Pnbllos Disapprovai In Greece of the Peaceful
Proepects-Eneigctic Intervention of Foreign
Powers.
ATHENS Feb A, 1869.
The situation Of the country has gradually been
growing more ana more serious. 1t appeared GER
tain that In consequences OF the invitation addressed
to the Greek government by the Conference and In
the autograph letter OF the Emperor Napoleon that
an alteration would be made in the line Of policy
hitherto pursued BY Greece. Bat the arrival Of N.
de Waewski with the protocol Of the Conference and
the letter Of the Emperor Of the French produced
great perturbation in the minds OF every one and
dissentent opinions were multiplied ad 57vrnttun.
Under the pretext that they already committed
to war policy, the ministry would not consent to
give in their adhesion to the protocol they looked
upon 1t as condemnation or their pdpcy. The
populace clamored for war and DEMONSTRATIONS
which were put down by the police Other persons
again, who equally had the honor OF the \country
at heart but who neverrnelesslcalmy canvaseed the
decision OF the Great Powers and the insignitcance
OF the means at the command OF Greece to carly
war, were desirous that Greece should follow the
advice given by Europe. Meanwhile the King( re-
ceived the autograph letter OF the Emperor Napoleon
and other councils OF similar nature In addition 70
which the Emperor Of Russia sent a telegraphic
message in which he requested his majesty yield
IUe huSSlan dmDaSS3uOr NJ COn8L1ntluOpe AZ the

Greece by the Great Powers passed without any an
swer being despatched q Turkish deet would leave
Constantinople with several thousand troops to
cupy the Pir:eus.
Matters had arrived at this stage when the King
with the object OF lessening his responsibility sum-
Inoned to his side several political notables to hear
their opinions and lay before them the real situation
Of AFFAIRS But with the exception OF one or two Of
those persons summoned all considered that the
protocol must be accepted Meanwhile the ministry,
who held dlnerent opinion on tins point resigned,
whereupon the King summoned NM. Zairius and
Deiiyorgl botn OF whom were Deputies and heads OF
political parties, TO form new Cabinet. The first
named gentleman undertook to form ministry,
who shonld give In their adhesion to the protocol,
the second having declined the task. Having con-
suited with his friends M zairus yesterday presented
