Vashenko, who are the actual
governors. But the most important feature in the question is a note
which the ex-Prince Michael has addressed to the Porte. He declares that
the election of Alexander Kara Georgewitch was brought about by violence

The _New York American_, in its summary for the packet, says:--Our
