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 Kingdom 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 LetTIS PHILIPPE'S
flight all over. It is, in its general result at least,
the very counterpart of Louts 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 —went by the board! No more of King OTHO
and Queen AMELIA. No more of the Bavarian
dynasty. 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.
4 ilvivisional Government is at once installed, hay-
}lb as its President, first of all, it was reported,
'ls, but eventually, as it proved, no less a

MAVROCORDATO. His colleagues I '

the
overwhelm-
ing
sooner than was expccted, and with an ov
ing, force that no one hardly could have
antici-
pated. The explosion is that not of a Revoltbut of a Revolution. And the movement
has 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
one only circumstance 'in this rising of a long out-
raged race against a 1 nunarch who has throughout
"b
own himself utterly• incompetent to govern it—

but one only circumstance, we say, in this rising
bears about it what cannot but strike the
majority of observers, upon reflection, as
a very ominous and a very sinister significance.
This being nothing less than the aspect of
reproach turned against the King in his flight, and
repellingly also against the relatives of the King,
who are involved in the rein of his downfall, the
aspect of unmistakeable reproach that the rule of
Onao has never once affected to desire the great-
ness of the country or—its agrandizement •
Simul-
taneously with the delivery of this distinct and
startling taunt of reproach against the KING and
the Dynasty that have just succumbed before the
Revolution, the troops are ordered to be concen-
trated at Vonitza of all places!! It was at Vonitza
that the revolt of the local garrison may be said to
have given the signal to the revolutionists. The
train, it is true, had been previously laid, far and
wide, surely and secretly—but there at Vonitza
the match was lit and applied, and the mine sprung.
Vonitza being conveniently situated, observe, upon
the frontier line of Turkey !
Knowing perfectly well, as we do, in the pre-
sence of all these facts, how wide spread are the
intrigues that have led to this abrupt and startling
manifestation—remembering the importance alike
to the maintenance of the balance of power in
Europe and of the ready continuance of our far off
rule in Hindostan—it is a satisfaction to be aware
also, no less unmistakeably, that not only is our
diplomacy on the alert in regard to the
import of all these extraordinary transactions,
but that with exemplary promptititude the
British ships now stationed off Malta are
forthwith to proceed to the Pireos. There almost
as a matter of course, we presume, they would soon
enough be joined by a French naval division—Eng-
lish and French alike presenting themselves there
upon the spot to note the progress of events and to
be prepared for any emergency.
Casting a momentary glance at the melancholy
records of this reign of thirty wasted years, wasted
alike for the KING himself and for the people he
has so systematically misgoverned—it is impos-
sible not to recognise, almost at a glance, that it has
been a reign first of all marred by the Prince's
overweening German predilictions, and after-
wards and for the most part by the sinister
influence exercised upon his always blun-
dering councils by the Evil Genius at his
elbow, that Queen-wife of his, with her petty
ambition, her constitutional guile, and her Russian
proclivities. Originally himself altogether un-
qualified to fill the throne of Greece—incapable of
understanding the duties of a Constitutional So-
vereign—Onto has found these two baneful incen-
tives to misgoyernment fatal in the end. And this
not only to himself and to his Crown, but to the very
dynasty he was supposed to be inaugurating. His
Bavarian infatuation led to that Revolution of
1843, which lost to him the whole of his German
Favourites. His subjection for years past to the
evil influence of his Royal Consort Queen AMELIA,
has more than anything brought about this far
more complete and overwhelming Revolution of
1862, which has cost him, not simply the ruinous
support of a cluster of petty German intriguers, but
has, far more seriously as a result, lost to him and
to his race a Crown and a Kingdom.

" Six days later from America"—still no great
event, or very important movement. Military
doings may be summed up in the statement—Fe-
derals pressing on slowly and heavily, Confederates
as usual completely out-generalling them in gue-
rilla exploits. Thus we are told that General
STUART in his successful raid into Pennsylvania
was twice as successful in his main object—obtain-
ing supplies, as we had been previously in-
formed. He returned with twice five hundred
horses, which we may be sure he will turn to good
account; and, as we have heard so much of the
shoeless condition of the Confederate soldiers, and
winter is at hand, he prudently carried off "large
quantities of boots and clothing taken in Penn-
sylvania." Then, as a light-armed man, and to show
them what agility could do, he s wept completely
round the heavily-armed M'CLELLAN, and crossed
the Potomac into Virginia on the other side of
the Federal camp. On the other hand,
M'CLELLAN, in his slow and sure style, is again
on the south of the Potomac. He has advanced
as far as Charlestown, hardly ten miles into Vir-
ginia, from Harper's Ferry, and is feeling about to
see whether he may venture further. He has
made that town his head-quarters, but can hardly
be intending to press on, however, slowly to Rich-
mond in that direction. The Confederates in his
front are sufficiently numerous to have compelled
one division of his army to fall back.

In Kentucky, where there has been morefighting,
the Confederates seem to have made a similar clever
move to General STUART'S in Virginia, and to have
gone to the back of their victorious opponents, re-
treating in good time with considerable plunder.
By the Baltimore we learned that they had been
driven from Frankfort and Louisville, and certain
it is that BUELL was fighting them forty or fifty
miles further southwards, while DUMONT had taken
150 prisoners and two guns at Versailles near Frank-
fort ; yet we find a body of them getting behind
the Federals pouncing again on Frankfort, and
capturing a large number of waggons and five
hundred Federals ; doubtless they loaded the wag-
gons well with articles so much needed by their men.
In this way they appear to provide themselves with
of military
supplies stores, at the cost of their
enemies, even when the latter are substantially
moving for ward. Yet the Federals would seem to have

to have avelost a thousand pri-
soners, retreating,
and rumours,
on which however no reliance can be placed, were
current that General BRAGG was killed.
Federal victory at Corinth seems to have been a
real victory. At least we are now informed that
the Confederates acknowlege defeat there. We
are told that the Confederates there beeame
" demoralised," and abandoned eleven guns, which
they first spiked, besides losing two thousand pri-
soners. The Federal army has also been able to
advance farther into Mississippi, though we cannot
see what advantage any advance into that thinly
peopled planting State could be of to the Fede-
rals, unless they were able to descend so far south
as to complete connection with General BUTLER at
New Orleans, and take Vicksburg on the Missis-
sippi, which FARRAGUT was ur.able to capture, in
the rear. Thus, on the whole, the Federals appear
to be taking a firmer stand. Though outwitted by
Confederate guerillas both in Virginia and Ken-
tucky, they have the best of it in the more impor-
tant conflicts ; they have steadily forced back the
ad Mississippi, main_ body of their enemies in Virginia, Kentucky,
and though the Confederates
threaten Nashville in Tennessee, the Federals pay

to their threats. The Confederates do
