LONDON, Feb. 81. 1t appears from ac-
counts which have just been received by the
German papers, from Contantinople. that
the Porte has adopted pdicy very differ
ent from that which the Allied Powers
were taught to expect. According to these
accounts, the moderation which it display
ed after the battle of Navaino was only af-
fected. 1t wished to gain time and assum-
ed nacifc attitude ana language, the
better to conceal its hostile i9tentions. If

and other officers of the Empire, callino upon

the Greeks. A change in the Turkish
Ministry has infused this warlike spirit into
the Divan, and the situation of the Chris

This is the substance of the Constantine

had been suddenly changed for the most ar.
dent and active hostility, and the means
in silence during the last four
months, were sufficient magnitude to JUS
tlIy IN some degree, the confidence which
the Porte entertained in her own strength.
Upwards Of 100000 Asiatic troops had ar
rived IN the vicinity of the Capital, and only
waited the signal for crossing over to the
European side of the Bosphorus. Under
those circumstances little hope remained of
the Sultan being brought back to a sense
of his real interests. The consciousness of
lnferiority had alone checked his fury after
the battle OF Navarin now that conscious
ness had departed, all the causes of irrita-
tlon which had hitherto festered at his
heart, broke open the more freely. as in
stead of having to encounter and repel a.
crusade, he found himself in condition to
Inlilct one upon the Christian world.
