PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
London, July 19. From Constantinople it is reported that Tewfik Pasha attended a meeting of the Foreign Ambassadors and announced that the Sultan had, to a very large extent, accepted the terms of peace with Greece dictated by the Powers.
Although the Sultan, chiefly in obedience to Germany, accepted the principle of the evacuation of Greece, Tewfik Pasha submitted an amended frontier.
TLo Foreign Ambassadors replied that they would renew the discussion of the question when the Sultan's written acceptance of the Powers' terms of peace had been obtained.
The Sultan, having announced his intention to resume sovereignty over Crete, ordered Djvad Pasha to procoed to the island.
The admirals thereupon declared they would prevent Djvad Pasha landing, and this ultimatum prevented his embarking for Crete. In the French Chamber of Deputies M. Hanotaux stated that the question of indemnity to be paid by Greece to Turkey had been settled, but the question of the abolition of the Greek enpil illations was postponed.
