 Greece.-The Hamburg Correspon- dent contains the following article, da- ted Banks of Neya, Jan. %. " It is re- ported that our government has trans mitted to Lord i4etysbury, 2 detailed note respecting the affairs of Greece. 1t is also asserted, that the Russian Go yernment insists on the principle, that as yet no alteration bemade in the Govern ment of Greece, and that the Adminis- tration ofthat country shall continue to the indefatigable zeal of the interested and philanthropic President. The choice of the Sovereign, it is added, is to be left to the wishes and will of the Greek nation, without any interference on the part of the Allied Powers.
