GREECE.

According to advices from Athens to the 30th, King
Otho has amnestied the officers of the Greek army who
have taken part in the insurrection in Epirius :—" We
trant," says his Majesty, " a complete amnesty to all
those officers who have broken their leave, or who have
abandoned, without leave, their posts to take part in the
insurrection of the neighbouring provinces of the Otto-
man empire, and also to those officers who have left the
service in compliance with a request preferred by them
in consequence of recent events, provided that within
the space of a month from the date of this decree they
present themselves before the military authorities of the
realm. Officers comprised in the last category will at
the same time be restored to their rank in the service." •

A letter from Athens, of the Ist, says— "The Minis-
try has taken the oath. All its acts are of a nature to
.tive complete satisfaction to the Porte. Epirus is paci-
fied after a fresh advanttvie gained by the Turks at
Raduwitiz. The accounts from Thessaly are not so sa-
tisfactory. Nothing is known of the state of affairs in
Nlacedonia. The presence of the French troops has
produced an excellent effect. Their appearance is ad-
mirable. The accounts from the provinces are tran-
quillising."
The Patric states—" The private telegraphic despatch
announcing that the Ottoman troops had suffered a de-
feat in Thessaly was strangely exaggerated, and the en-
gagement in question had not the importance ascribed
to it. Reinforcements, moreover, have been sent to
Thessaly, and it was hoped that in that province, as well
as in Epirus, the odious projects of the rebels would be
defeated."

The following fact, says the same paper, will show to
what extent the Russian Genera's carry their fanaticism
in the present war. At one of the last assaults on Silis-
tria, the Russian Commander ordered the Greek chap-
lains to give the sacrament to all the soldiers. This or-
der was executed in the morning at break of day. Tk so
non-commissioned officers, born in Poland, having d e-
clared to the priest that, being Catholics, they could n
without committing a sacrilege, receive the communione
from his hands, were immediately tried by a Council ,7),
War, and shot.

VoLo, May 23.--The reports sent in from Larissa'
by Mr. Blunt's agents are as follow :
Calabaka has for the last eight days been blockaded
by 10,000 Greeks. They are now without provi-
sions.
Selim Pacha, Ismail Bey, and Oda Bey are at
ha head of the Turks, but all communications are in-
tercepted. An attempt was made by the cavalry tu..
elease the Turks, but the Greeks picked them off from.
the mountains, and they were obliged to retreat,.
having about 200 men killed and wounded. They re—
tired to Carditza.

Calabaka—or, properly, Kakabaka—is situate on
the western slopes of Mount Ossa, near to the Pierian
plain, ten miles from Larissa, and seven miles south of
the pale of Tempe. The slopes of Mount Ossa are very
steep, and in fact precipitous, in the vicinity of the
above-named village of Kalabaka, not far from the well-
known manufacturing town of Ambelakia.
At Verdacoush, in the provinpe of Dusehcarta, the
Albanians, under the command of their chief Gego, at-
tacked the Greeks, and slew 60 families—men, women,
and children. The Greeks sent to Captain Taco for
aid, and he came to their assistance. He sur--
rounded 1,000 Albanians in one village, and set fire to.
the place, when all were consumed.
Papa Costa is about to join Captain Kronia, Greshana,
and Flarita. The latter has sent letters to every village s
on the way to Larissa, demanding cattle, flour, &c.,
without delay, and threatening to burn down everything
and spare nobody, if his wants are not immediately sup-
plied. Things look worse thau ever in these parts.
