—It is asserted in Paris that the king of Greece has resolved to abdicate. This startling piece of news has been spread by a Vienna journal, and is not yet confirmed. But assuming it to be true, people ask what the Powers will do with Greece. They are also curious to know what will become of the projected marriage between the young king and the daughter of the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia. It was to make her queen of the Greeks that the Imperial family of Russia consented to the union; they may not be willing to bestow her on the cadet of a third-rate reigning family.

—Seventeen divorce cases were acted upon in Chicago, one day last week.

Great Alarm in Rome.—London, Oct. 7. Despatches from Rome state that great agitation and alarm prevailed in that city.

What Napoleon Says.—Paris, Oct. 6. It is reported that Napoleon has informed the Italian government that it may occupy Roman Territory with its troops, but they must not enter the city of Rome.

Europe.—Florence, Oct. 7. Reports hourly received here from the south show that the revolutionary volunteers are invading Roman territory on all sides. Yesterday a detachment of troops was sent out from Rome to meet the invaders in Frosinone, a province lying southeast of the city. A fight took place between them and the Garibaldians near the Abruzzo frontier. The Papal troops were again defeated and compelled to fall back toward Rome. Deputations are arriving here and memorials are pouring in from all cities of the kingdom demanding that Rome be made the capital of Italy. The press throughout the country are urging subscriptions and money for the Garibaldian volunteers who have been wounded in fights which have occurred in Viterbo.
