THE WAR IN CRETE.
Omar Pasha, according to a despatch of Athenian origin, has committed such atrocities on the Cretans — apparently in revenge for having been repcatedfy defeated by them — that the various European consuls have made representations on the subject to their respective Governments. Constantinople advices, however, speak of Omar's successes ; and the cruelties may perhaps be an invention. Still, it is not to be denied that the insurrection is far from put down ; and a collective note from France, Russia, Prussia, and Italy (England does not join) has been presented to the Porte, urging the suspension of hostilities, and an enquiry into grievances by commissioners appointed jointly by the great powers and the Porte. The Turkish Government is said to have acceded to this proposition, which means the reopening of the eternal " Eastern question," and possibly war.
