As we expected, the fall of the Comondonros Ministry at

Athens did not end the struggle about Greek policy. M. Deligeorgis accepted power, but remained in office only for a single day, and a government was at last formed by a coalition between Comondouros and Zaimis. They have a clear majority, and have carried through

pp the Chamber a vote authorising them to raise a loan and equip a force of 200,000 men. This is, of course, quite impossible, but the vote enables the Greek Government, when Thessaly and Epirus rise, to take all insurgents into their nominal service, appoint their commanders, and aid them by using the few Greek regulars as non-commissioned officers. This will greatly increase the tenacity of the insurrectionary force.
