GREECE.

Letters and journals from Athens to the 4th
inst. state that the Greek government has par-
doned the non-commissioned officers drawn into
the revolt of Nauplia, and also restored their

commissions to a certain number of officers who
took part in the insurrection. Great interest is
excited at Athens by a project for cutting through
the isthmus of Corinth, and making a new port
on the western coast of the Peloponneaus.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, MONDAY EVININO.

You will see that the Paris morning papers rival
each other in scorn and ridicule of the Guerron-
'tare solution. It cannot be said of Kde la Guer-
ronuiere, "tires acquirit eundo," for the more he
writes the less is thought of him. Even those
honest champions of Italy, the Temps, Prase, and
Opinion Nationale—which a few days ago pro-
I claimed their fear that he must be inspired by the
highest authority—now treat him with great non-
chalance. The two former of those evening journals
do not notice his last article at all, and the Opinion
postpones its criticism till to-morrow.
The great battle now going on at court is on the
subject of the general elections. If they take place
next mouth K de Persigny will have beaten the
ultramontane party at Biarritz, and then nobody
will take any account whatever of what K
de la Guerronniere may say. M. Peyrat, in
the Preue, ventures to head a leading article
with these words :—" The general elections
will take place on the 2Gth of October next."
But he explains afterwards that this is not
• statement of fact but a logical induction of his
own. Referring to the statement of La France
that the matter is under the Emperor's considera-
tion, he says :—" It is not, therefore, certain, that
the government has yet quite made up its mind ;
but what is not clear in the intentions of ministers
is abundantly clear in the necessities of the
situation."

The Bulher's Correspondence expresses a belief that
M. Mercier, the French Minister in the United
States, is ordered to make a conciliatory attempt to
put a stop to the civil war in America.
A warning has been given to the Chronique de
Moult (a journal of the Sarthe) for an article about
Garibaldi in its number of Sept. 8.
The Bourse was languid to-day. In consequence
of a mistake the Rents was quoted during great part
of the morning ex div. at 68fr. 85c. At one o'clock
a ministerial circular was distributed stating that
the dividend would not be struck till to-morrow,
and then the Reute wasdone.at 69fr. 60c., which,
after a little fluctuation, was the last price for cash,
being a rise of 20c. For account there was a fall of
5c., the closing quotation being 69fr. 55c. Mobi-
lier rose If r. 25c. The Italian Loan fell 25c. The
Lyons Railway rose 7fr. 50c., Eastern 3fr. 75c.,
and Western lir. 25c. Orleans fell (4r., and the
other lines were a trifle lower.

The dog tax is a new thing in France, and people
pay it very unwillingly. In consequence of the
numerous claims for exemption under the clauses in
favour of watchdogs and dogs employed by hawkers
and costermongers, the Council of State has been
exercising its ingenuity to olefins what is a dog
within the sumptuary purview of the law. It has
laid down the rule that all doge that come within
either of the six following descriptions must be con-
sidered as "dogs of luxury," and pay the full tax :
—l. The dog that runs about by himself in the
streets ; 2. The dog that accompanies his master
when he goes out for a pionieuade ; 3. The dog
who is allowed to come to the fireside or run about
the house from oue room to another ; 4. The dog
permitted to play with the children ; 5. The dog
trained to seek for truffiep ; and 6. Thu dog who,
front old age or infirmity, has become useless, and
is, consequently, kept constantly in the house.
Some of these definitions will raise very nice ques-
tions with the tax-gatherers.
The inauguration of the railway from Lorient to
Nantes is officially announced to take place on the
21st. The former town is preparing a grand fête
for the occasion.

" Public opinion," says the Echo Agricole, "is
now pretty well fixed as to the amount of the corn
crop, there being a good average year. The Minister
of Agriculture has confirmed that estimate by bis
own personal opinion. The crop of this year,' be
says, in a late r..port to the Emperor, is generally
considered as equivalent to that of an average year.'
We lo not think that any later particulars have in
any way seriously modified that opinion."

The female hippopotamus at the Garden of Plants,
Paris, gave birth to a young one last week ; but, like all them
preceding, it died is a short time.
Genera! h:lapka, the Hungarian, has arrived at
Marseilles from Geneva.

Queen Christina, who has been for some time
past residing at her villa at St. Adreese, near Havre, last
week made an excursion to I,7namp, to visit the old abbey
and the bathing establishment there.

The Jews of Kattowitz, in Silesia, have just
inaugurated a new synagogue in that town. In a proms-
sion from the old place of worship to the new, the Roman
catholic and protestant clergy walked behind the four
rabbis, who carried rolls of parchment on which were
written the Five Books of Moses. After divine service, a
repast was offered to the persons who had taken part in
the ceremony, when expressions of toleration, fraternity,
and neighbourly love were exchanged.
Some of the inhabitants of Naples have prepared
an address to Garibaldi in the following terms :—" To
General Garibaldi, Varignano.—Naples, Sept. 7, 1862.
Generel,—To-day two years are completed since Naples saw
the tyranny of the Bourbons destroyed; since you, the
seal and leader of a gigantic enterprise, first to unfold the
banner of a united Italy, entered our city alone, sad were
received here with the enthusiasm of an entire people. We
should be wanting in the holiest of human sentiments, that
of gratitude, if, silent on occasion of your misfortune, this
day should pass away unmarked. Illustrious prisoner! to-
day, then, Naples sends you an affectionate salutation. The
vicissitudes of human fortune, whatever they may be,
cannot take from you the glory of having made us Italians,
01 from us the memory of the heart."

The remains of O'Connell's faithful and chivalrous
companion, Steele, have been removed from the vault is
which they were deposited, near those of the chief for
whom and for whose party he sacrificed everything. The
vault, it seems, was wanted by a wealthy alderman, and the
Glasnevin Cemetery Company thought themselves justified
in removing the coffin of " Honest Tom Steele," • pro-
testant, to make way for the family of • more orthodox
Christian. This is a small matter compared with the fact
deplored in eloquent and pathetic terms by the Freeman's
Jour oaf. There is a statue of the late Mr. O'Connell,
.` the Mender," to whom mainly the Roman esthetics of
Ireland owe their emancipation, and whose word was once
law to millions. The sum of 100/. was wanted to release
this statue, in order that it might be set up at Eon* on
the spot where O'Connell won his greatest victory, the
Clam election, which decided the government of the day to
relinquish its opposition to the catholic claims. The
editor of the Freeman appealed in the most earnest terms,
not only to the people of Clare, but to the Roman catho-
lic. of all Ireland, to contribute the required sum for this
"national" purpose. The result of this appeal to the gra-
titude of an emancipated race and a liberated church was
three subscriptions of it. each.
The letters receive I from Russia regarding the
Nishoi Novgorod Fair state that the trade has been good
generally, and particularly for overland tea, the price of
which has been from 103 to 119 silver roubles per chest (84
Russian pounds), 50,000 chests first quality Bair.hovy having
been sold, while not more than 1,000 chests of that im.
ported from England have been disposed of. 20,000
poods of cotton, Kim and Bokhara, were sold at 12 to 13
silver roubles per pood, to be shipped to England.
The Council General of the Department of Var
has agreed to an address to the French government calling
for a heavy tax on absinthe, an intoxicating drink, the
basis of which (to use the chemical term) is prussic acid, and
which is indulged in to such an excess by Frenchmen of
every class, but particularly by military men, as to seri•
ously affect their health. The prevalence of insanity among
the officers of the French ►rmy quartered io Africa is
ascribed chiefly to this deleterious drink, which is, as all
visitors to Paris are aware, also very extensively consumed
in the capital.

The Madrid journals of the 12th publish an ac-
count of the Queen of Spain's departure for Andalusia.
When the Queen enters the province at Jaen, the governor
will present to her Majesty the key of the Andalusia*. This
key is a piece of jewellery of immense value, made for the
occasion. It is of gold, richly mounted with 131 precious
stones, rubies, diamonds, and emeralds, surmounted by a
crown, and on it are inscribed the Andalusian cipher, with
the arms of Juen.

A letter from Rome, published by the Wanderer
of .Vienna, contains the following statement :—" The
Pope's health is not very satisfactory. His own position,
and that of Italy, weigh on his mind. His }foliates lately
remarked to an ecclesiastical dignitary —• The head of
Providence hes already written for me the Nene, Meese,
Trkel, Upharsin. My days are numbered; my acts ere
weighed in the balaoce of Divine justice, and I hope they
will not be found too far wanting ; my empire is falling
into secular hands. Will it be for long?—who knows The
Pope almost every day receives visits from foreign priests,
chiefly French and Belgian. In answer to the question
addressed to him on the subject of his personal fears or
hopes, he usually replies in very few words, and it is evi-
dent that such questions do not please him."
Weimar is at this moment encumbered with
congresses. To that of the workmen, which has just
chosen Hamburg as their centre of emaciation, has sac-
ceded the emoomical congress, which will be followed by
the Vor parliament. The little Germanic Athens hardly
knows where to lodge so many clever people, and its Plat-
form is not sufficient for the orators who dispute possession
of it.

Two brothers, the Counts John and Benedict
Tyszkiewice, belonging to one of the richest families in
Lithuania, were crossing the bridge of the river ramie'',
in the government of Wilm, a few days beet in a four.
horse carriage, on their return from hunting, when the
bridge gave way beneath them, and the whole were preci-
pitated into the river. Count Benedict and two servants
escaped, but seriously injured, while Count John wan
drowned.
