LONDON, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 13, 1855.

Her Majesty Queen AMALIA has at length sue-
ceeded in ejecting from office an obnoxious Minis•
ter. General KA LERGI, Minister of War at Athens,
was so unfortunate as to excite the Royal displea-
sure, whether on public or private grounds it is
difficult to say ; but probably both were in some
degree conceived. As her MAJESTY has long been
celebrated as a Philo-Muscovite, desirous by every
means in her power of advancing the interests of
the head of her Church—the Greek Pope—it is
probable that the causes which led to the decided
animosity towards the unlucky Minister were
chiefly attributable to political feelings. He had
also defended the Royal hom Int on some occasion
when it had been impugned. And this, for some
reason, was a source of anuor ince to her MAJESTY,
who, like our own MA.wwc atm, " likes to be
abused !"

The exciting cause of this deadly, and inexor-
able hatred of the Minister, .is, however, of com-
paratively trivial importance.. That it was felt
in the utmost intensity by oie QUEEN is certain,
and—

" Tantene animis cdestibus ire,"

that she was willing to encounter any risk for the
gratification of her vengeance, is equally indisput-
able. When her mind was fixed on any point
there could not be much doubt that she would
speedily bias that of her Royal. Consort in the same
direction. Accordingly, the ignominious dismissal
of General KALERGI was therefore urgently de-
manded of M. MAVROCORDA TO. He, however,
hesitated. He was well aware of the value of the
services of his gallant colleague. He knew that
the removal would be extremely displeasing to
the Western Powers, who had previously grave
cause of complaint respecting the Royal conduct,
and felt that without the assiistance of his col-
league he could not carry on the Government
with credit to himself or advantage to the country.
He therefore declared that he must participate in
the fate of General KALERGI, and that his own
resignation should accompany that of the Minister
of War, if insisted on. We believe that diplo-
matic influence was not wanting to explain
and point out to the misguided Monarch
the danger which ho would incur in adopting
such a coup d'etat. But " the White Serjeant
prevailed, and Orno dared not retrace his foot-
sterps, although fully warned on the subject. The
consequence is a Ministerial crisis at Athens—
" a storm in a washing-tub"-----and there is no
knowing to what lengths the matter may proceed,
unless the Krvo, who owes his throne to Prance
and England, should have the manliness, ere it is
too late, to shake off the petticoat government,
and to rescue the Royal troisiemes from the firm
grasp of Queen A-ArAmA.

It is needless to say that the Western Powers
have no inclination to interfere in the
private squabbles and petty intrigues of
these " Brummagem " Courts, and that
their only object can be to enforce a strict neu-
trality, and to prevent King Onto and his con-
fidential advises from injuring the great cause in
which they are now engaged. Without their
protection the Lilliputian King could not retain
his throne for a single week, and it is rather too
bad that he should, through any influence what-
soever, be induced to act against those to whom
he is indebted for his position. It may flatter
his vanity, or rather . that of " his better half,"
for hers is the paramount influence, to think that
he can create a diversion in favour of his auto-
cratic friend by adding to the difficulties of
Turkey, but it would be a great piece of folly on
the part of the Allies were they to permit him to
do so. They have prevented the Great Northern
Bear from so doing, and they cannot permit his
insignificant companion to create or foment dis-
turbances very injurious to the tranquillity of
Europe. Ile has already been let off very easily, and
as he has chosen to set aside at his mere will and
pleasure everything bearing the semblance of
constitutional or representative Government, he
must personally bear the responsibility which,
through his misconduct, can no longer rest on his
Ministers. On this point our excellent and effi-
cient representative to the Court of Athens has
spoken dixtinckly and unequivocally. Mr. WYsE
has very judiciously not minced the matter with
King Orso, but has clearly explained the pos-
sible consequences of the course on which he;
