LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

[REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.]

THE GREEK REVOLUTION.

ATHENS, FEB. 22.

The Provisional Government recently established
has fallen, through a demonstration got up yester-
day with the assistance of part of the garrison.
The Assembly has invested President Moraitini
with the executive powers, until it should order
otherwise.

To-day all is quiet.

The troops which were disbanded are returning.
The Assembly is discussing a new form of Go-

vernment.

A Ministry elected directly by the Assembly will
have have the greatest chance of success.

PRUSSIA.

The telegraphic news of the declarations of Lords
Russell and Palmerston in the two Houses of Par-
liament was published in all the papers. The news
arrived while the Chamber of Deputies was sitting;
it was of course immediately known there, and
caused great excitement, as being the first authentic
intelligence here received concerning the convention
with Russia. There has been no time for much
comment in the press. While citing the despatch
at the top of its columns, on account of its import-
ance, the Berliner Allgemeine recalls the fact that
in the Chamber, on the 18th inst., M. Bismark de-
declared most positively that the Government had
neither received nor expected any counsels from a
foreign Government with respect to the affair in
question. "The principal thing," it adds, "is that
we now know what the convention contains. The
Russians are allowed to fight out their private war
n Prussian ground."

FRANCE.

PARIS, FEB. 23.

Le Constitutionnel of this morning has an article
signed by Limayrac, commenting on the observa-
tions made by the Journal des Debats on the recent
passages in favour of the Poles. "It is to be re-
gretted," says that writer, " that the Journal des
Debats should have allowed party spirit to influence
its otherwise just opinions. The Government of
the Emperor has nothing to repair, nothing to re-
gret; and the speech of M. Billault, in the debate
on the address in the Chambers was all it ought to
have been. That speech was marked by a prudence,
a reserve, and a dignity, which we have too often
lost sight of, and which France has regained with
the Empire. It was the sincere expression of a
policy which joins to its sympathy for the cause of
justice, due respect for itself. Cannot the Journal
des Debats forgive M. Billault for having recalled
the clamorous and fruitless protests which the Go-
vernment of July, elevated during 18 years in be-
half of Poland, which served no purpose but to
encourage hopes that they could not or would not
realise. To-day we protest no longer in vain—
fruitless protests are unworthy of a great nation ;
and under the reign of a Napoleon there are silences
which all the world comprehends. Why should
the Journal des Debats, at the moment
when we wished to thank it for its concurrence,
put us under the necessity of recalling that the
policy at one time condemned by it towards Poland
resolves itself into two memories equally mournful ;
on one hand vain protestation of sympathy—on the
other a cruel phrase, whose recollection is inefface-
able. We are surprised, says Le Constitutionnel,
in conclusion, that_the journal des Debats, while
doing justice to the firm and generous intentions of
the Imperial Government in the new phase of the
Polish question, has not appreciated better its pre-
vious attitude, and words of the eminent statesman
whose patriotism equals his eloquence.
Le Pays, in commenting on the sensation pro-
duced ia Berlin by the article in the Constitution-
nel of Saturday on the subject of the Prussian con-
vention, expresses its conviction that the treaty will
become a dead letter, for it is impossible, in face of
the universal reprobation it has encountered, even
in Prussia, that Herr Von Bismark can dream of
putting it in practice.
The conduct of the Prussian Government towards
the Poles excites indignation and disgust among all
classes here. That Russia would put down with an
unsparing hand an insurrection which her own
agents most wantonly provoked, and that her Gene-
rals would let loose a brutal soldiery on a people
roused to madness, was perhaps expected ; but that
the Prussian Government should have become an ac-
complice in these atrocities has roused a feeling in the
heart of every Frenchman which words can hardly
describe. It is now certain that the Prussian anthori-

ties not only arrested the three young Poles who had
set out from Pails to join their countrymen, but
have actually given them up to the vengeance of
the Russians. This ignoble conduct is, :t appears,
still continued, and will probably be continued so
long as Prussia has the power to do so. Another
party of young men, who bad followed the example
of the three already mentioned, were seized when
they found themselves in Prussian territory, and in
all likelihood these also have been given up to their
enemy. The following letter from one of them has
been received in Paris :

" Lisback, Feb. 15.

" You will pardon me, dear Sir, for not having written
to you before this. On our journey hither we had not
time to do so. Now, alas I we have but too much leisure,
not well knowing what to do amid the calamities which
have befallen us. We arrived safe at Lisback, but since
then everything has changed. On the 13th several of us
met together for the purpose of passing the frontier and
proceeding to join the standard of liberty. I know not
whether it was through treachery or want of precaution on
our part, but we were surrounded by Prussian gendarmes
and five of us arrested. On the 14th we were conducted to
Brodmin, and I received a gunshot wound in the leg. We
had our passports made out in due form— foreign passports
it is true, but vised by the Prussian Legation. We hope
that the foreign Consuls will interfere in our behalf. I can
write you only a few lines, and I am reduced to a state of
great weakness by loss of blood. Among others arrested
with me are MM. Tarcni, Stawierski, and AL:chalski.
" PAUL SERWINSILI."

Death of Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq.

This Day.

To-day we have to announce the death of Daniel
Whittle Harvey, Esq., Chief Commissioner of the
City Police, which office he has held for a great
number of years.
For some time past Mr. Harvey had been suffer-
ing from carbuncle and erysipelas having ensued, he
died this morning about half-past six, at his official
residence, 77, Old Jewry. Mr. Harvey at one time
took a very prominent part in public affairs,
representing Colchester in the House of
Commons. He afterwards was elected for the
borough of Southwark, which place he con-
tinued to represent until he accepted the appoint-
ment of Registrar of Metropolitan Hackney Car-
riages. While faithfully discharging the duties of
this office the appointment of Cniet Commissioner
of the City Police was offered to him, which he
accepted, and continued to hold up to the present
moment, although on one ur two occasions he had
been tempted to resign by becoming again a can-
didate for Parliamentary honours.

To his other duties Mr. Hervey also added that
of a newspaper proprietor, by starting a daily jour-
nal called the 7rue Sun, which was purchased
many years back from the deceased gentleman by
the former proprietor of this newspaper, and incor-
porated with it.
Mr- Harvey was 76 years of age, and the salary
he received as Chief Con missioner amounted to
£1,200 per annum.
The vacant appointment will no doubt be con-

ferred upon Captain Hodgson, who for a long period
has held the office of Chief Superintendent, and
who is admitted on all hands to be highly qualified
for the duties of the office.
