FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

London, June lS.--A dispatch from Ath-
ems to Reuters Telegram company says au-
thentic information from Jannia states that
the entreates of the inhabitants of the sur
rounding districts were sent on the 18th inst. to
foreign ambassadors at Constantinople. They
accuse the porte of sending to Jannia Al.
bantam chiefs, who, Joined by Turkish
officers, assemble in the mosques, trying to
imbue the native Albanians with sentiments
favorable to the porte. They ais continually
collect in Jannia irregular Albanian forces,
under the command of the brigsnd chief,
and dispensing them throughout the province,
ostensibly to punish brigandsge, but really to
occupy important positions in Thyrus, thus
raising obstacles to the execution of the de-
cison Of the Berlin conference. The petit
ton earnestly enlreats speedy solution of
the Greek question TO avert bloodshed, MS the
conduct of the porte renders II collision in
evitable,
THE NAPOLEON MEMORIAL,
A motion will be introduced in the house
OF commons shortly, declaring that the cree
ton of the Napoleon memorial in Westmins-
ter Abbey would be inconsistent with the
national charact Of the ediflce; opposed to
the sentiments of the English people and
calculated to impair their friendly relations
with France,
THE PoRTE's REPLY TO LORD SALISBURY.
Paris, June ls.--The reply of the porte to
that part of the identical note relating to
Greek questions, says tho porte has not re-
piled to Lord Salisbury's dispatch in regard
to 1 international commission Of deimita-
ton, because he objected to the principles of
such commission, for reason that il will be
instructed to make decisions irreconcilable
with the idea of mere mediation. The
porte has always understood that me-
diation would address itself TO the
states Interested, especially that one
which was called upon to make n
sacriice of such mediation should exclude
all fears of an attack on the independence OF
the porte and the freedom of its deliberations
If conference has only objected to the pre-
| pairing of conciliatory line of action, cal
culaled 10 lead to argument, freely accepted
by the power which is in possession OF the
disputed territory, then the porte, re-assuree
rs to its independence, has only to consider
| the overtures which the mediatory powers
may wish TO make, AS for the delmita
| ton commission, which tho conference,
is to send, it cannot agreeably will
all rules and precedents, have any otheI
mandate Khan to apply upon the spot, thu
! time previously agreed upon between the
powers and the state, and which is calleC
upon to make surrender Of the territory
The porte declaring this resolution TO facilitate
the tack of mediatory powers, and rely in!
on the justice and friendship of the sigma
lures of the treaty Of Berlin, will seize every
occasion to exhibit its good
will and Difference toward Europe.
