STATE OF GREECE.

The Nouvelliste de Marseilles publishes the fol-
lowing, dated Athens, Sept. 12 :
"The Ministers of England and France received four
days ago the so-impatiently expected reply of their
Governments relative to the Kalergi affair. Their firm
and energetic conduct has met with full approbation, and
they have been instructed to maintain the manly posi-
tion they have assumed in their subsequent negotiations
with the Greek Court. In compliance with those in-
structions, Messrs. Mercier and Wyse bad an interview
on Sunday evening, at the English legation, with Messrs.
Mavrocoidato and Kalergi, to whom they declared that,
although the continuance of the General in office was,
in their opinion, extremely desirable, and even neces-
sary, the two allied Sovereigns had no intention to
encroach on the King's power of himself choosing his
Ministers. They further stated that his Maje-ty was
at perfect liberty in that respect, provided the appoint-
ment was in accordance with the exigencies of the policy
of the Western powers, as well as the real interests of
the country, particularly at this moment. On the other
hand, they added as a corrective that if the Sovereign
persisted in his determination to dismiss General Kalergi
the two Cabinets would require positive guarantees, in
anticipation of the fatal and imminent consequences
which must attend the accomplishment of that measure.
The President of the Council was requested to submit
their communication to the King, in order that
his Majesty might in his wisdom decide on the
course to be puesued, after which the Ministers
of England and France would be ready to treat the
question at issue conformably to their new instructions.
The King returned no direct reply, but expressed a wish
to confer with Messrs. Wyse and Mercier, and to be in-
formed previously of the nature of the reserved condi-
tions. Those gentlemen, however, did not think proper
to gratify those desires, observing that by their acqui-
e.cence they might, on the one band, derogate from the
Royal initiative ; and, on the other. depart from the line
they were instructed to fellow. M. Mavrocordato ac-
quitted himself of these two misAions, hut nothing has
since transpired relative to the probable issue of the affair,
which excites the most intense interest Everybody en-
deavours to ascertain the nature of the guarantees re-
ferred to. The Ministers have kept them a profound
secret ; but, without presuming to elucidate the matter,
