After a troublous and contemptible reign of thirty
years' duration, King OTHO of Greece is now some-
where (no one at the moment knows precisely
where), a fugitive from his dominions ! His late
dominions, it should be said, for the Bavarian
Monarch of the Greek Kingdord.has already it ap-
pears formally abdicated. He is discrowned. He
is in exile. The sceptre held so long, by turns,
timorously and temerariously—now often all but
dropping from a grasp the most feeble and relaxed,or
again clutched with fitful and spasmodic grips of
evanescent determination—the sceptre confided by
the Five Great Powers to the boy of seventeen in
the October of 1832, has now at last abruptly in
the October 1862, fallen from the hand of the man
of forty-seven : fallen from his hand we may be cer-
tain this time for once and for all. The Revolution
of 1843 was, in truth, no more than the threat of
what the Revolution, but just now brought to light
by a few flashes of the telegraph, has at length
actually accomplished. It is not only the Bavarian
Prince who has disappeared, but with him has
vanished from the scene also the Bavarian Dynasty.
" No mistake this time"—those have virtually been
the watchwords, OTHO has fallen after his thirty
years, like LOUIS PHILIPPE after his seventeen.
The departure of the KING and his Royal
Consort from the shores of Greece, bears no resem-
blance whatever to the departure from the shores of
France of CHARLES X. It is LOUIS PHILIPPE'S
flight alt over. It is, in its general result at least,
the very counterpart of Louis PHILIPPE'S abdica-
tion. In favour of his brother, LEOPOLD, the Greek
KING abdicated—but as vainly as the French KING
abdicated in favour of his grandson, the Comte DE
PARIS. The Chambers, the People, the Provisional
Government—in each instance—would have none
of it. The Royal standard, flying so long—in each
instance—above the vessel of the State, was not
simply lowered, was not merely torn into rib-
bons by the blasts of the political hurricane,
but, at once, in a twinkling, flagstaff and
all—vied by the board! No more of King OTHo
andA Queen AMELIA. No more of the Bavarian
d /4asty. The KING'S abdication is not only accepted,
but the Dynasty itself is set aside. A clear sweep
is made. The Greek nationality now starts afresh.
A pro,i4otula
Government is at once installed, hav-
ing as its president, first of all, it was reported,
g
BOTTLGARas,
but eventually, as it proved, no less a
than NI-
m.
AVROCORDATO. His colleagues
in this purely temporarymusZary Administration consisting
of ZAIMES,
48, MATOMICHALIS, DIAM
.ANTOPOULAS, DELIGIo
KALIFRONAS, and
KOMONDOURAS.

During the last five
weeks
rumours
of a for-
mid:ible intrigue were afloat--
flitting
hither and
thither over the waters of the Levant—the mut-
terings of the storm there br
ewin
audibly to us, every now and then, coming
ea at this
distance. That storm lira now broken over
the
palace (nay, far and wide all over the kingdom
sooner than was. expected, and with an overwhelm
kg force that no one hardly could have staid- ft
paced. The explosion is that not of a Revolt 1
but of a Revoiution. And the movement
has been so nearly unanimous among the whole
mass of the population—led on by all the principal
families without exception--that the whole Royal
family and its entourage, have been swept away
together "at one fell swoop :" and this, more-
over, with the greatest celerity and precision. But
ono only circumstance '-ut this rising of a long out-
raged race against a Intinarch who has throughout
shown himself utterly incompetent to govern it—
