GREECE.
SPEECH OF KING- OTHO.
The legislative session of the Greek Chambers
was opened by King Otho on the 19th of December
with the usual formalities. His Majesty made the

A letter from Besancon (Doubs) mentions that
two companies of infantry of the garrison of that
town had left for the canton of Morteau ; and that
it was very probable that a French army would be
established on the eastern frontier "to be ready
for all emergencies." It was said that the army
would consist of not less than 60,000 men,—that
Marshal Canrobert would be named to command
it,—and that the head-quarters would be Besancon.
This intelligence is generally corroborated by the
local papers. Notwithstanding these warlike
rumours a pacific solution is far from being
despaired of even now.

of their representatives, all the affection I enter-

and fidelity they have always shown towards we,
and which is the indissoluble link between the
Throne and the nation. It was by manifesting

regency intrusted to the Queen, my beloved 0011"

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
edition), in a letter dated yesterday, says :
" A telegraphic despatch from Berne of yester-
day's date announces the arrival of an 'Envoy
Extraordinary' from the Emperor Napoleon. It
is probable that an attache has been sent with
despatches to the French Resident Minister, but
I doubt much whether any person to whom the
designation, under present circumstances, of En-
voy Extraordinary' can be applied, has left Paris."

A. letter dated Berlin, Dec. 29, just received,
says :---" Sir Colin Campbell, who is to bring
over the insignia of the Order of the Bath, and
present them to the Prince next Thursday in the
name of Queen Victoria, has not arrived to-day
at the apartments taken for him at the Hotel
Royal, and where he is hourly expected. His
non-arrival excites the more interest and anxiety,
as his departure from England for this place has
been known here these two days."

BERNE, TUESDAY ETENING,

Councillor Furrer's journey to Frankfort was

occasioned by a telegraphic message from the re

presentatives of the German Governments, con-
vened for the purpose of devising means to pre-
vent a conflict. The Federal Council replied
telegraphically, announcing the despatch of Coun-
cillor Furrer, who will also visit the Courts of
Southern Germany. The new French proposal
was not made by an Envoy, but through M. Bar-
mann, who was authorised for the purpose by the

Emperor.
The American Minister has left for Berlin.
The steamers on the Lake of the Four Cantons
are armed with artillery. All the Swiss fortresses

and castles are put in a state of defence.

BERNE, TUESDAY NIGHT,

The National Council has adopted unanimously
the proposition passed by the Federal Council on
Saturday, fur the grant of an unlimited credit.

BERLIN, TUESDAY,
Colonel Manteuffel has set out for Vienna.

STUDGARDT, DEC. 30,

The Moibiteur Officiel publishes the Report of
ho Commission relative to the passage of Prussian

troops.

The Commission, relying on the positive right
of Allies, refuses the demand of Prussia as a po-
litical intrusion.
