GREECE.

------ -
The last despatches from Athens, up to the 11th,
mention that Marshal Pelissier was expected at the
Pirmu s.
The Russians having sent back to Greece the
Greek Legion that they had formed, the Greek
government refused to receive these troops, and
demanded that they should return to Odessa. The
Cabinet of King Otho have in the meantime ap-
plied to the English Admiral for his assistance in
supporting their protest.

RUSSIA.
A. letter from St. Petersburg, in the Debats,
says :—" The former commander of Kinbourn, Gen.
Kochanowitch, has been acquitted by the council
of war, and placed for the time being in the ca-
valry. On the other band, General Bodisco, com-
mander of Bomarsund, has been placed on the
retired list. Prince Menschikoff lives in a very
retired manner, and remains a stranger to all poli-
tical affairs. General Paniutine, who during the
war commanded the army concentrated at Moscow,
has been appointed military governor of Warsaw.
All the officers who possessed high commands
during the late war have thus received fresh com-
mands, with the exception of Prince Menschikoff."
There is a lively critical warfare being carried on
still in military circles on the subject of the battle
of the Alma, in which the Generals commanding in
that battle seem to be the leaders. In connection
with it the Simpheropol correspondent of the
Northern, Bee mentions a variety of sympathetic
remarks from French officers ; among them is tb•
following
The present peace is only for a time, just to clean
up their arms, but afterwards the French and the Ml°.
siane will not again be found fighting against each
other."
The Caucasus contains a report, dated April, of
the expedition of a detachment, consisting of the
garrisons of the fortresses Fresnaia and Wosdvi-
schenski, in the course of which the Russians on
their way to the Black Mountains and back de-
stroyed everything they could meet with in the way
of huts and stores of corn. It is mentioned further
that Schamyl has married his son, who was brought
up as a Russian officer, to the daughter of the Naib
Tagil, whose territories had bean laid waste in the
above-mentioned foray of the Russians.

BUCHAREST, July 16.—The Hospodar, Ghika,
has been appointed Kaimakan, and will immedi-
ately resume the reins of Government at Jassy.
The Boyard, Theodore Baloch, has been ap-
pointed Kaimakan of Moldavia.

A letter from Vienna, in the Cologne Gazette, of
the 13th, says :—" The document in which Den-
mark attempts to justify her conduct in the affair
of the duchies is daily expected at Berlin and
Vienna. It is believed that a special envoy will be
despatched to the two caPitals to explain the facts
of the case."— We learn from another source that
the Danish Councillor of State and Chamberlain,
Baron de Reedtz, had arrived at Vienna, and
after an interview with Count Bille Brabe, Minister
of Denmark, was presented to Count de Buol.

REPRESENTATION OF DORSET AND DORCHESTER.—Mr
Charles James Radclyffe, the High Sheriff of the county

METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL.—At a meet-
ing of the inhabitants of Hackney, held on Wednesday
last, it was resolved that a communication should be
made to Sir Wm. Clay, Bart., Mr. C. S. Butler, and the
members for the county, with re pest to the amendment
to the Metropolis Local Act, introduced by the Earl of
Ralinesbary, and passed in the House of Lords, "That
Sturges Bourne's Act should be in future the guidance
for voting in the various parish vestries ; and that the
ratepayers respectfully request the attention and earnest
opPosition of their honourable representatives to the un-
just attempt to give undue influence to property in place
of individual judgment.",
