The French Ambassador at Athens has transmitted to Paris an

account of Coletti's deathbed, so strange that the judgment ho- vers in suspense between the conclusions either that an Ambassa- dor has been guilty of direct fabrication, or that the vanity of success in disorganizing Greece has turned the man's head. M. Piscatory makes the dying Minister of Greece send a message to M. Guizot, declaring that he had always followed that statesman's wishes. M. Guizot, then, directed Coletti's piratical administra- tion; to M. Guizot is the actual state of Greece ascribable! We cannot believe it ; though the deathbed declaration, attested by no less a person than an Ambassador, is undoubtedly strong prim& facie evidence against the accused.
