Cobra, ALT So.—The want of money, which is
much felt in Greece, has the advantage of strongly
• attaching all classes to the soil, by the common in-
terest which is taken in the position of public affairs.
Many other considemlions, more or less important,
have induced the Greek Government to adopt a new
mode of paying the troops. It is intended to sub-
stitute payment in land fir pay in money. The
quantity of land which the Goverment will dispose
of in this manner is muen,e; the domains of the
sultan, and the tricoufr or church lands, embrace
alone two-thirds of the whole territory.
The following is the law constituting this new
method of pay, the novelty of which renders it cu-

by n decree dated the 2Gth of May, has confided to
the President of the Executive Power, Maurocortla-
tos, the civil and military direction of all the affairs
of Western Greece.
