TURKEY AND GREECE.
(Times.)

CoNsTANTINoPLE FEB. 16.
The Ambassadors are awaiting the
arrival of Count Hatzfeldt to begin
the negotiations on the Greek question.
Their complete inactivity in the abb
sence oftheir German colleague seems
to confirm the intelligence received
by the Porte that Prince Bismarck
has at last, after much hesitation, con-
sented to take the initiative in the
negotiations. The intelligence is
very agreeable to the Sultan, because
he believes that Germany has hither-
to shown more consideration for his
interests than any of the other Pow
ers, and hat she will in the future
e%ndeavour to reduce TO a minimum
the sacrifices demanded of him. Some
Of the persOnages who are supposed
to enjoy the Imperial confidence go
so far as to declare that His Majesty
has received from Berlin a positive
assurance to that effect, but such de-
clarations have very little value. All
that is known with certainty regard
ing the future negotiations is that
they are to be conducted with the
greatest possible secresy, and this
preliminary decision is regarded as
a new proof that the directing hand
is in Berlin, for it is well known
that the German Chancellor regards
publicity as a useless disturbing ele-
ment in diplomatic action, except
when the passions and excitements of
the masses are required to further
the end in view. How far the public
will be keptin the dark remains to be
seen meanwhile there can be little
doubt regarding the first steps to be
taken. The Powers will reply, if not
collectively, at least simultane ously,
to the Porte's proposal to open nego-
tiatIons, and will ask what territory
the Sultan is prepared to cede to
Greece, giving it at the same time to
be understood that as the Powers
have declined to accept the line des-
cribed in the Note of the Sd. of Octo-
Der some additional concessions were !
expected. In anticipation of this
question the Sultan has caused the
subject to be carefully studied by the
