GREECE.

The Greek Minister in Paris has officially com-
municated to the Journal des Debats, the documents
relating to the recent events which have occurred in
that kingdom. The Debuts publishes the most im-
portant of these in extenso, and gives a summary of
the others.

The documents are marked A, B, C, &c.
Letters A and B are merely demanding and ap-
pointing interviews between the English Minister
and the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs. C is
from the Greek Minister to Mr. NYSE, dated
" Athens, 5 (17th) Jan.. 1850.
" The Minister of Foreign Affairs of his Majesty the
King of Greece, regards as a duty to protest to the
British Minister, the grief and astonishment which his
Mjesty arid his Government felt, on learning the mo-
tive of the continuance of the English squadron at
Salamis. M. Loados has flithfully reported to his
Majesty the interview which Mr. Wyse and Admiral
Parker had had with him, and it is by the orders of
his Majesty, deliberated on in council, that. he
makes the following observations and declarations.
The claims made by the British legation to the Minister
of Foreign Affairs. are six in number—one of which,
that of -Al. Finlay, has been already arranged between
him and the Government. It would be easy for the
Minister to discuss the five others, and to show that his
predeces:ors have made known the viers of the King's

" Athens, Jan., 1850.
" Monsieur,—l have just received with the deepest
regret the not which you have addressed to me to-day,
and in which you refuse, in the name of the King of
Greece and his Government, to satisfy the demands
made in the note which I was under the painful neces•
sity of sending to you yest 3rday. Admiral Parker, not-
withstanding his great consideration fur the Greek Go-
vernment in the execution of the orders on which he is
called at present to act, La; request/2d me to inform you
that under the pros ent circumstances it is impossible fur
him to permit any vessel of the Greek Government to
sail, and that having perceived indications of a move-
ment amongst the vessels of the Greek Government in
the Piraeus, he requests seriously that orders may be
immediately given by the Greek Government that all
movements may he at once suspended.

QUEEN, IN THE BAY OF SALAMIS.
" Jar. 19, 1850.

" Sir,—Rtfarring to the note which I had the honour
of sending you yesterday, to demand, by the wish of
Admiral Sir W. Parker, that the Government of his
Majesty the King of Greece should give orders to sus-
pend all movement amongst the vesseli in the Pirreas, I
am now requested hy the Admiral to inform you that
the Grc,k s:e untr the Otho having steamed out, not-
withstanding that demand, the Admiral found himself
placed under the disagreeable necessity of causing it to
come back, and the Admiral, in consequence of the or-
ders on which ho is obliged to act, will be obliged,
amongst other measures, to order that the Otho, as well
as °tier vessels of the Greek Government, shall be con-
ducted to Salamis, and detained until the demands con
tamed in the note, which I had the honour of addre.3sing
to you on the 17th instant be satisfied.

to them the following note :

S.-NOTE ADDRESSED TO THE MINISTERS OF FRANCE
AND RUSSIA AT TUE COURT OF FRANCE.

" Athens, Jan. 21, 1850.

,
" Sir,—l have already had the honour to inform you
of what has taken p'a3e as to the steam-vessel Otho, and
the other Government vessels in the Pittetlf, and the pro-
test I have sent to the Erglish Minister against the in-
credible abuse of power exhibited against Circeze within
these few days past.

" I have dow-the honour to inform you, that some
English vessels of the squadron under Sir W. Parker
having gone to Peru?, and seized upon the ships and craft
of the arsenal, have not hesitated to violate the sanitary
regulations, universally respected fur the sake of health
and public order.

"I have also just been informed by the authorities
that the English commenced this morning to prohibit
the merchant vessels in the Pirsoas to unload or land
their cargoes without their permission, but enjoining
them (in case of necessity) then to discharge on the
coast opposite to the Custom-house. Lastly, they have
forbidden any vessel, even merchantmen, from entering
or q'iitting the Pirseus.
" I leave to your judgment and your sentiments of jus-
tice the qualification of such proceedings. The world
will see all these violent acts in their true light. It is,
however, the duty of the Government of the King to
protest a_zainst the sole light of might.
" Tho King, his Government, and the nation, have the
strongest hope of the noble and efficacious support of
(the Emperor) of (the French Republic) ; but in the
meantime vast interests are at stake—the public order,
the safety of the sta`e, and the administration of
the
country are endangered by the interruption of
communications. It is to avoid these
sirin
disas-
trous consequences that I beseech
you, sir,

without prejudice. This force
has already been taken from her, and, according to the
English threats she would soon be deprived of it entirely.
It is to you, the.), sir, that the Government of the King
must address itself in this conjuncture, and it has full
confidence that as representing a great mitten, the fiend
and benefactor of Greece, you will respond to this appeal
which an insurmountable necessity has forced us to ad-

Lastly, the papers T, 11, and V, contain dilcus-
sions of the justice of the several claims which have
been the fiundation of this unhappy aff.tir.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.—The usual
monthly meeting or this distinguished club was held on
Wednesday evening, at the Piazza Hotel, Covent
garden, Lord Alfred Paget, the commodore,- presiding:
The attendance of members was very numerous, and the
business was not over until a late hour. The report of
the sailing committee, containing various advantageous
suggestions, which were adopt() I, having been di,
cussed, the question as to the amount and
number
of prizes, with the classification of yachts entitled to
sail in the matches of the ensuing season, came
under consideration. Captain Wh Geier, the treasurer,
after entering into a very lucid statement of the
number of yachts
of various classes in the
club suggested that the races might consist of all ex-
ceeding 30 tons as first class—between 15 and 30 tons
501., and 251. Afer a great deal of

dazz'ing and Effective. The characters were varied and
numerous, and in some instances well sustained. The
supper included every delicacy of the season, and danc-
ing was kept up with great spirit till an advanced hour
of the morning. The whole arrangements reflected the
highest credit on Mr. Heileman, the proprietor.
