TILE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

BUCHAREST, Dric. 26.
I have just had an, opportunity, at the house of
a friend of mine, who has lately returned from a
business journey through all the principal planes of
Wallachia, *of inspecting. a number of authentic
documents, which he had received frem,the autho-
rities of various towns, who parted with them most
readily, _ seeing that no obligation to secrecy is im-
'poSed on the Government 'employes in Wallachia
with regard to notorious facts ' that have taken
place before everybody's eyes ; moreover, there
exists but one feeling of indignation in Wallachia
that the complaints of all the inhabitants and all
the constituted authorities as to the conduct of
the Austrian soldiery meet with no attention, and
nothing like punishment ensues with a view to
prevention for the future. I send you herewith an
extract of some of the reports of the local authori-
ties. As they extend over a considerable space of
time, and over nearly the whole of Wallachia, they
afford an interesting proof how, alas ! only too true
those descriptions in the press have been that have
represented the discipline and the. conduct of the
Austrian soldiery, at all times and in all places,
from the time of their entry until now, as extremely
defectivennd lamentable. On the same occasion
`I
saw a list" of all the murders ,of inhabitants of
Wallachia and Moldavia, which, as is shown by
official documents; have been Commi ted by Aus-
trian soldiery, with the names and dates attached,
together with reference to the reports containing
the facts. If the course hitherto pursued of deny-
ing the truth of notorious facts be still continued,
instead of the persons in authority insisting upon
stricter discipline tieing observed, it is already re-
solved on to publish this other list. We should,
on the other hand, be curious to see a list of any
real and corresponding punishments that have been
.inflicted in consequence. Nobody in all Wallachia,
knows of a single instance of an exemplary punish-
ment, and yet it would have been only politic, had
any such taken place, to give it-the greatest amount
of publicity possible, so that men's, naiads might
have been tranquillised on this point—viz., that
perfect impunity is not assured to the culprits.
The following is the extract I have made from the
above-mentioned collection :

BUCHAREST.
An Austrian sub-officer, in a state of drunkenness,
thrust himself, Oct. 2, 1854, with his sabre in his hand,
into the rooms appropriated to the Turkish regimental
band, and, to judge by his threats and his gestures,
would have wounded various penile if those present had
not succeeded in delivering him in custody to the guard.
A police employe reported, Nov. ,-3.854, that an Aus-
trian soldier had broken open the door of the house of as
inhabitant, and, sabre in hand, had searched for some-
body whom he was unable to find. A gendarme, who
was coming out of this house, received from this soldier,
as he was entering, a sabre wound over his eye, of so
grave a nature that he was obliged to be taken to the
hospital.
The Austrian Corporal Skala, of the Lancer regiment
Pfinyerail, committed an assault on the Bojar Paul
Siefatieske, and thereby inflicted on him such severe
blows with a cudgel that he was left half dead. The
Bojar's life was fortunately saved by a number of per-
sons rushing to his rescue.
All the proprietors of vineyards in Colontina have
,ent in their complaints against the Austrian military
that they destroy their vineyards, steal their grapes and
other fruits, fire their pistols at the vinedressers and
other servants when they venture to remonstrate with
them, and even wound them with their sabres.
The Yellow Commission (local board), in et report
dated Feb. 13, 1855, informed the police of Bucharest
that an Austrian corporal, who had been drinking beer
and spirits at the shop of the Serdar Anastasius Gazoti,
in the faubonrg Raatranoul, instead of paying his reck-
oning, drew his sabre and wounded the landlord Joseph,
who required payment of him. His wife was treated in
the same way, on coming to We help. Nobody could
prevent him, for he defended himself with his sabre until
he left the shop.
The srme board reports on the 7th of Nfay, 1855, to
the Bucharest police that an Austrian soldier has run
through with his sword a certain Nedeiko, aubergiste in
the faubourg Batista, from whicia'wound ha died the
following day. A. 'Nigel) belonging to T. Floresco, wino
Wis present, and endeavoured to come to the assistance
of the aubergiste, was also wounded by the soldier.
DISTRICT ILEOV.
Some Austrian 'soldiers were marching-towards Bolin.
tinow die Vale, on their road to Bucharest, on the 30th
of Sept., 1854. After everything had been supplied-to
theta that they required, one of then, wont to the auber•
giste of the village, Basile Basilion, and used threats to
his servants. The latter took to their heels on seeing him
draw.his sabre. He, however, pursued one of them,
and gave him two cuts over the head with his sabre, be-
sides various wounds on the arm, after which the soldier
made off. A strict investigation was made into the
matter, which corroborated the above stuement, but
nothing has been ever done to the soldier to punish hint
for the violence committed on the person of the servant.
The sub-prefecture of Suagovu reports to the prefec•
ture of Bucharest, under 'date of September 22, 1854,
that the Austrian soldiery during their march throng h
that district are committing a number of acts of uncon-
trolled excess, carrying off the oxen and the carts, rob-
bing the landed proprietors, and taking from the inha-
bitants anything and everything they take a fancy to.
Another report of the court of justice iu the village
of Dregonureschti, sent into the prefecture of Bucha-
rest, dated September 29, 1854, states that four Au.-
trian soldiers cams into the tavern there, and, after hav-
ing eaten and drunk there without paying, began to
maltreat an ecclesiastic present, in the expectation that
the rest of the priests would be by this conduct com-
pelled to leave the premises. But when they saw that
this trick did not succeed, and that only the priest with-
drew, they went out after him and caught him up just
in front of his own house, His brother and sister-in-law
rushed out to his assistanre on hearing his cries for help ;
his brother was killed on the spot, and the other per-
sons who took his part severely beaten.
The inhabitants of Buniassa made a oomplaint in Ja-
uary, 1855, to the prefecture in Bucharest, that the
Austrian soldiers, in spite of the severe frost, turned
them out of their houses, and their cattle out of their
stalls ; that they were eourtantly requiring of them an
unreasonable amount of service and waiting on, which
perfectly prevented theta from earning their own
liveli-
hood; that already, in consequence of this r ,ugh treat-
ment, a great number of their cattle had died, and in
many other respects they had received considerable da-
mage.
To the same effect is also a complaint sent in by the
sub-prefecture of Snagovu.
Johann Stefanisko, residing in the neighbourhood of
Bucharest, complains that Austrian soldiers quartered
in Colontina have destroyed his whole vineyard, have
demolished hie fruit trees, and buret all his casks. On
the head gardener's remonstrating with them they gave
him several cuts with sabres on his head. The grapes
which the soldiers ate were still green, and the proprietor
has not been able as yet to obtain any indemnification.
