LONDON, Feb. 6, 1873.
Intelligence has just been received
from Constantinople that the Office of
Grand Vizler has been abolished and
new Ministry has been formed, constitu-
ted as follow:
Ahmed vefik Efendi, President of the
Council Of Ministers and Minister of the
Interior.
Server Pacha, Minister of Foreign
Affairs.
Reouf Pacha, Minister of War.
Said Pacha, Minister of Marine.
Krani Pacha, Minister of finance.
Namyk Pacha, Grand Master Of the
ARTILLERY.
safvet pacha, President of the Council
of State.
Ohannes Tchamitchian Effendi, Min
lister Of Public Works and Commerce.
FROM BEHIND THE THRoNB.
No explanation accompanied the FORE
going, but the constitution of new Min
istry under European forms and designa-
I, tions seems to indicate further step In
the reforms promised by the Sultan.
Moreover, the substitution of NamYk
Pacha for Mahm0ud Damad as Grand
NJ aster of the Artillery suggests the pro-
liability of the latter's displacement from
the position of power behind the throne
he heretofore occupied.
SKETCHES OF THE MEN.
Ahmed vefk Effendi was the hrst
president of ssthe turkish Parliament. He
Is known for his education and the
iberalty Of his views. He was sent to
Adrianople at the time OF the first Gross
ing Of the Balkans at the instance OF Mr..
Layard, the British Ambassador at Con-
i stsntinople, to stop and counteract the
effects Of Suielman Pacha's severity
against the BulRarians. Said and Namyk
Pachas are likewise cultivated and hbor-
al men. The former - the Sultan's prin
cipal aide-de-camp.
THE TURKEY THAT Is TO BE.
None of the others can be identified
with the old Turkish party, so that the
: Ministry as q whole is probably put for
; ward not only in pursuance Of the Sui
tan's promises OF reform on the termina-
ton of the war, but in hope of improving
Powers in the approaching diplomatic
, campaign.
Russia Wants a Nduy.
The Daily Telegraph's Paris CORES
Ipondent says that he has received, or
high authority, some confirmation of the
!: rumor that Russia Is negotiating for the
l surrender of the whole Turkish heet-
Fl What Austria wM Insist On.
II At the Conference Austria will insis
/ on fixing an exact limit to the Russiai
4 occupation of Bulgaria and the Danub'
|. fortresses. Each State sends two dele
& gates to the conference.
4 Conserving to the Conference
Allthe Powers have accepted Austria
Invitation to hold a conference excep
Russia, whose adhesion may be hourl,
Q expected. The Conference assemblies
n almost Immediately. The Berlin Nort'
n German Gazette states that Turkey ha,
: been invited to send representatives tt
the Conference.
. CESSATION OF HosTILITIEs.
& The Times st. Petersburg despatch
0 says:-The cessation of hoslilites has
t produced more anxiety than rejoicing
s GREEoE HAS GONE TOO FAR.
The Turkish Minister at Athens de
IsignaGes the action of the Greek govern
!. ment as q declaration of war. He tel
Il graphed to Constantlnople for men o.
y war to convey HIM thence, in consequ
i ence of which the Turkish fleet unde
4 Hobart Paoha has arrived at Pir8us
: The Greek government is in consterna
i ton and intends appealing TO the inte
i vention of the guaranteeing Powers. 4
! great panic prevails.
n WILL RUSSIA COME TO HER AID?
VI The conclusion of the armlstice ha
caused CONSERVATION, though the Ru
sian Minister here gave verbal prom
ise that Greece should be included in tn
n armistice. The only rational thing ..fo
u the Greeks to do is stop military oper
y tions Immediately and rely on this prom
. ise an! the good offices Of Europe. Blu
u no order has yet been sent to the army
5, and the general feeling seems to be i
u u favor of continuing the war at any sa,
II rifice. The position of the Greeks
bad. They can claim the reward neithe
of warlike achievements nor of peac
full policy.
g TURKEY AwAKES To HER DANGER.
9 Turkish iron-clads and transports hav
: been ordered to convey from 5000 b
o 10, 900 troops to the Gulf of Volo to op
s pose the Thessalian insurrection and en-
r deavor to cut of the retreat of the Greel
It army. The insurrection however is gain
e ing ground and the Greeks are advanc.
ing. The Greek government has resolv
ed not to stop the progress of the troop
- unless the great Powers promise to main
v tain order in the Hellenic Provinces ant
8 secure the rights of the Provinces in tn,
It Conference.
!, sULEIMAN TO THE SEAT OF WAR.
y The Times dispatch says that por
ton of Suleiman Pacha's troops still a
lKavala has been ordered to embark fol
Salonica to act against the Greeks.
b THE POWERS INTERVENE.
The Foreign Ministers met yesterday
: In Athens and undertook TO guarantee
!. the Pireus against bombardment if left
p unarmed. thereby remaining an open
n port. The Ministers adjourned the meet
+ ing to wait for further instructions.
!, LORD DERBY TO THE GREEKS.
0 Lord Derby, replying to deputation
i of Greek residents yesterday, said he
3 much regretted the invasion of Thessaly,
2 but he knew it had been forced on the
= Greek government by the demands Of
Z the people. He stated that ne could mol
= exert the power of Great Britain to pre-
e vent the bombardment of the Greek
seaboard, as he would thereby be sup
porting the invasion of Turkey. If
