It has been resolved, at Munich we presume, to make
Athens the seat of the Greek Government. Squares, street's, and public buildings have been planned. A French company have under- taken the speculation of building one grand square, and the King has solemnly laid the first stone of an edifice intended as a restoration of the Parthenon. We saw a similar ceremony per- formed when GEORGE the Fourth was King and at Edin- burgh, about twelve years ago : the Calton Hill, we believe, is there still, and the GREY Pavilion has been there—but where is the Parthenon of Edinburgh ? The new Parthenon of Athens will probably be no further advanced than it is in the year 1846.
