arisen between the royalist and ultra royalist parties. The latter are attached to M. Villele, to the Jesuits, the inquisition of the press, and are warmly opposed to the charter; whilst the royalists, of whom M. Polignac is the leader, are favourable to the charter, to free institutions, to the liberty of the press, as far as can be possibly allowed in France, and to limitations on the absolute power of the sovereign, which the ultra party would willingly bestow on Charles X. GREECE.-Prince Leopold has formally notified his acceptance of the sovereignty of Greece, merely stipulating that the Allied Powers shall undertake to guarantee the new state from aggression by any foreign power, and in case of such an event, shall grant succours to that country; that there shall be perfect liberty of conscience allowed in those islands that are to be restored to the Porte, to the Greek inhabitants residing in them; that the western frontier may be continued along a line which he points out, considering it indispensably neces sary to the security of that part of the state, and that the three Allied Powers shall furnish him with pecuniary assistance till his government shall be enabled to devise means for supporting itself. These points have been satisfactorily arranged, and during the next seven years the Prince is to receive from the three powers an annual sum, which may enable him to pay the interest of any loan he may be necessitated to contract, as well as to fulfil the conditions of those previously contracted. This sum is estimated at a total amount of one million and a half sterling, a seventh part of which the Prince is to receive annually.
