THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Frankfort Journal, in spite of repeated co I-
tradietions, maintains that a protest has been ad-
dressed to the Porte on the subject of the late elec-
tions in the Principalities by the ambassadors of
England and AuAria. It says :
" Tke document in question is composed of two parts.
The one, which is official, demands in a diplomatic form
the annulment of the elections ; the other, which is non.
official, points out the reasons which should induce the
Ottoman Government to adopt that measure. In this
latter part the engagement at Osborne is brought for.
ward as a principal argument. M. Thouvenel on being
informed-of the existence of this note was very desirous
of knowing its contents. He appliei both verbally and
in writing to the Ottoman Minister of Foreign Affairs,
but Aali Puha declared that he was not authorised to
make the n•ite known."
Our Frankfort contemporary adds to the above
" It appears, however, that this document is not in
tended to impstle the march of affairs in the Danubian
provinces, but that M. de Prokesch and Lord St, atfurd
do Redefine merely wished to declare that they also had
the right of protest, because the same faults which the

The latest accounts receivei. from Persia an-
nounce that the Shah, who is at Niaveran, has
the intention of visiting the province of Khorassan
as roan as the cold weather shall have sot in. Th's
visit is probably connected with the projected forti-
fications on tilt frontiers of that province, which
have for aim to prevent the renewal of incursioi:s
like that which provoked the last siege of lierat.
Persia is tranquil,
and the general health of the
population excellent. Not a single case of cholera
occurred during the summer in Teheran—a circum-
stance worthy of attention from its excessive rarity.

A letter from Vienna of the 11th says :—" It is
by mistake that it bas been announced that Count
ValeriAn Esterhazy is to be replaced as ambassador
at St. Petersburg by Count Coloredo. Nothing has
yet been decided on the subject, and it is probable
that no ambassador will be nominated at St. Peters-
burg until the difference relative to the principali-
ties shall have been entirely removed."
