LBy Tblbgbaph.] [Per ».s. Albion, at Hokitikn..] LONDON, October 23. A political crisis has occurred in Greece, and the Ministry have been obliged to resign. Immediately after the delivery of the king's speech the Chamber of Deputies proceeded to review the conduct of the Government in relation to the negociations carried on with the powers in reference to the rectification of the Greco-Turkish frontier. A general expression of condemnation was evoked in consequence of their failure to secure recognition for the claims of Greece. An adverse vote of the Chamber followed, whereupon the Ministry forwarded their resignations to the Sing, and now only hold office pending the appointment of their successors. The speech delivered by the King and the subsequent action of the Chamber of Deputies in defeating the Government has had the effect of creating a warlike spirit throughout Greece. The army has been placed upon a war footing, and the people are in favor of insisting by force of arms upon Turkey ceding tho territory demanded by Greece, in accordance with the recommendation contained in the Treaty of Berlin. The situation of affairs at the Cape is assuming a serious aspect. The Basutos, though defeated in every encounter with the Colonial forces, are acquiring strength. The rebellious Natives have been reinforced by great numbers, and Masupah, Lerothodi and other chiefs are manifesting a belligerent attitude. It is believed that the active interference of the Imperial troops will be necessary to effectually overcome the Basutos. CONSTANIINOfLE, October 23.

The ambassadors of Germany, France, and Austria, have taken an important part in urging this step on the Sultan, who has, in consequence of the repeated representations, ordered Biza Pasha, in command of the Turkish troops, to complete the cession of the territory within a period of five days.
