THE RUPIURE BETWEEN TURKEY
. AND GREECE.

The Moniteur at length refers to the rupture
which has taken place between Turkey and Greece,
and confirms the intelligence that the represen-
tatives of both countries had received their pass-
ports, and were preparing for departure. The fol-
lowing is the paragraph it publishes in its sum-
mary yesterday :—‘' Notwithstanding the mode-
rate and conciliatory counsels urged by the great
Powers at Athens and Constantinople, the sus-
pension of diplomatic relations between Turkey and
Greece could not be avoided. The latest telegrams
announce that the representatives of both countries
had received their passports, and were preparing
for departure. Ilowever much this rupture is to
be regretted, there is room for hope that the com-
mon action and conformity of views of the Powers
who signed the Treaty of 1856 will succeed in
diminishing and limiting the consequences of this
rupture. _ _ .

The semi-official French papers throw the blame
of what has occurred on Greece. The Patrie says :
—lt was hoped up to the last moment that the
counsels of moderation and prudence given by the
Great Powers would have prevailed at Athens.
Unfortunately, such has not been the case. The
telegrams received to-day from Constantinople in-
form us that the rupture of diplomatic rela-
tions between Turkey and Greece is a fait accompli.
Hostilities have already broken out in the waters of
Candia. At the present moment all we can do is
to regret the event, the responsibility of which rests
equally on the Greek people and their governors.
It appears, however, to us useful to warn our readers
against the pessimist tendencies which the news of
the day will undoubtedly give rise to. The accord
of the Great Powers continues the same ; their
efforts will tend to localise the conflict, and diplo-
macy is ready to profit by any circumstance to
bring about a reconciliation. There is, therefore,
no reason to fear that the general peace of Europe
will be troubled by events which ought to be con-
fined to the East.
The France writes in much the same tone. It
says :—The rupture between Greece and Turkey is a
fait accompli, in spite of all the efforts of the Powers
to prevent it. The breaking off of diplomatic re-
lations, however, does not involve a declaration of
war or immediate hostilities. Before the two
countries arrive at that extremity the European
Powers who have interposed between them have
still time to act, and if, as we have reason to
hope, all of them persist with equal fairness in
the attitude they have taken, it is permitted
to believe that their conciliatory efforts will
succeed in preventing more serious compli-
cations. The important point is to limit the
present quarrel, so as to render the various attempts
at mediation effectual. The Government of Athens,
in yielding to the excitement of public feeling,
has incurred a very heavy responsibility, and it
is bound to calculate the very dangerous conse-
quences of the situation in which it has placed
itself. Turkey threatened in her security, is evi-
dently availing herself of the right of legitimate
defence. Nevertheless she must be urged to be-
have with the greatest moderation and prudence,
so as not to aggravate so deplorable a conflict. She
has taken a very grave measure in decreeing the
expulsion of the Greeks residing in the Ottoman
Empire, but we must not exaggerate its signifi-
cance. The Greeks whom commercial interests
have induced to fix their residence on Turkish soil
are under the regime of the capitulatimes, and are
therefore not included in the measures ordered by
the Porte. As to the others, it is supposed that they
will avail themselves of the option left them, and
become Turkish subjects.

The Debats complains that the telegrams relating
to the rupture were kept back from the French
press, and that for two days France, which has
such a deep interest in the East, knew less than
any other nation in Europe what was passing
there. It asks whether the telegraph corre-
spondents were remiss, or whether the French
Government stepped in and prevented the trans-
mission of news ; and it thinks these questions
ought to be answered, so that the French press
should take measures for being better informed in
futue.
