They contain the news of the ratification of the Treaty of Adrianople by the Porte, on the 14th of September—of a special mission from Constantinople to St. Petersburgh, in the hope of obtaining a modification of some of its terms, —and the separate Act, supplementary to said Treaty, for arranging the affairs of Moldavia and Wallachia. The changes made by this Act are these:—The two Hospodars are to enjoy their dignities for life, instead of seven years, and are to govern without any interference from the Porte. The Sultan surrenders every thing on the left bank of the Danube, even to the privilege of allowing a Mahomedan subject to reside there, or to own land after the expiration of 18 months He relinquishes all claim to tribute from the Principalities, and accepts in lieu thereof a fixed sum, to be determined hereafter, but not to commence till two years after the total evacuation of the Principalities by Russia. The Principalities are rendered almost entirely independent of the Turkish government
