The Prince of Roumania.

Prince Charles of Hohenzollern- Sigmarin gen , who
has been elected to rule the Principalities of Wal-
lachia and Moldavia as Prince (or Hospodar) of
Roumania, in the room of the deposed Prince Couza,
is second son of Prince Charles Antoine, the head
of the house of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, who, it
will be remembered, renounced his rights in favour
of the late King of Prussia in 1849, receiving the
prerogatives of a puisne prince of the Royal House,
and who as late as 1861 was, in his own person
only, raised to the rank of royal highness. The new
rulers chosen for the Principalities is the issue of the
marriage of his father to Josephine-Frederica
Louise, daughter of the late Grand Duke Charles
Louis Frederic of Baden, and is now within a
few days of completing his 27th year, having
been born on April 20, 1839. The baptismal names
given to his highness were Charles Eitel Frederick
Zephyrin Louis. He is at present in the Prussian
military service as an officer of the 2nd Regiment
of Dragoons. His highness has three brothers—
Prince Leopold (the heir to the family honours),
Prince Antoine, and Prince Frederick ; also a
sister, the Princess Marie. The new prince is con-
nected with the reigning family of France ; his
aunt, the Princess Frederica-Wilhelmina, having
married, in 1844, Joachim Napoleon Marquis
Pepoli, grandson of the King of Naples, Joachim
