THE EFFORTS OF RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA TO CRUSH
SWITZERLAND.
A Joint note from Austria and Prussia has been
addressed to the French cabinet, calling on the
government to unite with them in obligng Swift
zerand to expel the revolutionary leaders who are
there sheltered. Should France refuse, those GO
vernments are determined on compelling the Swiss

SERIOUS RUPTURE WITH ENGLAND-sBizURE OF THE
GRIEK INSTRUMENTATION OF FRANCE, ETC.
Advlces from Athens to the 10th and 10Th ult. in
elusive, state serious rupture had taken place be-
tween the English and Greek governments, and
that total suspension of relations had taken place
between the two governments.
Ii appears that some old claims upon the Greek
government remained unsettled, and also in refe-
renee to some islands belonging to the Ionian
group, which have been usurped by the Greek
government. Dates TO the 22d, from Athens,
state that four or five war vessels, belonging to
King Ohio, were captured by the English squad
ron, and that all Greek merchantmen were prohi-
bite from leaving or entering their respective ports.
1t appears that The policy Of the Greek govern
ment is TO remain passive until the decision Of the
French and Russian cabinets has been taken on
the subject. Whatever the explanations of the
British Minister at Paris may have been, they have
been deemed perfectly satisfactory by the French
government. Ergo, Greece Is not likely to re-
ceive much assistance in that quarter.
IL rs reported that England has accepted the me-
daton OF France in this affair." and that the French
able, few days, state that the misunderstand-
ing between England and Greece had been amlca-
