GREECE.

We have dates from Athena to May 2. The French
an-of-war steamer Le Solon, which arrived there on
the 30th April, took out despatches from the Minister
of Foreign Affairs at Pane to Baron Once, and among
them • copy of the convention drawn up in London
by ViscolintPalmeraton,l4. Dronyn de and
Baron Brunow, on the 18th of ApriL The following
is • literal copy of the convention :

The government of her Britannia Majesty and the govern-
ment of his Mennen Majesty being engaged in a difference
resulting from certain claims relative to losses and injuries
sustained by English sad losian subjects ha Orman, men-
tioned in the note prnented by her Britannic Majesty's
minister oa the 17th January, 1850, and the government of
the French npablie having offered its good offices, which
have beea accepted ea both sides by Mr. Wyse and M.
Landes, named plenipotentiaries to ;hat effect, being met at
thoPireiss, in the presence of M. L. Ores, French plenipoten-
tiary, have agreed that, the said claims having been duly
examined, shall be settled by an amicable arraegement, so.
cording to the following coeditions :
" I. It Is agreed that the sass of 8,6001., destined to liqui-
date the above demands and indemnities, shall be imme-
diately placed by the Hellenic government in the hands of
the Eagirsh minister at Athens, to be distributed by him to
the different claimants.
" 2 Upon payment of the said suniby the Greekgovern-
mat, the Greek merchant ships, previously detained by the
English cruisers, shall be immediately given up.
3. The government of her Britannic majeety having
complained of the meet of an officer of the royal uavy and
of sailors belonging to the crew of the Fantasise man-of-war,
and the government of his Hellenic Majesty being desirous
of showing its regret for the mieeoneepticas which caused
that arrest, it is agreed that this complaint shall be con-
sidered as satisfied, by 1114111111 et a letter which the Greek
Minister for Foreign Affeirs will address for that object to
the Mininer of Great Britain.

" 4. Upon receipt of that letter the Greek ships, provi-
sionally detained, shall be immediately given up.
"ti. By means of the conditions laid down as above- I.
mentioned, all the claims specified in the note of the 17th
of January, specified in the preamble of the present
convention, are declared extinct, with the exception of
that of Signor Pacifico, concerning the loss of certain dace.
moots relative to the debts which be had to substantiate.
against the Portuguese government. That portion being of
• nature to require ulterior inquiry, two arbitrators and •
super-arbitrator shall be named aa soon se possible by M.
taros, Mr. Wyse, and M. Loodoe, to make these inquiries.
The Hellenic government engages to pay to Signor PliCifiO3
a just indemnity, if it results tram these inquiries—a proof
that the Portuguese government admits the principle of
some of these chime, and only refuses payment because
Signor Pacifies cannot produce .the titles which have been
carried off, or destroyed, when his house was pillaged.
"6. The prop peals contained in the above articles shall be
put into exoeution immediate'7 after the signing of the pre
sent convention, without waiting for a ratification.
"7. The claim relative to the loan guaranteed by the
there powers, and to the islands of Sapienza and Corvi, are
not included in the present arrangement."

On the afternoon of the 28th a letter was received
from Mr. Wyse, in which he renewed diplomatic
relations with the Greek government, and on the
same day the Greek merchant ships, as well as vessels
of war which had been captured by Admiral Parker,
were set at liberty.
By the French steamer of the 28:h of April Mr.
Wyse received despatches from Viseount Palmerston,
in which the conduct of the British minister is ap-
proved of in every particular, no mention being made
of the intended convention of which Baron Gros
received notice from his government on the
24th, and an official copy of which, with all the
necessary instructions, the French plenipotentiary re-
ceived on the 30th. The Quen's messenger, which
Lord Palmerston promised the French and Russian
ambassadors to send to Mr. Wyse after the conven-
tion had been agreed on, left London on the 19th of
April, azd arrived at Athens on the morning of May
2. de thus made the journey in 14 days, with des-
patches of one dvy's later date than those brought by
the French steamer, which arrived at the Pima on
the 30th.

Since the 28th of April no communication had
been made by Mr. Wyse, either to the Greek govern-
ment or to any member of the diplomatic body. On
the 29th April Mr. Wyse, accompanied by his suite,
returned to Athens, and took up his residence at the
British Legation. When Lord Palmerston's courier
arrived on the morning of the 2nd, Mr. Wyse and his
friends were oa the point of starting on • party of
pleasure to Phyle. As the party set out on this ex-
pedition a few minutes after the receipt of the des-
patches from the Foreign-office, it is to be pre-
sumed that they contained nothing of any importance.
Mr. Wyse was to have au audience of his Majesty
King Otho in a few days, to announce the death of
Queen Adelaide.
