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. COUMOUNDOURAKIS 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
wanteu rc of
, which proved that the
so
borfGdreweea general,
es
were
evaelry
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 M 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
res bread
cultivating their land, it
may be expected
that the famine of this year 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 one. 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. COUMOUNDOU-
Iuaus therefore proposed that the Government should
assist the landed proprietors and the agricultural in-
terests by a loan. M. LISANDRII YILARTI, after ex-
enduing the difference between the commercial ex-
ports and imports, and observing that the resources of
the country were eaten up
337 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 frotn.ratras stater, that in addition to the
Poleswhich
expelled from Greece, the Go-
vernment

means to remove the small
number of Italians which still remained there, and
some of them had already received an intimation to
that effect.

T URRE Y. ,
We learn from Bosnia that the new Vizier, VELIED.• I
YIN PACIIA, had arrived at Serajevo ; he immediately
visited the prisons, and
was greatly shocked at the
scenes which he 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
the Franciscan monk Jurrscif, who was then re-
moved to the m infir arY, where he attempted to com-
mit self-destruction.
Notwithstanding all
The misery of these prisons is
untold.
the Government has not arrived at any clue, and the
whole appears to be an invention, though unfortu-
nately it affords a
- pretext for momentary arrests.

the Tories that the Revising Barristers' Court is the
place to fight the battle in. They always bring more
cash and tact to bear on these occasions than the Libe-
