GREECE.—Within a very few hours after the arrival of the first intel- ligence that there had been a revolution in Greece, arrived fuller accounts of its completion, at last in its earliest stage. For some time there had been much discontent in that country. On the 9th instant, the Greek Observer stated that a protocol from the London Conference had been received ; and that the three Protecting Powers bad in the most positive manner notified their dissatisfaction at the system of government then pursued, and required the dismissal of the Bavarian employes, and the exclusive appropriation of the customs and stamp-duties to the payment of the interest on the loan. Either the King was understood to show some reluctance to comply with the terms thus dictated, or the Popular party were not satisfied with the extent of the concessions recommended: probably both feelings had their influence on the sequel. The revolution was begun on the night of the 14th, and effected before noon next day.

The revolution was begun on the night of the 14th, and effected before noon next day. We take the narrative of the Observer, with some alterations for the sake of compression- " The hostile attitude assumed by the Government against those who sought to enlighten it, the extraordinary dispositions adopted within the last few days with a view to assail the liberty and the very lives of the citizens (a military tribunal had been established) most devoted to the national interests, should necessarily tend to hasten the manifestation of the contemplated movement. Last night, at two o'clock a. m., a few musket-shots fired in the air announced the assembling of the people in the different quarters of Athens. Soon after- wards, the inhabitants, accompanied by the entire garrison, marched towards the square of the Palace, crying, 'The Constitution for ever!' On reaching the place, the entire garrison, the artillery, cavalry, and infantry, drew up under the windows of the King, in front of the Palace; and the people having stationed themselves in the rear, all in one voice demanded a conatitution. The King appeared at a low window, and assured the people that he would take into consideration their demand and that of the army, after consulting with his Ministers, the Council of State, and the representatives of the oreign Powers. But the Commander, M. Calergi, having stepped forward; made known to his Majesty that the Ministry was no longer recognized; and that the Council of State was already deliberating on the best course to be adopted under existing circumstances. Shortly afterwards, a deputation from the Connell of State presented an address to the King, comprising, among other things, the following requisitions, which it described as measures emanating from the wants and wishes distinctly expressed by the Greek nation— "'Your Majesty will consider it expedient to appoint a new Ministry with- out delay. The Council of State recommend to the approbation of your Ma- jesty, as persons competent to form it, because of their enjoying public esteem and confidence, Messrs. Andre Metaxa, fur the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, with the Department of Foreign Affairs ; Andre Londos, for the Ministry of War; Canaria, for the Navy Department ; Rhigas Palamidis, for the Interior ; Mansolas, for the Finance ; Leon Melas. for Justice; and Michel Slimes, for Public Instruction and Ecciesiastical Affairs.

" Your Majesty will be pleased at the same time to sign an ordinance, which will impose on the new Ministry, as its first duty, the convocation within the delay of a month of the National Assembly ; which will deliberate upon the definite constitution that is to be established in concert with the Royal autho- rity, as the seg,is under which the throne and the nation shall hereafter be

placed. The extraordinary circumstances of the country rendering the convo- cation of the National Assembly an urgent necessity, and not admitting of a new law of election being previously framed, your Majesty will permit your Ministry to convoke that Assembly, agreeably to the spirit and provisions of the last law of election in vigour before 1833, with the sole difference that the electoral colleges shall elect their presidents by a majority of votes. " The new Ministry, invested with the full powers necessary to conduct the government in accord with the gravity of the circumstances which led to its formation, shall render an account of its acts to the National Assembly.'

"Whilst his Majesty was reading the propositions of the Council of State, the representatives of the Foreign Powers presented themselves at the Palace, and were told by the Commander that nobody could be admitted at that mo-

ment, the King being in conference with the deputation of the Council of State. The latter came out two hours afterwards, with the consent of the King. The new Ministry then repaired to the Palace, where they held a long

consultation with his Majesty ; who shortly appeared on the balcony, surrounded by his Ministers and other personages, and was received with acclamation by the people. The cry of " Long live the Constitutional King " resounded, together with that of "The Constitution for ever !" The new Ministers entered immediately on the discharge of their functions. The military revolution was directed, on the part of the regular army, by the Colonel of Cavalry, Demetri Calergi, and on that of the irregular army by Co- lonel Macryany. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the garrison, after defiling before the Palace, reentered their quarters, preceded by their bands, amidst the the acclamations of the people. An hour afterwards, the city, in which order had not been an instant disturbed, resumed its customary mpect."

Next day, the King issued a decree convoking a National Assembly within thirty days. The Council of State issued a decree, thanking the people and the army, exhorting them to continued order, and dictating to the army an oath of "fidelity to the country and to the constitutional throne," and of attachment to the constitution to be settled by the As- sembly. The Council also decreed that the 15th September should in future be a national festival.

Similar movements took place at Chalcis and Nauplia.

Letters from Athens, of the 17th instant, say that all foreigners who held offices under Government were to be dismissed, with an exception in favour of veteran Philhellenes. It is said that the King yielded with bad grace, when he found that all resistance on his part would be un- availing. It was eleven o'clock a. in. before his obstinacy was subdued. The military bands were then playing- the " Marseillaise " and the 4' Parisienne ; which gave hint cause to suppose that affairs might pro- ceed to unpleasant extremities. On the 16th, King Otho took his customary airing ; and was saluted, as he passed along the streets, with cries from the people and soldiers of " Long live the Constitutional King !"

TURKEL—Letters from Constantinople mention some military acti- vity ; the militia having been incorporated with the army for five years. Redshid Pasha, President of the Military Council, had been appointed Seraskier, or General-in-Chief of the troops of Roumelia, with the title of Muschir, and was to reside at Adrianople. He was succeeded in office by Sarni Behir. The Sultan promised France satisfaction for the insult to the French flag at Jerusalem ; and he had sent his portrait to Louis Philippe. The publication of the berat of the Sultan, confirming the election of Prince Alexander as Sovereign of Servia, took place in due form at Belgrade on the 14th instant, in the presence of the Turkish Governor, the Baron de Lieven, the Consuls of France and England, and other personages of note.

There was no news of the overland Indian mail at Alexandria on the 6th instant.

hat:v.—There is little of additional news from Italy ; but its internal commotion has by no means subsided. The Toulonnais of the 24th instant has the most distinct allusions to the latest occurrences- " The letters were unsealed by the police, and nobody dared to make the slightest allusion to the events of which the Peninsula was the theatre. It appears, however, that those events had acquired a certain degree of gravity ; for a formidable military force was on foot, not only in the Pontifical dominions, where the insurrection first broke out, but also in the smaller principalities, and even at Naples, where the Government laboured under serious alarm. The festivity of Santa Maria di Pic di Grotto was celebrated in that capital on the 8th; and no less that 20,000 men, with 150 pieces of artillery, were turned out on the occasion. The vessels of war, moreover, took a position opposite the city, to be ready to cannonade it at the first signal. Considerable agitation also prevailed in Sicily; and private letters from the frontiers, and travellers just arrived from Italy, mentioned that the armed bands in that country were more numerous than ever, and were amply provided by the people with the necessaries of life."

SPAIN.—The news from Spain is of an indecisive character. Minis- ters had superseded the lukewarm Araoz, and appointed in his stead, as Captain-General of Catalonia, General Loriano Sanz. On the 12th instant, Ametler susprised a body of Government troops with fifty officers, at St. Andres. In his turn he was attacked by Prim ; and after two days' contest, driven from it, on the 22d instant. He retired on Tyana. The firing of Montjuich and the Citadel on the Sea-gate and Atarrazanas continued ; but it was very ineffective. Ceeilio Fernandez, a subaltern officer of the Barcelona volunteers, had challenged Prim to single combat, to save effusion of blood!

Some of the Catalonian towns are represented as drawing back from the counter-revolution; among them, liens, Vich, and Puycerda. Saragossa declared for a Central Junta on the 17th. A few of the troops joined in the movement, and General Lopez Banos evacuated the esty. The Junta reappointed civic authorities that had been displaced. The movement was effected without any violence.

A report that Seville had "pronounced" wants confirmation. Ibis the same with Valencia. Palencia and Grenada had certainly declared for a Central Junta.

Madrid was quiet on the 21st. Various reports obtain as to the result of the elections ; but as yet no general conclusion could be drawn, ex- cept that their tendency seems Anti-Ministerial. The news of the Sara- gossa rising had created a sensation. General Concha had been sent off to the place in a hurry ; others bad gone to join the insurgents.

M. Gamier Pages had arrived at Madrid ; also S. Alcala Galliano, Queen Christina's Chaplain. One Senor de la Vega had publicly received a prize granted by S. Sa- lamanca for the best poem on the defence of Seville. Mr. Jerningham, the British Charg6 d'Affaires, was the only one of the Diplomatic body that kept aloof from the ceremony.

PORTUCAL—Letters from Lisbon, of the 18th, say that the manifesto lately published as proceeding from Don Miguel really emanated from an adventurer in London named Saraiva ; and no importance is attached to it in Portugal- ,. We have something of the same kind from the same quarter every ex months ; but all parties here laugh at these lucubrations. The adherents of Miguel in Portugal are, as a political party, utterly powerless. A. relative of this Saraiva, who arrived here by the last packet from England, was detained in custody at the Customhouse ; and some important papers were found in his possession, clearly demonstrating a movement in the Aliguelite party, the centre of which movement was in London. The British Government warned the Government of Portugal, that some foolish designs of this description were in the course of an attempted realization. But the arrest of the emisstuy in question has caused the bubble to burst at once, and shown how very vapid were the materials from which it was concocted. The whole thing is a mere subject of ridicule."

The movements of some Spanish refugees are mentioned-

" General Zurbano, who arrived on the 7th instant at Oporto, was made a prisoner, and lodged in the castle of Fez. He was seized in the French hotel at Oporto, and had come in the packet from Vigo. An order, however, was im- mediately forwarded from the Government here for his release, and Zurbatto is now in Lisbon. Be is greatly broken down by the distresses which he has endured since the memorable 'bargain battle ' under the walls of Madrid, and his spirits appear to he completely shattered. Another, and to the Madrid Government an equally obnoxious personage, Linage, the secretary and bosom friend of Espartero, remains in Portugal, having divided his time between Lisbon and Baja.

FRN.NCE.—S. Olozaga has arrived in Paris. At present he is only ac- credited as Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordivary to the Court of the Tuileries ; but should the French Government come to tile resolution of sending an Ambassador to Spain, S. Oiozaga will hold. a similar post in the French capital ; being provided with letters of cre- dence to Louis Philippe as Ambassador from Queen Isabella.

A paragraph in the National makes it appear that the aged Marshal Soult is breaking up- " A private letter from Toulouse states that Marshal Soult is suffering greatly from ill health, and that it is the reason he was prevented from going to En. The Marshal, it is said, is impressed with the idea that he will not outlive the year ; and he is almost always occupied in putting his affairs in order, and in superintending the execution of the mausoleum which is to be placed over his tomb. The same letter adds, that Marshal Soult is almost detertnined to retire for ever from public affairs."
