Trig E.AETUZ gosirttus.—The modern Greeks are
adepts in the art of misrepresentation, but their
attempt to deceive Europe as to the cause of the raptors
between Turkey and Greece is • complete failure.
There ban been an ineurrection in the island of Crete, •
which has at length been put down by the Turks. The .
Cretan rising must have been speedily settled but that ,
the insurgents were openly aided and abetted by Greece.
With aziasine patience the Turkish Government
endured the wrong, and only now Wits action when
the conduct of Greece beg become so flagrant se to
divert every right-minded men. The Cretans who
fied to Greece during the warfare desired to return to
their L0u.... The Turkish Government wail not only
willing that they should do so, but lent ship. to 'envoy
the fugitive. to Crete. The Greeks, in defiance of the
law of nations,telused to allow the Cretans to tanbark,
and the Turkish. easels had to sail away without
accomplishing their errand of mercy. Such an insult was
unendurable, and T.urkray very properly demanded an
apology and reparation. This ems refused and hostilities
have begun in the waters of the Archipel:/o. Captain
Hobart, now Hobart Psalm, the Admiral the Turkish
squadron, fell in with the blookaderunner Enosis, fired
a shot in order to bring the vessel to, the shot
was returned in earnest and hulled the Turkish

roadstead of Spa, where she had taken W." with
mast and funnel damaged. The Paella demanded the
surrender of the Greek, which the Serious roma&
Hobart Pasha is now blockading Sera lutkey bee
been placed in • painful, untenable, and unfelt Position,
The Great Powers are the actual protectors not ouly ,
Greece and of the semi-independent countries of Hernia
and Roumania against Trirkey, but also virtually of the
Turklah Empire in Europe against the rest of the world.
Turkey has had the worst of the burirm. She has been
constantly asuiled, and has been forbidden to retaliate;
Greece, the Danubian Principalities, and barrio have
been protected from Turkey, but Turkey has not been
protected from them and their intrigues. Now no
one questions the abstrui right of the Cretans to revolt
and of Greece to help them. If Rumania thigks
proper to menet bet independence, she is at liberty to
do so. Meantime, however, Crete, Greece, and keg.
=Mia must abide by the consequences of their ..ote,
lieneeforth it must be • fair fight, and Turkey most be
eyes to defend the integrity of her Empire. If England
and France will declare and firmly adhere to this policy,
which is both Jura and expedient, the Eastern question'
will mottle Itself. Greece will, perhaps, turn has attention

Emissaos, the resources of Turkey will be saved from •
