lich had
been spread and several dispatches were false.
Thanks to the propaganda cf the yoicrug men
who had not fled, the whole of the people I rove risen
again. This time the merchants have also pro-
nounced themselves in favour of the n tovement.
The whole of the population proceeded. to the
residence of the Metropolitan, whom they com-
pelled to kneel and swear on the Bibles that he
would tell the truth. He at length ow-ned that
the spurious dispatches had been fabric*Aed by
his order. The Kaimakan was dismissed.., and a
courier was sent to the Provisional Government,
to request them to return to Bucharest. Negotia-
tions were opened with ODOBESCO and SoLOMON.
The former is favourable to the c,:use of the people,
but he requires that TELL and MAGGIEEO, the two
roost energetic members of the Provisional Govern-
ment should retire. The city is quiet ; som a houses,
however, were sacked : amongst these were tlai: houses
of the late Minister of Finance, GERESCO, autl of the
Metropolitan's secretary.
" Accounts from the frontiers of Wallacha:, of the
18th instant, state that the Russians, after leaving
4,000 men at Jassy, were advancing through Walla-
chia without encountering any resistance:: 3,000
men were marching to Krasowa. Prince :BIDES-CO
was expected."
