GREECE.

The Government is said to have despntched M. Druyz Le Buys at Ambassador to London, on an extraordinary mission, m consequence of the terioui nature of recent newi from Greece. The Times' correspondent, writing from Parif X on Sunday, say*:— "A rumour wai in circulation yesterday and to-day lhat accouuts were receired tb^t Admiral Parker had bombarded Athens. On inquiry at the proper qunrte*, I am assured that if such accounts hate been lecetved, we would be the first to be informed of any such occurrence. On the contrary, it is 6ta*ed that the latest accounts from Greece weie not of a kind to lead one to suppose that tucit extreme meaguies would be resorted to ; and of all others, that Sir W. Parker was incapable of unnecessarily aggravating the situation of affurs. Such an account, lam informed, did not enter into the instructions of the Admiral, who was to confine himself to the capture of Greek vessels.

Paris, Sunday. — A rumour which prevailed some time ago ai to the existence of some secret compact between the President and the Czar, was revived yesterday ; and it wa« said that the discovery of some inch compact vras in reality the cause of tue sudden steps adopted by the Engli-h Ambassador at Aiheni. The Buune article* of the Journals which record this rumour do not of course give it much weight.
