THE FEELING OF THE GREEKS.
LONDON, Jan. S.-Private advices from
| Crete report rising and ferment of revo-
luton there, and determination of the
Greeks to seize the opportunity of rising
in Greece to throw off the Ottoman yoke.
ROME, Jan. 9.-The Diretto publishes
a dispatch from Athens which gives the
Greek premier, Comoundero's, last reply
to the French charge d'affairs. He at
tributes the present situation of the
Greek question to the action of the powers
at Berlin, which generated the hopes of
Greece, who is now only the executor of
the decision of the powers. Trusting
to the promises of the nations,
Greece has abstained from hostility,
but now, acting on wise counsel and
taught by the experience of Dulcigno, she
must prepare for hostilities She can't
recede. RetrOgression would cause con-
fusion. He states if arbitration were
based on the conference at Berlin it could
only effect the repetition of an act which
has already been accepted. If, on the con-
trary, the Berlin decision should be
modified, Greece would see her rights
diminished, and would be entitled to
refuse the result. Nothing can be hoped
from the Porte. 1t is painful but inev-
itible that it will be necessary to appeal
to arms.
PARIS, Jan SIN diplomatic circles
it is believed the mobilization Qf the
Greek reserves will absolve France from
further action in behalf of Greece.
