THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

In Koumania matters appear to be approaching a crisis. The Moldavian Deputies, who aim at the separation of the two Principalities »gain— in -which desire they are &upported by Russia— have convened a grand meeting for the 6th of this month at Roman (about 35 English miles from J*ssy), and this meetiug the Government seems determined to prevent. A circular to all the authodtes in Moldavia eDJoins that all agitation against the union shall be suppressed in its beginning, and troops, consisting of infantry, cavalry, aud artillery, have been sent from Jassy to Roman to support the authorities. Ab an active interference would, however, be an infringement of the constitutional right of assembly, the Moldavians have determined to persist in holding their meeting in defiance of the Government. At Jassy great uneasiness prevails, as it is Reared that a rising may take plac e while the troops are absent at Roman. It becomes more palpable from day to day that the Roumanians are entirely unfitted for selfgovernment, and that the present system of government under the former demagogue Bratiano is rapidly leading to anarchy. Prince Charles, who has just returned to Bucharest, has refused to receive the protest of the consular body against the late atrocities at GalatZ, and the persecution of Jews and foreigners continues unabated. In spite of their own dissensions the Roumanians still dream of a great united Daco-Roumanian nation, and several emissaries from revolutionary committees haTe lately been discovered in what they please to style "Transcarpatinaa Konmania"- i.e., Transylvania. Among the more prominent there waa a certain Captam Candianu, of the regular Roumanian army, who had been one of the successful conspirators against Cuaa_> Another ■was Cotesco, an editor of a Wallachian newspaper. All these emissaries were plentifully supplied with Kusßian roubles, and reported regularly to the " Daco-Roumanian" committee at Bucharest. There are more than a million of Roumans m Transylvania, and a still larger number in the southeast of Hungary, but they have no reason to envy the independence of their Moldo- Wallachian brethren and have been the first to lay hold on these emis, saries and insist upon their expulsion from the country. — Times.
