Two very important documents selected from the Pa-
pers submitted to Parliament relative to Greece, will be
found in another column, namely, the answer of Prince
LEOPOLD to the note of the Ambassadors offering him
the Sovereignty; and in which he accepts the high
honour, with such observations as his Royal Highness
thought necessary,concerning the future well being of the
nation he was called on to govern. Of these the prin-
cipal one relates to the boundary line. This he pro-
poses to ascend the left bank of the Aspropotamos, as
far as the limits laid down to the north as those of the
Canton of Vlachoe, from thence towards the East,
the natural boundary formed by the mountains which
join Mount fEta. A frontier which, the Prince says, is
" indispensable for the security of this important portion of
the new state." So far as we are enabled to judge from
the data before us, a non-compliance with the above
proposition, is the only cause assigned for the Prince's
resignation. By referring to the second document, the
answer of the provisional government to the note of the
residents, it is evident that there is a marked disinclina-
tion on the part of CAPO D'IWERIAS to conform to the
wishes of the allies, without first consulting the na-
tional representatives. After a long string of profes-
sions, as to the " unlimited gratitude," &c. which the eon-
duct of the Great Powers towards Greece, calls forth
theready acquiescence of the Russian Satrap is thus
qualified :
" In proportion, however, to the earnest desire of the govern-
ment to be the faithful Interpreter of these sentiments, is the sincere
regret which it feels at its inabWty to acquit itself of this honour-
able mission in the forms prescribed to it by the acts of the list
National Congress."

Here we have it at once plainly indicated that all the
arrangements were entered into without consulting the
wishes of the Greek people. It will, perhaps, be re-
collected by those of our readers, who take an interest on
this subject, that we alluded very strongly both to the
injustice and impolicy of so uncerimoniously deciding
the fate of a people, who have made such a
glorious stand for freedom, when the nomination of
Prince LEOPOLD was first announced. A very slight
glance at this document proves, that while Russia fully
agrees to all that has been done at Paris and London, her
agents will strain every nerve to create new obstacles in
Greece. This fact is surely too palpable to escape the at-
tention of Lord ABERDEEN I As connected with the sys-
tematic plan of the Russian Cabinet, we do not for a
moment doubt, that the most alarming communications
have been made to deter the Prince from proceeding
to Greece. When, therefore, the stumbling block of
the boundary line, and the representations from interested
agents, are coupled with the prospect of momentous
changes at home, there is undoubtedly some excuse for the
extraordinary act which continues to occupy so large a
share of public attention.
With regard to the dislike manifested by the Greeks
to give up Acarnania, nothing can be more just or na-
tural. The people of that province have made greater
sacrifices for independence than any other section of the
Confederacy ; whereas the range of Mount (Eta is abso-
lutely necessary for the security of the new State against
foreign aggression. In the observations made by the Times
of this morning, it is put forward as a set-off against
giving up Acarnania, that the allies have agreed to give
up Negropont. We are enabled to inform our contem-
porary that they might as well have given the Morea
back to the Turks as this most important tract. The
truth is, that the power possessing Negropont can at all
times invade Attica and Livadia without any effectual op-
position ; so that it is quite as indispensable to the safety
of the new state, as the line for which Prince LEOPOLD
is said to have insisted.
Taking it for granted that the resignation is indisso-
luble, we hope another choice will be made forthwith,
and that the party chosen may possess the requisite
talents for making himself respected, and forming such
a government as shall put an end to those rival fac-
tions which threaten Greece with new calamities.—
Upon the subject of the boundary line, we cannot con-
ceive on what principle the Allies could persevere—re-
fusing the earnest prayer of the whole Greek people.
We conclude by repeating, that the speedy settlement
of the question is entitled to the most serious attention
of Ministers.

The nomination of M. DZ PZYBRONET as a member
of the POLIGNAC cabinet is said to occupy undivided at-
tention at Paris, and cannot fail to increase the rancour
of party to an unusual degree. When the unpopularity
of the V t LELLE Ministry, of which M. DE PETILKONIT
formed the most conspicuous part is considered, the
effect produced by this event is not at all to be wondered
For ourselves, we consider it as the triumph of the
ultra royalists, and shall anxiously wait for the result
of the new elections. Want of room again obliges us to
defer some observations suggested by the present crisis.
From the arrival of Count MAITUCHEWITZ at Paris,
and his conference with the foreign ambassadors there,
tt would appear that Russia is disposed to co-operate in
the projects of France against Northern Africa. This is
a curious and important feature in the news of the day.
A letter from Lisbcn, dated the 28th of April, says
" a report is spread that the Emperor Don Pawn, has
