GREECE AND TURKEY.
Safuet Pasha, grand vicar and minister
Of foreign affairs, has sent circular to the
powers calling attention to the fact that the
Greek government, on the authority or re.
ports from the counsuls in Thessaly,in Epirus,
charges the Porte with stirring up the fanatic
ism of the Albaians against Greece, and PRO
vlding them with arms. safuet Pasha de-
clares these assertions calumnious, and com
municated to the cabinets by Greece for the
purpose Of justifying her military presara-
tons, which are really direct threat Of ag-
erosion against the Ottoman Empire He
proceeds 10 make counter charges. and says
the Porte is daily oppressed by the machiehna-
tons Of Greece against rhessal.ly and Epirus
to arouse the peaceable popu alton More
over he states that Greece is preparing to
plsee in the field within a month an army of
10000 men with a reserve Of $4,000. This
| fact, conformity with orders for supplee and
the loan OF $4,000, 900 leaves no doubt of the
aggressive intentions of Greece.
