The great Powers have met, not 10 arbitrate be-

arrangement as win relieve Greece from the chas-

The Debdts of the 18th has the following:-
Although the Conference aims at peace all the
letters and journals which reach us lron the Danube

A communication from ConsIantnopie TO the NORTH
Edsern Correspondence, speaks OF The excitement
OF the old Mussumams on one part and, on the
other, OF the increasing spirit OF revolt among the
Christian subjects OF the Porte. The Debate OF
Vienna now states that Omar Pacha is assembling In

OF $4,000 Abanidns and 6,000 Egyptians VIII shortly

The Ssec'e, OF Paris OF the 18th, mentions that
the members OF the Conference have engaged

resolution Is that multitude OF persons, generally
well informed, have the presensi0n TO know all, to

The France, or Paris, mentions that the Greek Min
