Koroneos continued is travels to Asia Minor and the Agean Islands, and pepcimes as voluntedr in the French expedition to yria (1854.) Having returned to Athens he was ap- pointed commanding inspector of artillery (chief of ord- nance) and deputy secretary of war; but he resigned suddenly—we don’t know for what reasons—and becamo the political leader of the opposition party against King Otho and tbe Bavarian dynasty. It is said that at this time he was initiated and received as member of the “Great Council of the Panhelienion, or the Hellenic Brotherhood,” the great secret league, lodges of which exist in every city and vil in Greece, Rumelia, Mace- donia, Livadia, the Zgean Islands, the Danubian Princi- palities, in Zante, Messina, Livono, and even under the eyes of the Turkish government at Constantinople and Smyrna, It is a fact peroage pak known even to the leading Fenians, that the organization of the Greek ‘Pan- hoellenion’’ was ad: «1 for the Irish brotherhood. Some weeks afterwards Koroneos was at the head of a military conspiracy against King Otho, who was to be arrested in bis palace and sent back to Bavaria, to make place for a national republican government. But the plan of this conspiracy was betrayed by accident (May 10, 1861). Colonel Koroneos was arrested, cashiered and sent as prisoner to the Fortress Nauplia, to be tried by court martial. The soldiers and officers of that fortress, nearly all belonging to the Panbellenion lengue, re- coived the prisoner with shouts of enthusiasm, revolted against the government and declared Koroneos commander of the fortress and Lienten- ant Colonel Artemisi, his friend and companion (now commanding the Greek inturgents iu Livadia), Gencral- in-chief of the Greék army. This revolt, known in modern Greek history as ‘the soldiers’ revolt of Nauplia,” lasted for two months (from February to ‘April, ‘Tee2), ‘and ended by the defeat of the insurgents. If the battle of Arp troops were victori made prisoner and brought to, Athens, where be was in jail until Otho was driven from his throne and returned to his Bavarian home. Koroneos was now elected Repre- sentative of the city of Athens, and took his lace in the Chamber at the head of the #0 called Montagnard party, on the side of Kalergis and Grivae. the recognized lend- ers of the mountainous tribes. This Ly was not, as many may suspect by ite name, the ultra radical faction, but rather conservative. Through the influence of this party Koroneos was appointed Secretary of War, but ad to abdicate, forced by the three great pro- tective Powers’ (England, France and Russia), who put prince George of rk on the vacant throne of Otho.

Kalergi alone escaped. He had been wounded inthe arm bya sabre cut and hada leg broken by a rifle ball. As he could net walk to the place of execution, he was carried on the back of the Albanian boy who captured him. As he was on his way he offered the Albanian one hundred thousand piastres (about $5,000 gold) for his ransom. Reschid wished to have Kalergi's head piled up with the others, but his captor insisted on receiving $5,000 for it. Luckily for Kalergi the condition of the Turkish military chest was #0 law that the Pascha could not afford to pay #0 high a price to gratify his passion, and as the Albe- nian persisted in claiming him as his property.
