THE MURDERS IN GREECE.  Further diplomatic correspondence respecting the murders in Greece was issued on Saturday morning. Mr. Erskine explained that Colonel Theagenis was appointed to treat with the brigands, on their expressing a wish to deal with a person of standing, and that on two reserved points he received full latitude from the Greek Government. A letter of Mr. Herbert's testifies to the intense desire of the brigand thief for pardon. On Mr. Herbert urging the impossibility of that, the chief replied that if the representatives of England and France threatened to destroy Greece, unless the natter were quickly settled, the Greek Government would find a way to settle it in a moment. The Greek Government, meanwhile, issued orders for ti strict blockade of Oropos, where the Brigands were; the brigands to be allowed to leave and go where they would with their ransom when they had given up their captives. These terms the brigands would aot accept without the categorical pardon, as they had very little faith in their Government. They would not even go to Athens to submit to a mock trial, but suggested that a Government officer should be sent to Gropes to try them and pardon them on the spot. They again warned the captivesl that they would resent any movement of troops as a violation of the promise made to them in the last inclosure. _  A despatch from Theagenis to Zaimis relates the interview with the brigand chiefs. He urged that the constitution forbade the pardon. "And who made the constitution I" they asked. "The nation." Then let the nation assemble and alter it. We can wait 10 months if necessary, since God has sent us these prisoners for our preservation." On Tbeagenisl hinting that they had 'better not attempt to leavel Oropos they became angry, and said, "Yes, we see that very well; an ambush has been prepared for us, but we will kill the prisoners."
