The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1858-09-11

pamphlet recently published at Geneva, and
freely quoted by the English Reviewers, puts us in
possession of many facts in relation to the internal
affairs of the Danubian Prncipalities, which are of
more than ordinary interest at this time now that
the manner in which Moldavia and Wallachia
shall be governed in future and the relation which
those provinces shall hold, henceforth, towards
Turkey, has been definitely settled by the Paris
Conference The text of that Convention has not vet
been published but tits very generally understood
that the Five Powers have decided upon an admin
istrative union of the two provinces and a Repre-
sentative assembly based upon very high cleo
tora qualification, and that they have rejected the
plea for a constitutional monarchy, as dangerous
to Austria, from the discomfort it would produce
among her Sclavonan subjects, and as of serious
INJURY to Turkey, inasmuch as it would not only
deprive her of her richest provinces, but would
tend to encourage the other Christian populations
of Turkey TO declare their independence. and es-
tablish governments of their own The political
independence and constitutional monarchy de-
manded by the Observation-Disclosures has therefore been
denied them; but the arguments upon which they
based their claims to be recognised as a distinct
nationality are not the less worthy of being noted
The series of letters composing the pamphlet to
which we have referred, are said to have been
written by member of one of the great Boyard
families of Wallachia, and the writer is also de-
scrbed as IA man of honor and intelligence of
sincere patriotism and moderate views" The
position assumed by him is that the best in
terests of Turkey, and of Austria, would be con-
suited by the union of Moldavia and Walachia
and the consolidation of the Rouman nationality
under foreign prince. He contends that, when
thus united, the Romans would present, not only
a strong barrier against Russian aggression. but
would be protected alike from Turkish treachery
and oppression, and from the intrigues of Russian
agents. From 1871 the appointment of the Hospo-
dars of Moldavia and Wallachia, was vested in the
Greeks; but, in 1922, the HoSpodaral crowns were
taken from the latter, by Turkey, and given to
Boyards, selected by the Porte without consulting
the Roumans themselves, and in violation of an
Gent treaties. In 1923, Russia, having declared
war upon Turkey, occupied Modo-Wallachia with
military force, and asserting the right of Protec-
torate which had been conceded to her of the treaty
oil Adrlanople, deposed the Hospodars appointed
ny turkey, and replaced them by two Russian
