WARLIKE ATTITUDE OF GREECE.  . • A despatch from Athens, under date :Oath Jan. say.: The news of the conclusion of peace caused great consternation here, and the Chamber of Deputies has suspended it. sitting. A vast crowd of at lariat 10,000 persons went in disorderly procession to the residence@ of MK. Deligeorms. Tricoupis, Zaienis, Couinoundouro., and Delyanni, where they broke the windows and committed other damage. Pistol shots were fired at the hotel of the Minister President, M. Coumoundouroe. The rioters then proceeded to the King's palace, where hi. Majesty harangued the people, admitting that the present position of affairs was a painfnl one for the nation. The King added that no one loved his country more than he, but it was indispensable to remain calm. The mob then continued its way to the houses of the other Ministers, but were eventually dispersed by the troops. It is expected that a similar demonstration will take place to-morrow, and the troops have been consigned to their barrack., with strict orders to repress with energy any manifestation that may occur. CRITICAL POSITION OF CONSTANTINOPLE, The Daily Items Constantinople correspondent say.: The condition of the country for 100 mile. round Constantinople is very serious. Outrages are being committed everywhere by the Oircaesians, who are robbing and murdering everybody. So far as I learn, the Turks are not committing these outrage., but are being plundered and driven from their home, together with their Christian neighbours. At Bourse. great numbers of fugitives have come from the villages, mostly Greek and Buigarian, but with Tl:rks among them, driven in by the Circaesiana The English despatch boat Torch brought upwards of 300 here. Captain Hammond chartered an Engtish vessel, the Alexandria, on behalf of the English Government, but on his own responsibility, to convey the refugees to Constantinople, preferring to incur the risk of payment himself rather than leave the poor I wretches to starve on the beach. Front Rodosto, on the Sea of Marmo-a, come similar reports of outrages by the Circe...ism The country all around is given up to plunder. The Greeks and Bulgarians are suffering most, but the Turks also in consequence of the Circassians and the advance of the Russian.. Constantinople is full of refugees. The number is estimated at from 50,000 to 70,000. The suffering among the women and children is terrible. The greater portion are Moslems. Of these the men are armed, and to the absence of troops the condition of the capital is vet y critical. I have reason to believe that the Government in its own intereat will de the utmost to prevent an outbreak ; but hunger ;and fanaticism ie-e dangeroue stimulant.. The Government is distributing the refugees about the city under the supervision of the Civic Guard, but the work is very difficult. Should the armistice not be agreed to, and a siege of Constantinople be determined on, measures ought to be taken by the united Powers for the preservation of the very large Christian and foreign population. Probably the Porte itself would not object to the presence of a certain number of ships of each Power in the Bosphorus to prevent attacks by the law lea population, out of the imetrol of the Government. The dobatee in Parliameat on the reply to the Queen's Speech have succeeded in convinong the Turks of Sngland's neutrality.
