GREECE.

The following official documents will be found in•
teresting as an illustration of the political state of a
country towards which the best sympathies of Europe
are directed. The National Assembly of Greece at
Epidaurus has expressed its determination 41 to live and
die in firm adherence to the precepts of the Christian
religion, and that they will unceasingly struggle" to
deliver their country from the yoke of the infidels:
DECREE OF THE THIRD NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

The Greek nation has anxiously longed for that period
when the representatives of the different provinces of
the Confederacy, vested with full powers, might meet
in the thud National Assembly, and consul on the
plans to be adopted to promote its interests. This has
been the only view of the Congress convoked at Epi-
daurus on the 6th (18th) of April instant.
But 'scruce'y had it commenced its deliberations in
the manner prescribed by the representative system, as
appears from its acts, when the recent calamity of Mis-
s rlonghi, and the fresh preparations of the enemy both
by sea and land, called its attention to the imminent,
and at the same time real state of Grecce, now thaithe
Sultan threatens the whole of the Greek people with
extermination. The Congress therefore considered it
neither possible nor convenient to apply itself to objects
which required repose, and long and profound delibe-
rations. The safery of the Greek nation, the basis of
its political existence, was calculated to excite, and has
excited, the solicitude of the National Assembly, which,
deferring for the moment all political considerations,
hastens to rouse the physical and moral energies of the
people, and to call them into action with the greatest
promptitude and efficacy, in order to avert the impend-
ing danger. The Assembly has therefore thought ad-
visable tb concentrate all the powers of a Government
in an administrative commission, organised in as simple
a manner as possible, having in mind, the example of
culla nations in similar cases. It has considered it
prudent, and has consequently decreed, that the admi-
nistration of the military and political affairs of Greece
shall be confided to the following imlividuals:—Petros
Mavromichalis- Andreas Zaimis, A. Delijanais, ti.
Sessinis, Soiridion Tricoupis, Andreas hens, Johannes
Vlachoi, D. Tzamados, A. H. Anirgyros, A. Mcnar-
chides, and F. Demetriacopalos, who are to compose
the abovementioned administrative commission, and
who are competent to direct the affairs of Greece in her
present circumstances, having given sa isfactory proofs
of their experience and ability, end of their sincere pa-
triotism. The duration of the commission is fixed fro n
this day to the end of next September, when the repre.
senratives of the people will again commence their de-
liberations, and fix on a settled form of Government
for Greece.

For this purp-se, the National Assembly has selected
,from its owls body thirteen individuals, who are to be
called the Corn-nission of the Assembly, and to be
composed of Germanns, Archbishop of Patras ; Por-
phyries„ Archbishop of Arta ; Pannutzos Notaras, A.
Copen:ttas, Anastasins L-ndos, G. Dat iotes, S. Cabo-
'giropulos, George Ainian, B. Boudouris, G. Boucouris,
N. S. Belisarius, E. Xenos, and Nicholas R nieros, who
are deputed to call together the representatives to the
National Assembly at the time pointed out in the De-
cree No. 5, and to tate the best measures for the public
good connected with the foreign relations of Greecv.
