GREECE,

ATHENS, JUNE 24 —You ask me what I think of the
changes which have taken place, and of the prospects for
the uture ? lam very decidedly of opinion that the re-
moval of the Archchancellor was a vcry necessary step, and
I am equally certain that the appointment of M. Rudhart
was the most wicked, as well as the most absurd measure
that could have been adopted. We are now in the most
hopeless condition possible—a complete anarchy would be
better than the present anomalous state of things. Greece
is.now nothing more or less than a colony of Bavaria, and
Munich is its real metropolis. Happily things are carried
on in such a barefaced manner, that they must work their
own cure,.and we shall soon see a National Assembly called,
and a Constitution, or we shall seen another revolution. In
other words, the Administration will either be obliged to
give the people a Constitution. or they will have to walk
out against their will—and in either event there will be an
end of the Xenocracy. The Government is without re-
sources—without plans—without confidence—without credit
—distracted and quarrelling amongst themselves—with a
weak Ministry, that has not three votes in the Council of
State—hated by the people, and served most unwillingly by
their army and civil functionaries. War on the northern
border, and plague within our borders (at Paros), and
almost at the doors of the capital—no commerce, and agri-
culture in a deplorable state—no more loans—and, thanks
to M. Rudhart, no more prospect of a bank. This is not
an exaggerated picture.
The departure of Count d'Armenspere.' has had one bad
effect, that of destroying the only link between English
influence, which is civilisation, and Bavarian influence, which
is barbarism.

The plague at Paros continues its ravages slowly ; it
has not been arrested for a moment, but it has been con-
fined to that island.

You will perhaps have beard of the quarrel between King
Otho and Mons. J{udhart. All confidence between them
is at an end, and the farce of making this Bavarian
Counsellor of State being responsible to the King of
Greece can be no longer acted. I will give you the facts
as they actually occurred, for all Europe ought to know
them. On the 24th ult. the Bavarian Charge d'Affaires,
after delivering his credentials, presented a letter from
the King of Bavaria, which King Otho had no sooner
read, than he sent for M. Rudhart, and asked him if it
could be possible that he Ind undertaken, unknown to him,
to write to the King of Bavaria to recall his confidential
counsel or, M. Frey, and in such peremptory terms, too, as
to call for his instant departure ?

M. Rudhart confessed the fact, and excused himself by
saying that he could not work in the same cabinet as M.
Frey, for such and such reasons.
His Majesty said these reasons should have been frankly
stated to him, and not secretly to the King of Bavaria. Some
further discussion took place, when the King said, in a voice
so loud that even the sentinels heard him, that such an at-
tack upon his independence was infamous, and, pointing to
the door, said, " Be off." .
The following morning the King sent for M. Frey, and
urged him to remain. M. Frey said that, if M. Rudhart
and his relative positions were incompatible before, they
would be worse henceforth ; that in fact their political prin-
ciples were quite different ; "he being a Greek whilst in
Greece.; whilst M. Rudhart was a soi-disant Liberal in
Germany, but an absolutist in Greece."
The King sent for M. Frey again in the evening, and
pressed him to remain in order that his subjects might see
that he was not in leading strings. M. Frey declared" that
all relations between him and M. Rudhart were at an end
for ever, and that be dospised him, and would ilevor work in
the same Cabinet with him."

The King then asked M. Fr, y if he would remain and
assist him in the Cabinet, provided M. Rudhart never en-
tered it, but confined himself to his duties as President of the;
Council of Ministers, and Secretary of Foreign AffaitNs
M. Frey said that in such case he would remain,, but
that there were, in his opiai,orb obvious masons why Al.
