DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES

The Wiener Zeitung states, from Bucharest, of
the 17th ultimo, that the solemn installation of the

Prince Barbo Demeter Stirbey, took place in that
city on the 16th ultimo. The weather and the feel-
logs of the populace were greatly in favour of the
new Prince, who addressed the estates of Moldavia
and Wallachia in a speech, in which he told them
that the fortunes of the country were threatened by
unheard-of difficulties, but that, leaning as he did on
the two protecting powers of Russia and Turkey, he
hoped to be able to surmount all obstacles and to fill
the Danubian principalities with peace, plenty, and
prosperity.

The Sardinian Senate voted, on the Stbf the ;fol..
owing address, in answer to the Speech from the
Throne :
" Sire,—The harmony fortunately existing between
the Prince and his people is a:fact ot ancient date in the
monarchy of Savoy. The interests of the nation were
ever sacred to the Prince. The people loved a mo-
narchy, whose aim it was to improve the moral and
physical condition of the country, to maintain its
independence and guard its honoar. This fact, which
is rare in the history of nations, will, we are assured,
never cease to subsist. Nay, we are convinced that the
constitutional system, happily introduced by the magna-
nimous Charles Albert, Rill offer the people more fre-
quent opportunity of confirming it,'and already, among
other proofs of affection, your Majesty justly reminds u!:
of the electors, who hastened in numbers to answer your
appeal in order to take a part in one of the most im-
portant acts of political life, the election of deputies.
The confidence ot the nation is worthily placed in you,
Sire, who with such intense affection and determined will
have united your destiny with ours. Your Majesty may
rely upon meeting with the same harmony in the deli-
berations of Parliament, which will be carried on with
the conscientious sincerity whick forms the basis of
good constitutional eovernment, and will facilitate in-
terior reforms, increase the public credit, and promote
our friendly relations with Foreign Powers. To main-
tain in its integrity our liberty and independence, while
we consider you, Sire, as the first champion in that
cause; to defend religion, without which liberty perishes,
and society is dissolved; to promote elementary instruc-
tion, that the people may learn to know their rights and
duties, and to distinguish true liberty from insub-
ordination to every authority—their true friends from
those who would attempt to corrupt and mislead them;
to improve, as far as circumstances will admit, the
condition of the poorer classes; to provide against
the penury of the Treasury without injuring the sources
of reproduction ; to introduce into the public depart-
ments the reforms which are called for by the constitu-
tional system. Such are, Sire, the points to which in
oar opinion the attention of Government and the severe
scrutiny of Parliament should be turned. Tne Senate
promises you, sire, its prompt and loyal suppo. t. It
has full confidence in the King and the Constitution
—it is convinced that this generous and prudent na-
tion will show Europe that it is fit for the exercise
of the precious rights which it has Leen called upon to
enjoy.'
