in the ord Of the Turks more than 100000 nhabi-
tan,s went out from Bucharest and the surrounding
country, unarmed in festive garments, and with the
clergy at their head to welcome them. Fuad Edend
then invited them to send deputaton to his camp
so that he might communicate 10 them his instruc-
tioDs. No sooner" says W. Bratiano in his account
Of these events mo sooner did the deputi ton pre-
" sent themselves before Fuad Efendi, than they
'were made prisoners, and at the same time the
Turkish army precipitated itself in forced march
upon Bucharest, trampling down under the boOfs Of
Ibis cavalry the peaceful inhabitants who had gone
"out TO meet the Turks friends, tearing down their
banners, destroying their crosses, bombarding
"miltary barrack which it found on its passage as
"well as q whole quarter Of the town, firing grape
"shot at the Waacbian soldiers who occupied those
barracks, inducing them to capitulate and lay down
their arms putting death the sick, and after having
reached the town giving themselves up to pillage,
massacre and other horrible deeds Itwas here that
Gen. DuAame the Russian Commissioner, accom-
1spied ard in fact comm snded the Turkish army
He was followed by the Russian army and the result
was the treaty of Balta Liman, i. e. among other
things the restoration OF the Russian fundamental law,
or atato which is nothing else than the status quo as
TO which Austria engages reduce Walacha.
1t is clear that if Omer Pasha should now enter
W8llachia with his vctOrousarmy, the Turks with all
their late experience and at war with Russia, would
re.estabshed the Constitution of lsis, with the
republic communism and the revival of all the
creations OF le4o following in his wake. Nobody VIII
believe that Austria would have been less dspeased
with that contingency than Russia. On the other
hand is equally clear that the Porte must have been
subject to extraordinary pressure TO allow itself to
be dragged into another violation OF its treaties with
the Wallachans, the consequences of which it knows
by experience. That pressure can have proceeded
from no quarter but the English ambassador. 1t is,
therefore interesting to cord how, the Lord
Radcliffe and his superiors in Downing-st behaved in
s4s and 40 with regard to the violations of the rights
of Moldo- Va lacha by both Russians and Turks.
When the Russian Army first crossed the Moldavian
frontier in June loi9, Lord PalmerstOn declared in
the House of Commons, in answer TO the inevitable
Dudley Stuart 'that the Russian troops entered Mol
"daya without any orders from the Cabinet Of St. Pc
"tersburg thatthey only aimed at the maintenance or
establishment Oforder, that they wouldbe withdrawn
''wLen the occasion had ceased that the entry
1.-the authority of the HospOdar, and there dis
.positon for the acquisition of territory"
In August 1e4o, when the Russian army again
crossed the Pruth, their march to Bucharest, and
when the Moldo Waachans had sent deputatiOn to
Constantinoplc the Divan applied to the En-
bafsadors of England and France for advice, and
was recommended by Lord Radcliffe TO adopt the line
of policy enjoned by Russia.
III October, when the Turks and Russians in com
mon occupied Wslachia, Wallachian officer was
pursued by the Russians into the dwelling of the com
mander of the Turkish troops at Bucharest, Omer
Pasha who in common with Fuad Efendi protested
Tie Porte, informed of this Insult declared it would
have 10 more to 90 with the Russians and order its
troops 10 the Danube, in order to TO be
the accomplice of the Russians in the Principaes,
and threatened to address to the great powers So
Tenn prOtesiation, accompanied by detailed memo
randum of oil that had occurred in the Prncipates
Tie same Embafsador interfered again and balled
these intentions of the Porte.
Lastly, at the time when the combined Russo
Turkish occupation in lcl9 had assumed the charac
ter of reign of terror, and when Magliero the
commander of the Waachan irreguars alone re-
sisted, he was induced to withdraw beyond
tie Carpathian mountains 'by the persuasion of
the British Consul General, who represented to him
that the presence Of his army would paralyze the
action of diplomacy, but that his country would
soon be rghtei." KARL MiIN
