GREECE.

The Athens journals of the 27th give a gloomy ac-
count of the state of Greece.
In the sitting of the Chamber at Athens on the 21st
ult., M. COUMOUNDOURAKIB said that the famine
with which the country was afflicted, the bad crops
of last year, and the failure of the currants, had
thrown the people into a very critical situation. A
want of broad was general, which proved that the
resources of Greece were very limited. Money was
also:very scarce, and produce was obliged to be sold at a
very low price. The harvest of next year must be a
very
abundant one in order to repair all the misfor-
tunes which were now felt. When it is remembered
that the incomes of the proprietors are not suffi-
cient to procure them the means of properly
cultivating their land, it.
-- may be expected
famine of this year
that the will have very
extended consequences. The cultivation of the
land will be necessarily imperfect for want of
sufficient capital, a large extent will be left in fallow,
and consequently the next harvest can only be a
moderate oue. But suppose that it should be a bad
one, the mischief would then be without bounds, and
the Treasury
would experience immense losses. Pru-
dence dictated the necessity of having recourse to im-
mediate measures of relief, and M. COUMOUNDOII-
RAKIS therefore proposed that the Government should
assist the landed proprietors and
the agricultural in-
terests by a loan. M. LTSANDRE
, ILAETI, after ex-
amining the difference between the commercial ex,
ports and imports, and observing that the resources of
the country were eaten up by
usury, insisted on the
necessity of devising means for attracting foreign capi-
tal to Greece. He supported the proposition. The
discussion was adjourned.

A letter from. Patras states, that in addition to the
Poles which had been expelled from Greece, the Go-
vernment were devising means to remove the small
number of Italians which still remained there, and
some of them had already received an intimation to
that effect.

We learn from Bosnia that the new Vizier, VSLIED.
VIN PACIJA, had arrived at Serajevo ; he immediately
visited the prison?, and was greatly shocked at the
scenes which be there witnessed, and the horrors to
which the unhappy prisoners
were exposed, and at
once tried to make some arrangements to ameliorate
their lot. He found that during the last two months
no less than 60 prisoners had died in consequence of
the privations and wretchedness to which they were
exposed. Others lost their senses ; among these was
