 LONDON, July 23.-A dispatch from Athens says the Government of Greece has decided to call out it's reserves which will be included in the troops to be reorganized blythe French General Thomas. The army of the Greek Kingdom was until recently raised by con- scription, but in the session of last year the Bauli passed law introducing universal lia- bility to bear arms as in Germany. All able bodied males of the age of 21 and upwards are compelled to bear arms and no substi- tutes are allowed. The term of active service is three years in the regular army, six in the reserves and ten in the militia The nominal strength of the Greek army, according to the budget estimated for 1879, was 749 commis stoned officers of all grades, 1,981 non-com- missioned officers and 1O,92O men in rank and file. The navy consists of fourteen ves- sells, including two small ironelads, the King of Greece and the Queen Olga each carrying two 12-ton guns in single turrets, six screw steamers, two schooners, three cutters and the royal yacht Amphitrite. This force can be considerably increased by conscription if necessary, although the Government, it is said, will encourage volunteering in case war breaks out between Greece and Turkey.
 The disturbances at Valona in Albania have been suppressed. Before it could be done, however, the mob attacked the prison and endeavored to set free by force the State criminals confined there, but were driven .a1-- 1ok, Il, of military.
 Russia has redemanded the execution of Veil Mahommed the assassin of Colonel Cammeroff but the Porte still delays in the matter and will, it is understood, only yield under great diplomatic pressure.
 A dispatch from Scutari says the following is an accurate and authentic statement regard ing the aspirations of the two principal Alba nian leagues, namely, those of Scutari and Prizrend. Eschewing European informed ding, which would cause excitement at Stam- bout, they hope by direct negotiations with the Sultan to obtain not foreign but native governors for fixed period with somewhat enlarged authority regarding public works and local arbitration, with provincial coun- oil having at least advising Influence. This would involve neither the withdrawal of the Turkish garrisons nor diminished taxation or conscription wherever the latter exists Should the Sultan accept this proposal AL bania will officer 15O, GOO soldiers at her e1- pense besides the regulars, all of whom would fight with the energy of despair against the common enemies of Turkey and Albania, keeping Montenegro, Greece and Bulgaria in check without exhausting the central govern ment. Should the Sultan, however, endeav- or to execute the mandates of the conference or endeavor to surrender Tusi or Dulcizno, the whole of Albania from Novibazar to Jani- na, will surely revolt in disgust against him, thereby precipitating the ruin of Turkey.
