from Harper's Ferry, and has occupied Charles-
town, in Virginia, afterwards continuing its ad-
vance two miles beyond Charlestown.

General M'Clellan's headquarters are at Charles
town.

The Confederate pickets retreated before the
Federal advance, slight skirmishing occurring along
the route. The main body of the Confederates oc-
cupy a position extending from Bunker's Hill to the
Shenandoah river.

Another division of General M'Clellan's army
advanced to Shepherdstown, but, meeting the Con-
federates in force, retreated.

Skirmishing continues between General Buell's
army and the rear of the Confederate army in Ken-
tucks . General Buell is pressing forward.
The Confederates were in large force near Nash-
ville on the 11th, and demanded the surrender of the
city. The demand was refused. It was stated that
the Federal force was amply sufficient to defend the
city.

News received here from Mexico states that Gen
Forey arrived at Vera Cruz on the 22d September.

.REVOLLTION IN GREECE.

THE ABDICATION OF THE KING.

The Paris papers are full of despatches from
various parts of Greece announcing that a success-
ful revolution has taken place, and that King Otho
has fled and abdicated in favour of his brother,
Prince Luitpold.

We take these despatches as they are published
in the Paris papers, awaiting more precise informa-
tion from our own correspondents.
,La Presse says:—
" Advices of the 21st inst. state that the whole
of western Greece has risen in insurrection, and
that it has triumphed in Vonitza, Missolonghi, Rion,
Antirion, Naupactos, Patras, and Aigion. The
King is said to have fled from the capital and to
have sought refuge at Calamata, with a view to
embarking.

" On the 22d the Government still maintained
power at Athens, and was sending troops against
the insurgents. A telegram dated the 24th of
October laconically announces the perfect success of
the revolution, and that a Provisional Government
has been established in Greece. A National Con-
gress has been convoked, and Athens is tranquil."
A despatch dated Athens, the 24th inst., says :
" The garrison of Vonitza has risen. The King
is believed to be at Calamita. A Provisional Go
vernment has been formed. It consists of MM.
Bulgaria, President, Canaris, and Kouflos. The
Ministers appointed by this Government are MM.
Zaimis, Manghinas, Mavromichalis, Diamanto-
poulous, Deligiorgio, Kalifronas, and Komondoros.
" The Minister Chatziskos has left for Calamita
to join their Majesties.

La Patrie has the following on the subject :
"Greece has suddenly claimed public attention.
Events have just occurred in the Hellenic Kingdom
which are, we fear, too true. Missolonghi, Patras,
and other towns of the western provinces are in
full insurrection. A Provisional Government is re-
ported to have been established at Patras, but up
to the 22d Athens, Syra, and the eastern portion
the kingdom had not as yet joined the movement.
However, a despatch, via Trieste, dated the 24th
inst., announces in a general manner that a Provi-
sional Government had been formed 'in Greece,'
and the convocation of a National Congress. Athens
was tranquil. These events, the gravity of which
is incontesi able, no matter how they may end, coin
cide with a visit of the King and Queen into the
provinces the least devoted to the dynasty. That
journal commPnced on the 13th of October, and
private letters from the Piraeus, of the 17th, in-
form ns that the Minister of the Interior had, up
to that date, observed the strictest silence respect-
iug the incidents of the Royal visit."

SAIYRNA, OCT 24.

According to news received here from Athens,
King Otho has abdicated, and has taken his depar-
ture, but his destination was not known.
TRIESTE, OCT. 25.

Intelligence has been received here from Athens,
according to which King Otho has abdicated in
favour of his brother.

The Provisional Government, in the name of the
people and the garrison, has declared the dynasty
of King Otho to be deposed.

M. Mavrocordato has been elected President of
the Provisional Government.
CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 25.

Intelligence received here states that King Otho,
after his departure from Greece, gave orders to
avoid the Piraeus, and to anchor in the Bay of
Salamis.

PARIS, OCT. 26.

Intelligence received here fully confirms the news
of a revolution having taken place in Athens; of a
Provisional Government having been apps,inted.
which has decreed the deposition of the reigning
dynasty; of a National Assembly having been con-
voked; of the general prevalence of enthusiasm
among the people; and that order had not been
disturbed.

La Presse of this evening asserts that the English
squadron stationed at Malta is about to proceed to
the Piraeus.
La France believes itself able to state that if
English ships are sent to the Piraeus, France will
increase the strength of the naval division com-
manded by Admiral Fonchard.
The same paper publishes details of the insurrec-
tion in Greece. It states that the insurgents re-
proach the dynasty of King Otho with not desiring
the greatness or extension of the country. The
chiefs of the insurrection belong to the great fami-
lies of Greece, and are partisans of a monarchical
form of government. The Provisional Government
is said to have given orders for the concentration of
troops at Vonitza, on the Turkish frontier.

It is further stated that the Porte, upon receiving
intelligence of the events now passing in Greece, has
determined to maintain the Ottoman army upon a
war footing. The Turkish Government is also said
to have ordered the concentration of troops upon
the Albanian frontier to watch Livadia, a Greek
province very hostile to Turkey.

DREADFUL GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION AT CORR.--

bath, which appeared to revive it very much, and under the
care of the surgeon it lived 12 hours. The medical man was
of opinion that death had resulted from congestion of the
heart and lungs, but he could not undertake to say if it
was produced from severe labour or from natural causes.
The coroner in summing up made a strong point against the
accused, on the ground that she had made no provision for
the child; but the jury returned a verdict in accordance
with the medical teat' 1131011 v
