PANIC IN GREECE.
ATHENS, Feb. 5.-The Turkish minister
here designates the action of the Greek gov
eminent as declaration of war. He tele-
graphed to Constantinople for man-of-war
to convey him hence, in consequence of
which the Turkish feet under Hobart Pasha
has arrived. The Greek government is in
CONSERVATION, and intends appealing to the
Intervention of the guaranteeing powers.
A great panic prevails.
LONDON, Feb. ga special from Athens
says the conclusion Of the armistic has caus-
ster here gave verbal promise that Greece
should be included in the armistic. The
only rational thing for the Greeks to do is to
stop military operations Immediately and
rely on this promise, and the good offices of
Europe; but no order has yet been sent to
the army, and the general feeling seems to
be in favor of continuing the war at any
sacrifice. The position Of the Greeks is bad.
They can claim the reward neither of war
like achievement nor of peaceful policy.

tive cheers, intended to enter conference
with the policy indicated by the last speaker

durable peace the basis of their policy at
the conference must be recognition of the
fact that the independence and integrity of
! the Ottoman empire had ceased.

said he was antonished at the moderation of
the opposition after their violent agitation
in the country. He protested against being
driven to accept Russia's pretensions that
she was the only power which would act on
behalf of oppressed nationalities and enfran-
chise other States, while maintaining a
despotism at home. The opposition asked
the house to weaken the hands of the gov
