the     Sultan,   at    Tilsit,  paid   no  heed  to   the    arguments  of    the
French  agents    in  favour  of   continuing   the    war.      The    Busaian
demands  were  moderate,  and  they  were  accepted.     There  was  no
question  now  of  a  Russian  annexation  of  the  Danubian  PrincipalitieB
as  a  whole.     But  by  the   treaty  of  Bucharest  in   1812    the  Tsar
received  the  territory  between  the  Dniester  and  the  Pratb,  which  is
known  by  the  generic  name  of  Bessarabia.      For  the  Boamanians  the
cession  of  Bessarabia  was  a  terrible  blow.     Austria  had   taken  from
them  the  Bukovina,  now  Russia  took  another  piece  of  their  land.
