GREECE.,

General Kalergis, before giving up his portfolio,
addressed to the army the following order of the
day:—
"Soldiers !—Circumstances oblige me to give up a
post in which, for nearly 16 munths, I have had the
honour to preside over, your destinies in the capacity of
Minister of War.

" I leave you with profound grief ; for, during the
whole time, .1 have continually received from you the
strongest assurances of your deep attachment to my
person ; and I also have had, on my part, abundant
opportunities to appreciate those high military virtues
which, I do not hesitate to affirm, have rendered the
Greek army one of the best in Europe.
" My true mission in the midst of you has been to
establish a strong bond of union between you and the
glorious Allied armies in this country ! You have most
worthily seconded my efforts, and rendered my task more
easy, and the most happy consequences have resulted,
both to our country and to ourselves, on that account.
"Thanks to your good conduct, soldiers ! and to your
prudence, which has stood proof against every insidious
suggestion, that army of occupation, influenced solely by
warlike considerations, has laid aside its menacing cha-
racter, and now covers our national soil with the bene-
ficent standards which waved triumphantly at Navarino,
Aid during the expedition into the Morea.
" Under the happy auspices of this union, soldiers !
you have made some advances in the path of that
genuine progress, which, I assure you, can only be
found in honour—the most colossal stride yon could
have effected, even from the commencement. It is
sufficient, however, to remind you, that instead of four
battalions of the line, you now form nine.
"At the same time, your military ardour has not
been inactive. For want of enemies on the field of
battle, you have turned your gallant arms against
those foemen who are more obscure than dangerous,
who cumber and dishonour our soil, and are a disgrace
to the Grecian name. Dating from the middle of the
last year to the present day you have annihilated 767
robbers, of whom 53 were killed and 714 captured, in
the exercise of their shameful trade, and delivered into
the hands of justice.
"Soldiers! proceed still in the same course. Con-
duct yourselves always as brethren towards the brave
Allied armies, who have held forth a generous and
friendly hand towards you ; and to which, I may say,
so many glorious recollections and ardent hopes are
united. The innate sympathy existing between the
armies of civilisation and that of Greece can now
only be denied by the inveterate enemy of all Hellenic
progression. You are not ignorant that this sympathy
affords the strongest guarantee of the present happiness
of our beloved country and of better hopes for the future.
"Having devoted myself to this idea, so fertile in
benefits to Greece, I most sincerely pray that, when
better times arrive, under its guidance, we may again
combat in the same ranks.

Letters from Copenhagen say that the banish-
ment of Prince Ferdinand from the capital—should
he persist in his refusal to sign the new constitu-
tion—is spoken of. Rumour even assigns to him
a forced place of residence—viz., the fortified city
of Fredericia.

A letter from Frankfort states that M. de Bis-
tnarck-Schonbausen has assumed th 9 Presidency of
the Germanic Diet, for all the business transacted
in committee, during the absence of Baron de
Prokesch. The public sittings of the Diet will not
be resumed before the 25th of the present month.

A letter from Kars of the 7th, in the Presse
d'Orient, says that the fort was completely in-
vested by the Russians, and that only couriers
were able to leave and enter. Provisions had be-
gun to fail, and 600 horses had been killed for
food. The garrison was anxiously waiting for the
long-promised reinforcements.

The Madrid journals of the 6th contain no poli-
tical news. The King was indisposed, and had to
keep his chamber. It was of cholera that M.
Sagaste, Governor of Madrid, died. Accounts
from the Philippine Isles to the 6th August state
that perfect order prevailed there, and that the
sanitary situation was satisfactory ; but that some
arrests had been made amongst the artillerymen of
the garrison, in consequence of the men having
combined to demand a diminution of two years in
their period of service.

The permission granted by the Allies to friendly
and neutral flags to ship grain in the ports of the
Sea of Azoff, under proper restrictions, was nego-
tiated by the Austrian Government at the instance
of the Trieste house of Gopcewitsch, which had
large stores of corn at Taganrog, and lost it all
during the bombardment. We are now able to
add that Russiaihas also given its consent to the
measure, but, of course, Only as far as concerns the
flags of neutral states,
