1 1th. " The Sublime Porte promises never to grant a Firman at the request of a Wal- 9G JOURNAL OF A RESIDENCE IN lacliian subject, for his affairs in Wallachia, of whatever nature they may be ; and never to assume the right of calHng to Constanti- nople, or to any other part of the Turkish dominions, a Wallachian subject, on any pretence whatever. " The Wallachians had been at war with the Turks, and having met with reverses, they were forced to conclude a peace, and the foregoing treaty conta...ins the terms on which that peace was established. The Danube often proved an inefficient barrier between the Christians of Moldo- Wallachia, and their fanatical neighbours. After the death of Mahomet 11. , the Turks made frequent inroads into the Principalities, and at one time seized upon the fortresses of Ibraila, Giurgevo, and Tourno. In 1598, however, the Yaivode Michael put to the sword a body of three thousand janissaries, who were committing horrible ravages in the country, and finally di'ove the Turks across the Danube.
