The telegraphie despatch from Vienna which op-
prised us . of , Prince Alexander's '. departure from
Belgrade for 'Sernlin was". not complete.- It ought
to have 'added that before leaving: he signed a
formal abdication at the demand of Kouli Pacha,
governor Of Belgrade, who acted upon instructions
received, from Constantinople. A general pardon
had beennceorded bythe Skuptschina to all Prince
Alexander's partisans. Prince Milosch's arrival at
Belgrade:Was' alone wanting to , make everything
regular. 7 Rumours, however, prevail that the
Prince is rather alarmed at the re-establishment of
the old pril-ilr2r, of the witi,,n,fl 1.-pr•ri.,Vion.

Lion of inettui.c., to diminish the present pre•
penderating influence-of the democratic party.- -
AA letter , from Jassy of the 24th ult., in the
Constitutiwinel, says In the elections, which
are now on the ei-e of being terminated, the Caima-
kams, nave rigidly followed the prescriptions of the
convention, and have more particularly endeavoured
to-be 'punctual to the term fixed, and • have suc-
ceeded, in spite of party struggles and of foreign
Interference.- ~, Up to the present time, every-
thing has , gone, on i without any ..disorder.-worth
mentioning, and according to the interests of the
country. The resignation, of 11. Catardgi -does
not check the zeal .of MM. Stourdza and Pano,
and the intrigues which were intended to cause
disturbance in the Government ' will hate been
in vain. '7.
.The remonstrances of the Porte,
and the reproaches cast on the Camakams,
caused a considerable sensation.among the people;
but MM. Stourdza and Pano received the observa-
tions with great deferenee, and replied to them
with all the respect due to a suzerain power. The
emotion n illy therefore calm down, and there is no
fear of the Provisional Government taking offence
and dissolving itself. Some of ;the remonstrances
of the Porte arc not at all tenable, or, at least, it is
impossible for the Caimakans to pay attention to
them. On the 18th inst., for instance, a telegraphic
order directed the Caimakams to repeal the decree
which' had re-establit;hed the law on the liberty
of the press. - Under the .-government of M.
Theodore . Balche, whose docility towards the
Porte accorded with-his own
_personal views, the
execution-,ofthel decree was-suspended on a mere
-letter, kora tbeirl24 ; but under Lexisting eitetins-
. stances-it-'s to imitate the-conduct of M.
Balche. pThe present Government is founded,on
the internatienat act of the :19th Au4ust; it is trec
f
to act as it thililts, it) riti; the internal affaiiti at
the country, and- übli siAthriorr is -ell-Wit liC itri
favour. ..ntithiiii atso ~itilailfsMe,revoeation of
the decrees is; that at the moment when such . im-
portant electiOns; were about to take place it Was
both just mid moral to give parties entire liberty
to act anti toe Peak, to allow the* press to freely judge
of men and things, and, in short, to give full sway
to newiideaiand to, the most contrary opinions. The
Caimakams have therefore refused, opts the present
time, to attend to the order of Dec. 18, and there is
every reason to suppoee that, it will remain without
effect. Considerable sensation was at first caused
by the dismisrsal of the Moldavian'Charge d'Affaires
at Constantineple, but. that act was neither violent
nor illegal. It was well known that M. PhOtiadi
was the private correspondent of Prince Vogorides,
and he ie; moreover, brother-in-law of M. Stourdza,
the candidate for the post of Hoepodar. The Cai-
makams were, - therefore, bound in honour 'not to
leave the interests of the country in the hands of a
man who might -be regarded both as the agent of
the ex-Hospodar and- of the future one. MM.
Stourdza and Pano have done nothing which-in the
slightest
,way merits blamed and , all their acts have
been called for by local exigencies. Be assured that
the difficulties of the moment cannot be imputed

to the organization which has been given 'to the
Principality, and that the work of the Conference
has lost nothing of its value and of its importance."
