A letter from Vichy says :—" The Emperor and
the King of the Belgians have attended the musical
performance at the Casino, and were received, on
their arrival, by M. Callou, director of the thermal
establishment of Vichy. Among the artists who
took part in this representation were M. Cane de
Hauteville, violinist, M. Henry Kowalski, pianist,
with Mmes. Ugalde and Frasey, singers. The open •
ing of the Horticultural Exhibition of the Allier,
got up under the auspices of the Prefect of the
department, M. Lemasson, has just taken place.
The E.-a/peror and King Leopold were present on
..ne occasion, and passed some time in examining
the different products exhibited. The King par-
ticularly remarked a box of cherries sent by the
steward of the D ake de Murny's estate in the Allier.
In the evening there was a grand fete at the
Ardoisere." The Emperor will, it is said, return
to Paris from Vichy on the 6th.
The Emperor has received letters from the Elector
of Hesse accrediting M. de Goeddaus as his resident
minister at the French Court.

The Prince de La Tour d'Auvergne, French am-
bassador in Londcn, has arrived in Paris. Lady
Cowley, with her daughter and Lord Sidney, were
in the same train.

The Marquis de Banneville, political director at
the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, has left for Swit-
zerland on leave.

" We are informed," says the Temps," that Lord
Clarendon is not going to Vichy, as reported, but to
Wiesbaden."

Resignation of the Greek Ministry.

[REUTER'S EXPRESS ]
ATHENS, July 23.

It was not thought likely that the Assembly
would meet again before new blood had been infused
into it by the arrival of the lonian members. The
day before yesterday, however, the committee
charged to report upon the bill for pensioning the
survivors of the war of independence from 18214829,
desired a meeting in the interest of this handful of
aged patriots. The house met yesterday, but the
bill was, after all, postponed. The matter next taken
in hand was the appointment of a chief of the
National Guard. It will be recollected that the
Assembly had determined that the officers of this
force should elect a candidate, who was to receive
the royal sanction. It appeared that this decision
had not been laid before the King for signature,
being, in point of fact, really an infringement of the
prerogative. Notwithstanding the protests of se-
veral members, who were anxious to point out that
his Majesty had the right of veto, the Assembly
fixed a period of three days within which the bill
was to be submitted for signature, or the Ministry,
not doing so, Should offer an explanation of its
conduct.

The Assembly then entered upon another matter,
which led to a totally
unexpected result, entailing,
in fact, the resignation of the Ministry. A request
for a supplementary credit was brought in by the
gendarmesr Ia i o heg
brigandage had
during the
Minister of War to defray the expenses of a few
additional
to employ
in
repressing
pe
recent vacation. There was not the slightest rea-
son to expect that the credit would be refused, the
expenditure having been slight and quite indispen-
sable to public safety. Both parties in the Chamber,
however, regarded the affair in a different light to
that of the Government. The Minister of War was
accused of having acted unconstitutionally, and after
almost unanimously rejecting the credit (20 votes
only being recorded in its favour), both parties
united in reproaching the Government for the fault.
Two hours afterwards the iqinistry resigned in a
body.

It is believed now that this will take place upon the
an understanding upon the line they shall adopt in
the Assembly, when both parties—Mountain and
Plain—hope to attract the new recruits to their
banners. It is hardly to be expected that the entire
84 will act strictly together. Some ten or a dozen
will probably join the Opposition, the remainder
going over to the Mountain under the lead of
Canaria. It is with this hope indeed that the Moun-
tain party intends to propose Admiral Canaria as
Ptesident of the Assembly, while the Opposition is
reported to be about to pat forward Bulgaria. More
importance is attached to this matter than meets the
eye, for the President elect, as chief of the majority,
will be called upon to construct the new Cabinet.
