GREECE.

The Allgemeine Zeitung has a letter from Athens,
which says that Greece has not been in such an
agitated state as at present since the Greek revo-
lution. Addresses are being sent to the King from
all parts of the country, urging him.to declare war
against Turkey. The_Phanarists, who live in Thes-
salia and Epirus, and who at the present time
have Paikoe at their head, have determined to
organise themse:ves, in case they shall he assisted by
the Greeks. The Government, however, remains
perfectly passive. The Porte seems to be well
advised of the state of affairs in Greece, and has
placed near the frontier of the latter two corps of
observation of 12,000 men each. One of the above
corps is commanded by Said Pacha, and will be
stationed at Sadatsche, in Thessalia ; while the
other, stationed at Arta, in Epirus, will be directed
by the son of the Pache of Janina. In view of such
a proceeding on the part of the Porte, the Govern-
ment of Greece cannot remain idle. A large corps
is to 133 collected at Zeitem, ostensibly with the
view of protecting' the country against robbers.
