ATHENS, Nov. 10.-The King opened the
Chamber of Deputies Iast week, in person, with
speech from the throne. These periodical state
meuts OF tne current state OF affairs, made
by Royalty at the opening Of the Legislature
and much in vogue in Europe at present. rarely mean
anything In reality. They all drawn up after the
universal formula. the object q" which to try to
make common platitues suffice for reticent worldly wis
DOM King Georges speech is framed in tho we'll
known stereotype FORM and, however the Press here
may dssect it to discover meaning another and
suit party interests and party aspirations, means as
usual, almost nothing at all. The King de-
cares that his relations with all foreign
Powers are most friendly and satisfactory. There
IS sequel TO this sentence, however which Is taken to
mean something and hrcfore caused sensation.
"I sincerely hope" it is said, that the LAurium ques
tiOn will not disturb the friendly relations with some
OF these Powers. This refers to concession Of the
Lauiium silver and lead mines made to Francoltalian
mining company years and in regard to which
the Chamber passed law, last year, which the mining
company considers to constitute an infringement
Of its rights. The French and italian Govern
ments have repeatedly made strong representations
to that of Greece in regard to this law complained OF by
the FrenchItaan Company, and strongly urged some
pared bill the subject, to DO presented TO the Cham
Der early IN this session. Hence the passage re-
fcrred to in the Kings speech meant to con-
vcy gentle hint in season TO the Deputies in q mat
ter which might enecnder serious diplomatic difficulties
The Chamber began its Sittings last Friday, and the
very first vote it gave occasioncd complete change

q considerable majority the Ministerial one. In
consequence the minority the Ministry thought proper

assumed the Government to-day.
