GREECE•

---
By the Levant mail we have received Athens
journals to fhe 9th and Constantinople journals to the
6th instant. The Courrier d'Athenes of the 9th
eontains the following account of an attempt to mur-
der M. Mussußus, the Turkish ambassador at the
Court of Greece :

" A deplorable event has just occurred, th add to the
sad picture which Greece now presents. In the after-
noon of the sth, M. Mussurus was in his cabinet with
his wife, when one of the servants of the embassy en-
tered suddenly and fired a pistol at him. The minister
raised his arm to protect his head, and received the
discharge in his elbow. The assassin fled im-
mediately, crying, Long live Greece ! I pain
the the tyrant ; ' but he was arrested in
the street and lodged in prison. His name is Apoa-
toll Nadir, a native of Constantinople, and 25 years
of age. It is said that he had no personal resentment
against -M. Mussurus, who had in fact always treated
him with great kindness, and his crime is generally as-
cribed to political fanaticism. The wound of M. Mus-
surus was instantly attended to, and two shots were
extracted, but there are three others still remaining,
having lodged in the bone. On hearing of this event, the
King immediately sent his ade-de-camp, Rear-Admiral
Sahini, to express to M. MusEurus his deep regret."
The rebellion In the Northern Provinces still
continues.
