GREECE.  1 ATHENS, JULY 25.---We are still lingering or, ; the Greeks are determined on one thing—tbat is, t Constitution ; they are in hopes the King will giveo have a i th before bringing things to extremes. The cruntry ist overemrun with brigands. The Councillors of State tell the Government they must call a National Assembly, but the King's Bavarian advisers will not listen to it. The Bavarian Charge d'Affaires applied to the Governmerit to prosecute the paper called the Elpis, for abuse of the King of Bavaria. The tribunal of First Instance refused the accusation ; they then tried it for abuse of King Otho : fearing the Government intended to put down the press, they sentenced the responsible editor to throe months' imprisonment and 100 drachmas fine, but warded the sentence in. such a way that they name the article " a protection of King Otho against the King of Havaria." In fact, the Greeks of all parties unite the mriment there is anythine. against Bavaria or a Bavarian, General Gordon has returned to Argos much disgusted with the Government, and in Vilstern Greece, Mamouris, on whom the Government cotrated most of all the capitani, has demanded permission to resign his command. The Government, after repeated demands from the men ' themselves, has freighted a vessel to take 490 of the Bavarians to Trieste. The plague has entirely ceased at Poros, and it will have pratique as soon as the weather cools. General Pisa, who was sent out in 1826 by the Committee, is just dead ; he was in command of Attica ; he was buried with all due honours. He was followed to the grave by most of the Councillors of State and all the troops in the garrison. He is universally, regretted. Amongst our other misfortunes, we have had several failures, both at Syra and at Nauplia.  NAPLr.S.  I The Piedniontese Gazette of the 11th instant publishes the following document, dated Naples. Aug. I.: " Considering that, thanks to the reinforcements sent to Sicily, and to other measures adopted for the purpose of suppressing, in the neighbourhood of Palermo and else. where, the disturbances occasioned by the ravages- of the cholera, and the perfidious reports circulated in those districts, the desired object has been attained. " Wishing to strengthen order by means- of Government measures, to remedy the existing evils, and put asp y end to the events, of which the provinces of Messina, Cal d aSyracuse are the theatre. " We have resolved on issuing, and we her eiy issue, :he following. decree : Art. 1. Having full confidence in our Minister Secretary of State of the Police, the Major-General Marquis Delcazetto, are invest him with all the powers of an alter ego' for the provinces of Messina, Catania, and Syracuse, and order him to proceed to that portion of our dominions, and tu 'all other points he may think proper to visit, in order to.zestore tranquillity in the disturbed districts. " Art. 2. He wiil correspond with us directly -on all be objects of his his mission.' "• On the same day (Aug. 1) his Majesty embarked for Sicily, at Casteilamare. The following from Palermo contains some-additional circumstances relating to Sicily, which, may be interesting : —" The Government, in its measures against the malefactors, has been cautious in insuring, their detection arid punishment, without coming to an open contest, which might have ended in the ruin of Palermo. In fact, with only 2,000 soldiers, nearly the whole of them invalids, it was not possible to take rigorous Inecsures with a city of 160,000 inhabitants, of whom 20,000 were rendered desperate from want. The authorities were, therefore, obliged to make a passive resistance until the arrival of sufficient forces from Naples. Scarcely, however, was the reinforcement 015,000 men landed, than strong detachments were sent to the points where the • greatest excesses had been committed, and courts-martial were established. On the 22d of July 10 men were sentenced to death, and immediately executed in the small town of Mtsiltneri. Other culprits are nosy on their trial. Among the 10 persons executed was a boy, who, too young to manage a musket, went with the murderers, and consummated the fate of thole who were wounded but not dead by stabbing them with a knife. The court-martial of Palermo has already begun to try the assassins of the city and its environs.
