GREECE.

ATHENS, Nov. 7.—1 beg to call your attention to
the following Royal Ordinance, in date of the 1628th
September last, communicated to all the Governors of
Provinces by a secret circular of the Home Office. It
is styled " An Ordinance for the transportation of the
heads of families suspected of being in connection with
brigands and begins, " Otho, by the grace of God,
King of Greece."
" On the Report of our Home Minister, and seeing
the necessity of adopting sti'l more extraordinarily se-
vere measures for the suppression of brigandage : we
ordain that in the Governments of Lacedemonia, Mas-
senia, Iriphylis, Gortyne, Mantines, Cynethe, Elis, Ar-
canania, and Etolia, comprising also the sub-govern-
ments of Triconia and Pylias, the measure of transpor-
tation shall be extended also to those suspected of
giving food or asylum to the brigands, or of receiving
stolen effects.

" 1. This transportation to apply to the heads of
families.

" 2. Those suspected to be divided into two classes—
the gravely suspected, and the slightly suspected. The
first to be transported from the Mores to Continental
Greece, and from Continental Greece to Argolide and
Ellis ; the latter to the chief town of the Government
in which they reside, to be under the surveillance of the
police.
" 3. Those shall be deemed suspected of the said of-
fences who are pointed at by public fame, or by their
townsmen as such, but against whom no legal proof
exists to proceed against them. The governor and
officer of gendarmes drawing up a list of their names,
and transmitting the same to the Home Secretary for
his approval.
" This ordinance to remain in force one year. And
these measures may be extended to other provinces if
found necessary. _ _

" OTHO.
" G. GLARAKIS,
Minister of the Interior."

The minister in his circular to all governors, com-
municates this decree, and calls on them, also, if they
have any suspected persons in their districts to de•
nounce them, and to threaten the extension of the law
to the said district, and to report on the effect of
the threat, and if it be necessary, to carry it into
execution.

Can any one, after this, doubt of the existence of
brigandage in Greece, whoa the Governmrnt finds itself
compelled to adopt such a measure as to transport
persons suspected by common report of knowing the
brigands ? And mark ! Eleven out of thirty-four go-
vernments are thus put out of the pale of the law.
The press here loudly exclaims against this Neronian
decree ; and it is saying little for the efficacy of King
Otho's Government that it has been obliged to have
recourse to such steps to put down brigandage, which
infects the country from Navarino to Epidauras—from
Maine to Calavoita ; and in no part of the Morea is
travelling safe.
A partial change of Ministry has taken place. M.
G. Spaniolaky, the Finance Minister, has insisted on
his resignation being accepted, refusing any longer to be
the tool of the adventurer Reg-fly. The latter is now
at the head of the finances, with three clerks as Coun
cillors, and promises soon to bring the treasury of Greece
to as low a pitch as he has brought his own.
It is said that the soi disant Prince Soutzo, late
Ambassador in London, is to be President of the
Council, and Foreign Minister ; that his son-in-law,
Zographos, is to return to Constantinople as Ambassa-
dor ; that Metaxa, late envoy to Spain, is to be Home
Minister ; and that M. Glaraky is to take the depart-
ment of public instruction. All these are the rough
going Russians.
As for the giving any satisfaction to England for all
the insults she has received from this wretched Go-
vernment, it is not thought of. Both the authorities
end their organs of the press openly state that the Go-
vernment, instead of giving satisfaction demand it.—
