debate. It complains of a wrong application of the law respecting

fundamental law.

GREECE.

The Austrian Olserrer of theilst instant contains the following
statement respecting Greece :
" The land and sea forces of this new state have latterly experi-
eaccd several changes. The land forces consist of regular and irre-
gular troops, under the supretae command of General Tread ; the
head of his staff is M. Moliere; the head of the Commissariat is M.
Sanguer, both Frenchmen ; the under Commissary is a M. Kolbe,
a Prussian ; the Chief Clerk of the Commissariat, M. Cottier, is a
.Frenchman ; the Paymaster, AL Palo, an lonian ; the head of the
Engineer Corps, M. Gantot, a Frenchman ; and the Director of the
Central School, of the Arsenal, and of the Artillery, is Colonel
Pansies, a Frenchman ; and, lastly, Captain Odon, Dire; or of tho
Works carrying on at the Arsenal, is likewise a Frenchman. The
Commander of the regular troops is Colonel Gerard, a Frenchman;
and the officers under him are partly French and partly Piedmontese.
" These regular corps consist of 2,247 men, including 50 men
belonging to the arsenal, and 29 invalids. The garrisons of the
different fortresses arc composed of 850 men; that of Navarino is
under the onlers-of the Neapolitan Colonel Piss, and that of Pala-
ni ide under the orders of a Swede, Captain Mohrberg.
" Corinth has a garrison of two hundred and fifty men, under
the command of a Dane, Captain Fabricius ; Patras, with the
Castle of Mores, is commanded by a Greek, named Rayko, with
524 men ; Methane and Paros have but sixty men, under the
command of a Corsican named Abbati ; Lepanto and the Castle
of Rumely have 258 men, under the orders of Captain Pieri, a
Piedmontese; Villani, a Neapolitan officer, has been appointed
commander of Corm ; and Pisa, likewise of that nation, has been
appointed to the command of Miasoloughi, with a garrison of 572
irregular troops.
" Vonitxa and Alalvasia are commanded by Greek officers, with a
garrison of 130 Idriotes, and 150 of other nations; Grabuss is
commanded by a Dane, from Altona ; Navarino and Alodon are oc-
cupied by the French troops. In the Mores, 300 men are at the
disposal of the Commissariat-General. The irregular Greek troops
on the continent of Greece consist of 8,492 men ; the army of West-
ern Greec2 of 3.962 ; and that of Eastern Greece of 4,530.
" Count Augustin Capo d'lstria and Colonel Rhodius are in.
trusted with the organization of these troops.
" The Greek land forces consist of 10,759 men, and their annual
pay exceeds 15,000,000 of Turkish piasters.
• Count Viario Capo d'lstria has the command of the sea forces,
consisting of 1 frigate of 64 guns, 1 corvette of 26, three steamers of
4 and i 2 guns, and five gun-boats and 28 small craft carrying one
gun each, and several transports.
• This navy costs annually 2,000,000 of piasters; the expenses
of the land and sea forces amount to 17,000,000, exceeding by
1,000,000 the territorial revenue of Greece ; the other charges of the
state lease a deficit of 15,000,000, not including the interests of
loans.
"In lieu of the budget usually presented to the Chambers, a re-
port to the King on the administration of the finances for the year
1830 has just been addressed to the Peers and Deputies. This re-
port, which embraces all the parts of the most important branch of
the public service, contains a summary statement of the measures'
that for a number of years have gradually improved the system of
the CLntral Administration of Finances by procuring important
savings. The recapitulation which closes the report computes at
20,760,000 francs the savings hitherto made, owing to the gradual
development of parliamentary inquiries and discussions.”—Courier
Francais.

The Prussian State Gazette contains the following
article respecting Greece :—" It has been decided that the three
feat powers shall take Greece under their protection. The other
will be invited to accede to the protocol. According to a report,
the contracting powers reserve to themselves the right of interference
with the Porte in favour of the inhabitants of Samos and Candia, in
the event of their being maltreated by the Turkish authorities. The
fund* which would arise front a new loan are to be principally ap-
plied to the pay and support of the Greek troops. The French
troops are to remain for one year more, or perhaps longer, for the
protection of the new institutions in that country."

A grand card-party was given on Sunday evening in
the King's apartments at the Tuileries. Independently of the no-
bility and officers of state, who have at all times the privilege of the
entree, and who are always at the card-parties, levees, &c. at Court,
upwards of 1,200 personages of distinction, who had received cards
of invitation, filled the various apartments. At a quarter past eight
his Majesty, with the Dauphin, entered the Grand Council Cham-
ber, and was received with acclamations of " Vive /e Rot !" Here
his Majesty's card.table was placed ; but, without stopping, he
passed through the other rooms, addressing himself to those on
every side ~with condescension and kindness. At half-past
nine the King returned to the Council Chamber, where he formed
his party at whist, which consisted of the Viscountess d'Agoult,
one of the Ladies in waiting on the Dauphiness ; the. Prince de
Casteleiesla, Neapolitan Ambassador ; and Count liJulineu, Wur-
temberg Minister. The Dauphiness made a party at mart* in the
Gallery of Diana, where there were 11 tables. The Duchess de
Berry took her seat in the Throne Room, where there were three
carte tables. There were also four card tables in tie Salon de la
Pain. The Dauphin continued throughout the evening to pass.
from room to room, holding long conversations with various per.
sonages.—Parts Papers.
