THE PARIS CONFERENCE.

| The revolution in the Danubian Principalities
| (Moldayia and Wallachia), though lasting only
few hours, and affecting peace neither at
home nor abroad, has appeared Suihclently
grave to the great Powers of Europe to cause
them to agree without hesitation upon the I'M
mediate convocatiOn of European Congress.
The revolution took place on February 70, and
on March 10 the Conference of the representa-
tiyeS of the European Powers held its first
meeting at Paris, under the Presidency oil III.
Drouyn de Lhuys.
We have as yet nothing but vague rumors
concerning the intentions Of the Great Powers.
The Diet of the Principalitcs has again declared
in an emphatic manner its desire Tor their
permanent union. At tho former Congress
which was held on this question, all the fowerS
were willing to grant the national demand,
except Austria, tho protest Of which against
the permanent union was the cause OF tho
frman of the Sultan, dated Nov IL, 1861,
granting the union only Professionally Tor tho
lifetime of Prince Couza. From the language
of the semi-onicial organs of the Russian Gov
eminent, it would seem that at present Russia
is not favorable to the continuance OF the uiiion'
and NAV use its influence for re6stabshing 4
separate Government for both Moldayia and
Wallachia. For Turkey Austria and Russia,
the three powerful neighbors of the Principal
ties, the question of the union OF the latter
is a matter Of considerable Importance. For
Turkey, the permanent union of the Principali-
ties means an important step toward complete
emancipation from Turkish rule. For Austria,
it means the consolidation Of new nationality
which has nearly 5000, 900 of the same race still
living under Austrian rule, who cannot fail ere
long TO drift as certainly toward union with
an independent Roumanio state, as Vcnetia has
long been drifting toward union with Italy.
For Russia, the consolidation of Roumanlc
nationality on the mouth of tho Danube means
new obstacle to the conquest Of European
Turkey by the Sclavic race.
Beside the establishment OF permanent
Union, the Diet Of the PrncipaltieS has taken
the very first opportunity to express again. by
the election OF the Count Of Flanders as
Hospodar, their desire for prince from one OF
the regning houses of Europe. This also IA IN
opposition to the stipulation agreed upon at a
former Conference OF the European Powers,
which declared only natives Of the two Prnci-
palties eligible for the dignity OF HospodaF
The election OF foreign prince would be the
natural supplement of the permanent union.
1t would consummate tho establishment Of an
independent Roumanic nationality and Empire
which could not well remain in a tributary
relation to Turkey, and could hardly further
the plans of either Ru STA or Austria.
BY many it is believed that the Conference
once assembled will also occupy itself with the
question of the Duchies of SchleSwig ana Iol-
stein, which has recently led to grave misun-
derstandings between Austria and Prussia. The
next arrival from Europe will probably give us
some further information on the object Of the
Conference and on the views Of the several
members.
