JUST now a very small State in Edrope

prominent position. Having managed
TO give its petty affairs an European in

though they are with their own grave con

what sharpening in the Danubian Prin-
cipalities, as wei as with something
about the region and the people in ques-

Styling themselves R-0umanians, and
Wanting descent from a coIouvof Roman

people, not at all turbulent who live Ia
a district Of country separated from TuT-
key by the Danube, which affords them
an avenue for such trade and commerce
as they have; the river Pruth separates
them from Russia, and the Carpathean
mountains from Austria. The conflict

depose him. This resolve was duly COM

that a new European conference has
