THE AFFAIRS OF GREECE.

A parliamentary paper containing official " cor-
respondence relating to the election of Prince
William of Denmark as King of Greece, and to the
State of the Country" has just been issued. The
correspondence, which extends over nearly 'our
months, from the beginning of April till towards
the middle of July, gives an account of the most
important public events that have happened in
Greece during that pericd, as well as a number of
interesting particulars relating to the condition and
prospects of the kingdom. It commences with a
letter from Mr. H. Elliot to Earl Russell, enclosing
a collection of telegraphic despatches received by
the Minister of the Interior, declaring the enthu-
siasm with which the election of Prince William of
Denmark to the Greek throne was received in all
parts of Greece. The next letters relate to the dis-
turbances at the Athenian circus, and the outrages
committed in various parts of the city by a gang
of lawless soldiers, who seem to have acted
in concert, and, as it was supposed, with
a political object. The representatives of the Great
Powers felt it necessary to quicken the action of
the government in bringing the offenders to justice,
and their representations being successful, order
was speedily restored, and the culprits punished.
The most important series of letters have refer-
ence, however, to the outbreak which followed the
return of the deputation from Denmark, with the
formal acceptance of the crown by Prince
and an autograph letter from the new King. This
conflict was, however, as the documents show, a
strife between domestic factions, involving no ques-
tion of national policy, and least of all any orga-
nised opposition to the new King.

bre to A Clava.—ln 1865 a man named John-
oca was mateoesd to ten years' penal servitude for a rob.
buy at Yahoo. A few weeks ago this nye received a
ticket-of-leave, and returned to Yahoo. He appears to
have bass lost sight of, however ; bet he was recently found
to have resorted to a detached wood —coos a quarry—about
a mils from the town, where he bad excavated a cave, re-
markably well biatrived for 0000ralarsok sod evidently
intended for hie readably. Johnson was suspected of a
meat robbery, sal was brought before the magistrates oa
Saturday, but liberated. Whether be will be permitted to
reside in his cave remains to be seen.

The State is full of rumours of a contemplated rising of
Secessionists, consequently there is an uneasy feeling in
the public mind. On the 6th inst., an affray marred at
Visalia, a small tows in Tillers county, betwMa the
Secessionist. and the soldiers stationed there. One of the
latter was killed. Several of the former were wounded :
36 shots were exchanged. Tillers and the adjcining counties in
the northern part of the State contain numerous Secessionists.
At Virile great excitement prevailed. Some Union citizens,
who organised se a home guard, and others, pursued the
parties who had fired at the soldiers. The boom of the men
who shot the soldier was burned down on the night of the
7th, which exasperated both Unionists and Secensionista,
cosh amusing the other of the deed. General Wright, the
military commander at San Fascism, telegraphed that all
the spars arms among the soldiers at Vim& be distributed
among the loyal °Siam, and despatched troops of cavalry
from Oweo's River to Visalia. Today ransoms are current
of Secession outbreaks in Santa Clara and Salem, 'counties
north and south of the bay respectively. Both counties
contain • large Secession element. The reports are
diecredited, but their ready circulation creates alarm.
Clitoral Wright telegraphed some days ago to Wasbiog•
ton for the government immediately to begin the new de-
fences of Sas Francisco, costing about 100,000 dole, but
has received no reply. Last night the city supervisors
voted the city's guarantee of repayment to any person who
would advance 200,000 dote. to enable the general instantly
to commence proper fortifiatio•s.
As far as heard from, the Legislature of Kentucky
stands se follows :—Conservatives : Senate, 31 ; home,
68 ; Copperheads, home, 2.
It is stated in the Southern papers that 10,000 dole. have
been nbeeribed for the benefit of the family of the late
General Albert Sydney Johodon, the members of which
are represented as being in great distress.

The subjoined despatches, from the American
papers, relate to military events :

Fortress Moans, August 11.

The steamer Flora left Port Royal ou the let last. At
11 p.m. of the same day she passed Charleston harbour, and
found • terrible bombardmeot of our night working
parties in progress. Fort Sumter and the batteries
on Morris Island were playing on the supposed
position of our forces with terrific fury. The can-
nonading wee continuous, and shells coursed through
the air in all directions, illuminating the sky with the buss
of fire, and by the terrible thundering of heavy guns, and
the bursting of shells, formed a scene of terrible grandeur
unsurpassed.

The Flora left the parties still engaged, and the miry
brilliant with rebel shells. The result of the affair or the
damages on either aide are unknown.

ing statement :
