The Augsburgh Gazette has the following from
Athens, dated the 6th :—" The Minister of Finance
presented to the Senate a Bill, demanding a credit of
113,420 drachmas, to increase the salaries of the
Ephores and other employes in the finance depart-
ment, which measure was rejected. The father of
the Minister voted against him, and the Minister
then tendered his resignation, which was accepted.
His colleagues told him that they must seek a better
support than he was able to give them, si❑ce even his
own father voted against him. General Tza.vmaxs,
who also voted against the Ministry, has had his
pay reduced by one half ; it is said that he
will be sent into Acarnania, to fight against the
brigands."

ITALY.
A letter from Rome says that every day brings a
new event. Oa the 11th a French soldier was
stabbed in one of the most populous quarters.
General GEMEAU has published a proclamation, of
which the following is the analysis. After mention-
ing the different attacks upon French soldiers, the
General suppresses all permissions to carry arms.
Firearms, swords, and poniards, were to be given up
before the 17th. After that date domiciliary visits
were to take place, and every inhabitant found in the
possession of arms is to be tried by court-martial
Owners of houses are to be held responsible for the
arms which may be found in them. Persons carry-
ing sword-canes are to be arrested by the patrols,
and kept in prison until they have paid a fine of 15
Roman crowns. On the ; day when this proclama-
tion was issued a person was assassinated at the cor-
ner of the Yin Condotti, only 100 yards from the
residence of General GEMEAU.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 17th publishes the
law on the accumulation of offices. By this law a
functionary cannot fill two offices paid by the State,
unless in the following cases :—When the salary of a
public office does not amount to 8,000 fr., an office
depending from the department of Public Instruction
may be added to it, provided it does not encroach
upon the time allotted to the former one. Professors
may enjoy two offices belonging to the department of
Public Instruction. In such cases the smaller salary
is reduced by one-third, when the sum total of the
salaries exceeds 5,000 f. The Members of the Sani-
tary Corps may also enjoy two offices on the same
conditions. Non-commissioned officers and soldiers
of the corps of veterans and invalids are not subjected
to any restrictions with respect to the places they
may have in the various public bureaux. No func-
tionary in active service is allowed to enjoy, besides, a
life interest or pension payable by the State for former
services. Professors' fees, however, are exempted
from these restrictions, as well as salaries attached to
theo rder of St. Maurice and Lazarus, and other orders
