STEELE, Secretary. FOREIGN NOTES. THE RUPTURE BETWEEN TURKEY AND GREECE. Diplomatic assurances are still chiefly on the side of peace, but the news from the Levant continues gloomy. The Sultan is constantly closeted with his Ministers, who are said to be unanimous in recommending the most rigorous measures against the Greeks. The blockade of the eastern coast of Greece is to commence at once. Accounts from Athens, on the other hand, state that very little is being done for the defence of the Greek territory. It would seem as though the Government had come to the conclusion that it could not bring about a war, and that all preparations would be so much waste money. Orders have been Issued to the navy, and a plan of action has been laid down, but there is no intelligence of any organisation of land forces. One letter says that the enthusiasm in favour of war is by no means general. The inhabitants of the capital are unanimous enough, but the other commercial towns are much averse to war. Deputations from Corfu, Corinth, Patras, and Nauplia have arrived at Athens to protest against a policy which will be the ruin of the trade of Greece. From Bulgaria intelligence comes that agitation has again commenced in that irrepressible province. The Presse says that proclamations drawn up in Russian predict a " holy war " for next spring. Emissaries have been recognised, and the same agents who stirred up the disaffection which gave the Porte some trouble last summer are again at work. "If the conflict which has broken out between Greece and her neighbour should assume serious proportions, the insurrection may be expected to extend, and the hand of Russia will be seen to move all those masses which she has been acting on for a long time past." The New Free Press says that two corps, each 30,000 strong, commanded by Omar Pasha, are marching, by Epirus and Thessaly, to the Turkish frontier. Great con sternation prevails amongst the Greeks at Constantinople. All have received orders to quit the city, and some of them have embarked. The Vienna journal adds that in diplo matic regions the dispute has been found far more difficult than was anticipated. The attitude of Russia is no longer in accord with that of the other great States. She has been endeavouring to divide the Western Powers, to get England on her side in the exercise of a pressure which would compel Turkey to modify its demands. The English Cabinet has baffled this scheme, and, in consequence, the Ottoman Government has shewn itself much more inflexible than at any previous time, and has resolved to accept nothing short of full compliance with its ultimatum. At Vienna the fear of a war is stronger than at any other of the European capitals, and as the Austrians are very reasonably supposed to be implicated on the side of Turkey, this is not a reassuring symptom. The French official journals discuss the Eastern question in a couple of lines—which also is rather a bad sign. They have preached ueace as long as possible. The Independance Beige bears testimony to the difficulty of ensuring any concerted action amongst the Powers. Four of them at least have decisively condemned the policy of Greece ; but it appears to be quite a different matter to induce them to agree as to the best mode of practically dealing with the question. The Belgian journal is not, however, without hope. The new French Foreign Minister, the peaceful Marquis de Lavalette—whose appointment is decidedly favourable to the quiet of Europe--has found a solution to the difficulty. He has already submitted to the leading Cabinets the terms of an arrangement round which all may rally. The correspondence between the Turkish Ambassador at Athens and the Greek Foreign Minister has been pub lished. The reply of the latter diplomatist is a wretched display of special pleading, which is not improved by a liberal seasoning of insolence. He endeavours to justify the enrolment of volunteer bands for Crete on the grounds, first, that there is nothing special in the present action of the Greeks in that_xespect. the enrolment having gone on The Times says there is as yet nothing to indicate a peaceful settlement of the dispute ; still, the temper of, the Great Powers is such that any other event is very im probable. The corresponden ce b e t ween th e Turkish., Ambassador at Athens and the Greek Foreign Minister is quite decisive as to the right of the quarrel. It confirms the views the Times has taken of the unscrupulous con duct of the Greek Government—a conduct which it is now sought to justify by doctrines subversive of all national security. No antiquarian sentiment and no pity for weak ness should lead us to tolerate proceedings so mis chievous. Later news from the scene of trouble shows that diplomacy is more and more at fault. The Greeks are making great preparations for war, relying much upon insurrections in several parts of the Ottoman Empire. The blockade of Syra is continued by seven vessels. The Athens Courier makes a very strange announce ment. It is that the Revolutionary " Government" of Crete has appointed a Chargd d'Affaires at Washington, and that he has been received, though not officially, by Mr. Seward. This representative of a mythical Cabinet has written to General Prim asking for the recognition of the Provisional Government. SPAIN. The Duke of Montpensier has not improved his prospects by his inconsiderate action in reference to the Cadiz revolt. He has lost ground in public opinion, and of the thirty-four journals in Madrid, only four, including the Correspondencia, now advocate his candidature. The cause of the Republicans, whatever may be its chances at present, is not likely to languish through the want of encouragement from without. Kossuth has followed the example of Garibaldi, Mazzini, Victor Hugo, and many others, and has written a letter to the Republican Committee, urging them not to neglect the present opportunity. The electoral campaign gives promise of drawing forth all the dormant energy of the Spanish race. Canvassing and speech-making have already begun in earnest. In the province of Toledo there are 120 candidates for four stpats ! MOTIVISZ. Sir John Duke Coleridge has been giving spiteful writers a severe lashing. The eloquent Solicitor- General can put his anger into words, such words as must be anything but pleasant to the ears of those for whom they are meant. At Exeter the other day Sir John said there were writers in that city and elsewhere who find malice pleasant and slander pro fitable, whose hatred is so low, so mean, so base, and yet so inveterate, that one looks at them not so much with utter scorn as with a sort of wonder at the curious but somewhat unpleasant exhibition of human nature which their conduct presents. They first reviled him for refusing office and then for accepting it, and discovered the basest and most selfish motives for both courses. He observed that they had to make their living by these things, and he hoped they did make their living. We had hoped this system of attributing base motives was now going out of fashion, and that each party were about to fight with the recognised weapons of civilised warfare. It is quite admissible to charge a statesman with ruining his country, launching her into a war, getting her into hopeless debt, or destroy ing her constitution, but it should always be under stood that he does it with the best intentions. THE BUDGET. A new Chancellor of the Exchequer; the estimates unprepared, and each department of the services, to say the least, in an unsettled state; Ministers hardly settled down—and yet our contemporaries have begun to speculate on Mr. Lowe's Budget. One paper has published a statement of the extravagance of the late Government, &c., ending in the story of a bad first Budget with " better luck next time.' But on the authority of some one "in official quarters " several other papers contradict these stories. Mr. Lowe is going, according to this account, to have a surplus in hand. Some £3,000,000 will be struck out of the estimates. Two millions are to be struck out in a lump by the reduction of every regiment by one company ; and, altogether we are going on just as Mr. Lowe anticipated at the Fishmongers' dinner. If he should succeed in removing all taxation, &c., what a happy time of it England will soon have ! THE COMPTROLLERSHIP OF THE HOUSEHOLD. The Post announces, in contradiction of several mis-statements, that Lord Otho Fitzgerald, M.P. for Kildare, has been appointed Comptroller of the Household. GENERAL PEEL. General Peel seemed to be just entering on pubtic honours, to be ,just about to make himself famous, when an unexpected turn of affairs terminated abruptly his political life. The gallant general is to be consoled, however, by a testimonial from those who were only lately his constituents. The subscrip tion, however,. has by no means reached a high. figure, £OOO being the amount received. The testi monial is to be presented shortly at a public dinner at Huntingdon. PHARISEES AND SADDUCEES. The Morning Advertiser was always fond of ser monising, and especially fond of that part of it which is called practical application. It has lately been reading up the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and has discovered that the first are represented in tho English Church by the Ritualists, the second by the Rationalists. But what puzzles our contemporary is that there should be a close alliance between the two. It was not so in old time. Paul once endeavoured to get out of a difficult position by enlisting one part of his hostile audience ,against the other by appealing to the men of one sect against the men of the other. But the Advertiser finds Archbishop Tait the Sadducee, and Mr. Gladstone the Pharisee, coalescing. Do they not both write in Good Words? Does not Mr. Kingsley write there too ? and is not Mr. Kingsley a Sad ducee ? and did not Archbishop Tait promote Mr. Rowsell and Mr. Rogers, and are they not all Sadducees ? and did not the Archbishop preach in St. Luke's Church, Berwick-street, of which Mr. Harry Jones, the Pharisee-Sadducee, is the incumbent ? And so on, ad iyinitum. It is thus that this highly religious paper endeavours to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace ; . it is by dividing men out into hostile factions which they epudiate, and by stigmatising them with hate ful names, that the publicans' organ endeavours t o heal our unhappy divisions. Mengiving up their lives to teaching and comforting the army of London paupers are denounced as Sadducees—i.e., as men who believe in no resurrection—by the organ of that trade which has done, infinitely more than any other agency, the devil's work of making paupers and heathens. A NEW " PREFET DE LONDRES " WANTED. Sir Richard Mayne has not yet resigned his office as Chief Commissioner of the London Police, but it is expected that he will do so very shortly, and it is not to be concealed that the majority of Londoners are very anxioug that he should do it without delay. The reason why this change is so much wanted is, that an entire change in the police system of the metropolis may be effected when Sir Richard retires. Londoners complain—and have long com plained in vain—that the present arrangements are costly and very unsatisfactory, because very ineffec tive. Sir Richard Mayne is an old soldier, and, so far as military drill is concerned, he has certainly im proved his men; but it is an improvement at the expense of their protectiveand detective training. The London " Prefet " commands a tolerably efficient little army, but the little army is not wanted in London, and policemen who will lessen burglaries and crimes of outrage are very much wanted indeed. The loss sustained by London on account of the semi-military character of its police is thus illustrated by the Daily Telegraph :—" Take one striking fact. For thirteen hours every day the metropolitan area of 700 square ,miles, inhabited by 3,400,000 people, is left in the charge of only 1,000 police, though the force amounts to some 0,000. And why ? Because during these thirteen hours a large amount of dril ling is always going on." Sir Richard M ayne ma y think that men can drill all day, walk a matter of four or six miles to drill, and then serve at night as active and efficient guardians of the persons and property of citizens. He will, however, get but few to agree in his opinion, while there is a very general concurrence in the view that, as regards the London police, what is wanted is " a new lord and new laws." LORD GORT ON THE IRISH CHURCH. Viscount Gort, an Irish representative peer, has written to the Daily Telegraph on the Irish Church, and alludes to his first mention of the application of the tithes accruing from disendowment to the diminution of the poor rates. A letter of the noble lord's appeared in that journal last February on the object; and he refers to a remark of the ASatur flay Review's which deprecates the notion, and he contends that in Ireland the poor law has been forced upon the country, and anything that aids its working is to be encouraged. Lord Gort also dissents from the view taken in the article he previously referred to, which considers that the owners of property would benefit by the change pro posed, because he disclaims the idea that tithes and poor rates are always paid by the same owners of property. It is important, he adds, to bear in mind that in Ireland the landlord pays the tithe, while the tenant pays the rate. A reduction of local taxation would benefit and please both Protestants and Roman Catholics equally. The noble lord considers that the final settlement of so great a question must be effected in such a manner as to conciliate all parties, and that the traditions of the Catholic Church will cf_vour the grant of the tithes for the relief of the poor, while the Protestant owners will admit that this allocation of the revenues of their Church is not Tithout advantage in many respects.
