GREECE.

The Hellenic Legation in Paris has receivedlet-
ters from the Provisional Government which con-
firm Gen. Kalergis and all the other members in
their respective functions.

Col. Papadiamantopoulos, who is the mainspring
of the movement at Athens, has been named mili-
tary commandant of the Greek capital. Major
Fringkatas has been appointed Governor of the
Palace, where everything has been put under seal,
in presence of Baron de Wendland, private secre-
tary to King Otho, and who signed the proces verbal
drawn up on the occasion. The Queen's jewels and
a great number of valuable articles were delivered
to the Baroness de Plascow, Grand Mistress of the
Court, who, on departing, was accompanied by an
attache of the English embassy, by whom she was
conveyed to that embassy in ono of the Court car-
riages without any escort through the crowd, which
as stated merely uttered some sarcasms against the
lady. The first measure of the Provisional Govern-
ment was to set all political prisoners at liberty.
The impression produced by the last letters from
Athens is that a certain division has begun to mani-
fest itself between the Canaris element, which is
under Russian tendencies, and that of Bulgaria,
which has French ones. Canaris had declined to
form part of the Provisional Government, and he
appears to hold apart from Bulgaria. The other mem-
ber designated to form part of the government (M.
Roufos) was still in Paris, and M. Bulgaria exer-
cised a kind of dictatorship, very mild, certainly,
and willingly accepted in the capital. Nothing cer-
tam was known at the departure of the packet of
the state of the north-west provinces of .iEtolia and
Acarnania, where it is thought the revolution had
assumed a bolder character. Old Grivas, a kind of
adventurous Garibaldi, had placed himself at the
head of the movement there. With him were his
son and the revolutionists in the affair of Nauplia,
men who felt no great sympathy with those ruling
at Athens. The Provisional Government may there-
fore meet with some difficulties in that quarter.

A letter from Athens has the following partieu-

lars :

"All the foreign Ministers, and among them was
the representative of Bavaria, repaired on board the
King's frigate to inform the King of the real state
of things. After having made them wait about
half-an-hour, King Otho at last consented to re-
ceive them. He was much astonished to hear that
he must leave, and that he could not preserve any
hope. The King argued at length against such an
assertion, saying that the people were for him and
loved him, and that the army alone was hostile to
him. The Bavarian 'Minister then thought it his
duty to speak, and expressed himself in such a po-
sitive manner that the King could not entertain
the slightest hope. Turning, however, towards M.
Mamiani, Minister of Italy, he asked that diplo-
matist if this 'evolution, so unexpected by
him,
would have happened had it not been for the excur-
sion which he had made.
Precisely the same thing
would have occurred,' replied M. Mamiani, ' only a
little blood would have, perhaps, been shed.' Otho
ended by saying that he would reflect as to whether
he should stay or leave. During this rather warm
discussion the Queen was much moved. The Pro-
visional Government sent an officer named Saclour
to Captain Palaska, of the Amelie, calling on him
to give up the frigate, and to persuade the King:to
embark on board a foreign vessel, but on Palaska
refusing to recognise the orders of a new Govern-
ment, the officer was obliged to return tp give an
account of the failure of his mission. The officer
had hardly left the vessel when the crew manifested
feelings hostile to their own commander. The Go-
vernment then gave the King four hours to leave,
and recommended him to embark on board the
English war steamer Scylla, which was anchored
alongside the Greek vessel, as at the expiration of
that period it would no longer answer for his life
or that of the Queen. That announcement
at length determined the King to leave, and
the Amelie placed herself under the elders of
the Government. The departure of the King
tranquillised the people, who were very
greatly exasperated, and had assembled on the
shore raising hostile cries. At ten o'clock, on the
appearance of a supplement to the official journal
announcing the departure of the King, the agita-
tion all at once ceased. Syra immediately sent its
adhesion by telegraph, as well as Colchio, Nauplia,
Calavrita, and other towns." _

The following is the first proclamation of the Pro-
visional Government of Greece, issued before that
already ready known,as having been issued at
