BRITISH ADMIRAL OFF ATHENS.
LONDON, May 7, Vice-Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, with the Mediterranean squadrou, has arrived in the Bay of Phaleron, off Athens, and will proceed to Piraeus and await orders regarding the dispute with Turkey. The Constantinople correspondent of The Times reports that it is felt that the part played by the Sultan's representative in Egypt, Mukhtar Pasha, will justify Great Britain in refusing to allow a Turkish representative to remain at Cairo, as the Commissioner's mission apparently is to encourage an anti.British agitation, subsidised from Constantinople.
