The Saxon journals publish a memorial addressed
by the Dresden cabinet to the various German go-
vernments on the line of conduct which it has ob.
served with reepect to the invitation to ratify the
recent Daniell peace. The memorial is divided into
two parts, in the first of which the substance and pro-
visions of the treaty are dimmed; in the sec and the
proposed form of its ratification is considered.
The Saxon government sums up its conclusions
under three heads:

First, that the restoration of the statue qua ante, under
th• reservations of Art. 11. of this treaty, is, und.r present
circumstances, an admissible basis of peace;- but lndiy,
that a result of this agreement profitable to Germany and
the duchy a can only be I :petted if the confederated go-
vernments will undertake, in conjunction with the King of
Deninsrk, the reinstallation of that authority in the duchy
which rugs d before 1848, and reserve to the Bond the right
of interdicting the introduction of foreign troops for the
peeification of Holstein ; lastly, that under toese reserva-
tions, the Band should ratify the peace by a common reso-
lution. and at .he aims lime proclaim as its will and plea-
sure •hat the war in the duchies should ease. The Art.
xxyl. of the Vienna Slblussaste, and Art. VI. of the
Executive Ord:mince, would justify :his unclaimed interven-
ti min an incontestable lIIMIACIr.

Tt.e govt riiment then considers the mode of ratifica-
tion proposed by Prussia. The Vienna concluding
act, it contend., clearly marks out the Plenum as the
ratify log authority. Supp sing. further, but cot cd-
mhting, that, a plenum not existing, the assent of the
separate goverbments might be considered equivalent
to a resolution of the Plenum, the Prussian govern-
ment cculd hardly expect a successful issue for the at-
tempt to obtain this; it may with tolerable certaitty
be assumed that the treaty would not be approved
without exception, and the default of the pure and
simple approval of any one government would vitiate
the ratitkation. Only one course appetre to the
Ssxoti government to be lef. open, namely, the sub-
mission of the treaty to the Plenum for ratifi-
cation.

ATHENS, Arorter 8.
The past week has been a most exciting one for the
inhabitants of the capital, having had several most
interesting subjects to discuss. First and fore-
most the grand question of the union of the two
churches, or rather, the formal recognition of the
church of the kingdom of Greece by the Patriarch of
Constantinople : secondly, the passing of the budgets
of 1830 and 1831, and the question of a regency in
the absence of King Otho, who is going to Clermay
for some time. The following article is from a minis-
terial paper called the EC3oomr (Week), and gives the
history of the whole ministerial change :
Oar readers are aware of the impatience with which the
whole Oreek public looked forward to the arrival of our
minister from Constantinople, aocompanie d by the Arehi-
mandrice Apostolides. Hardly had the French steamer of
the '_'9th of July cast anchor is the Pirania, when three of
the ministers went in haste to have an interview with ',Curs.
Delhijanni and Apneto:ides (in the parlatorio of the qua-
rantine ,rnund), whera they had the " holy volume" and all
the documt nts read, as well as the proceedings of the great'
chtach of Chris,. Atter a long int • the Misisters of
the Interim. and Public Worship expressed themselves per-
fectly satisfied, but not so M Lando.. On the Ist of the
month they took pratique, and the semis day were presented
to his Majesty, and delivered to his Majesty all the e rights'
duturninta, and M. Delhijanni remained then for two hours
with its Majesty.
Ou the 30th July the ministry presented the budget for
1861 (having only passed a few days before that of MO). It
was sent down to the oommittse and finally carried on the
4th of August.
Whibt the public were enraged about the eoclesiaerieal
question, and intrigues were carrying on ageism the passing
of the budget, the King sant for his ministers on the evening
of the Slat July and informed them that his health on the
one hand, end affair■ important to the stets on the ether,
required that he should immediately set out for Bavaria, and
that he wished in the meanwhile to leave the re gency in the
hands of his august consort, Queen Amelia. Mt sots London
and Chryangelos opposed the regency. The ministers wets
amembled next day in, when M. Londie retired, refusing
to agree to it; and M. Chryangeles retired, saying he would
take it into consideration. The next day these two ministers
sent in their resienation of all the mini tries they held. The
King immediately accepted their resignation, and ordered
the Minister of the tensor to present the hit ror the regency
Ss the chambers. On the 4:h accordingly, after passing the
budget, the Minister of the Interim read the bill, and it im-
mediately passed nem cots.
