Demetrius Bulgaris.

Demetrius Bulgaria, Chief of the Greek Revolutionary Society, is dead. He was bom in 1801 in the island of Hydra, of which his father was Governor. In 1833 he was appointed a Minister, during the regency of Otho, and subsequently sat in the National Assembly. When the Crimean war broke out he was made President of the Council. From this position of trust he was compelled to resign in 1859 on account of the stubborn resistance of the King to the liberal measures demanded by the people, but in 1862, when the revolution broke out, he was recalled to power and became President of the Provisional Government. The triumvirate of Bulgaria Canaris, and Rouphos ordered an election of a King by universal suffrage, and Prince Alfred, of England, was chosen by an immense majority. Neither England, France, nor Russia, however, would permit any of their Princes to accept the throne, and Prince George, of Denmark, was finally elected. Bulgaria was appointed President of the Council and Minister of the Interior, but in 1865 again resigned when the King refused to dissolve or prorogue the Chambers. During the present Russo-Turkish war he has been prominent, as the leader of the revolutionary party, which aims to acquire for Greece tne provinces of Macedonia, Thessaly, Epirus, and Crete. — Chicago Tribune.
