(From the Times of this clay )
While the telegraph 'which is to' announce the
lembardment, of OdeSsa hangs. fire, and Prince
3-ortschakoff contents himself with informing the
British public that the allies have advanced a step
the way to Perekop, we are forced to .turn
o matters of minor importance, and to make some
)bservations on what has been-taking- place in'the
nrecious little kingdom-of - Greece, and on the be-
iaviour. of . Otho the ,Witless, whom. • England,
~ranee, and Russia', set up to 'rule over the land
vhich was to reflect all the glories of the'ancient
-Telias. We. must _ confess that the public are
iardly likely to interest themselves greatly in a
;:hlnge of ginisters in Greece. • The old conipari-
ion of a tempest in a teacup will occur td every one
,vho fa- the last few wesks has glanced over the
iccasienal eceounts of embroilments- between the
King, the Queen, General Kalergi, and M. Mavro-
ordato. "We Must, however, take events as they
occur. We cannot have a capture of Sebastopol
lvei7 day, and-therefore we must occasionally be
content with a miserable dish of Greek politics.
Chere is no need .to enter at length into the petty
intrigues which have ended with the dismissal of
the Minister .of War. Let it suffice to say that
.)ersonal enmities were the • chief motives of what

'tas happened, and that General Kalergi has no
reason to proclaim himself a martyr to liberty and
she cause, of the Western Powers. In times past
!very politician in this' little State enrolled him-
.elf in the ranks of some foreiarty;,..
_There waS
:he French party; the gdkp English, Russian, and Bi.va-

ian parties. The last seems pretty well extinct.
The Germans, who followed in the train of the new
Jellenie Majesty, found but scanty inducemen ts
o remain on so poor' a pasturage ; most of the m
,•eturned speedily to Fatherland, and they have ha d
hut few successors. Ten years ago there was a
;rent talk of the English party and the necessity of
reserving our influence at Athens; but Admiral
Parker's blockade destroyed this political section,
tnd there-is no reason to believe that we have Ad-
:ere:l by its extinction. M. Mavrocordato is now
ts solitary representative. There remain the Rus-
ian and French parties. The former includes the
King, the priests, and the great body of the peo-
)le ; the Queen and her Ladies of Honour are also
nthusiastie in their support. The French have
'iad the allegiance of the pure and patriotic Oppo-
sition, the men who denounced corruption because
hey did not profit, by it, and talked of reform un-
il they should rise to prolong the present system.
Bey do not seem to have been much valued by
-he present ruler of France, whose indifference to
heir virtues has sadly tried their attachment.
3-eneral Kalergi is certainly one of the most honest
if the number, but he is, afterall, only a hotheaded

,nd ambitious Greek, as fond of intrigue and per-
onal display as_the rest of his race. Having served
vial credit during the,revolution, and being well
cquainted with men and politics in Western Eu-
A)°, ho was raised to power by the influence of
he allies after the occupation of Athens last year.
,Vhether he has fulfilled their anticipations depends
ipon what they expected. His chief service has
'een the suppression Lf brigandage on the frontier ;
u other respects hi 4 career has been retharkable
.nly for a series of quarrels with the Kiug and
queen. The immediate cause of his downfall
said to be his familiarity with a lady at Athens.
Cho General wished her to be received at Ceurt ;
he Queen would consent only on condition that her
lusband accompanied her. 'Asa separation had taken
'lace this amounted to a refusal. Kalergi then wrOte
►letter to Mavrocord ato expressing his surprise that
queen Arrialia should decline to receive a lady for
itich, a reason,, and stating that he himself had been
ibliged to defend the Queen's honour on one
occasion. A duplicate of this letter he seems to
have sent to a French-paper. The natural consc-
pence was his dismissal, which need be a matter
)f regret to no one.

All that the Western' Powers desire is, that both
'King Aid people should keep themselves quiet and
brl ear from molesting their neighbours. This is
not a course which they may choose or neglect at
pleasure they have no alternative, for any dis-
turbance on the frontier will call down something
'core than the disapprobation of the allies. As re-
gards domestic politics and Court scandal Athens
nay be left to itself. The Helleneehave escaped
with strange impunity from the consequences of
last year's delinquency. Headed by the King and
Queen, the nation formed a crusade against the
authority of the, Sultan in
his own provinces. At
its inglorious close it was thought that some pe-
tity would be exacted which would deter them
_om another attempt. The Greeks, however, ob-
itinately refused an indemnity, declared that the
country was too poor to pay it, and succeeded in
inducing tne Western Governments to dissuade
the Porte from its claim. You cannot get blood
from a stone. However, as the relations of the
two countries were to be placed on a new basis, a
treaty was negotiated. Ottoman and Hellene
troops were to co-operate for the extirpation of
he brigands on the frontier. Otho's Minister for
Foreign affairs was to express his regret for past
events, and new commercial regulations were
made, giving mutual advantages to the two coun-
tries. As the commerce of both is in the hands of
Greeks, it is evident that the same race has been
benefited by the concessions of the Sultan and of
Otho. The Greeks have therefore turned theirin-
vasion to profitable account ; it is their habit, but
they must not think that they will be permitted to
renew their outrage. Whoever may be called to the
Royal counsels must acquiesce in the tranquillity
which the allies impose. So long as King Otho keeps
the peace we b ave no wish to interfere in the arrange-
ments of his Palace or his Cabinet. We have had

trouble enough with our own Bedchamber-women.
If it be a glory to be talked about, the Greeks
may be proud of their celebrity. No people in
recent times has inspired such hopes and
given such
trouble ; no people was formerly so much lauded or
is now so much abused. The affairs of Greece for
years filled as many columns in European journals
as the affairs of the United States. The habitual
state of the Government was a crisis, which the
representatives of the leading Powers of Europe
watched with due anxiety. All this is now past.
Ding Otho and his people no longer interest the
world. The Greeks have to regain a place in the
good will of Europe, and even their continued na-
tional existence must depend on the policy of the
Court. Our own direct relations with this small
kingdom will be few, but its intercourse with Tur-
key must daily increase. Christians of all sects,
but especially the Greeks, are gaining large sums
by the present war. While the Mussulman popula-
tion has been carried off by the conscription, and is
in certain parts hastening to extinction, the Chris-
tians are increasing in numbers, and many are
amassing fortunes which would be large even in,
England. The empire is ruined while the country
is enriched ; the power of the Sultan and his race
is gradually wasting as the subject people advance
in wealth and power. How to conduct the State
safely through these changes is a problem which
the Western Powers must solve. In this they will
probably have little assistance from the Hellene
Court and people, or from their co-religionists of
Roumelia and Asia Minor. All these entertain
views of supremacy which must divide them from
all sympathy with France and England. The allies,
however, will not relax from the strictness with
which they enforce their resolves, and, while they
view with indifference the fall of a Minister, they
will not allow any tampering with the policy which
it is their right to impose.

( Front the Morning Post of this day.)
The Foreign Minister of England has no more
difficult task than that of dealing with those small
States who take courage from their insignificance
to be utterly bad and mischievous. They are strong
enough to be thoroughly troublesome—they are
too weak to be punished without raising a terrible
cry of martyrdom. Their rulers are the prey of
reckless, and

Clever,
naught all ties of honour, gratitude, and patriot-
ism, and take their masters and patrons into situa-
tions whence they cannot escape without some
damage and a great deal of dishonour. Great Britain
has the happiness to be interested in more than one
of these, and certainly the meanest, most foolish,
is
and the most wicked among them, the Kingdom
of Greece, or, we should rather say, the Court of
Athens. • For 20 years have the Ministers of this
country borne with a patience—on the whole really
wonderful—the mischief and the violence into
which King Otho has been forced by bad influences.
At times they have been compelled to interfere,
and to show him strongly that England was deter-
mined to be treated with justice and respect.
It was not likely that the war with Russia should
fail to give the Greek Party, or rather the Camarilla
that rules Greece in its own manner, an oppor-
tunity of appearing in its peculiar colour`. The
vast scale upon which the war has been rapidly car-
ried on has taken the attention of the world
from toe misdoings of Greece, but it must not be,
forgotten that that country was early in the field
against Turkey; that, while professing neutrality

and enjoying its privileges, her Court connived at,
and, we believe, incited the flocking of men and
officers .to the Frontier Raids. It must be re-
membered, too, that' the 'only means by which
England and France could insure the respect
which they had a right to,demand, was by station-
ing'an armed force at Athens, and assuming the
slight material guarantee of a decided military oc-
cupation. Notwithstanding this security, we hear
now of a new difficulty at Athens—of a new act of
rashness and folly on the part of the Camarilla—of
a new blindness on the part of the King. The
Minister of War, General Kalergi, was one of the
most truly patriotic of the Mavrocordato Ministry.
He was the author Of the Revolution which, twelve
years ago, gave Greece a, 'Constitution which she
has not had the spirit, the vigour, or the cultiva-
tion to use with reality and effect. He did not
fiumber among his advantages that of being liked
by the King' and Queen. He 'had the full confi-
dence of the Western Powers. He had not the
good fortune of enjoying that of his own Court.
On the strength of a charge of writing offensive
remarks on. the proceedings of his Monarchs, the
dismissal of General Kalergi was demanded of
Mavrocordato, who replied that, if the General
went, the . whole Ministry went with him. The
matter was referred to the Ministers of the English
and French Courts, as to two of the protecting
Powers of Greece. They expressed the confidence
that they felt in the Mavrocordato ministry, and
endeavoured in vain to bring the King to reason.
He remained obstinate ; Mavrocordato resigned,
and there is now, we believe, a prolonged Minis-
terial crisis in Greece. The day after this resig-
nation, Mr. Wyse, as the elder of the two repre-
sentatives, waited on the King—explained to him
that nothing could be farther from the wishes of
both the Great Powers than any interference be-
tween him and his Ministers ; that he was at
liberty to dismiss and to choose whom he would as
advisers, but that the Western Powers having
learned, by a long experience, how mere a phrase
Constitution and Representative Government had
become in Greece, would henceforth hold the King,
who really possessed the sole guidance of affairs,
personally responsible for whatever might happen.
This warning is said somewhat to have perturbed
his Majesty, who has probably sense enough to
know that England and France are very much in
the habit of meaning what they say, and of carry-
ing out their expressed intentions. No substan-
tive Ministry is'yet reported. The Weitern Powers
have taken active measures for the observation of
the country, and are fully on their guard against
mischief. The Camarilla and the governing clique
are intensely delighted at having succeeded in an
intrigue, at having defeated, as they imogine, the
Western Powers, at having got rid of a patriotic
Minister, and an enemy to Russia, at having,
Heaven knows whom, in their hands, Heaven
knows what plan in their beads, to improve the in-
terests of Russia and to destroy the interests of
that unhappy Greece which lies at their mercy.
Such is our present situation with this miserable
Court of Athens, which has never done its duty in
the government of Greece. At the beginning of
the war with Russia we detected her in open vio-
lation of her neutrality. That offence we stopped,
and took precautions against its recurrence. We
have now the strongest symptoms of a repetition of
!the fault. Small though. Greece is, she has the
power, no less than the will, to do mischief in the
cause of Russia against the two Powers to whom
She stands so largely indebted ; and 'we hope that
those Powers will be prevented by no false deli-
cacy from measuring out to King Otho and his
Court, on the first sign of a relapse, on'the first re-
appearance of treachery, the strong treatment
which he most richly demands and deserves.
