FRANCE.

PARIS, OCT. 6.
The journey of the King of Holland to Paris has
been delayed.

The Moniteur de l'Armee publishes a letter from
Reunion announcing the death of the Queen of
Madagascar on the 18th of August. Her son Rakoto
had been proclaimed King after the murder of his
cousin, the competitor for the throne, and of the
Minister who was the chief of the old Malagache
party.

The same letter adds that Rakoto, before his
accession, had formally demanded a French protec-
torate.

The majority of the French merchants had pre-
sented their congratulations to the King.
The country is said to be tranquil.
The King of Prussia arrived at Compiegne this
evening at 6 o'clock precisely, and was received by
the Emperor at the terminus.

Both sovereigns wore plain clothes.
The Emperor was accompanied by the Duke de
Montebello and General Fleury.
Their Majesties proceeded from the terminus to
the Palace in an open carriage, without any escort,
the people shouting by the way, " Long live the
King !" " Long live the Emperor !"
In the courtyard of the Palace the Zouaves
formed a double line.

The Empress, with the Prince Imperial and her
Ladies of Honour, awaited the Emperor and the
King of Prussia in the vestibule at the foot of the
grand staircase. On their arrival the Empress ad-
vanced to the threshold. The King graciously
kissed her hand, caressed the Prince Imperial, and
afterwards offered the Empress his arm.
Their Majesties then ascended to the Imperial
apartments.

The staircase was lined on both sides by the
Cent Guards.

In the evening thero will be a grand dinner.
A hunt by torchlight will afterwards take place.

GREECE.
A letter from Athens, published by the Augsburg
Gazette, says:—
" Young Dousios has evinced during his examination a

presence of mind, intrepidity, and strength of conviction
that have astonished everybody. His family had done all
they could to make people believe he was insane; but he
has rendered that plea impossible by his avowals, and by
defending the crime he has committed. When asked if he
bad any accomplices, be replied—. I am not so foolish as
to have accomplices in an act which, if it failed, could only
bring trouble on me; and if I had any, do you think I
would denounce them ? Your question was altogether un-
necessary.' When asked whether he was aware of the
enormity of the execrable crime he had committed, he
answered indignantly, In the first place, sir, I insist that
you withdraw the expression "execrable." My action is
any thing but a crime. What you deem a crime is, in my
estimation, a virtue. Is it a crime to free one's country
from tyranny, and to make known the wishes of public
opinion ?' And to the question—' What has the public to
complain of ?' he replied—' Of the absence of a National
Guard, of the succession question, still undecided, and
of the wretched economical condition of
,the country.'
Then ho added, The situation of Greece must be changed;
the King does nothing towards the deliverance of the Greek
provinces subject to Turkey. He is an obstacle to the
realisation of the grand idea which animates every Greek.
The consequence will be, sooner or later, a revolution and
much bloodshed. It was to prevent these that I was
anxious to destroy the dynasty and sacrifice my myself.
I only regret that I did not succeed, If I did not regret it
how should I ever have been able to make up my mind to
the attempt ?' "
