GREECE.

A letter from Athens of the lab, in the
Nouve//iste of Marseilles, says :

"M. Spiro Milios, ex-Minister of War, has, at
the demand of the Minister, been impeached be-
fore the Chamber of Dep-aties. In reply to a ques-
tion, the President of the Council of Ministers has
declared that it was quite true that the eifference
with the Porte was approaching its termination.
The news of the death of the Emperor of Russia caused
the greatest consternation in this city. The Russian party
at first endeavoured to throw discredit on the account, by
affirming that it was not the Emperor, but the Empress
that was dead, but the truth was soon ascertained.
Brigandage, although for a moment checked, appears to
be again gaining ground in Greece. On the very night
that the news of the Czar's death reached this city, a
band of about 40 men, under a noted chief named
Passayottis, placed themselves in ambush at about
half an hour's distance from the capital at a place
where the roads from adjoining villages meet, and
by which the country people brought their produce'
to market. Every one that passed was stoppei
and. robbed. The men were beaten, and the women
taken into an old church by the roadside and most
shamefully treated. The number stopped and robbed by
these ruffians before they dispersed was upwards of 200.
While this was going on some other brigands made a de-
monstration in another point, to draw off the attention
of the armed force."

The Oost. Deutsche Post of yesterday evening
.stated that, on the 21st, Spain and Portugal had
joined the great coalition against Russia, but some
doubts are entertained as to the con ectness of the
news, in as far as the first-mentioned country is
concerned. Official confirmation relative to Portu-
gal has, however, been obtained this afternoon.
We learn from Trieste that the Russians have again
permitted Austrian vessels to run up to Galatz,
where considerable q uantities of corn are lying ready
for exportation. The ships of no other nation enjoy
the same privilege. It is also related here that a
note has been received from Count Nesselrode, in
which that statesman states that it is not the inten-
tion of the Russian Government to prevent the
navigation of the Lower Danube. The Russian
Minister, however, requires that the Austrian Mi-
nister of Commerce shall exercise a proper control
over the commanders of the merchantmen, so that
they shall not supply provisions to the Powers at
war with Russia. It need not be said that the
thing is not feasible.

The Universal German Gazette states that a
note, dated the Ist, has been addressed by Count
Nessehod° to the Cabinet of Vienna, declaring
that Russia has no intention of preventing Aus-
trian vessels from navigating the Danube, but that
tho measures lately taken were intended to prevent
the conveyance of contraband of war to the forces
of the Allied Powers.

The Trieste Gazette of the 20th publishes a tele-
graphic despatch from Bucharest, announcing that
Russia has, by way of exception, granted permis-
sion to Austrian vessels to export corn of 1853,
provided the nationality of the vessel be satisfac-
torily proved, and caution-money be deposited with
the consuls, as a security that the grain is intended
for an Austrian port.

The King of the Belgians yesterday received
the Russian Gen. de Budberg, charged with the
mission of announcing to his Majesty the accession
of the Emperor Alexander 11. The King intends
to send in return Gen. Chazal, his aide-de-camp, on
a mission to St. Fetexaburg.
