COUNT NksssLR0DE, TO THE CONsuL-GEHERAL,
EHA1CHkNsKI, DATED ST. PETERSBURG, JUNE 8.
The nil tary occupation of the principaties shall
as baye already informed you, make no alteration
in the existing order Of things as regards the civil
administration ard The personnel Of the higher
officials unless the Hospodars themselves should deem
the removal OF some Of them as expedient for the
Efficient regulation Of the public service in all its
branches especially regards the provision for the
imperial troops, There is, however, another cues
ton upon which We must express our opinion before
hand 10 the Princes that they may act accordingly
We aude 10 their relations with Constantinople and
the Ottoman government. Those relations must
necessarily cease on the day upon which troops
take military occupation of the land and when every
action--eveIy influence Of the ruling powers-mlst
be suspended Another consequence Of this state of
things must be the stoppage Of the tribute which the
amount which must be collected as usual, must be
handed over to the imperial government, to make
use Of it as it may think advisable.
beg OF you 70 communicate the contents Of this
despatch, BY command OF the Emperor, to the Hos
podars. am, &c.
Iy.--DEsPATCH or THE TURKISH MINISTER OF FOR
EIGN AFFAIRS. RSDscID PAcHA, 10 THE PRINCE
or wALLACHIA, sTIRBEy, DATED CONSTANTINE
PIE, 10Th JULY.
My Prince-Russia declared, when IL advanced its
troops into the municipalities Of Wallachia and Mol
davia, that it had not the intention to change the
public administration which governs those provinces,
nor the status guaranteed TO them by solemn
treaties: and the Sublime Porte, which put faith in
that declaration, thought that it might leave your
Highness, rs also his Highness the Prince OF Mol
davia, at your respective posts We however learn,
by despatch we have received from the Prince Of
Moldayia, that the Russian Court has issued the
order that you, as also the Prince of Moldaya,
TO break off relations with Constantinople, and to
discontinue the tribute which has caused us the
greatest surprise.
AS tie Russian court has attacked the system Of
the provinces in the point which touches directly
the right Of property. that is to say, in its very
foundations the Sublime Porte clearly perceyes
that this state of things the exercise Of the legal
authority in its sacred and inc ontestabe rights in
the provinces OF Moldavia and Waachia is impossi-
be- The Sublime Porte has therefore resolved that
your Highness, as also his Highness the Prince of
MoidaYia, shal temporarily leave the provinces; and
this resolve has been officially communicated to the
great powers.
1t is therefore necessary that you obey this impe
rial command, and Immediately leave the province.
And should It occur that you should act contrary 10
this supreme command, the Sublime Porte will re-
gard itself OF liberty TO take such measures as it may
deem most advisable for its own views and interests.
beg TO assure your Highness Of my high Is.

proclamation has been lately issued Of which
the following i translation from the Turkish
oiigins:--
The present proclamation showeth the state Of af
fairs at Constantinope and II is his Maiestys wish
that it should be promu gated in the provinces OF the
empire
The Sublime Porte and Russia having disagreed
ON certain points, the latter has suspended Der rea
tons and recalled her embassy from Consantnople
and, moreover, has made great military preparations
by sea and land: consequently, the Sublime Porte
also hos prepared herself for war, M has been al
se0dy made known. The reason assigned by Russia
for her dissatisfaction is the refusal Of the Porte TO
icord by treaty certain religious privileges to the
Greek Church. But these privileges were granted
by his Majesty Sultan Mehemed the Conaueror and
observed during the regns OF the late Suaus and
were alssconfiTmed b bis present Majesty the Sui
tan Of all Benevolence Ms well as by his prede ,cssors
When his present Majesty and his government OF their
own free will granted and confirmed these ancient
mmunities, who ever thought tuat they would be
nuledg When government wishes 10 undertake the
protec.ornte o. several millions of neighboring en-
pre, il uenaces its independence and intcrfores with
It's domestic affairs. The improperly OF such an act
has been declared, bat siussa would not forego her
claim. and has even occupied Wallacha and Mol
dayia, crossing the Pruth with her troops thas
greatly annoying the Sublime Porte. Such a viola
ton OF treaties has called forth on the part Of the
sublime Porte protest which has been eommuni-
Gated to the different European powers, In which IL
is declared that such act contrary to treaty will

question Of such grave importance arises afesting
the independence Of The empire, it ought to be ar
