GREECE.

A portion of the intelligence contained in the fol-
lowing letter of our correspondent appeared in Fart
of yesterday's impression of the Expreu :
ATHkNB, APPAL 28.
I am happy to announee to you that the Greek
question is definitively settled, and the blockade re-
moved. On the 21th init. Baron Gros, finding that
King Otho still refused to admit even the principle I
of the demands of the EMlish government, declared
that he would have nothing more to do with the
question, and sent word to Mr. Wyse to that effect.
He also intimatel to the French ambusador that his
mission had ceased. The French ambaasador then
put himself in communication with Mr. Wyse and
Sir William Parker. On the 25th, at noon, Sir W.
Parker again declared the Firma' and all the other
ports of Greece in a state of blockade. This step
alarmed the ministry, who called an extraordinary
meeting of the Chamber, which took place with amp d
doors. I am informed that during this sitting the
president was asked what support Greece could ex-
pect from France and Russia, and that he candidly
replied—none at all, for they had been convinced of
the justion of the demands of the British government.
This admission produced great excitement, amidst
which the ministers came in for a considerable share
of abuse, for the injury done to the country by their
obstinacy.
The ministry then decided upon entering into direct
negotiation with Mr. Wyse. To this end M. Londos
wrote to the British minister, requesting to be in-
formtd what had ciused the negotiation with Baron
Oros to be broken off, and what were the definite
demands of the English government. To this letter
Mr. IVyse replied that-1. Tee Greek government
will pay down the sum of 180,000drachnias (8,5000,
the amount of the indemnities and compensations due
to divers English and lonian subjects ; the amount
claimed by X Pecifico, as the result of his demands
urn the government for the deeds destroyed at the
pillage of his house, is not comprised in this sum.
2. 'free Greek government will deposit the sum of
150,000 drachmas (3,4000 in the hands of Mr. Wyse,
or give security to that amount, to reimburse M.
Pacifico for the damages which he will prove to have
suffertd by a delay in the possession of his demands.
3. Toe Greek government will express its regret in
writing for the in,ult offered in Petral. in 181 e, to
the officere of her Majec'y's brig of war Fantome.
After a brief but recriminating debate, these de-
mands were accepted, and the Minister of the Interior
publo•lied the following circular :
To the Nomarks and Eparks of the State.—Ym have no
doubt learnt from private letters and the journals of the
re-:animencemen• of hostilities by the English fl-et. The
government, gentlemen, considering that the interests of the
country command it to pile an end to the lamentable differ
fences, is now engaged in removing exiting dificultiee.
I am happy to inforiu you that every thing has li. en arranged
between the governments of Greece and Studied, that all
coercive measures have ceased, and will nlt again be put in
force. Yoe will immediately make this news known to the
inhabitants of the Communes in your district, to the intent
to tranquillise their minds.
Athens, April 27, IsiO. G. NOTANIS.
Thus hen ended the grand farce of three months' du-
ration, to the experee of England and the disgrace of
Graeae. It is is said that the English fleet will shortly
leave fur Malta. Yon can have no idea of the joy which
universally pervaded Athens when it was known V at
the ministry had acceded t 3 the demands of Mr.
Wyse ; the people's eyes were opened, and, bad not
the millibars acted as they did, there would have been
an outbreak.

M. Landes will remark that on the only article which can
admit of any reduction, that is to say the losses of M. Paci-
fico, a considerable diminution (more than a third of the total
sum) has been made on a memorial presents(' by that gen-
tleman. It has required all my efforts to in:tme M. Paci-
fica to accept the WOO above specified. I was led to make
these efforts by the strong desire felt by the British govern-
ment not to demand anything bat what is strictly just.
As It is difficult to know in Grotto the e ant value (4 the losses
supported now by M. Pacifico, is consequence of Ilde &ulnae-
don of these papers, that part of his claims is not comprised
in the sum above-mentioned ; but the undersigned will be
satisfied if the Greek government will, at the Pam. time,
mad to add to Spasm, place In his hands (in the quality of
wiskilkis of her Britannic Majesty) another
sena or maturities for such a mem. The go.
versant of her Britannic Majesty, and that of hie Hellenic
Majesty, will immediately cause an investigation to Do made
to ascertain the sums which are to be recognised due to M.
Pacific,, by the Portuguese government, but of which M.
Pacifico could not receive payment, in consequence of the
destruction of kis papas. That Investigation will be torsi-
nated within a given time; and, if It results that M. Paeifico
had no right to claim but s sum less than 160,000dr., the
surplus would be then returned to the (Leek government. If,
on tae contrary, M. Pacifico had a right to a sum greater than
th• 150,000dr., the Greek government would then have to
give the difference. The undersigned demands also that the
Greek government formally engages not to address any de-
mand, nor to support those of third parties against the
government of her Britannic Majesty on the subject of the
Ware aid damage accruing from the measures adopted by
the rquadrou of her Msjesty on this recision. The under.
signed does not doubt that the government of his Hellenic
Majesty eill respond to the frank manner with which he
has, without delay and without negotiation hid before; the
Greek government the meat favourable conditions' to which
he can consent. The conditions are offered in the rim hops
that the Greek government, appreciating the moderation
shown by Great Britain, will at once place the undersigned
in a condition to deliver the Greek cAnmerce from the co-
! create measures which at present press on it. But the under-
signed think it necessary positively to declare that the advan-
tages offered at this moment are only made on the c mditiona
which have been proposed, and that, if aims delay should be
manifested in incepting the conditione, the Greek govern
ment must not be surprised to see the concesaiens made on
this moment withdrawn at a later rebel.

The undersignsd Minister Plenipotentiary to the King ,
of Greece, Las the honour to acknowledge the reception of
the note in which M. Londoe, rilio.s•er of Foreign Affairs to

from the undersigned, under yesterday's data. In ocum-
quence of the note of M. London, the embargo oa the
Pirete won immediately ordered to be raised a signal
from the admiral's vend; from this moment the nudge-
signed has reason to hope that a satisfactory arrangement
msy be easily concluded, Vies-Admiral Sir W. P .rker hav-
ing countermanded the orders for the bl ekaile of the 0100 f
p its of Greece. The undersigned hope that the p:euipt
:ultilment en the part of the Greek government of
the remaining formalities will enable; him to engage Vice- !
Admiral Sir W. Porker to release the vess:ls detained, end
to resume those friendly relation which the vv. lament of
her Britannic Majesty wishes to maiutain towards the King
of Oree ce.

Here follows a tote of M. Lori(los to Mr. Wyse,
expressing the regret of his gorcrinl at relative to
the arrest of an officer of her Majesty's ship Fantome,
and pronouncing the censure of the (heck govern-
ment upon the persons who committed that outrage.
The foLowing is from M. Londos to Mr. Wyse, dated

MALTA, MAT 2.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Ripon came in yesterday, at 8.30 a.m. from South-
ampton and Gibraltar, d proceeded on to Alexan-
dria at 8 p.m. Iler Majesty's steamer Merlin, with

settlement of the Greek question, much to the joy of
the numerous Greek captains who have been lying
here for some time in a state of doubtful anxiety.
The publication of the correspondence of Mr. More
()Terr e! respecting the Italian refugees has occasioned
no small sensation here. I hear that some hundred
of the liberal-minded Maltese are getting up a memo-
rial to Lord Grey, in support of the Protestant petition
respecting the punisinnents for offeaces against reli-
gion, and that the Jesuit. are furious at the idea of it.
