GREECE.

ATHENS, OCT. 20.—King Otho is luxuriating in what
he calls his victory over England—that is, in having
obliged Mavrocordato to resign the Ministry, by which
it has fallen into the hands of Christides and his set,
who are complete creatures of his own. A number of
the Constitutional party determined on raising a public
.subscription in order to purchase a house or a small
e.;tate to be presented to Mavrocordato as a mark of
their esteem, and as a mark of national gratitude for his
long and valuable services to the Greek nation ; it was
announced through the public papers that a sum of
20,000 drachms was already collected, and that all
those who wished to contribute their mite should

• I apply to Professor Negris, of the University, and
a M. Agellastos, a Sciot banker. The Govern-
ment took the alarm at such a decided step of
' the national party. They wrote furious articles against
the subscription in their own paper, the Courrier Grec.
But not content with that, the treasurers were cited be-
, fore the police court, ordered to give up the names of all
those who had subscribed (which, of course, they re.
[ fused), were threatened with prosecution, &c. ; they,
' nothing daunted, declared that they would receive any
subscription offered them, and formally protested against
such illegal proceedings on the part of the Government.
Orders have been sent to all Governors, Heads of De-
, pertments, &c., and particularly to the gendarmerie, to
pre:rent any individual from subscribing ; and if a single
einp/os,e of the Government dare to subscribe, he will be
.4 immedistely dismissed.
I have, however, something stranger still to relate to
you of King Otho. The Mirarque Tzinos (the man so
often accused of torture. &c., and against whom the
British mission has had to complain so often) was tried
yesterday for several illegal acts, such as having struck
the Editor of one of the papers in a cowardly manner ;
c ,1 having illegally tortured divers British and Turkish
s ibjects, &c. The trial is exciting the greatest bi-
te. rest, and, from the immense number of witnesses, is
lilt ely to last some days. However, what does King Otho
do on the first day of the trial? He invites Tzinos to dine
at ( 'calm One of the Aides-de-Camp, thinking it might
be s, 'me mistake, determined (a bold thing, bye the by)
to as, k his Majesty if he was aware of the circumstance
that .'t he man was on his trial, it being against all rule and
regu la don that under such circumstances an employe
shoul dbe invited to Court. The King, however, replied
.he •wa Btu be tried for a few " nonsensical things."
lt ant ha.ppy to inform you that the sentence has just ,
bets i published in the affair of the Mirarque Tzinos, and
noti vithstanding all Court intrigue the Judges found him
guilty, and he is sentenced to 40 days' imprisonment ;
he a sys he knows he shall have his Majesty 'S pardon. It
will be a dangerous experiment
as his Majesty will be
ca Us d his abettor in torturing his subjects.
