THE OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

A suppl went to the (14s,rrateur ,r_itli.rnetOli the
28th, publishes the diplomatic correspondence on
Greek affairs. The Obserroteur asserts that no
proposition was ever made by Baron Gros to the
Greek government, which, it says, would have ac-
cepted it whatever it might have been. It attributes
the hesitation of Baron Gros entirely to the doubt
which he entertained as to whether his government
would take upon itself the responsibility of ratifying
what he might have prepared. l'ne correspondence
commences with the following letter from Baron Gros
to M. Londe*, the Grtek Minister of Foreign Affairs,
dated April 23 :
The undersigned Minister Plenipotenticry, charged to
interpose te e good ilfiees of France to bring to an amicable
settlement the diffi recces which at present exist between
Greece and England, has the honour to make known to his
excellency M. Loudon, Minister of Fareign Allain of his
Hellenic Majesty, that, finding himself under the necessity
of waiting for fresh instructions, he must abstain from of-
['clot intervention in the questions which had given rite to
the interposition of his good (filets. The undersigned
having ntifie the same communication to the English mi-
nister begging him to maintain the ontu quo until the go-
vernment of her Britannic Majesty bad had di., time tomes
to whatever determination it might think proper, he has this
day nctivcd from the English ministor an answer which the
undersigned is units the painful necessity of communicating
to the enerantentof Lis Hellenic Majesty. The English
miaGecr hs, expressed to the undenigned the rsgnt he feels
is not bine able to comply with his wishes, his instructions
not permitting him to maintain the static qua in order to re-
fer to ris court under existing circumstances, and that it
was with sincere sorrow that he made k-own to him at the
same time the painful duty that remained for him to fulfil,
in 'Tunneling the Commander-it-Chief of the British
squadron to obtain the necessary meuures to obtain the
satisfaction demanded by the British government. It is with
the deepest sorrow that the undersigned makes a communi-
estion of this nature to the Minister of Foreign Attain of his
Hellenic Majesty, and he begs M. London to accept at the
cams time the sincere expression of his sentiments of high
consideration.

The government, says the Ofacrratorr, was oc-
cupied in the consideration of the resolutions it had
to take, when on the 24th the French steamer Vauban
touched at the Pirreus, b:ingieg despatches for M.
Thouvenel, the French minister, and Baron Gros. M.
Tricoupi had taken advantage of this means of com-
muLication to write to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs. It appeared to result from these different
informations that Lord Palmerston had manifested
more conciliatory intentions—that he had declared
that coercive measures should not be resumed without
orders, miler s the Greek government refused to ac-
cede to an arrangement proposed by Baron Oros, and
that in case of any dissent between that gentleman
and the English minister, it should be referred to
London. On the receipt of this news a ray of hope
appeared, bat the English minister, on being ques-
tioned by the French negotiator on the subject, re-
plied that his instructions did not admit of any delay,
and that coercive measures would recommence on the
25th. After the deliberations in the Chamber alluded
to by our correspondent, M. Loados addressed the
following note :
LONDOS TO TH3 ENOLIBH MINIBTILB.
The undersigned having been informed of the necessity
felt by Baron Gros, who haft been charged to lend the good
offices of the French Republic for the arrangement of the
differences which exist between the Greek and English go-
vernments, to welt for fresh instructions from his govern-
ment, and that Vice-Admiral Parker had already named
coercive measures, for the purpose of receiving satisfaction,
has the honour to request the English minister to make known
to him the conditions to which the Greek government must
accede in order to satiqy all the claims contained in the note
of Jan. 17, several of which cannot be fixed on as to the sum.
In answer to this the following was sent :
