LONDON, FRIDAY. APRIL 21, 1854.

A fatality, if one might so speak, has long
seemed to hang over the Greek Government. As
to the precise nature of the evil-influence latterly
guiding the councils of the Athenian Cabinet--of
that we can only as yet judge by hearsay, by put-
ting (as the saying is) two and two together, in
other words, by the juata-position of facts, many
of which have by this time become sufficiently
notorious. Regarding the policy carried out for
some time past in that direction, we can already,
by the light of these facts, recognise an amount
of turpitude which has rapidly led to the estrange-
ment from Greece, one after another, of the ma-
jority Of the more powerful States of Christendom.
A faithlessness on the part of the reigning dynasty
so flagrant, so enormous, so undeniable, that it
has led, we repeat, to the estrangement from it
of the majority of the great EarOpean Govern-
ments.

It cannot La forgotten how very recently, in
reply to a question pat to her MAJESTY'S Ministers
'by the hon. gentleman the member for Pontefract
—it cannot be forgotten how, on the evening of
Thursday, the 6th of this present month of April,
-Lord. JaliN RUSSELL declared to the Hollis of
Commons his firm conviction that the recent iiis-
turbances in the Greek provinces had been got up
designedly, foi the purpose of weakening the au-
thority of the Sultan, and that there were nume-
rous proofs—[mark these words ! and remember
they are words uttered by a Minister of the
Crown, by the Leader of the House of Commons,
and, as such, by one of the principal members of
her Britannic MAJEsry's Government]—" that
there were numerous ritoops -of the King and Queen of Greece haring given the greatest en- I
eouragement to the insurrectionists !" The na-
tnre of those proofs has as yet to be learnt.
It can only be known precisely on the publication
of official documents relating to these mysterious
transactions. Fortunately, such a publication, iu
the substantial form of a blue-book, may be
now
very speedily anticipated. It has, in a manner,
romised, and that promise must
been formal)? P
soon be redeemed.
Nothing having as yet appeared, however, in
the nature of any such authoritative or detailed
statement, we are left, as we have before remarked,
to form merely ccrilec
j tural opinions, from facts
already known, fr°lll incidents already observed,
from occurrences already notorious, in regard to
the presumed culpability of the Greek Govern-

ment.l
Consider, for a moment, a few of the more
prominent of these facts, or incidents, or occur-,
renew, or whatever else they may be designated.
Compare them with one another, place them side
by side, blend them together—and you will arrive
at the same natural and inevitable deduction,
under each arid every one of these circumstances.
Remember the startling declaration already
referred to---the declaration made by Lord
Joull Russsaa. on the 6th instant, in the House

of Commons,._ to the effect that the greatest encou-

rageinent had been given to the insurrectionists
by the Greek Sovereigns ! That there are
" numerous PEAX)F3 " of the KING and QUEEN of
)flthateacourajerneht—to whom?
