M. EYNARD, THE PHILHELLENE AND THE GREEK
LOAN.—In consequence of the reproduction by the French
press of some observations in a London j urinal on the propo-
sition made by M. Ernard to advance fut.& to the Greek
government, to enable it to pay the interest of the portion of
the loan guaranteed by England, that gentleman has pub-
lished copies oils tars which be wrote on the subject to the
President of the Council of Ministers of Greece, and to the
Governor of the Bank of Greece. Both letters are dated
Paris, 3rd May. The first to the President of the
Council commences by stating, that he had isslned
that the English government had, in compliance
with its strict right, demanded payment of the last
half year's interest of the loan it bad guaranteed •.
but he says he had hoped that Great Britain, a unties
always grand and generous, would have show° the same
benevolence towards Greece as France and Russia, by con-
senting to accord a delay. He then says that he has the con-
viction that if time be left to Greece to consolidate her insti-
tutions, she will soon be enabled to pay a part of the in-
terest, and to give every sentrance of the payment of the
capital of the loan ; but that to compel immediate payment
will deprive her of the resources necessary for the develop-
ment of her prosperity. and render the augmentation of her
revenues impossible. D.eirous, from his love to Greets, to
render her a service, he offers, he says, in case no arrange-
ment with the English government should have ben
made previous to the rec. ipt of his letter, to advance the
Greek government the half-year's interest demanded
and for that purpo,e he says that he opens to the director of
the bank a credit of 500,000 f. on Messieurs Delessert and M.
Wier, of Paris. He then congratulates Greece on the sue-
r:en of the National Bank, and recommends the government
to follow the example of France and England, by employing
order and regularity. in all the branches of public revenue.
He says that all parties and all opinions are anxiety; for the
consolidation of Greece, and that everywhere he had found
benevo'ent Ceilings manifested towards her, especially in
France.—The letter to the director of the Greek Bank autho-
rises hies to draw on Paris for the 500,0001.; but he says that
in consequence of the financial crisis, he should be Lapey to
find that Greece has not need of the whole sum. He repeats,
that the disbursement of the whole amount would incon-
venience him, but states that if England insists on payment,
the whole amount may be drawn the.
GERMANY.—Partasis.—Beiturr, MAY 13.—The
representative chamber was engaged on the 7th inst. with
the discussion of M. Heinemann's amended form of process;
the chamber of the noble" on the Bth with the declaration of
the liberal deputies. The debates on M. Hansemann's
motion were not concluded when the session of the deputies
broke up, and were to be resumed on the s'h. The debate
in the nobles was opened by the marshal with the intimation
that the declaration of the 137 deputies had been transmitted
to them as a subject which ought to be discussed in joint-
meeting of all the estates. His opinion was, that
the motion ought to be rejected as beyond the
competence of the diet. Prince Ly.chnowski was
of opinion that the nobles had no right to sit in
judgment on the declaration. It was not one of the subjects
referred by the law to the combined court, and ae an affair
of the Deputies of the three Estates ought to be adjudged
upon by them and by them alone. Count Arnim declared
hen acquiescence in the view taken by the marshal, butwisbed,
however, to add something to his motion to prevent miser,-
prehension. The count's motion was unanimously adopted,
and was in effect that the Estate of the nobles did not re-
gird the subject of the declaration as one for a combined
court; and that they did not acknowledge the right of either
of the courts of which the diet is composed, to resolutions
condemning any part of the ordinanceillegal in virtue of which
both court,. sit. The nobles, after this vote, proceeded to the
consideration of the law far the exclueien of disreputable
characters from the diet, in which some progress was made
before rising. A report prevails that the king has approved
of the decmon of the marshal of the three representative
estates on the petition relating to the nationality of Posen,
but at the same time expressed his intention to give the
deputies of that province a private audience on the subject.
Nothing of this, however, has yet appeared in the When'
reports.
The Journal de Frankfort publishes a COMMIIDiOII-
- Berlin, dated May 7, to the effect that the diet is
I to be prorogued at the end of the month till October; and
that the law on the press is not to be presented till the da-
ting, are reopened.
