lachia, have recognized the necessity of giving to
the administration of those provinces a more dur-
able basis, and one more in harmony with their true
interests. With this, view it has been and is defini-
tively resolved, that the reign of the Hospodars shall
not as formerly be limited toseven years, but they
shall be invested with their dignity for life, except
in the case of a free and unconstrained abdication,
or of an expulsion in consequence of crimes com-
mitted as detailed in the said separate act.
The Hospodars are to administer the internal
government of their provinces, with the assistance
of their Divan, according to their own pleasure, but
without permitting themselves any infraction of the
rights guaranteed to the two countries by Treaties
or Matti-scherifs; nor shall their administration be
disturbed by any command tending to the violation
of those rights.
The Sublime Porte obliges itself conscientiously
to keep watch that the privileges granted to Mol-
davia and Wallachia shall in no way be violated by
the neighbouring governors, and th-t these shall in
no way be allowed to interfere in the affairs of
those two provinces; also to prevent the inhabitants
of the right bank of the Danube from making ex-
cursions upon the territory of Moldavia and Wal-
lachia. All isles situated nearest to the left bank of
the; Danube ere to be considered as part of the ter-
ritory of those provinces, and to the point where
it enter; the Ottoman territory to the point of its
confluence with the Pruth, the channel of the
Danube is to form the, boundaries of the two Prin-
cipalities.
o provide the more securely for the inviolability
of the Moldavian and Wallachian territory, the
Sublime Porte engages to retain no fortified point
upon the left bank of the Danube,nor to permit any
settlement there of its Mahometan subjects. It is
accordingly irrevocably fixed that no Mahnmetan
shall ever be allowed to have his residence in Mol-
davia or Wallachia, and that only merchants pro-
vided with firmans shall be admitted for the purpose
of buying, on their own account, such articles as
may be required for the consumption of Constan-
tinople.
The Turkish cities situated on the left bank of
the Danube are to be restored to Wallachia, to re-
main incorporated with that principality ; and the
fortifications previously existing on that bank are
never to be repaired. Mahometans possessing landed
property, either in those cities, cr upon any point
left of the Danube, provided they have not unfairly
become possessed thereof (non usurpes sue des par-
ticuliers), shall be bound to sell such property to
natives within 18 months.
The Government of the Principalities being en-
titled to all the privileges of independence in their
internal administration, it shall be lawful for the
same to draw sanitary cordons, and to establish qua-
rantine stations along the line of the Danube, and
wherever else it may be deemed necessary; nor
shall any strangers, be they Christians or Maho-
metans, have a right to consider themselves above
an exact compliance with such quarantine regula-
tions. For the execution of the quarantine duty,
the protection of the frontiers, the maintenance of
order in the cities and in the open country, and for
the purpose of obedience to their decrees, the Go-
vernment of each principality shall be permitted to
maintain a sufficient military force. The numerical
force of these troops is to be determined by the
Hospodars and their respective Divans, upon the
bases of former examples.
The Sublime Porte, animated by an earnest wish
to secure to the two Principalities every species
of prosperity which they are capable of enjoying,
and being aware of the abuses and oppression occa-
sioned by the contributions for the supply of
Can-
stantinople, end the victualling of the fortres es of
the Danube, renounces in the most complete and
unconditional manner, its rights in this respect.
Moldavia and Wallachia are accordingly for ever
relieved of all those contributions of corn, provisions,
cattle, and timber, which they were formerly bound
to furnish. Nor shall in any case labourers be de-
manded from these provinces for any forced service
(cortlee.) In order, however, in some degree to in-
demnify the Grand Signorial Treasury for the losses
which may be sustained by this renunciation of
rights, Moldavia and Wallachia are bound inde-
pendently of the yearly tribute paid under the de-
nominations of Kharadsh Idiye, and Rakiabiye, by
virtue of the Hatti-scherif of 1822, to pay to the
Sublime Porte yearly a pecuniary indemnity, the
amount of which is hereafter to be determined.
Moreover, upon every fresh nomination of a Hospo-
dar, in consequence of death, resignation, or deposi-
tion, the principality where that event occurs, shall
be bound to pay to the Sublime Porte a sum equal
to the yearly tribute of the province. 'With the ex-
ception of these sums no tribute or present of any
kind shall, under any pretext whatever, be demanded
from the Hospodars.
In consequence of the abolition of the above spe•
cified contributi )ns, the inhabitants of the Principa-
lities are to enjoy an unlimited freedom of trade for
all the productions of their soil and industry (as sti-
pulated by the separate act of the treaty of Aker-
mann,) the same not to be liable to any other restraint
except such as the llospodars, with the consent of
their Divans, may consider:necessary for the due pro-
visioning of the country; they shall be allowed to
navigate the Danube with their own vessels, being
provided with passports from their own government,
and it shall be lawful for them to proceed for the
purposes of trade to the- other harbours and ports of
the Sublime Porte, without suffering any persecution
from the collectors of the Kharadsh, and without
being exposed to any other act of oppression whatever.
Duly considering, moreover, all the burdens
which it has been necessary for Moldavia and Wal-
lachia to support, the Sublime Porte, animated by a
proper feeling of humanity, consents to release the
inhabitants from the yearly tribute, payable to the
treasury, for the space of two years, to be reckoned
from the day of the total evacuation of the Princi-
palities by the Russian troops.
Finally, the Sublime Porte, animated by the wish
to secure in every possible way the future prosperity
of the two Principalities, binds itself to confirm every
administrative measure which, during their occupa-
tion by the Russian army, may have been decreed
in conformity to a wish expressed in the assemblies
of the principal inhabitants of the country, such
decrees serving thenceforward as the basis of the
internal administration of those provinces, provided
always that such decrees do not in any way infringe
upon the rights of sovereignty vested in the Sublime

Porte.
On this account we, the undersigned Plenipo-
tentiaries of his Majesty the Emperor and Padishah
of all the Russias have, conjointly with the Pleni-
potentiaries of the Sublime Ottoman Porte, regu-
lated and fixed the points respecting Moldavia and
Wallachia, the same being a continuation of Article
Five of the treaty of peace concluded at Adrianople,
between us and the Ottoman Plenipotentiaries.

TRIESTE, OCT. 9.
After almost daily rains for above a month, our
road was visited yesterday by a furious storm, which
did great damage to the shipping. At daybreak
the rapid course of the clouds to the N.W. shewed
that the Sirocco was very violent; but from the
situation of our road we did not expect auy disastrous
consequences; but all at once the wind turned to
the S.W., and blew with increasing fury, so that we
were exposed to the whole violence of the sea and
wind, which impelled the waves towards the coast,
so that the lower part of the city next the sea was
inundated to a depth of which we do not
remember any former instance. Happily, the
ebb seting just at the time of the storm, so that
after the first fury of the waves was broken :the
waters subsided, but not without having
damaged a
great quantity of goods i.. :magazines and ware-
