THY REVOLUTION IN ORME.

(nos a ooaassmoinner.)
ATHENS, Oor. 24.
The telegraph will have apprised you before the
receipt of this letter of the meet important events
which have taken place here. On Saturday last
we were Informed that the garrison of Vonitas and
of Miasolonghi bad raised the standard of revolt,
and that the entire provinces of Acarnania and
Atelia had joined in the movement. On Tuesday
we learned that the garrison of Patras had followed
the example, and that a provisional government
had been proclaimed at that last town, under the
presideney of Ben iselos Raub's, a wealthy landowner
in the Peloponneens. It was then resolved that the
movement meditated fora long time should take place
at once in the capital ; and in the night of Wednes-
day last the army, together with the people of
Athena, assembled in the Place of Othe (which is
now cailed the Place of Liberty), and they declared
unanimously that Otbo was no more King of Greece,
antf Queen Amalie was no more Regent. According
to the leg of tks.99pst4 nta?n, toentral

-...gat ireireinmTencTrilie kingdom of-Greece was
proclaimed, with Bulgaria as president, and Canaria
and Beninlos Roufoe as members of the same, and
the convocation of a national assembly was decreed
for the purpose of electing the future King.
All that night passed with firing of muskets—as a
sign of jubilee—and with zetos for liberty. The
enthusiasm has not abated a jot up to this time ;
this day especially the excitement was greater than
ever, because Otho returned yesterday on board
the frigate Amelia to the Pirellis, not knowing any-
thing of recent events. The English and French
men-of-war, anchored in the Piraeus, signalled
the Amalie in the offing not to enter into that
port. The Greek man-of-war went then to
Ambilakia, in the Bay of Salamis, where
all the foreign ministers betook themselves without
loos of time. Otho kept them waiting about
half an hour. As soon as admitted into his
presence they told him that no hope
remained forhim, and that he ought to leave Greece.
Otho would not agree to this, replying that he was
beloved and wanted by the people ; and that it was
only the army that was against his government.
It is said that the Minister of Bavaria spoke then
to the King with greater force, trying to convince
him that there was no alternative, but that he
must go away ; and that the King then turned to
Count Mamiani, the Italian minister, and asked
him whether these events would have taken place if
he had been present at Athena and had not set out on
his tour 1 Count Mamiani assured him that his pre-
sence would not have altered the course of events,
but would perhaps have occasioned bloodshed.
The King replied that be would reflect whether he
ought to go or to remain. The Queen seemed greatly
moved.

The Provisional Government then sent Captain
Sachturi on board the Amelia, with orders to
Captain Palawan to deliver over to him the command
of the frigate. Palamas refused to obey the
Provisional Government and Saohturi returned to
Athens. Meanwhile the crew began to show symp-
toms of mutiny, and the Provisional Government
gave the King four hours to decide to embark
on board the English corvette Scylla, which was
anchored close to the Greek frigate, intimating
that after the lapse of that time they could not
assume any responsibility as to the personal se-
curity of the King and Queen. This communica-
tion hastened the decision of Otho, and embarking
on board the Scylla he left for Trieste ; the Greek
frigate passing immediately under the orders of the
Provisional Government. This news calmed
the multitude which had assembled in the
Piraeus in a state of great excitement. In the
capital, too, a great relief was felt when the news
of the departure of the King was spread by a
proclamation issued by the government.
Adhesions to the revolution were telegraphed
from Syrs, Nauplia, Chalcis, Calavryta, tkc.
The new ministry is composed of eight ministers :
Manghinas, Finances; Zaimis, Interior ; Comnoun-
douros, Justice ; Deligeorges, Public Instruction ;
Nicolopulo, Religion ; Diamantopulos, Foreign
Affairs ; Mavromichalis, War ; Callifronas, Marine.
All the Embassies have expressed their admiration
of the prudence and moderation of the Greek popu-
lation, which, in arms, for the last three days mixed
with the military, without a chief, with no disci-
pline or police, master of this town, firing right
and left in the air, have preserved the most
admirable order, confining themselves to some
shouts under the windows of the late ministers,
Simon and Spiro Mika. The Palace has been
respected, with the exception of its banner, which
has been torn. The first day some people entered
its gardens and cut some flowers and a few oranges.
That was the greatest disorder committed. The
Provisional Government have now posted sentinels
at its gates ; and a small garrison has been put into
the Palace, the rooms of which have been sealed.
The terrified gardener of the palace has been re-
commended at the same time to resume his peace-
ful occupation, which he has done at once.
Yesterday the Mistress of the Robes of the
Queen came from the Palace to the British Em-
bassy under the guidance of Mr. Scarlett. After a
while a royal carriage, full of as many boxes as she
could fill with the valuable effects of the King and
Queen, left the Palace without any escort, for the
British embassy. The carriage passed through the
crowd ; it was recognised, and everybody under-
stood what the contents were, but it was left to pass
unmolested, with only some shouts of contempt.
It may now be hoped that things will go on as
smoothly and as successfully in every respect. it is
expected that the National Assembly will be assem-
bled in thirty days, and that this well-begun revo-
lution will bear as good fruits as it seems to pro-
mise to the Greeks.

This moment, eight o'clock, the drums are hound-
ing the rappel, in order to enforce discipline upon
the soldiers, who having fraternised with the
people, are making holiday out of their barrack&

Loss or THE Haltom.= Sraatint—On Satur-
day intelligence was received of the loin of the Hercules,
scree steamer, while on her voyage from Dantric to
London. After leaving port she encountered the late fear-
ful gales in the North Sea, and was unable to make head-
way against the storm, as she had burnt all her coals. Her
rib; were blown away, her bulwarks partly carried off, and
the pumps choked by grain, with five feet water in the bold,
and rapidly increasing. Her crew, 23 in number, bad a
very narrow escape of going down the vessel After
undergoing much suffering they were picked up by the
Danish yacht Fortuna, but were nine days abort of food,
when the Falcon steamer, Captain Mason, fell in with
them, and brought them to Hull oa Friday.
