Intelligence from Athens, of the 17th instant, adds nothing of
news to the account of the recent revolution, but gives some interesting traits of its most extraordinary moderation. Tzinos, a Minister, who had ordered the infliction of torture on several occasions, was bidden for a time in the King's palace : he was forced out ; but his only punishment was to be banished, and to be guarded by the troops of the new regime from the fury of the mob. Vlahopulo, the old Minister of War, indis- creetly presented himself, and ordered the troops to withdraw : Calergi merely said, "Take the Bavarian away, and shut him up!" and he was put under a guard in his own house.
