GREECE.

" MUNICH, DEC. 7.—King Otho left us yesterday morni%,
He was accompanied as far as Peir (a village about two 'cart
from this) by the King and Queen, who are much affecte
parting with him, as fie is their favourite child. His brothel
(the Prince Royal) and one of his maternal uncles go lacih
e
him as far as Naples. From that place he proceeds to Otra'l
from thence to Brindisi, where he will embark for Corfu, thd,
place where he is to find his little. army, which, it is expect he
will be there awaiting his arrival. We do not expect that
will arrive at Nauplia before the end-Of January, even if e` ho
thing goes on as it should. There is scarcely a person here lc,
does not anticipate that the throne of Greece will prove to Oati
jaa
anything but a bed of roses. Factions in that unhappY lta
increase from day to day' in number and strength, and
party which is disposed towards the Bavarian Monarch is pr'
cipally so in the hope of participating in the official arranq
meat of the new Government. In this they will be disappoillt-ehy
as almost every new post will be, indeed- is already, filled
the
Germans. The impossibility of thus providing for half,:fo,
po_pulatfon of Greece was the source of Cap° d'lstfias's "i
clinics; it will also be the stumbling-block to Otho's govec,
ment. He will also be exposed to all entraves of Russian 2„,
trigue, whose interest it is 'clearly to keep the country
water so 'long as 'they cannot possess it themselves. Ccu—eo•
troth no longer denies his connexion with that court, as ara°,"e

carrying on their opposition to the settlement of any sPec"-bas

assisted the scheme of his Government during his stay here' in-
persuading the King to send his own troops with his son, the
stead of procuring volunteers. The consequence is, dislike,

persons who have lately been in Greece express an unfavourable
opinion regarding the result of this expedition, as the men who
direct it are, one and all, ridiculously ignorant of the country
they, are proceeding to govern. The regency follows the
to-morrow."

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
Papers.fmm the Cape-of-Good Hope to the 18th of October
were received in London. on Thursday last. That the colon]
was going on essentially in a prosperous manner may be in-
ferred from the official return of its exports during the month!
of July, August, and September, which were by full one-third
of greater value-than in the corresponding period of 1831. Tn°,
increase is chiefly in the articles exported to the mother collo
try, the principal of which were hides and skins, oil and win'
The exports in wool have nearly quadrupled in amount. 1t25

had established themselves among one of the tribeS to W.
northward had been driven away by the people, and had gall-
to Latakoo.

an idiom in the imagination, as well as the dialect, of our "rei,u,
