THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A telegraphic despatch lately received spoke is
obscure terms of a firman relative to the national
representation of the Danubian provinces. It was
probably to the following article of the Journal de
Constantinople that the despatch alluded :—" If
we are well-informed, the firman for the convoca-
tion of the divans charged to express the wishes of
the Moldo-Wallachian populations on the organisa-
tion of the Principalities has been handed over by
the Sublime Porte to the representatives of the
powers that signed the treaty of Paris, and it is said
that conferences having for their object to come to
an understanding on the enactments of the firman
are about to be held at the residence of the grand
vizier. In these conferences Turkey is to be re-
presented by Aali Pacha and Fuad Pacha, England
by Lord Stratford de Redchtle, Austria by Baron
de Prokesch-Osten, France by M. Thouvenci,
Prussia by M. de Wildenbruck, Russia by Baron
de Boutemeff, and Sardinia by Commander do
Rossi."

A letter from Berlin in the German Journal of
Frankfort says:—" It is probable that the evacua"
tion of the Danubian Principalities will give riot;
i
to grave debates. It is asserted that a note
1:".
Count Walewski has been received at Vienna, n
which it is openly stated that the continued oee'l-
pation by Austria is in flagrant contradiction
with the stipulations of the treaty of Paris. We learn
that at Vienna no readiness is displayed to evactl
ate the provinces. This question
will be decided
:
by the Congress of Paris, and Austria will pr°
bably be compelled to give way."

GREECE.
The Minerva, an Athenian journal, contains the
following interesting paragraph :
, "There was a question between General Kalergis and
the Emperor of the Frdnch at Plombiers concerning the
marriage of Prince Adalbert with the Infanta of Spain. The
general observed that this marriage augmented the difa'
cuiticm of the succession ; because, according to the cow,.
sttution, the next occupier of the throne must be of
the Greek religion. To this the Emperor replied--
' The rights of the Greek nation will not be neglected.
I will see that Bavaria expresses herself without delay,
clearly and categorically, that she accepts the existing
Greek Constitution, and the treaty concluded in LOU
dog between the three contracting Powers which raw
fled the same.' To this the general renlied—t When
my fellow-citizens hear thrise benevolent words I aril
certain, sire, that their gratitude will be doubled towards
your Majesty for having thus explained yourself ou
this important subject.' "

AUSTRIA.
The Augsburg Gazette gives some explanations
1 as to the causes which have retarded the corona-
tion of the Emperor of Austria. "It is well
known," says that journal, " that by an innovation
which results from the fundamental reforms in-
tended to found the political unity of the Austrian
monarchy, the present Emperor will be only
crowned once as Emperor of Austria, instead of
three times, according to the custom of the old
monarchy, as King of Hungary, of Bohemia, and
of Lombardy. At the present time, the period
for the coronation is not yet fixed ; but the delay
solely arises from the fact that the solemnity must
be regulated according to the new provincial
statutes which have not yet been promulgated."

SPAIN.
The Madrid journals of the 12th have arrived in
due course, but being published in the morning
they do not give any account of the late change of
ministry, which was effected in the course of that
day. Upwards of 100 bakers of the capital bad
waited on the constitutional alcades to represent
that they would be obliged to raise the price of
bread ; the civil governor, considering this act a
coalition, caused seven of the more influential
bakers to be arrested, and ordered for trial. The
civil guard had discovered at Lorca a large manu-
factory of false money, seized on upwards of 30,000
implements and materials, and ar-
reals of imitations of gold and silver coin, as well
as the coining
restal four of the coiners.

The Princess Maria Elizabeth of Saxony, widow
of the late Duke of Genoa, brother of King Victor
Emmanuel, has just celebrated a morganatic mar-
riage with the Marquis Orapallo, ex-orderly officer
of the late Duke.

A letter from Baden states that the army of that
duchy is to be completely organised after the Prus-
sian system, and that the laudwehr service is to be
declared obligatory for all the male subjects of the
State.

The Nouve//iste, of Marseilles, of the 13th, says :
The Etiglish gunboat Qsproy, which has been
waiting here for some days, left last evening after
the arrival of an English officer with despatches,
and who was accompanied on board by the English
consul. The moment the consul quitted the vessel
she left at full speed for a destination not known
to tui.7.
