Tive New Republics IN Europe.
The following item was among the news
brought by the Asia:
A Paris correspondent says that the result
OF the conferences just closed shows the ut
ter folly Of the Russian war, which was wag-
ed to rescue Moldavia and Walladinia from
the grasp OF Russia. The two principalities
will not be united in single state, but are to
have constitutions identical, each province
having its own elective assembly, which will
elect the Iospodars, turkey having no more
to 10 with these officials than to recognise
their election. The form Of government is,
in fact, specles Of republic founded on uni
yersal suffrage.

attended, but the bidding was not vsrv
spirited, and the prices brought did not
seem to satisfy the expectations Of the
Auctioneer and the prOprietors. The
highest price obtained for lot-size 95x
l4O-was $45, and the lowest price, $40
probably the average price Of the thirty
lots sold was about $25. The sale was
to have been continued on the following
day.

Of liquor, and were having time and something Of

BAILEY repaired to the place where they were en-
camped, when one Of them leveled his gun at him
At the same instant, one of the Snohomish Indians

south, and the division Of her unity crirni-

by one southern State against another
southern State, until, as Mr. Scott said, the
convention had been turned into political
debating club.
