monstration mentioned in the above letter passed
off quietly.

GREECE.
A telegraphic despatch of the Ist June, from
Athens, states that, after the acceptance of the
ultimatum' of the Western powers by King Otho,
the Mavrocordato Ministry was constituted. They
have taken their oaths. All their acts are of a
nature to satisfy the Porte.
Four of the King's aides-de-camp have been dis-
missed. viz., Generals Kolokotronis, Mamari, Gar-
dikiotis-Grivas, aid Spiro Milios.
The Epirus is pacified, in consequence of the
fresh advantage gained by the Turks at Rodowitz.
A great victory is reported to have been gained
in Thessaly by Hadaschi-Petros against the Turks.
A great number of Turks are said to have been
killed or drowned. They are reported to have lost
their military chest, containing 80,000 piastres.
Among the slain are reported Nizain Pacha,
Selim Pacha (the Commander-in-Chief), the Al-
baneese leader (Nitzo Melissow), and an Egyptian

general.
A great number of functionaries have been dis-
missed for showing sympathy for the insurrection.
An American squadron is at Syra.
Nothing is known respecting Macedonia. The
presence of expeditionary troops has produced an
excellent effect. Their bearing's admirable. The
news from the provinces is tranquillising.

AUSTRIA.
A telegraphic despatch from Vienna says that a
kind of forced loan for the improvement of the
currency has been resolved on.
The cordon, against Tessin is to be abolished.
It is said that General Count Nostiz is about to
take a letter from the Emperor of Austria to the
Emperor Nicholas.
Only two Turkish brigades remained in Little
Wallachia.
The Austrian Government has just published a
new order for prohibiting the export of arms and
ammunition by the frontiers adjoining the posses-
sions of Russia or Turkey. The transit of arms
for the same destination is also prohibited. Ves-
sels leaving the Austrian ports may take arms and
ammunition for their own wants, but not more
without a special authorisation of the Ministers of
Foreign Affairs and Commerce.
A private letter from Vienna, dated the 3d
inst., mention that, whether from previous know-
ledge of the sentiments of the Emperor of Russia
or some private information, the nature of his
answer to the Austrian ultimatum was antici-
pated. It is supposed that it will be to this effect :
—Russia will promise to evacuate the Prin-
cipalities on the condition that the Western
Powers recall their military and naval forces ;
that Austria will be asked what she means by
moving troops in that direction of the Principa-
lities ; that the occupation of Wallachia will be
regarded by her as a declaration of war ; that
the question as to whether Austria really means
to declare war will be put ; and that, if the terms
of the evacuation be agreed upon, Russia will sub-
mit to arbitration. The letter adds, that at no
moment have the partisans and agents of Russia
been so busy as now, both at Vienna and Berlin, to
detach Austria aud. Prussia from the alliance.
Nothing is lett undone ; temptations of an almost
irresistible kind are held out. The opinion, how-
ever, is, that Austria will remain true,and that
Prussia will be forced by necessity to follow in her
wake.

RESOLUTION OF THE GERMANIC DIET.
The following is the text of the declaration made
by Bavaria in the Germanic Diet in the sitting of
the 24th ult. on the common declaration of Austria
and Prussia : _ _

" The representative of Bavaria is charged by his Go-
vernment to express the sincere gratitude it feels for
this important communication, and the great joy which
the accord which it proves to exist between the Govern-
ments of Prussia and Austria causes to it. The Bavarian
Government recognises in this accord the essential
foundation of the immovable union of Germany—a union
which can alone guarantee her interests. It equally ad-
mits that it is necessary that this union should be duly
warranted by the legal organ of the will and the acts of
the Confederation, in order that no one may doubt that
all the Confederates are resolved to remain firmly and
faithfully united in the trials which the future may re-
serve to the country. In order that such a manifesta-
tion shall at the same time appear the result of a firm
and enlightened conviction produced by ripe reflection,
the representative demands that the communication
which has just been made to the Assembly shall be re-
ferred to a committee to be reported on."
After this declaration, and that of the other
members of the Confederation, the Federal As-
sembly adopted the following resolution
" let. The Diet expresses its gratitude for the impor-
tant communication, which has been made to it, and
the great joy, which it feels at the accord existing be-
tween the Governments of Prussia and Austria. It re-
cognises in that accord the essential foundation of the
strict union of Germany, which can alone guarantee all
the interests of the latter ; it recognises also that it is
necessary for this union to be duly manifested by the
legal organ of the will and of the acts of the Confedera-
tion, in order that no one can doubt that all the Con-
federated States are firmly resolved to remain faithfully
united together in any trials which the future may re-
serve to the country. 2dly. In order that such a mani-
festation may appear at the same time as the result of
an enlightened conviction produced by mature reflec•
tions, it charges a special Committee to draw up a reso-
lution to that effect. '

PRUSSIA.
The Cologne Gazette, under date of Berlin, 4th,
says :—" The Duke of Saxe Gotha has left for
Gotha. In the course of the day the Duke, who
yesterday had an interview with the King, received
several diplomatic notabilities. It is in contempla-
tion to throw fresh trammels on the liberty of the
press. It is stated that the preparatory labours
for the definitive composition of the new Chamber
of Peers are advanced, and that the nominations
may take place immediately after the return of his
Majesty from sea bathing."

FR ONCE.
The news of the advance of the Russians towards
the position of the allied armies has created con-
siderable uneasiness in the moneyed world of Paris
and as will be seen by the account of the proceed-
ings at the Bourse, the French funds fell nearly 2
per cent., and the railway shares followed the course
of the public securities, though not quite in the same
proportion. The determination of the Russian ge-
neral to bring his adversaries into action as soon
as possible is looked upon not only as an indication
of confidence in his own strength, but of his de-
termination, if he can, to meet Omer Pacha in the
field. before the arrival of the English and French
armies. It is not likely, however, that Otner
Pacha will be induced to fight a pitched battle un-
til the arrival of his powerful auxiliaries, or that
the English generals will hazard an encounter under
disadvantageous circumstances. It is in fact not yet
known whether the object of the English army, in
advancing to Varna, is to make a diversion in fa-
vour of Silistria, or to cover Schumla in the event
of Omer Pacha, being forced to retreat. The semi-
official journals of Germany declare that the Rus-
sian army on the Danube is 250,000 strong.
The proposed meeting of the Emperor of Austria
and King of Prussia at Bodenbach is looked upon iu
Paris as an event of great importance, as it is suppos-
ed to have reference to the execution of the secret
a; titles of the treaty recently concluded between
the two Powers. The note sent by the Vienna
Cabinet to St. Petersburg is said to be positively
in the name of Austria alone, and not in that of
Austria and Prussia jointly. The note makes no
mention either of Prussia of the protocol of
Vienna. •
The Napoleon and Jean Bart have left Toulon
for Gallipoli, having onoard the 2,1 regiment of
the foreign legion in the service of France. It ap-
pears that this regiment is to be made the nucleus
of a foreign regiment in the service of Turkey, and
that all the refugees will be enrolled in it. By this
means the formation of a Polish legion will be
avoided.
It is reported that one of the ox-King J erome's
aides-de-camp has committed suicide, in conse-
quence of losses at the Bourse.
M. Vivien, prefect of police under Louis Philippe

M. Thiers in 1849 ; minister of public works under

It is stated positively that the Emperor and Em-
press will visit the Pyrenees this summer. Prepa-
rations are, it is said, making for their reception at

July, after the inauguration of the Boulogne t
