GREECE.

1 ATHENS, JULY 25.---We are still lingering or, ; the
Greeks are determined on one thing—tbat is, t
Constitution ; they are in hopes the King will giveo have a
i th
before bringing things to extremes. The
cruntry ist overem-
run with brigands. The Councillors of State tell the Go-
vernment they must call a National Assembly, but the
King's Bavarian advisers will not listen to it.
The Bavarian Charge d'Affaires applied to the Govern-
merit to prosecute the paper called the Elpis, for abuse of
the King of Bavaria. The tribunal of First Instance re-
fused the accusation ; they then tried it for abuse of King
Otho : fearing the Government intended to put down the
press, they sentenced the responsible editor to throe months'
imprisonment and 100 drachmas fine, but warded the sen-
tence in. such a way that they name the article " a protec-
tion of King Otho against the King of Havaria." In fact,
the Greeks of all parties unite the mriment there is any-
thine. against Bavaria or a Bavarian,
General Gordon has returned to Argos much disgusted
with the Government, and in Vilstern Greece, Mamouris,
on whom the Government cotrated most of all the capitani,
has demanded permission to resign his command.
The Government, after repeated demands from the men
' themselves, has freighted a vessel to take 490 of the Bava-
rians to Trieste.
The plague has entirely ceased at Poros, and it will have
pratique as soon as the weather cools.
General Pisa, who was sent out in 1826 by the Com-
mittee, is just dead ; he was in command of Attica ; he was
buried with all due honours. He was followed to the grave
by most of the Councillors of State and all the troops in
the garrison. He is universally, regretted.
Amongst our other misfortunes, we have had several
failures, both at Syra and at Nauplia.

NAPLr.S.

I The Piedniontese Gazette of the 11th instant publishes
the following document, dated Naples. Aug. I.:
" Considering that, thanks to the reinforcements sent to
Sicily, and to other measures adopted for the purpose of
suppressing, in the neighbourhood of Palermo and else.
where, the disturbances occasioned by the ravages- of the
cholera, and the perfidious reports circulated in those dis-
tricts, the desired object has been attained.
" Wishing to strengthen order by means- of Government
measures, to remedy the existing evils, and put asp y end to the events, of which the provinces of Messina, Cal d
a-
Syracuse are the theatre.
" We have resolved on issuing, and we her eiy issue, :he
following. decree :
Art. 1. Having full confidence in our Minister Secre-
tary of State of the Police, the Major-General Marquis
Delcazetto, are invest him with all the powers of an alter
ego' for the provinces of Messina, Catania, and Syracuse,
and order him to proceed to that portion of our dominions,
and tu 'all other points he may think proper to visit, in or-
der to.zestore tranquillity in the disturbed districts.
" Art. 2. He wiil correspond with us directly -on all be
objects of his his mission.' "•
On the same day (Aug. 1) his Majesty embarked for
Sicily, at Casteilamare.
The following from Palermo contains some-additional
circumstances relating to Sicily, which, may be interesting :
—" The Government, in its measures against the malefac-
tors, has been cautious in insuring, their detection arid pu-
nishment, without coming to an open contest, which might
have ended in the ruin of Palermo. In fact, with only 2,000
soldiers, nearly the whole of them invalids, it was not possi-
ble to take rigorous Inecsures with a city of 160,000 inha-
bitants, of whom 20,000 were rendered desperate from
want. The authorities were, therefore, obliged to make a
passive resistance until the arrival of sufficient forces from
Naples. Scarcely, however, was the reinforcement 015,000
men landed, than strong detachments were sent to the points
where the • greatest excesses had been committed, and
courts-martial were established. On the 22d of July 10
men were sentenced to death, and immediately executed in
the small town of Mtsiltneri. Other culprits are nosy on
their trial. Among the 10 persons executed was a boy,
who, too young to manage a musket, went with the mur-
derers, and consummated the fate of thole who were
wounded but not dead by stabbing them with a knife. The
court-martial of Palermo has already begun to try the as-
sassins of the city and its environs.
