GRE ECE.

ATHENS, DEC. 20, 1/313 —ln the National As-
4embly warm and lengthened debates toe!: pl:lce
in the address to the Royal siieveli which ter-
minated by a great majority in rayonr of the d=e-
cision of the Committee appointed to Army it up.
On a division the opponents could :unster only
11, while the number on the other side was 179.
The following is the Address agreed to:—
" The representatives of the nation, thankful to Heaven for
the appearance of your Majesty in the midst of the Assembly on
She Bth of November, fulfil a most grateful duty in expressing
to your Majesty the warmest sentiments of joy and gratitude.
" Interpreting-the grave words of your Majesty as a happy
augury for the future prosperity of Greece, they feel that the
bonds which, from the year 1833, have milted the Greeit nation
to your Majesty, became indissoluble from the moment when
the generous impulse of your paternal heart consummated the
national desire so unanimously expressed.
" The Hellenic nation, 0 King ! during the whole period
of its holy struggle for independence, having consecrated by the
acts of its successive national assemblies the principles and
bases of the constitutional system, feel sincerely grateful for the
institutions which have been established from the commence-
ment of your Majesty's reign, in conformity with those prin-
ciples. But this gratitude became more profound from that
hour when your Majesty, complying with the wishes of the
nation lately declared, was pleased to crown your acts by grant.
ing a representative government—a convention between the
nation andsits king, which will consecrate for ever the rights of
the people and the privileges of the throne.
" Yes, Sire, this convention alone, thin constitutional Go-
vcrntnent alone, oan give life and durability to the liberal de-
crees, published since your Majesty's accession to the throne,
-which had nearly become ineffective from circumstances en-
tirely contrail to the good intentions of your Majesty and the
wishes of the nation—this alone can establish the political fabric
upon immovable foundations.
" The Assembly, participating the desire of your Majesty to
effect all that may seenre the prosperity of the State, will be
most ready to make reciprocal concessions for such purpose,
and will employ its utmost endeavours, on the one hand, to
miapt the fundamental laws of the Constitution to the real wants
the Hellenic people, and render them worthy the expectations
of the civilised world ; and, on the other lilted, to insure the
dignity and power of the monarchy, consecrating CTI behalf of
the throne all necessary rights, so as to secure the interests of
individuals, and the general happiness of the natio:.
" Your Majesty will be pleased to believe that, under all cir-
cumstances, the Greek people will be ready to acknowledge
your love for them, and that the repre3intate.es of the nation
will duly appreciate it.
" The Assembly will enter devoutly upon its great work,
animated with a spirit of rectitude and patriotism, and, as-
sisted in its laboUrs by your Majesty, will hasten to atfiX to the
constitution the seal of firmness and stability.
"In such manner the National Assembly, under Divine pro-
tection fulfilling its mission, ventures to hope that it may as ore
/sir ever the happiness of Greece, in inseparable union with
the glory and splendour of your Majesty's throne."
The Committee appointed to draw up the Constitution are
reseeding rapidly with their work. It is understood that they
have already agreed upon more than forty articles.
It has been reported in the German papers that the Em-
peror of Russia has declared he will never resew his relations
with Greece until those who took part in the revolution of the
3d of September are punished. fhe National Assembly, to
mark their indignant sense of this menace, passed a unanimous
vote, granting to all the officers and men who were in the
apital, and engaged in the movement, pecuniary psi, ileges
and other immunities, which they, in a spirit of generous pa-
triotism, have declined.

STATUE or Silt D. WthxzE.—The statue of our
ute lamented and pOpular painter, Sir David Wilkie, which
has
..ons: 'tut been finished by Mr. Joseph, is now erected in the
Nati
Gallery ; arid yesterday morning the public were, for
the first time, gratified with a sight of it. It is paced in the
ball, at the foot el the staircase, in a light admirably adapted
for its due display. The figur se of white marble, and being
placed on a pedestal of a gyish colour, the contrast is
striking, and a pleasing efeect is produced at first glance..
The deceased artist is represetite,l4 in an attitude of contempla-
tion. His left hand is supported on his sketch-book, and in his
right, which is elevated, as if about to transfer tome
brilliant
thought or some happy effect to paper, he holds his port.
*warn. A cloak of ample dimensions is thrown gracefully
ever his shoulders, and this, besides improving the lines of the
4tomposition, has the advantage of concealing many of the sharp '
singles and unpicturesque forms of the modern costume. The
likeness of the great painter is striking, and the features are
chiselled with much delicacy of detail, freedom, and play.
'The figure however, is scarcely massive enough, and its ge-
neral appearance is more youthful than that presented by Sir
D. Wilkie a few years anterior to his death. On one side of
.the pedestal a recess is sculptured, in wl,ich the favourite
palette of the painter is suspended. During the whole of yes-
terday this statue was the great object of the attention of the
company which frequented the National Gallery.
