A letter from Vichy says The Emperor and
the King of the Belgians have attended the mueioal
performance at the Casino, and were received, on
their arrival, by M. Callon, director of the thermal
establishment of Vichy. Among the artists who
took part in this representation were M. CArre de
Hauteville, violinist, M. Henry Kowolski, 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 Emperor and King Leopold were present on
the 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 uke de Morny's estate in the Allier.
In the evening there was a grand fete et 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'Avvergne, French am-
bassador in London, has arrived in Paris. Lady
Cowley, with her daughter and Lord Sidney, were
in the same train.

the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, has left for Swit-
zerland on leave.

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
survivorswar of independence from 1821.1829,
desired
a
meetinghe
in the interest of this handful of
t
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 11Iajesty 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
Minister of War to defray the expenses of a few
additional gendarmes he had found it requisite
to employ in repressing brigandage daring the
recent vacation, There was not the slightest rea•

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 Ministry resigned in a
body.

not delayed until the arrival of the lonian members.
It is believed now that this will take place upon the
27th. At present they are all assembled at Zante,
under the presidency of M. Lombardo, to come to
an understanding upon the line they shall adopt in

reported to be about to put forward Bulgaria. More

eye, for the President elect, as chief of the majority,
