CONSTANTINOPLE.
March 17. Definite information has transpired regarding the results up to the present time of the negotiations which have been proceeding during the past three weeks between the Ambassadors of the Powers and the Ottoman Government, with a view to determine the Turco-Greek frontier question. It is now known that the Porte recently offered to cede Thessaly to Greece, but the European Ambassadors were at once unanimous in declining to accede to this arrangement, declaring that the proposed transfer of territory was totally inadequate to satisfy the legitimate demands of the Greek Government, and the provisions of the Treaty of Berlin. The Forte thereupon expressed its willingness to cede the Island of Crete to Greece, but absolutely refuses to surrender the province of Epirus, which it was provided by the Berlin Treaty should form part of the extended Greek frontier. It is not yet known what reply has been returned by the Powers to this last proposal of the Porte.
