mense, not less than 10000 children and 10,
| 600 to 15,C00 adults were on the grounds. The

Safuet Pasha, grana vicar and minister
of foreign affairs, has sent circular to the
powers calling attention to the fact that the
Greek government, on the authority of reports
from its counsuls in Thessaly; in Epirus,
charges the Porte with stirring up the fanat-
| icism of the Albanians against Greece, and
| providing them with arms. Safuet Pasha
declares these assertions calumnious, and
communicated to the cabinets by Greece for
the purpose of justifying her military prepar-
atoms, which are really direct threat of ag-
erosion against the Ottoman Empire. He
proceeds to make counter charges, and says
the Porte is daily oppressed by the machina-
tions of Greece against Thessaly and Epirus
to arouse the peceable population. Moreover
he states Greece is preparing to place in the
field within month an army of 10000 men
with a reserve of 81, 900. This fact, conjointly
with the large orders for supplies and the
loan of $4,000, 600, leaves no doubt of the az
greseive intentions Of Greece.
